I actually don't like speaking about people when they aren't around to discuss an issue. But, in the case of Cal I will because it's not bitching about him.
Actually, that's why I started this in the free-for-all - cause I ultimately intended it not just to be about Cal, and this way, even those who've deleted their accounts can read it.
Also, I'll likely tell Cal that people are talking about him here, and see how long before his narcissism tempts him to come back and read it.
I do believe his mental health has gone downhill in some ways over the past year, for whatever reasons, whether it was abusing alcohol or lonliness or whatever. And of course, I could be wrong, but that was just the feeling I got and on a personal level, I do feel sad that things went the way that they did. Towards the end I actually avoided interacting with him, after a few discussions where I felt he was drowning in his own murk and didn't really care about anything anymore.
That's funny, I got exactly the opposite impression. What's worse, whining about how you can't die and eternally reliving memories of your relationships with the women you abused, or endless circular provocative flamewars that end up causing your well-deserved defeat?
Cal's circular arguments not only exhausted me, I actually felt if I agreed with someone on a topic, he'd start attacking and it would just kill a valid discussion, so I wouldn't even have the desire to post sometimes.
Hey, that's classic bullying, and a good reason to oppose, but also the traditional excuse of many people who have run from Intensity.
In actual fact, he was trying to create the very thing he accused everyone else of.
Yep.
