Hello everyone... I just chanced on this board and it's interesting to me because I had participated on the first known forums re: Mr. Masters, lo so many years ago. The only name I recognize here is Merv's, who is quite the veteran. I think I may have caused him some consternation back then and we locked horns. I believe I was seen as some sort of trouble-maker. No, I know I was.

Reading over the dialogue here was like a complete deja vu. Meaning, it seems to me that there is the same exact dynamic at play. There's almost a obsessional hand wringing about trying to untie the conundrum that is Roy without signalling others that you've strayed too far. Additionally, there are deeply heartfelt postings from searching people with an undercurrent of real vulnerability --and there's the messages from people who take that too far into the realm of a public display of self-flaggelation (you've got to wonder what's being played out there).

But the thing that will always grate on me --and I'll just say this and move on-- is the totally obnoxious game of one person telling the other to relax or to trump the other guy by "outing" their resentful motives... that little trick seems to be the currency of power among Roy groupies. It would almost be better to outright yell at each other to get it out of your system and quit trying to be so pious. On the other hand, you all know what Roy's all about (or is he really more of a conundrum than any care to admit), so what else is there to talk about? That's essentially why I stopped posting... although I did make a couple of dear friends, no question.

Thanks.
