Someone made a comment about Robin running away now, no longer
posting, hiding after his last letter. I don't believe this.
You don't think he fears the sudden appearance of a failed exorcism?
Your strong character, your obvious beauty and your integrity?
I think we have to realize that it took many years for R. to process
what he went through - whatever each of us might believe that to be -
and then he's forced to potentially confront YOU....online?
It's just too exacting a mirror to stare into.
I'm just not sure there is anything more for him to say. I haven't
read all of his words on FFL but I know there are enough to create
a hefty manuscript. Now, having established that none of you a
downright dumb, quite the opposite, I have to wonder what the hell
more he could possibly say to any of you, what other admissions,
explanations, reasons for his behaviour or beliefs he could give you.
Unless they were familiar with the peculiar dynamic of the WTS, I
seriously doubt there's anything he could say (I'm leaving the
diehard Aquinas fans out of this :-)). But even then his new wine
does not find any comfort in those old skins, and he cringes at the
thought of being forcibly placed in them again, esp. through coercion
or trickery or surprise.
The thought of being forced into that context again would be too much
to bear.
My theory is you want him to stick around because that compulsion,
that desire for a heated debate that keeps you all here and that
likes a good fight is missing out in his absence.
I think you're right - for most posters.
