Thoughtful post, Fred.
But I fail to see the point in your advice “For those of you who do not know the whole story, I suggest you read the posts on the old ttbrown.com/forum AND the unfinished book Defying Gravity before you pass judgement or share your 'impressions' with others”.
I’ve shared “impressions”, opinions and surely once or twice my unsound “judgment”, not to mention having mentioned my ignorance of “the whole story”, so no wonder that advice fell, so to speak, at my doorstep.
But do you really think I would learn anything I don’t already know if I did as you advise ? besides trivia and personal stuff, I mean ?
For the “whole story” is very evident – a paranoid person with a manic craving for attention and a soul shorted by love and indifference webbed a net where a lot of people got stuck. Some for a little time, some for a long time, all of them for some time. Having perceived it, most crawled under a rock, for whichever reasons, and a very few didn’t. In that process, people got hurt, friends were estranged and acquaintances were lost. Few years went by, and also for whichever reasons, some of the above persons formerly stuck and/or crawled under decided it was high time to set records straight and so rejoined with those very few who hadn’t let go of the affair but instead had wanted it seen through, and unmasked.
I mean,
Do you think any more is needed to know ? Or do you expect that if boring minutiae is known, a different perception than the above stated may be reached ?
Tell you what, Fred
From where I stand, if I did what you advise I would only, perhaps, be knowing, or understanding what made you – everyone of you – fall for it.
Because I believe in very mundane things and reasons when it comes to illusions accepted as truth. I deal with that daily in my profession, so I’m used to hear a lot of “whole stories” such as this one.
Except for the boring details, or the specific case of personality disorder that gave it birth and make this one single.
Again,
So many people with so much to say and discuss about so many interesting, valid and little known facts and “science”, should – in my modest opinion – put this thing at rest so that they may move forward, and by doing that really be doing something meaningful and helpful to others no so blessed but eager to learn from them, and not only doing something meaningful only to themselves.
But unfinished fights have a unique staying power. I also know that.
That is why I only wish you all finish it.
And that’s all my “impressions” are all about, FWIW.
So, that said, how about pulling some monkeys into this circus, Fred ?
Or do you still think the other one needs discussing ?
