Quote from max401:
You lay RS7's problems at my feet? Your logic is just as bad as his. I'll engage in repartee with anybody on the planet and if you want to make up stories, it's my perogative to call you on it. Then if you want to make a series of defensive, whiney, abusive and inflammatory posts replete with name calling and personal attacks, be my guest, by all means!
But don't come crying after the fact that mean ol' max "could have ignored the whole thing." You open your big mouth, expect any consequences that come your way. You don't want a post that pops your bubble of self-glorification, then hell, answer in a factual and argumentative manner. I'm not the one bitching and moaning. You ever hear me complain and cry about an RS7 post about me. Hell no!
1. Did you have to respond to RS7? No.
2. Did you have to have someone else post your thoughts? No. Unless you wanted others to see your thoughts, you could have PMed him. Why would you want others to see your thoughts if it was not partially about you?
You would also know that RS7, despite his claims to have you on ignore, would be reading your posts as others respond.
You are as much involved in the dance with RS7 as he is. You have your own insanity that is obvious to most logical and rational people in your obsession with him. Your denial of it only makes it appear more stalkeresque.
At a minimum, RS7 admits he may be mentally ill for his dance with you, however, you place all the blame on him.
You could simply ignore the whole thing, but you make a decision to continue to engage with him.
This is as much as about you, your need to respond, your need to defend yourself as it is as about RS7.
Those who are engaged in a relationship of any kind on an ongoing basis share blame for what is wrong with that relationship, as long as the relationship is voluntary. If anyone continues with a sicko, yet claim to be healthy, they are sick too.
If RS7 is indeed a sicko, etc., what does that have to do with your obsession with him anyway?
How many times to you need to prove someone a pathological liar anyway?
RS7 isn't selling a product or service, isn't recruiting people for any projects, etc. There are no potential buyers to defend. He is just someone who likes to tell irrelevant stories, true or false.
He is about as innocuous as they come.
