Originally posted by Grampy BobbySo you said also to me in that strange PM you sent telling me how much you enjoyed some book.

Online forums have the potential of becoming habit forming; I'll be back Monday.

How do you know GB's plans hadn't changed? You're being too presumptuous, not to mention judgemental.

Originally posted by josephwGood grief josephw, read my post to which you said indignantly "everyone has attitudes and behaviours, even you", and you will see that I was talking about similarities in attitudes and behaviours between certain posters. Not whether someone has them or not.
Not a viable answer to the question posed.
Talking to you, and Whodey is hard work.

Now and then I take a recess from one or more or all of these public forums as well as my chess games. Why? To rest and regain my perspective. The intent of all of my Personal Messages is to communicate verbatim information not as a "passive-aggressive jab".

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI didn't have any idea why you PM'd me, no idea why you thought I should read the book and no opportunity to ask you about it as you ignored my PMs despite being active on the site posting elsewhere for 24 hours after I sent them, and not as you claimed, taking a 2 day sabbatical. And now here you are feigning that you don't know what I'm talking about. I just find your behaviour very odd.

Originally posted by divegeesterWhat part of taking "a recess from one or more or all of these public forums" did you not understand? He's probably taking a break from certain unnamed posters as well.
But you we not taking a recess Grampy Bobby, you were posting in other forums for 24 hours after sending me the PM and receiving my replies, which for some reason better known to yourself, you ignored.
Maybe his message was too subtle for you, because you work in a corporate environment where everyone speaks his mind and says exactly what he thinks.
edit: I don't know if that last part needs a honking big flashing sign or not.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyMore than once I've had to ask you to refrain from PM-ing me and, when you went on to PM me anyway, I had to resort to calling you on it publicly. Your response was to suggest I block you. You do play "games", then, it seems. You also lied publicly on this forum about the nature of PMs we'd swapped about my brief lighthearted stint as "Nick Bourbaki". 🙂
No games on this spirituality forum, only on the general forum and chess games. Why? Too much at stake for us all.
