Sorry to involve you in this rap even indirectly, Marek, but this comment really does cut to the chase about a disturbing trend I see on this forum. It seems to be the overriding intention of several posters to this forum to try to FORCE others into discussing their own failings. Those doing this seem to feel that they have not only the "right" to force people to do this, but the "right" to try to convince others about these supposed failings. And, of course, to coax them to join in with the denouncing of these supposed failings. Bunch of petty, junior-high-school-level, near-psycho- pathic bullshit, if you ask me. This phenomenon describes Judy hounding Curtis to try to *force* him to argue her pathological impressions of him with her. This phenomenon describes Robin trying to do the same with pretty much everyone, attempting to draw them into one of his "confrontations." It describes the "piling on" behavior of others who wish to force others to "sit there and listen" while they go off on them. And it certainly describes the behavior of a person who is still stalking the guy who dumped her publicly 25 years ago, still trying to draw him into interacting with her again so that she can pretend she wasn't dumped. >From one (or several) points of view, this is a really sick forum. Far worse than being the Funny Farm Lounge that Bhairitu calls it. This place is a fuckin' zoo. Speaking only for myself, I owe no one on this forum participation in their fantasies about me. I may prod them from time to time into *demonstrating* those fantasies for the amusement of others, but I don't feel the need to participate in them.
