Scott that is nice of you to post this to me. Could you seriously help to find out what happened to taste and smell? Each night after eating I get depressed. Keep food away from me and feel normal. I do fear Alzheimers.
Changing course have you ever considered web design to do at home? You have a talent for you. I remember your original website. Lots of great information. From now on I will be officially PJ

You can't blame the whale for getting pissed.

What do you make of Scott's relentless pursuit of Lou across the boards of Babble through the years?

Nice try.
I confront Lou Pilder's words. I never once berated the person. Over the years, I have made it quite clear to Lou that I liked him. Did you ever manage to come across my posts to Lou telling him that in your continuous, vigilant, and faithful monitoring of Psycho-Babble?
I feel berated by you.

>>I feel berated by you.
<sigh>
Yeah, me too, if it's any consolation. Not that it would be. Better if there were no beratees (word?? it is now ;-) )to commiserate.
How about no one berates anyone, and if they do (after all, we **all** slip up, lose our tempers, etc.), they are firmly reminded to swerve back on the road and follow the signs by Dr. Bob? Oh, wait, we've been there and done that and apparently that is deemed a lousy model.
I like Lou as well. I will never forget him offering to shelter people after Hurricane Katrina. Or having fun on Social with music. Or trying to open his Little Shoppe way back when... I also think he deeply believes in what he does here. To me, that's divorced from his behavioral choices. No community can endorse repeated violations of accepted rules just because someone says, "...but I really, really, really am trying to help you by accusing and putting down." It's nonsensical to me.
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20131217/msgs/1057387.htmlYou are not Mr. Dick, just as I am not part of nor do I condone lynching or lynch mobs. But if you're Moby, you seem to be trying to protect and/or defend your environment, which makes sense.
I wonder how people (usually of color) whose ancestors actually were victims of real lynching feel about this sort of hyberbole? Such a horrific thing to invoke... In my "self-righteousness," I asked and still ask for accusations against deputies and others to stop. Is that equal to whipping up a mob to pursue murder against a person whose skin color differs from mine? I guess now it's implied I'm not only an anti-semite and fosterer of such, but a violent racist, too.
Is HC a person of color? Is HC a hurting woman or man? If HC isn't a psycho and doesn't Babble, what was the attraction to PB the first time? Does HC want to hang out here in peace and harmony and get to know more posters? Is is possible HC jumps to conclusions about other posters' values?
I think all cygnets I've ever seen are adorable, and even if someone said they were "homely" I probably wouldn't agree, at least not if that is supposed to a a "bad" thing. Most newborn babies are homely - and my reaction is: so what?
I just don't understand the agenda.

Berated is not a feeling, it is an accusation that I am berating you. That is not true. Please do not use feeling language to conceal accusations against others. I feel hurt and dismayed and misunderstood.

I'd say "us", not "you", and maybe we're finding a way. I think you and I are, at least.

I see what happened.
After reviewing and pondering some of these threads last night, I came to the conclusion that my presentation could be better balanced.

I wish your FB and Twitter buttons were on. :-)
Because I think that happens a lot in life. People make you their whale without asking. It can have its downsides, but in a way it's pretty cool.

I feel like I am being stalked by creepy obsessive guy screaming I'm a big white whale and Captain Ahab is after me. Surely you realize what his is doing. It's pathetic. I want nothing to do with him. I do not want to be his "captain ahab" or anything else. Maybe it's time for a babble restraining order against him? Or you could block me?

>>Berated is not a feeling, it is an accusation that I am berating you.
Absolutely correct. You got me there. I wasn't paying attention. I've noticed I'm rusty in my civility - here anyway - and I think it's from lack of practice. Erosion...apathy...ah...never mind - I digress.
Sorry about that. What I meant to say and should have said was exactly what you said: "I feel hurt and dismayed and misunderstood."
But I would have to add pissed off, too. Can that be a feeling? Just a crude form of anger? I think so.
>>That is not true.
I disagree. If it means harsh criticism, anyway. That seems accurate.
Buckets of that to go around.

Hi Lou.
Yes. That was pretty bad. I was quite angry. I should have apologized for it immediately. I won't make excuses. So...
I am sorry.
I am sure you could pluck out older posts in which I was mean to you. My treatment of you has evolved over time, and I have defended you as a person more often than I have berated you.
