Dear Share, whatever are you talking about? Seriously, it's probably my memory, but I have no idea what you are saying - I swear we don't speak the same language! I am "sniping nastily" at you? What? Can you do me a favor and send me the posts where I am doing that?
Do you think it is condescending of you to assume that my position towards you has something to do with what went down personally between you and Robin? My gripe with you in 2012 had to do with the way you treated me and the others you assigned to the cult Share. Remember? You assigned me to a cult and called me all kinds of names and made assumptions about my intentions that were totally incorrect? And, then, after launching the attacks, one after another, you pretended that you weren't, and that we were all abusing you, and then you ran away and stuck your tongue out at us (and me in particular, as I was trying desperately to resolve the situation with you like a good FFL-adult), from behind Steve's back? Remember? Am I missing something? Here you go again, Share. Your MO from the beginning has been to launch missiles and run. And then, get angry and launch more missiles and run again...it's an endless karmic cycle, from what I can see and I have detached fully from letting your behavior bother me in any way. You must have had a bad day today. People who are in denial that they have negative feelings project them sideways and then cover them up with sticky sweetness. Pretty simple and you are a classic example of this. Sorry, but this is an easy one. I hold no animosity towards you at all for your treatment of me. None. Really - believe me. I let it all go Share. I am not being ironic here. In fact, I've been finding your posts "refreshingly you," of late, and I told you just this. Did you think I was making fun of you in a mean and nasty way when I said that? Share, you have and continue to try to control people and aspects of this forum that you don't understand. If you don't understand something, just ask. No need to translate whatever it is into something negative that you can then put down and reject. You dissed me fully for playing with your name and that's all you've done recently to others. Just a teensy-weensy bit hypocritical on just that one behavior, don't you think? You try to control responses to your posts by tagging the subject line back to who you want to correspond with - not happening on a public forum, sweet pea. You have some real fear-based control issues Share. Your sense of humor is very literal - you don't understand and therefore misinterpret much of the humor that crosses this forum that isn't literal in nature. Do you recognize that you do this? Is this an accurate assessment of you Share? Is this confrontational enough for you? Is it possible that you have misinterpreted both my intention and the words I've written in my posts? Is it possible that the obvious assumptions you have outlined below are inaccurate? Is it possible that you have incorrectly intuited anything here? I assure you that you have mischaracterized me completely and I am so sorry that you think I think so negatively of you. So not true Share. I forgave you - did I forget to tell you? I am no more confrontational with you than with anyone and in fact, I think accusing me of being confrontational is a judgment on your part - don't own up to it though. And remember Share..."running out of money" is a non-statement - maybe I just need to catch up on some paperwork and sell some more stock. We all have different comfort zones when it comes to money. If you think that I am stupid enough to allow you to take up time in my real world that I would be spending looking for work, think again, Share. Your statement below tying my purported financial situation to wasting time and energy on carrying a grudge towards you is simply irrational and untrue. I don't tell you how to waste your time - don't tell me how to waste mine. You are behaving in a judgmental way again. There, was that confrontational enough? Warm milk with honey to you m'dear. >________________________________ > From: Share Long <sharelon...@yahoo.com> >To: "fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com" <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> >Sent: Friday, January 11, 2013 9:43 PM >Subject: [FairfieldLife] dear everyone on FFL > > > >During my Christmas vacation I realized that if I'm lucky, I have about 30 >more years on this planet.
