Only took three "nice" posts before he had to go back to "bastard." ;-)

As I pointed out to Stupid Sal, Barry does just as much "piling on" as anybody else, if not more (the post I'm responding to being an example). > That's really it. Ravi, too.

Says Barry, not giving us any attention. ;-) Barry, we don't *need* you to argue with us. We can spew our venom at you just fine without your participation, just as you have no problem spewing your venom at us without our participation. And > the more I ignore them, and the more that > their attempts *to* suck me into arguments > fail, the more obsessive and the more > pissed off they seem to get. No, that's your fantasy. It isn't borne out by the traffic. Our criticism of you has *nothing* to do with your refraining from arguing. Nothing. It has to do with your persistent all-around nastiness and hypocrisy. > Was I right on by calling this syndrome > "attention vampirism," or what?

It's obvious that you desperately *need* to maintain this fantasy. You also hope that somehow voicing it will intimidate us into not criticizing you. But it doesn't work, never has, as many times as you've used it. As I've pointed out before, if you don't want to be criticized, *stop doing* what you're being criticized for. One might even suggest that your relentless unpleasantness is designed to *provoke* criticism, because you don't have as much success as you crave getting attention any other way. If anybody here on FFL is an "attention vampire," it's you.
