"What is wrong with you? You can't take "no" for an answer? Or you can't let this thing just die. You are really that obsessed?"
You are asking what is wrong with him? You started this thread.
From all I can see, you missed him and the sick fucking dance you two do together, so you baited him, seduced him.
Entrapment.
Art. You would appear to be correct. However, if you read the first two posts in this thread, perhaps you can see this from a different angle.
As I mentioned, I had noticed Max slandering me, mocking me, and generally doing his best to take every opportunity to say something nasty about me on threads in which I wasn't even involved.
So I thought giving him a specific place devoted to him as an outlet for his obsession with me would be a good thing for everybody.
Good for Max so he wouldn't have to "lurk" waiting for me to post. For everyone else who's threads he tried to hijack and make them about his stalking of me. And for me too, so I would know where I was being harassed. (Obviously I was hoping for too much...Max was not able to constrain himself to one thread).
But the fact was that at the time I was truly sickened by his constant proclivity to bust on me in any thread at any time. Whether I was involved in the discussion or not. It made no difference to Max. If Max made a post, my name had to come up.
Now you may see this as perfectly acceptable behavior. I don't believe you do, but I don't have a way of knowing what you really think.
But I don't see it as normal behavior.
I am very bored with this now.. I could easily find some Max posts that came out of nowhere just to be abusive towards me. But it isnât necessary. We have all seen this.
I felt entitled to bring it to the attention of the ET people that I was not pleased with Max's compulsions. No one wants to be called a liar or anything else behind their back. And no one should be subjected to having Max just pop into every thread with no substance ....just little remarks about me. Cowardly remarks made in threads I was not involved in.
I felt I had the right to bring this issue to light. I still think I did the right thing. I wanted only to end this âsick danceâ. But I knew it was never going to die by attrition. I tried that for too long. Ignoring him made him salivate over time until he just couldn't hold it back any more. Even in THIS VERY THREAD, it sat idle for a month. Then Max had to rekindle it. Which was a good thing. Better here than in some other thread.
With Max it's always just a matter of time. So why not give him a forum for when his pent up venom needs to be released?
Peace,
