Really, Toph, I don't know what to think at this point. I really felt hurt and betrayed when -- given the degree that I'd opened up to you in my prior posts -- it turned out I'd been played. And your explanation to Dr. Bob only made it worse for me. I'm not interested in being permanently p*ssed off at anyone on this site -- Dr. Bob included. But since yesterday I've stepped back and begun to put this exchange in the context of our previous exchanges. Most have consisted of me making a snarky remark about some PB policy or Dr. Bob, and then you posting to me with a smart-*ss remark of your own, as if to egg me on further. And then I think about the way you posted questions here that involved my attitude toward Bob. Seen from my point of view, it sort of appears that -- whether consciously or not -- you've been trying to instigate or escalate conflict between Dr. Bob and myself while you stood by and watched. I have to wonder at this point if there's any validity to this theoretical pathology or not. I feel foolish for being manipulated so easily if this is the case. But these really are questions you have to ask yourself. What are you playing at? And why? I'm left with a lot of questions about your conduct. I'm not going to hold a grudge, but, you're right, I can't help but look at least a bit askance at future posts from you and wonder what's really going through your head. Atticus
