Because I agree with Barry? That's all the criterion you ever have right? And it's wrong, because I know what Barry INTENTS to say, and appreciate him for his ATTITUDE. > What the article Barry posted was describing had nothing to > do with anything that was going on or ever *has* gone on on > FFL. Barry knows that, navashok knows that. According to your own admission, which you obviously don't remember, you not only expressed, that you would prefer me not being on the forum, but said to one of your piling-on-comrades at the time, when you were engaged in some kind of slugfest with me, 'that's the way to do it. Soon he will give up' (not literally). To chase somebody on a public forum where everyone can post and flood them with negativity, as you do it, under whatever pretext, is actually quite possible, and obvious in your case. In this sense, the article was indeed relating to this type of behavior on FFL, and it is even more obvious, why you of all people don't like this to be discussed. The article clearly explained that one of the tactics of the stalker was obsessive flooding with emails. This corresponds directly to some behavior here, as flooding with posts can occur here. In addition to the normal stalker, who is usually just a single person, you have on groups the phenomenon of piling on. Bullying and psychological harassment are all similar behaviors, and are known to occur in Internet forums, and on Facebook and studied by psychologists. > Commenting negatively on something someone said in a post on > an Internet forum is not "stalking" by any honest definition. > If it were, almost all of us here would be "stalkers," Barry > and navashok most definitely included. > > The motivation for calling this "stalking" is very simple: > It's an attempt at revenge by Barry and nashoka on those > who make negative comments on their posts because they are > unable to refute the comments, and when they instigate > arguments in an attempt to do so, they are unable to "win." Total BS of course. In the case of the thread we just talked about, YOU were asking ME, if I didn't know what my mistake was supposed to be!! Give me a break, you didn't even make an argument. > They can't hold their own, so they portray themselves as > victims.

Now you are talking a little bit too collectively. With all appreciation of Barry that I have, he could be rough with people. That's not me though. You have not reason to accuse me of any kind of similar behavior. My simple appreciation of Barry, which does not relate to ALL his posts and opinions makes you say that this would prove my lack of integrity and my dishonesty. Not at all! That I acknowledge the positive points in a person, and that I can see - from within his own perspective - the integrity and the wisdom that he expresses, that makes you think that I am dishonest? It only shows your own lack of empathy, you are a social cripple who is unable to wish your opponent even a happy birthday or a happy new year!! You think that would be hypocrisy!!! It speaks volumes about you!!!! Look how you treat Richard over the years, how arrogant and full of contempt you speak of him, despite of the fact that he supports you (except in political questions.) I may not agree with him, but I NEVER tread him that way! Your constant appeal to your own supposed intellectual superiority is simply disgusting. > Neither of them will even try to address what I just said, > because they know it's accurate. Because they know that you are thickheaded, and nobody actually cares about your endless quibbles.
