I'm sorry if I've missed an explanation from you on the subject, but what are you looking for on this forum?
The kind of attention you’re bringing yourself isn’t what I would call “friendlyâ€â€¦especially here. The context of everyone’s posts is very dim and often unsettling. You seem to have compassion for people, that’s sweet, but if you really want to be his friend then you wouldn’t be so kind to him. Jay isn’t that type of person, if you’re nice to him he’s just going to exploit that and leave you wanting for more (assuming he wants to string you along). But he’s an asshole, funny, sick and twisted, and he’s interesting topic…all the things that make entertainment in my book.
My advice to you Legga is not to ask questions, not to thank people (on this forum), and to simply observe the behavior of all us animals. There’s a saying I like to follow and I’ve always felt it to be true…God gave us two ears and one mouth so that we may listen more and speak less. Any true sociopath knows this, it may not have come from a saying like that but they know that talking too much can lead to slip ups and eventually being flagged…and once your flagged the jigs up.
That is my sociopath lesson for the day.
Hey, thanks for the replies
So I had some time to think about some of the posts. I haven't found the quote button yet so I'm doing the quotes in plain text mode.
"You seem to have compassion for people, that’s sweet, but if you really want to be his friend then you wouldn’t be so kind to him."
It never hurts to have manners. I doubt people will be offended, at least, although they might get bored. I can live with that.
"why should he?"
"Legga, it doesn’t matter what Jay says…it’s an allegory. YOU decide how it’s applied, not anyone else. I was using the whole idiot thing as an example…"
The reason I think people should care about what the original poster writes is to avoid any derailing from the subject and to clear any misunderstandings or misconceptions people might have. For example, the original post in this topic is very short which is why people might interpret it differently. Some people might interpret it as an advice to pay more attention to people's emotions, someone else might interpret it as an advice to question people's honesty. Some might even take it as a jest to bait people into flaming wars. Without confirming the original poster's view on the matter people won't be able to clear their possible misconceptions.

But you were expecting replies.
