This reminds me of the life cycle of an insect from egg, larva, worm, pupa, to six legged bug. I believe it's the worm stage that is creepiest for quite some time before it returns to egg. > He's always been extraordinarily obnoxious, but in > the past several years his fantasy world has taken > over more and more. I read some of his earlier writings posted by WillyTex on Alter net. He seemed more balanced emotionally and almost "nice." Cranky doesn't always come with aging, but in Barry's case, it seems to be escalating. > (At least with regard to FFL; for all we know, he isn't that > dysfunctional in his real life.) Do you jest or do you really know how functional he is in "real life"? According to Barry, based on what folks write on FF Life it's OK to fantasize about the lonely, loser lives of those who disagree with him and attempt to convince others to dislike the people he dislikes. Projection is Barry's art form.
