Note that Barry hasn't admitted his own mistake of thinking Emily was addressing Barry and Vaj when she was addressing Barry and zarzari. She had even begun the post with "Zarzari..." and was clearly responding to an exchange between him and Barry, but by the time Barry got to the phrase "you/Barry," Barry was so lost he thought "you" was addressed to Vaj. Barry's brazenly stolen zarzari's prize for Inadvertent Irony from right under his nose by proceeding to call *Robin* crazy for getting people confused.

In this exchange, the two of them--Barry and zarzari--were in near-perfect agreement; they were both saying the same things. In terms of content, who said what was inconsequential: Robin's analysis of biases and agendas fit them both. Plus which, what Barry quotes below was *clearly* directed at zarzari rather than Barry. Not only did Robin refer to zarzari by name twice, he mentioned zarzari coming to post at FFL (zarzari arrived here *after* Robin did, whereas Barry was here *before* Robin arrived); and also that zarzari had made the post he was commenting on before taking a leave of absence, which again obviously did not refer to Barry. Robin was careless in labeling what he quoted. We all get our attributions wrong on occasion. It's hardly an indication of mental illness or even personality disorder. This > strikes me as being in the same ballpark of crazy as when > he earlier lost it heavily over a photograph of him *that > no one ever suggested existed*. Well, let's recall the layout of that ballpark, shall we? Here's what Barry had written: "I may have to reveal on FFL that I got the image of Robin dressing up in women's clothing before posting from a private exchange with Curtis." Robin misinterpreted "image" to mean "photograph." He quickly realized his mistake on that point and apologized. The rest of that episode was about the real issues involved, not the nonexistent photograph, contrary to what Barry misleadingly suggests above. Barry had revealed a private communication between him and Curtis in a way that made what Curtis had said to Barry about Robin sound derogatory, and Robin was understandably upset at Curtis's apparent hypocrisy, since he and Curtis had been having an extended very friendly discussion. Just to reinforce the point: Robin's mistake about the nonexistent photo was disposed of right at the start. It was inconsequential with regard to his actual grievance, which was based on Barry's deliberate misrepresentation of Curtis's remarks to Barry in private email. Curtis had to go to considerable lengths to explain to Robin the context that Barry had carefully omitted. (He had even misquoted Curtis.) Curtis also took Barry to task for having betrayed their private exchange, and Barry was forced to apologize to Curtis. The upshot was that Robin came to understand why Curtis had said what he did privately to Barry. And Robin's posts as that understanding developed were quite remarkable. The sequence can be read here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/293951 Bottom line, Barry did his damndest to drive a wedge between Curtis and Robin and *almost* succeeded. I'm not sure their relationship was ever quite the same after this, but they were able to mend fences for a while, at least. Barry's had many low points on FFL; this was unquestionably the lowest, although he's now coming close to exceeding those depths in trying to exploit them to Robin's disadvantage. Barry himself has made so many careless, stupid mistakes on FFL that one would think he'd have some humility when someone else makes them. Also note the *extraordinary* hypocrisy of his comment about Robin allegedly "not caring enough about the people he is supposedly conversing with."
