I read a fascinating book about how grudges are maintained in the Mideast from generation to generation. The perception of ongoing offense is critical for maintaining the emotional intensity and for maintaining victim status to maintain a grudge. It becomes entwined with cultural and personal identity so that great lengths are taken to find "evidence". Even to the point of trying to connect things that to an outside observer seem like a ridiculous stretch. For example trying to connect what happened when I first started posting with my current non interest in your feud. The common thread...your victim hood. Must serve something important for you. Just leave your co-pay with the office on your way out. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> > wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > Snip > > > > > > It is neither yours nor Barry's best work here IMO. > > > > > > Says Curtis, judging the quality of our work. > > > > Yup, imagine that. > > > > > And as noted, you judge the exchanges on a lot of > > > other things you couldn't possibly evaluate if you > > > hadn't been following them. > > > > Obviously I followed it enough to form the opinion. > > We disagree. > > > I haven't slavishly followed every detail, I don't need to. > > Your deal with each other is nothing if not predictable. > > > > snip > > > > > I would not have a malicious liar for a friend, and I > > > don't have much respect for anyone who would. > > > > Right, I got that, but you sure hide it well.
