- No such problems at this end. The really big egos belong to the
- narcissists whose world-views are strongly influenced by Rousseau,
- one of the great narcissists of all time. Narcissism is completely
- alien to my way of thinking. What you interpret as narcissism is my
- naive belief that people mean their charges seriously, hence I used to
- take them all seriously.
-
- Lefty has helped me to see the light. What you say
- above, for example, is simply another would-be entry in what I believe
- to be a forthcoming book of insults by him. I told him not to bother
- with putting the original context in, because it would not make any
- difference anyway.
-
- There are still some people whose charges I take seriously, but you
- are not one of them. If for some reason you do want me to take
- something you say seriously, I suggest you apologize for the remarks
- you have made about me in the posts to which I have followed up today.
-
- Otherwise, get someone else to say it for you.
