Appropriate Communication for a Spirituality Forum

You were Grampy Bobby's friend until you weren't. You were robbie carrobie's friend until you weren't. Do you really not know what the expression "fair weather friend" means?

You always get the Robbie thing back to front. (For convenience I guess). For the first couple of years on the site, he had me on ignore and we clashed continually in this forum). It was only later we got on better after playing a few games and parted as friends.

Pete is a splendid fellow. Happy to have him as a friend.

A few weeks ago you would have been contributing to a thread called petewxyzwatch, especially after a car crash thread like the one on "true atheists", and after an OP like this one, just as you were contributing to KellyJaywatch, and TomWolseywatch and Suziannewatch etc. etc..

I have always been consistent in defending those I consider friends. I am surprised you haven't realized that.

Why are you going after me on this thread when all I have done is apply the same insights and standards to petewxyz as I have done to any and all for as long as you have known me?

When ToO is defeated in a debate he always links back to a thread years ago when I took Kelly's side against Robbie. (I said something along the lines of 'as a neutral observer kelly has won this argument). So was the way of things back then. Robbie had me on permanent ignore.

I can only assume you are befuddling him with GB.

I've noticed that you defend certain people and then you don't. I see consistency there. Do you really not know what "fair weather friends" means?

Pete held his hands up to a badly written sentence and took the time to clarify what he meant. Perhaps I am surprised by the way you reacted to that.

Of course I know. it simply doesn't apply to me.

But you have known me for years. The thread was a car crash. petewxyz was making a pompous fool of himself over and over again on almost every page. If it had been KellyJay you'd have been 'congratulating' me in private like you used to.

Forming allegiances is how the forums work, and yes, sometimes allegiances change.

You have a track record, surely, of turning your back on friends in this little part of cyberspace.

They change with the weather, so to speak.
