Nobody here is saying you can't talk to this person or that one, and if they do YOU ARE AN ADULT, make up your own damn mind. It is when you stab your friends in the BACK and do things that are detrimental to THEM when you run into problems.
But whatever your feelings, they are yours and you have expressed them, though i think the OPEN forum or Psych Bench would have been more appropriate.

I apologize to all in advance for adding to this thread on Breeder's as I agree it is better suited to Open or elsewhere. PD, I know you may feel like emailing me with a new email account of your own was doing me a favor. I need to address a couple of things. First, your hypotheses are far off the mark, so much so that I think maybe you could write for the Lifetime Channel as a better use of your time. Secondly, I have been cordial to you. But, what I see lately is the biggest case or projection I think I have ever witnessed. It is YOU who acts like you have a vendetta any time someone dares to disagree with your opinion. Third, you had to stalk two of my websites to come up with my other email address. (That's right folks; she has gone so far on this latest bout as to do this...) The IP's from my sites and from those two emails match. I have reported this to the Mod - as well as the fact that she is behind or at least involved with at least one of our recent trolls here. Same misconceptions; same IP.
PD, I will ask here that you cease emailing me. I wish you well truly, but have to say I hope you will stop using others as diversions from finding better self-esteem. I choose not to be around the negativity. I agree with SRT - we are all adults. No one makes anyone do anything... and in the end, the most important thing is that a person likes and respects his or her self.
From wikipedia.com:
* "Projection is the opposite defence mechanism to identification. We project our own unpleasant feelings onto someone else and blame them for having thoughts that we really have."
* "A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept. It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."
* "Attributing one's own undesirable traits to other people or agencies."
* "The individual perceives in others the motive he denies having himself. Thus the cheat is sure that everyone else is dishonest."
* "An individual who possesses malicious characteristics, but who is unwilling to perceive himself as an antagonist, convinces himself that his opponent feels and would act the same way."
