Happy Friday. If you ever consider moving again, please come to Minnesota. I could use you as a neighbor. (PS I mean that as high praise.) If it weren’t for the four granddaughters, I’d consider Ireland...
I think you have good taste in sources of info & I like when you share the various sources of info/rabbit holes you’re going down. Your interviews are also always really interesting
Lol Slocum is off his rocker. He has a serious perception of reality problem & he is extremely reactive - this man will flip out & call you a c-nt over almost nothing & you will not even know why lol. I don’t think he is particularly intelligent nor is his judgment remotely good - he sees things as very black & white, & then rationalizes this style of thinking by convincing himself he is some kind of prophet all seeing eye because his mommy had BPD/was mentally ill lol.
I will actually provide an example of how nuts & off this guys mind is. He made a post on Twitter in response to one of these libtard types confronting & lecturing a Trump supporter. He promotes a black & white position regarding these TDS people - because his philosophy is ‘2 wrongs make a right’ - & that you should completely write them off, other them in your mind as ruined cluster B lost souls, have zero tolerance, cut them out of your life - blah blah other black and white Slocum ‘insight’. In the long run, this is incredibly counterproductive - but ok.
Someone asked in the comments ‘how do you respond when women do this’ because it was a lady doing it to a guy. I made a simple reply about how the most effective response I’ve seen is for a person being subject to that kind of treatment to remain as calm & classy as possible - because that tends to make the person doing the rude confronting nonsense look bad from my experience. I was just sharing an opinion, take it or leave it. Josh replied with anger & insults - he then checked my profile, confirmed that I was woman & made another reply about how I dare I as a woman ‘tell men what to do’ (as if I was making some kind of command vs just sharing an opinion lol), then called me a c-nt. That was actually the 2nd time I was called a c-nt by him over almost nothing. It’s very very easy to trigger this man into anger because he is not remotely emotionally stable & has all kinds of unexpected trigger points like a damn volcano - generally his trigger points is if you don’t see the world as crazy and black & white as he does lol. If you mildly disagree in any way & dare comment in a way that he doesn’t like on his blog or Twitter he will rage at you in the comments & then block you because he has convinced himself everyone is on the brink of being cluster B & you need to tune them out (because he is NUTSSSSSSS).
‘My mom was nuts, therefore I have special insight about the direction that society is going & my very black & white proclamations about how everyone has cluster B traits while acting like someone with cluster B traits myself!!!’
I’m pretty sure this man has a very limited historical & political education outside his very limited life experience that the rest of us has, & even less wisdom. I doubt he is particularly well read or deeply thoughtful. He literally rants from the perspective of having had a crazy mother. Join the club lol
My internet was down so I am just responding now. I love your columns. Don't ever worry about writing too many as far as I'm concerned. I also love your interviews and readings, but the audio could sometimes use more amplification. I'm not much into chat. Happy post-Thanksgiving where we continue to thank God. Right now, I'm thanking Him that my Internet went up.
I would like to chat but sometimes I have commitment issues…so I tend toward comment box. Your essays are are terrific, both in content and in style…very natural voice.
I read tons and am a freeloader. I couldn't afford to pay for everything I like to read but your column is one of the best!
I wanted to vote for 2 (more posts) and 3 (chat), but it wouldn't let me! I don't see them as mutually exclusive.
what happened when you tried to vote?
It only let me press one button, so I couldn’t vote for a second option as well.
I voted first for 2 and then 3 was unclickable
Same here!
you couldn't vote either?
I wanted to vote for more than one item, but could only vote for one.
I am happy to recieve one post a week, but not really bothered if more.

Other than Josh Slocum lol. He is the one person you’ve quoted who I think is certifiably nuts & a problematic character
Slocum tells the truth and doesn't soften the blow.

Holy Moly, he really triggered you! You must be one of the people he banned.
Slocum is completely rational, which enrages some people.

I second the motion that questions 2 and 3 should be separated, not substitutable.
