It is like bad mouthing somebody to others while that person is in the same room. You do it all the time to anyone who comes here with an opinion unlike yours -- and it reinforces an image of you as "leader of the attack pack."
It resembles an insidious, ruthless and cowardly "passive agressive" behavior that is quite well known to the world. Who gave you a "license to trash"? If you have such a passion for attacking me, why not have the guts to do it directly, at least in a thread that I started. Instead, you are appealing to the peanut gallery of your fellow attack squad members as usual.
I realize you love attention, and you love to talk about yourself as loving, full of hope, respect and optimism and as somebody who is "too busy having fun." Is trashing people in the third person your idea of having fun? Seems so. You say you are all these things, yet your posts are full of sarcasm, cynicism, baseless accusations, defensivenss and intolerance. Anyone who has a different opinion or approach than you becomes "nasty" -- now is that kind and loving? Who are you really?
You are the wise one, able to put it all together. Tell me, how should people view you? By only what you say about yourself, or by your actual words, your behavior, your friends? What? How can you justify your rude, back-stabbing ways?
Don't worry about me! Because most of all, I view your behavior as highly immature. I remember a girl in junior high school who was a cliquish, mother-hen type cheerleader (with pom poms) who when she wasn't badmouthing those outside her small group as "weirdos" or "dullards" spent all her time trying to be the most popular girl in the school. Any situation, no matter who was involved at first, she was there, thrusting herself to the center of attention and then cooing at the response; being "nice as pie" to everyone and striving to be teachers' pet.
I am not saying you are like that. I don't know you. I am just saying your behavior reminds me of that girl. Coincidence? I doubt it. Besides, she was just a child and (I assume) you are an adult.
What gives?
