SNIP <"Or simply common sense.">
Zarzari, I wanted to submit this for an Unintended Irony Award, but I see you already won first prize this year with the "love-bomb" post(s) and also, that one with pictures really was in top form. I am curious if you are aware of why that post fell completely flat...could there have been something you missed in the larger picture, or maybe in your assumptions/analysis of Ravi and the conversations he was in, or was it just "simply common sense" on your part that you were trying to impart to those of us "taken in" by Ravi. I'm hoping I will be next to receive one of these base internet-style diagnoses. Based on what I've posted on this forum, there is a lot to go on at this point....it might be time to stifle me a bit, slap a label on me, employ some "tough love", and then project an air of sympathy to the other forum members for how pathologically disturbed I am. What I like most about diagnoses are the "labels"...the more the merrier...for mine, feel free to use as many as it takes to get a comprehensive diagnosis in place and then, do me a favor, write them in calligraphy, wrap them in a box (a simple silver Nordtrom-like box will do) and tie it up with a pretty purple satin ribbon? I like my labels to be presented to me in a classy way and always inside a box. Your's/Barry's willingness to define Ravi and Robin with these kinds of labels on this forum (internet) in such a conclusionary manner is from a common sense perspective, simply unmitigated arrogance out of control - a classic symptom of NPD, in case you are interested. Now, like you, I have some real-world experience with NPD's. In fact, I have almost 50 years of deeply and intimately knowing and relating to NPDs. I was raised by two, took a short break during my 20's, and then powered down for the next 15 years with some true hard-core NPDs - the kind that fully fit Sam Vaknin's descriptions and the DSM IV and every other self-help book out there. The first has the honor of being my children's father; I rebounded immediately into another long-term relationship - one wasn't enough for me. I worked with one towards the end of my career and had so much experience by that point, that he never did know who it was that took him out (until the very end). From my years of experience, I am of the opinion that you/Barry have made some critical and major errors in judgment and should have preceded your diagnostic conclusions with a well-researched "fatal flaw analysis," at the very least. Putting people in labeled boxes without their consent to serve your interests is another classic symptom of NPD, btw. Now, you've exhibited two. One more, and maybe I'll slap a label on you. Probably not though...it strikes me as kind of crazy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd2B6SjMh_w >________________________________ > From: zarzari_786 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> >To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Monday, December 26, 2011 4:26 PM >Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: SECOND Open [non-performance] Letter to Ravi >Chivukula > > > > >--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: >> >> This stuff in unbelievable.
