@Arkturos saidThis one post says far more about you than it does about me.
Only Russ would have the stats the verify this, but I'm sure the ratio of my replies to Suzi's posts is much lower than the ratio of her replies to my posts.
But a recent insight I have had is that maybe she enjoys conversing with me (although she comes across as a latch-key kid who only had sarcastic sitcoms for parents -- and if that is really the case, then of course s ...[text shortened]... like flirting or might result in a silence interpreted as a loss of interest, shunning, or ghosting.
@Arkturos saidSuzianne @ Ghost are two different people I don't find then alike really, Suzianne needs no protection from anyone, she can look after herself and hold her own against anyone on the Site, in my opinion.
@Rusty -- I wonder if Ghost is jealous of Suzianne, and might feel I am somehow stealing her away from the perhaps insulting and disrespectful shadow of his masculine protection (such as it is) and white-knighting just because I reply to some of her correspondence from time to time.

@Very-Rusty saidI agree, and Suzi seems to hold her own by taking on all comers and driving everyone away with her prickly personality. I wonder how many poor souls she will demolish when she goes into clinical practice.

Maybe she has talents for code-switching, diplomacy, and compassion that have never seemed to be on display here?
I would also agree that Ghost is his own person, but I have noticed that he tends to side with her more often than he upbraids her for her rough etiquette and surprising manners (which seems to be never).

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidJust imagine a ghost calling someone else weak and thin-skinned (let alone creepy).
Weak.
Have you always been so thin skinned?
P.S. -- I would prefer "spooky" rather than "creepy" -- if people can declare their third-person pronoun preferences, then why not declare descriptive-adjective preferences?
Looking forward to your considerate respect for my adjectival preference.

@Suzianne saidI'll add that when you are not copy-pasting other people's opinion pieces, on your own you seem prone to posting vague, low-effort replies of few words -- which comes across as passive-aggressive.
This one post says far more about you than it does about me.
Of course I wouldn't expect any kind of thanks -- just sharing this observation because who else here would dare to point that out to you?
Hoping that helps. 😉

@Very-Rusty
They've damaged me, Rusty. They have polluted and corrupted my soul, and I am becoming more and more like them.
@Arkturos saidNo, definitely creepy.

@Suzianne saidPlease stop stalking me, if only for your own sake.

There are surveillance cams everywhere these days.
It's interesting that you should say such a thing to someone who has been an outsider all his life.
What are you trying to do? Drive me to suicide?
Edit: However, if you are some kind of Heyoka who is prone to say the opposite of what they really think, maybe try saying the opposite of that.

You stalk me FAR more. And have been for your entire time here. And you won't stop come hell or high water. Given your passion for attacking me, you won't stop even after multiple bans. You should re-evaluate your need to attack me even when I am not talking to you in the first place. Just stop.

As I mentioned before, whatever traumas you have experienced do not give you the right to treat others badly.
If this is some kind of transference or projection exercise related to your training as a counselor -- I have never given my consent to that, and the compensation has been rather poor.

Sorry @Ghost-of-a-Duke -- from nursery rhymes to an unexpected counseling session in just a few pages.
