This is true ,However there is the situation where the page is trampled on so often and so insistently by the self involved regardless of attention that it spills across boarders and shows up far from home. I feel like I am being followed by a bad odor. No offense intended my friend but for all who have been in the arena of that individual (we who recognize the subject) I would gently request allowing that spirit to remain in the yard. I hope that we can have real conversations and good friendships here. I fully understand the feelings being expressed, I have also shared mine ,and relies that I also brought the subject into the light here . If it would have been simple as just ignoring I would have been glad to do just that ,unfortunatly some noise is to loud to ignore so It was time to move. Sad to miss old friends but we can be found if they look.

ah, but here is the beauty, though they don't go away, without the acknowledgement they seek, they grow frustrated. that above all is the narcissists worst nightmare, no attention. always play the game by your own rules, never by his.

Yes sir , but I get silenced and can not participate ...hum

[Brian mclaughlin]

so in truth, you win. the narcissist has become insecure and threatened and has his friends hide him from any further harm being dealt to his ego.

ever hear the saying that the best revenge is to sit and do absolutely nothing? the wait on the first party can become more bothersome than the direct attack. not always but more often than not with the attention seekers it denies them their goal.

Yes sir , but when I post something or some one else posts something then the door swings open and a troop of nonsense marches in and commences to argue and fuss about any, and every, thing. That it is allowed, is the subject , that it is tolerated is how it rules. If no one responded ever maybe . The situation seems to me to be a players game , I see it as such , It is a strange personality we are dealing with but it is not handled well , why you and I are shut down but this clown can continue? is the issue , so I have simply had enough, peace makers in this world need to be able to shout down bullies , period. this person we speak of is a sanctioned bully.( yes I say that) Could I shut him up ?would I? yes. Why? because hate baiters need to be sent to their room for time out .. but my hands are tied .

....and so it goes

I've said it before and it bears repeating: AT is not a real "poetry" site. It's a power thing. The moderator is in charge and loves to let other folks know they he is in charge. They abuse women there, stifle any real creativity, and in all likelihood he and the other Monster are neighbors living in the same building and share porn.

To give either of them the silent treatment is worthless simply b/c they don't care. They're not poets. They're snobs and neither of them has the social skills of a caged monkey.

They are not narcissists. They are abusers and enablers.
