Wai - Wai - Wait a minute. ". . .fairly selfish, narcisstic person . . . feable attempts at connection . . .my way or the highway . . . I see no forgiveness . . . doesn't bode well for future relationships . . . running away mentality". What is necessarily and what is unnecessarily confrontational? I looked back at some of my posts, I feel the knives sharpening already and the search engines clanking, but some "harsh" words I could find in the posts I looked at were "anger", "flunkies - which I didn't say", "minions". I gave our dear NYS the nickname of Uncle because I said I thought of him as a Dutch uncle, and he didn't seem to take umbrage at that, at first. I also said I thought he was looking for an Eliza Doolittle-Professor Higgins type relationship with his WAS.
The words I get in return are "deluded", "hateful", "childish", "verbally abusive", "harsh", "confrontational". Oh, and a 27-year veteran of the police force offered to beat me up in the style of the Duke and then said forget it, as if that takes away any of the threat.
I suppose if you put enough attention on my post, the kimshee will be deflected to me and you won't have to bear the consequences of your post and raise your shield.
