There's this woman who's internet handle is 'The Oracle' who comments in the comment section of this crazy guys blog. She regularly brings up "gaslighting" and she always comments on her own comments. If a blog post gets a hundred comments she may be responsible for 60 of them. It's this thing were she makes an initial comment and then soon follows up on that, commenting on her comment, and then soon after comments on the comment of the comment, and so it goes, on and on and on and on, until it gets to the point that she can't comment on her comments anymore because each one gets indented and she runs out of room. Then she starts another comment just below and the cycle continues. In her own way she's famous for her posts with the people in that community. People post about her posting habits and how that it's all but impossible to actually read them all (the way through). I haven't been on that site in forever, but I never bothered even trying to read them. She does have decent grammar though and knows how to punctuate a sentence and use paragraphs - so she's got that going for her. Strange coincidence or synchronicity? Here's a sample I Googled. markrathbun.blog/2016/07/19/you-may-be-right/Learn b4 u leap- educate yourself heres the international leading authority on gas lighting: www.drgeorgesimon.com/covert-aggression-causes-gaslighting/I wasn't talking about the specifics of gaslighting, just the strange coincidence that there's someone who makes repeated comments on her own comments until she fills the majority of the page with her comments directed at her own previous comments, and how part of that is her often posting about gaslighting. I was just tripping on the coinkdink of it all, not commenting on the subject of gaslighting. Say hi to Phil for me when you see him. He was one of my favorite Grateful Deads, along with Jer, Bobby, Billy, Keith, Mickey, and of course, Pig.

-I didn't mean to insinuate that you were. The nit picking & obsessiveness due to u guys spending every day all day seeking to connect thru this board from inside your isolation& boredom due to your incompatibility w your physical location's community around U(immediate geographical location surrounding u, the type if culture surrounding u..) Its like watching one of those "big brother, jersey shore, rehab house" type shows& the interactions& petty judgementalism, all that crap we see on shows like that... That's just like u guys. U r all each other has. Please, don't play stupid holier than thou games, hypersensitivity games, denying others legit hurt from your unreasonably harsh behavior towards those weaker than u games, control freak games, gas-lighting games, emotional manipulation games, fragile ego games, its all in here& all very easy to see.... & hard to watch! And yet you can't stop watching Gotcha !

I didn't start posting on this forum until I had permanently moved to a country where the overwhelming majority of the people I know don't speak English, few people talk about American culture, and even less (read: zero) talk about jambands. This place is my steady connection with American culture, esp. the type of culture and the type of Americans I like. (I did meet a new expat friend from Arcata who's parents are old time hippies and lived on communes, but dude kind of went the opposite direction. He's aware of the Dead, etc.., but he's more into Pavement, Guided By Voices, stuff like that).
I like about 99% of the people on this forum. If I didn't, or I disdained as many as you do, Andrea, I wouldn't bother reading this forum at all. No way would I post on this forum, and no fucking way on Earth would I waste my time going to the Apple store to bother reading or posting on a forum where I judged and disliked just about everyone. But that's me. Obviously your mileage varies.
Now sign off and get to that doctor's appointment, young lady. You don't want to be late, or even miss something important like that on the account of this shithole. Hope it works out for you and that you have a great time at Phil.

I never said anything at all about the specifics of gaslighting. I just mentioned that there's another person on the internet who posts comments about her comments, ad infinitum, and often talks about gaslighting in her copious comments to herself. I have no credentials on gaslighting, nor am I an expert on the subject. Never said I was. Sheesh.

I'd like to suggest going to free Phil shows& enjoying time w your community that shares your cultural values, as an alternative to going online every day& spending part of every day online thus picking on people or defending yourself when they pick on u.
Going to interact in positive ways at social gatherings and such worjs for me.
U don't see me on here nearly every day bickering w people, defending things I say when someone says I'm being offensive.
I go on here once twice a month. The rest of the time I'm interacting w like minded community surrounding me.
I don't need to come on here for daily social interaction, esp social interaction that's including gas lighting, defending myself when I've been ofensive, or being overly sensitively offended by petty stuff

But u go on& have fun w all that. I've got stuff to do that makes a positive vibration instead. U might wanna try it as an alternative to makibg neg. vibes on here
I'm just sayin....
& again, what specifically is it that makes U more of an expert on this kind of behavior than Dr. Simon?
& what exactly is it in yourself that when someone points out a very obvious& relavent observation of your behavior that u r totally 100% blind to your own behavior/actions/motivations/interactions w others?
I feel dreadfully sorry for those forced to deal w u day in, day out
Poor people...
Hope u get it someday!

I bet u spend a considerable amount of time drunk trying to escape the reality of your head& the actions it compels u to take, trying to drown out the truths w drunkenness& hide yourself from your own self. Denial. Its what's for dinner apparently every day in the life of U :-(

I don't think you read my posts that often. Other than lork's opinions, who do you think I'm picking on?
I see plenty of free shows. Seen plenty of Phil solo shows and with tGD in my time. That's not the only thing in life that interests me both now and in the past. Couldn't see myself basing my life around Phil shows at this point in my life (and his) like I have in the past, but I don't have negative opinions of anyone who does. I kind of dig the enthusiasm shown by young people for things Dead related. Poor kids. You can tell they feel they were born too late.
For someone who comes here to complain about people, you sure do complain about people a lot. Probably way more than anyone else here. A few people here have one, maybe two, people they are at times adversarial with, but you seem to be adversarial against just about everybody at one time or another.
Whatever. You be you. I'll be me. I'm really not all that concerned with how you or others get your cultural rocks off so you scratch your cultural itch the way you see best and I'll do the same.
Now do like you said you were going to do an hour or so ago, sign off, and get to that doctor's appointment!

Drunk, gaming, buying sh*t to try& make yourself feel good, looking at porn or interacting sexually w others in an unbalanced way, bullying others, gambling, eating or preparing to eat(planning restaurant or eating experiences) in an unbalanced way, doing any of the above in an unbalanced& hyper-seeking, trying to deny your faults, running out of breath in any direction that can make it easier for u to deny& defend your actions as flawless

Denial. Its what's for dinner apparently every day in the life of U :-( I don't really drink and if I do it's no more than a couple of beers or glasses of wine every now and then. Maybe a scotch or two. Since you always get adversarial with just about everyone here, you kind of come off here as the person who might be real cool when sober, but when they drink they start picking fights with people. Just an observation.

Or keep acting the fool Its nothing to me "It's nothing to me" .... yet here you are now. And it seems to be the same song you sing every time you do come here. Must be something to you. It's cool by me if you think really poorly of everyone here, but what does it say about you that you go out of your way to go the Apple Store to post on a forum where you don't like the people? That seems a bigger waste of time than anything you're accusing other people who come of doing. Like returning to a restaurant where you think the food sucks just so you can tell the people that go and actually like the food that they and the restaurant suck. Seems weird to me, but you seem to like doing it, so good for you. Judging by the responses you get, I don't think anyone is really upset that andrea thinks badly of them. The whole thing is kind of interesting psychologically in a weird way. Like spending your time repeatedly going to concerts of a band/fans you hate just to tell them they all suck.
