Excellent recap Flox....what we need is more people to expose the truth!

CONGRATS ON YOUR JEER FLOX!

I can just see it now. Bobo and his last minion alone. Bobo spinning wild tales of battling evil (much like a superhero). Last minion enraptured, awaiting each new adventure with anxious delight. [Last minion is a mirror, and Bobo is, well, Bobo].

Okay, retraction time bobo. You Jeered me, now, if you are a man of your word, time to jeer yourself (unless of course you are a pathological liar).

Your Jeer: I took an overnight trip to New Hamshire with my daughters last year, which hardly qualifies as a vacation. Two years earlier I took my family to Disney when I worked for CNC. If you are going to lie about things, at least call Matt first. He's a pro.

Now, a friend of mine sent me a copy of your August 21, 2008 edition and within it was an article you wrote titled,"Reaching the Highest Peak of All" maybe you remember it, after all, it was only last year.

I won't retype the whole article, but perhaps you remember the quotes:

"After a nearly six hour drive, my idea of a vacation was peeling off my socks..."

"This vacation was for them."

"When you have seven year old twins, vacations no longer belong to you"

So if this hardly qualifies as a vacation, why do YOU keep calling it a vacation. Next question, where did you spend father's day two years back?

So, you owe yourself a jeer, in print, for calling flox a liar (unless you were lying last year, and the year before that, and...)

I'm waiting, I'm sure you'll do it as you are an honest man who admits when he is wrong, right?

Pathological lying is interesting because there are so many kinds. Some pathological liars will lie about many things which are easily refuted for no apparent reason, and others do so because they want to mislead and don't think they will get caught. Others lie because they take a perverse pleasure in deceiving  trusting people. Some lie about silly things and others lie to build themselves up. Still others truly misremember. (I have a friend who is a professor who studies the later.)

My impression of Robert Slager is that he doesn't always process what he writes through a kind of internal verification mechanism but instead is so intent on making a point and backing it up that sometimes convinces himself that he's writing the truth.  While I think he sometimes is conscious of his lies other times he want to please authority figures and passes on their lies, or just writes things that support them and blocks his own recollection if it contradicts what he's been told.

Pathological liars in the psychiatric sense aren't the same as deliberate liars with anti-social personality traits. A classic example is a used car salesman who tells you that an old city taxi cab was only used for highway driving. The motivation for the lie is clear and he knows full well it is a lie but doesn't care.

What is Robert Slager? What is Bruce  Sauvageau?

It is possible that someone engages in various kinds of lying too.

This is more than an exercise in mental health diagnosis. By understanding the people you are up against at many levels you are better equipped to deal with them.

"The  bloggers are pathologically obsessed with him and seriously need  a life...."

Please explain what you mean by this if especially if you mean it as an indictment of those who are concerned about Robert Slager's influence.
