I am not sure if Judy had me in mind, but it is certainly true. If anybody thinks that this is an overeaction, or is interested, you can look at the last post Barry wrote to one of my posts, and then compare it to the original post. To cut it short, Barry draws a number of conclusions out of my posts about my alleged opinions, which are in no way written there, and which I had made clear to him before, that they are not mine. I came to the decission that I would have to go into another round of what I actually think, and what I said, in opposition of what he declares me of having said. If anyone is interested - which I doubt, you can look. So I was simply tired of this game. My reaction my be right or wrong, you may call me thinskinned, I am simply being honest to you. Why should I leave only for one person? Well, for one thing I knew him online for a longer time than many others here. Second, I feel he has a certain degree of support in the group, and he tries to dominate it, by his literary eloquence. This seems to count more here than logical argument. There is a certain casualness in the group which I find alienating. Maybe the group is simply too big. There is a certain amount of negativity and sarcasm penetrating the group - I can live without it. Now let me say that I have also had fruitful discussions here, and there are certainly people here that I respect and like a lot. I also had nice exchanges with Barry in the past, I even had an email exchange with him not too long ago, which was very nice and on a friendly basis. I used to think that if we would meet in person, we could have a nice and very interesting talk. But our last exchanges made me feel otherwise - I may be right, I may be wrong, but I have no interest anymore. I just feel a wall of negativity descending on me in almost all of his posts. About Judy I can say that she has a remarkable intellectual power, and that she was always interpreting me right. Maybe I expressed myself unclearly or too abstract, she could always say what I had meant. That doesn't mean I agree with everything she says - after all I am following a very different way since more than 20 years - but its a capacity of understanding and intuition which is remarkable - yes right not just intellectual scrutinity, but also intuition. I largely agree with what Jim wrote. Jim was one of the few perls on this forum. I have been off and on again, so people may not notice I unsubscribed. I must also admit that I had unscubscribed one time before. I only inscribed myself again after MMY's death and funeral. I wanted to give some information to some people here.
