Speaking of , "demonizing", remember, "martinizing"? Maybe we should do more of that around here. Or "simonizing". After awhile, I used to mentally read the sign, as, "Martini Zing!", whenever I'd see a dry cleaner, offering that option. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote :
Emily, Share picked it up from Barry. It's his term; he uses it all the time, claiming it's what his critics are doing to him. I have on occasion used it back at him, because his attacks on his critics are so much worse than anything they say about him. I think one could say that if anybody does anything resembling demonizing around here, it's Barry. Correct. Share, the point is that if you continue to use the word "demonize", regardless of whether you attribute it to yourself or others, you are still indicating that you believe this is going on, which I am saying and which Judy is saying, is going on in your imagination, only. Maybe you should "unpack" that word for yourself so you understand what it means, really. I looked it up - you are way off base using this term. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : No, Emily didn't miss the point, you did. If you say you are "demonizing the demonizers," that means you think there are demonizers to be demonized. Emily's telling you there aren't any demonizers except those in your imagination. Get it now? It's pretty simple. jeez, Emily, talk about missing the point! I said I was demonizing the demonizers. But maybe you just wanted to echo that when you said demonizing was going on in my own mind. Go figure!

But maybe if enough of us stop demonizing, then everyone will. And I realize I'm demonizing the demonizers. Go figure!

It simply seems to me that lots of people on FFL are demonizing other people and or organizations. By demonizing I mean: thinking of them as ALL bad. By what they write, I think that some people think that certain others are ALL bad. Of course this is my interpretation of what they write. Your interpretation is faulty because already so many have told you that no one is demonizing anyone nor are they claiming anyone is ALL bad, at least with regard to Bawwy who seems to be who you are 'defending' now. Do you think Bawwy "demonizes" Judy or Robin or me or even Doc? Do you think Bawwy could ever make himself gag up a compliment toward Judy or Robin, for that matter? And if you believe others to be demonizing "people and organizations" at FFL then what influence do you believe you could possibly have in changing that? To what degree do you believe in holding others accountable for bad behavior even though you feel they are being "demonized" by others who have taken exception to it? Why do you never run to Judy's 'defense' or mine? How impartial is your sense of justice to defend those you feel are being "ganged up" on?
