Good to hear though that you consider Kevin a troll and do not support making disturbed posts about suicide.
Wow! So controlling!

Also, have you ever considered running for political office?

@Ghost,
Here an idea if you don't want Kevin responding to your threads, then don't respond to his!! Simple right?

You just end up winding him up and making things worst not better!!

Rusty, I hope you might have noticed I'm not so easily wound-up these days.

Although I don't consider Ghost to be a gaslighter per se, he does seem to display some similarly manipulative tactics (wittingly or not), therefore I'm generally attempting to use the same mindset and approaches that some advise for those dealing with a gaslighter when it comes to engagement or disengagement with him.

She didn't ignore it. She responded in the thread concerned and shared my disgust. (The post received multiple alerts, including from myself).
Fact-check:
a) Suzi did not share your disgust in her response.
b) The post received two alerts.

You speak of kindness while yourself making disgusting posts about suicide.

What's wrong with you?
"disgusting"?

"posts"?

And as for the question and the way you asked, I doubt that you really wanted to know.

That did come across as bullying and controlling rather than a sincere attempt to understand.

I wonder if I might inadvertently be helping you to work through some stuff of your own.

And I would also say (pace the former divegeester and the late FMF) that I have seemed to be responding to both you and Suzi in a way similar to their responses back in the day, with no intentional attempt at emulation -- so maybe that is something to consider.

Why are you still playing at Man-Matron-Paladin in defense of Suzi, if she is fully capable of defending herself?

And the post that I have deleted myself essentially asked: If that had occurred, then why behave so subsequently. Do you see?

For Suzi's sake, I will say this: I can understand the attraction to beautiful sad people and the wish to help them be less sad, bu ...[text shortened]... nder in the way you present yourself on this forum, instead of resorting to stale sitcom quippiness?
It was an episode from my life that you shouldn't have attempted to sully with your cheap shots.

Stay out of my face.

A mature, variant reply could have been:

1) "No -- in retrospect something like that was probably going to happen anyway, and my involvement had nothing (or at least very little) to do with it."

2) "No! Of course not! Sorry if I came across that way."

And I'll add that from my side it doesn't seem that at any point you or Ghost were sincerely interested to learn what sequence or complex of thoughts on my side might have been involved in my posting those two questions (deleted the next morning, of course -- from morning-after regrets and second-thoughts).

I don't give a damn.

I just want you to stop the harassment.

How can we distinguish between conversation and harassment?

Wouldn't you agree that your chronic insults against me and others might be perceived as harassment rather than just "playful pokes" or whatever?

Says the man who once started a club here primarily to exclude Rusty.

And notice how he says "people" to vaguely drag in putative others, the same way he seems to imply he is some kind of moderator here, not to mention another role which I will mention below.

But maybe we should cut him a slight amount of slack for this reason: I gather he is a Londoner, and without ha ...[text shortened]... and that might be a significant factor in how he expresses himself and how he behaves toward others.
Indeed Kevin!

I had entirely forgotten he started a club to exclude me from. Probably why he allowed me in Ghost Chamber. Only thing good from that was I learned a little bit more about chess with all the good players in that club. Then he dissolves the Club, people must have been getting along to well for his liking. πŸ˜‰

@Kevin,

Yes, I have noticed you are not as easily wound up as you once were my friend. @Ghost must believe he has special privilege's for reasons only he would know. πŸ˜‰

You have been holding your own against him a few thumbs down from his minions don't mean anything. People are starting to see him as a bully. I have known that for a long time now. πŸ˜‰

The way I see it it takes two people to make a confrontation, one person can NOT do it alone. If you can't get along don't bother with the other person, we all know what I am talking about. Everyone is here for a reason to socialize or play chess or a little of both. All an argument does is go on for ever and ever. Diver and myself know all about that!!!

Regarding the thumbs-down, this is how I see them:

1: probably Suzi
2: probably Suzi and Ghost
3: means I should implode psychologically and try to cry myself to sleep with no hope for the morrow
4 or more: Ghost has coerced his minions into action

I agree with what you said at the start, and as for the rest it was quite a surprise for me to learn from this site that some people enjoy endless bickering.

I'm not in your face. I'm sitting in my house halfway across the country.

May I advise that you don't share such matters publicly on the internet?
