Although I spent a few posts hitting Judy about the face and neck with this particular sock full of batteries (padlocks work just at well in prison) I am taking a different tact now. I want to unhook all tit for tat (hard to use that phrase enough) reciprocity expectations. Although I appreciate when anyone stands up for me here, I do not expect it, and in fact as a friend to many here do not even advise it with regard to Ravi. This is a horse of a different color than your typical one time drive by. This is an unprincipled person and you don't need to put yourself on his radar. My suggestions to any well-wishers here is, everything is cool, I got this, don't get involved and take a side here. It wont help me and could hurt you. It already has hurt Steve whose intentions were kind. I'll accept anyone's good will on my highly developed vibe level (Yeah, I got on of those, sure!) And that goes for Judy too, I have zero expectations for her to tell Ravi to chill, I was using that to make a point, the point has been made and now I am explicitly taking that expectation off the table. Everybody be Internet safe, watch your own backs, and this too shall pass. Good fences make good neighbors and I'm constructing one with 100,000 volts. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> > wrote: > > > > Scanning over the posts this morning was a little wake-up call.
