As I went on to make clear, I'm asking whether you truly believe LK has been "generous to Robin" in his portrayals of Robin's activities here on FFL (the only activities of his you know about firsthand, obviously). > > really think how Lord Knows has characterized Robin's > > activities on FFL bears any resemblance to the reality, > > do you? > > In my opinion it sounds pretty accurate, and like a horrible > experience. I beg your pardon? Robin's activities on FFL sound like a "horrible experience"? You must mean Lord Knows's characterization of Robin's activities 30 years ago. But that wasn't what I asked you about. (On the other hand, how would you know whether LK's description of Robin 30 years ago was accurate?) Now, would you mind answering my question? Do you think LK's descriptions of Robin's participation on FFL are accurate? > You're *agreeing* with Barry that Robin is > > "sucking" people "into his web"? > > I think Robin is brilliant and working things out about himself > and his beliefs That, of course, is what he has repeatedly said himself: that he is working things out about himself and his beliefs. > - and can still be very powerful with words and ideas.

I find what Robin writes often compelling and fascinating, but it's never made me uncomfortable; and I've never seen anybody else suggest that. > I think he is powerful, without intending to do anything > negative to others. He just has incredible power I concur. But again, that isn't what I asked you. Do you agree with Barry that Robin is trying to "suck people into his web"? And of course that's what LK has suggested as well. Do you find that suggestion "generous to Robin"?
