In that case he should stop whinging about "creepy late-night phone calls" and "visits to my house" in order to get sympathy here, on uk.rec.sheds, on Wikipedia, etc. Either he's genuinely creeped out by me, in which case his continued unprovoked remarks about me are inexplicable (unless he's mentally ill...see elsewhere), or he's just pretending to be creeped out so people think "Aaah, poor Guy". The latter is somewhat more likely, and more typical of Chapman's disingenuous behaviour, although both are plausible.

I can't say I particularly care what you think of me, anymore than I'm sure you care what I think of you, but I suppose any increase in rationality around here is a good thing.

Even when I make a point of saying nothing about Chapman for months (and besides, he "doesn't read" my posts), he constantly takes pot shots at me (and JMS). "Keeping things on the boil" as JMS describes it. Ultimately this is because he sees these newsgroups as "his places", and me simply being here is enough for him to decide that I'm "intruding" and "only here to annoy him", which in his warped mind is justification for the shit-wallowing that he keeps engaging in.

> I am not claiming perfection here, I have an intense dislike for JMS.

I really don't see why. If you really did go back on that agreement that you made with her then she has a right to be irritated about it, wouldn't you say?

> I'm wondering if we should talk about this.

Isn't that what we're doing?
