I made a pact with myself not to get tangled up in these postings because it's pointless and counterproductive. And I wasnt around when the Norm shit storm hit, so it is really none of my business.

You people befuddle me.

First, Norm, I cant understand why you are so drawn to this group, when every time you make an appearance you are blasted to smithereens. Why do you keep putting up with this shit? What kind of reinforcement are you getting that keeps bringing you back? The average person, after being treated this way, would get tired of the abuse and go find someone else to play with. Why is this group of people so important to you? You know what kind of reaction you're going to get from this group and you keep coming back for more. It's irrational and self destructive. I'm not your therapist. I dont know your diagnosis, I dont know your meds or history. I dont care. I dont care about your past. I dont care if your psychotic or suicidal. But when I see someone acting the way you do, continually creating problems for yourself, well, it makes me want to slap you. I can understand everyone's frustration with you because you invite this kind of response.

Now everyone else- You're acting just as irrational. If you want something to go away, and you KNOW that taunts and abuse only serve to reinforce the behavior (not diminish it) why, oh why do you continue doing more of the same? isn't that Einstein's definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? You guys are just as caught up in this crap as Norm is.
The same twisty, sick cycle, over and over again.
