Well, since this thread has already be de-railed....
So, that's what it took to finally get you to speak to me directly, for the first time in 16 months.
I've certainly been nicer to you than you've been to me -- I'm not sure why you started going after me in Spring 2016, targeting my posts and nearly every point I'd ever made, and you did so with impressive focus as if we'd just had a fight or a falling out (which we had not, though you later led others to believe that that had occurred).
Your timeline is a little off. I did target your posts, but that was in the summer of 2016, primarily in July, weeks
after you pushed the ignore button in mid May (4 months before the crash) following our argument over Jason Colby (of all the inanities to have an argument over).
I must have had heated arguments with almost everyone on this board (alexis, Gatsbyesque, Sid/BD, all the right-wingers, the list goes on), to think there was something personal about that one is nonsense. Yet you sent me a PM that weekend asking me why I was angry with you. I said I wasn't and apologized in case I came across that way. And how did you respond? By not responding at all and instantly putting me on ignore.
Respect for my posts, your behind. Your ego simply couldn't take that someone whose postings you had previously praised had the nerve to oppose you. And on the very sensitive issue of your beloved final season of 'that old show' you've spent 30 years highlighting.
I was initially shocked and hurt you did that. So that gave way to sadness, because I had always loved and valued your wit and eloquence and anticipated your posts with excitement. Sadly, the sadness ultimately turned to anger, hence my explicit attacks in July, later that fall and last Sunday in this thread. That doesn't excuse my behavior, but that's how and why it happened.
And then the site crashed and died. Once it was revived, you were back talking about me again, even though I'd given you no response for 6 months, suggesting it was time for me to move along with my "40,000 lost posts."
Hehehe... I did say that. That was one of those moments when I was angry over your ignoring me and wanted to hurt you. Sorry about that.
And while you were busy frenetically networking and schmoozing and trying to play the nice guy, you were the one posting on soapchat links to my various accounts around the Internet when you couldn't get my attention (which the admins had to take down) or elicit a response from me.
Then, later, you "apologized" after you'd received backlash from some posters, conceding that you'd been "mean" to me, and your claiming you "have these batshit crazy moments" when you "get unhinged." But of course I wasn't inclined to take that obvious bait -- at least not until another year later, and so here we are: Stanley and Blanche. With Stanley now claiming he's been driven off the site like so many other victims.
As wrong as you are on this whole 'sociopath' & 'twisted game for no reason' nonsense you concocted in your head as well as putting quote marks on my apology alleging it being disingenuous and only prompted by a backlash, I have to admit I like how you gave me calculated method and consistency, when there was none. I'd actually rather you think
that than the more embarrassing truth of a spurned fellow poster incoherently switching between lashing out and genuinely being sad and apologetic.
I still see nothing wrong with posting your links from elsewhere on the web, as I said to Ome. It was publicly available content for everyone to see online, it's not like I posted your address or private telephone number. And I did so, because I feared we had lost you after the crash, like the wonderful Crimson, and genuinely wanted others to continue following your thoughts, especially after nuDynasty was announced. But you've made up your mind about me, so it's pointless now for me to try to convince you otherwise.
Sociopath?? I'm "projecting" that, am I? Well, you're sure somethin' not so great -- your charm and ubiquitous manipulation not withstanding.
Well, you must've got that somewhere. You are however right about my having a mental disorder, I do have to give you that. But you got your S wrong. I am schizoid, not a sociopath. Certain common traits aside, it's quite the polar opposite. Most importantly, I don't take pleasure in hurting people.
Regardless, I got you to speak to me again, after you had cut me off so abruptly, so I'm content now. I will not be bothering you again.
So long.
