Re: (OT) Does this make any sense?

Quoted message said:

Here. In its entirety:

I say this with absolutely no trace of malice or aggression.

You ought to get some help ... either from your sponsor or your
meetings or a doctor or .... ?

To see that you're *still* referencing me this morning/last night ...
and to /guess/ that you never did stop throwing pot shots at me from
the sidelines ... wow.

Then, to have you--in your cutesy little way, yet again--make the
thinly-veiled reference to my inability to--what was it? "WORK--"
knowing full well that I've been declared medically disabled, managing
chronic eye pain, and am trying desperately to find another feasible
career for myself.

Then, after launching THAT pot-shot, to feign righteous indignation
that I mentioned 'booze,' while *again,* you went ugly first .....

You're right. It meets all of the criteria for dry drunk ... or
worse.

You blew a gasket because I wasn't "man enough" to end our friendship
face-to-face. You and I have wildly differing views of what it means
to be a man. Your seeming inability to stop attacking, insulting,
and/or being passive aggressive to me, when I don't recall having done
a single thing to hurt you, only confirms the reasons I decided that
you weren't somebody that I wanted to be close to. You may want to
rethink your troglodyte definition of the concept.

My laptop DID crash. I don't have any filtering abilities right now
(other than choice!), so--yes--I have seen how you're still on the
offensive ... and it's offensive.

You ought to get some help with it.

Respond/don't respond. It's your choice. I do have you filtered,
though, so--at least--I won't see your e-mails. I'm just taking the
high ground (IMO) here and suggesting that you need to figure out why
you seem totally incapable of dropping this and leaving *me* alone.

I will gladly reply to these things -- PRIVATELY (the way you sent it to
me).

Who's frigign' obsessed here Neil?!?

YOU. I DON'T WANT YOUR REPLY!

GET HELP/DON'T GET HELP. I REALLY DON'T CARE. JUST MOVE ON.

Neil, as usual you thought something was about YOU that wasn't. When I
wrote "I actually have WORK to do" I was poking fun at ME. You know me.
You know my "self under-employment" work hours are minimal, to say the
least. I meant that I actually had some work to do that morning! (Gee,
sort of what it says, isn't it?) NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU, NEIL.

To re-cap. Months had gone by with no "contact" between us. Hell, I
thought maybe you'd moved or something (a real heart-breaker, that would
be). Then you posted that rather obscure reference in the "pot thread" and
a few people engaged you on it. Not I (although I admit I Googled trying to
find the "study" you cited, but no go). One poster asked you for a
reference and you didn't reply for a few days, so I posted a little "blowing
tumbleweed" remark THINKING YOU STILL HAD ME PLONKED and wouldn't even see
it (first-hand, anyway). Almost instantly you replied (to the poster) with
some long-winded thing or another.

Then Bob wrote something about pot smokers being impaired, and I referenced
your post WITHOUT USING YOUR NAME OR OTHERWISE IDENTIFYING YOU, and next
thing you know I'm getting page-long whiny e-mails from you (saying that *I*
should move on! LOL).

I'll clue you in on something, Neil. No one else on here cares about this.
No one else on here even picks up on a subtle jab, yet you reply with
PERSONAL, CURSE-LADEN FLAMES and then have the temerity to accuse me of
being unbalanced.

You also wrote that I "have no friends" on here, and threatened to team up
with your fellow lefty ideologues to ridicule me mercilessly (like they
don't already 🙂. I haven't made THAT one public yet. I'll have you know
that I correspond regularly with a number of regulars on here -- an not just
"conservatives", either. You admitted to being a bully before ("I'm not
JUST an intellectual bully -- I have about two-score IQ points on you"😉, so
why would you need your pals from the peanut gallery to pile on? Typical
bully behavior.

You e-mailed a tirade to me, and then concluded with {quote}

If you can't see the hypocrisy and basic dishonesty in that tactic, then
you're in denial and perhaps YOU need help.

This has taken up WAY too much time last few days. I *did* block your
e-mail so I won't be subjected to any more of those unwelcomed and unfair
intrusions. I'll try to refrain from EVER daring to notice or comment on
ANYTHING you ever write or reference ever again, no matter how ridiculous or
hypocritical it might be. If I slip up and make a REALLY subtle poke at
you, then be sure to post a crude, invective-laced personal (but
unfounded -- esp. with the booze thing) attack on me. It's REAL balanced
and shows just how obsessed *I* really am.

Take care (preferably elsewhere),

OK, I have to admit... That was GOOD.

Nah. Show's over. (Although I am itching to answer that long private

done, however.)

Don't worry, Bill. I'll be back flaming YOU before ya know it 🙂

True.

If these posts were actually written by the two of you and not by some
person masquerading, I have the following words of free advice, worth every
penny.

I apologize that one of the words that follow is longer than one syllable.

Just
don't

way.
Let
it

Reassess
