I've been flamed!

I have been the victim of a flaming attack!  Gosh. I don't know whether to be amused or annoyed. It's quite  sweet really- such a high degree of interest in every detail of my work!!  
I think I'll do my usual psychological thing and stand back and analyse this.......


Want to know what flaming is?


Flaming is the often deliberate act of posting or writing messages on Internet bulletin boards and message groups that have the intent of insulting or creating dissent within a group. An Internet flame is often filled with coarse language and personal insults. It is meant to hurt people’s feelings, get them fired up, and not to further conversation on a personal issue. It is never conversational, but it may be meant to upset an entire group, provoking conversation about someone’s flame or on the practice of flaming in general.

Sometimes egotism causes a person to practice flaming. A person may feel that his or her opinion is the only valid one on the subject and state so in an insulting way.

Some people theorize that flaming is common on the Internet because there is relative anonymity in Internet posting. People who flame are not that likely to actually insult people in person. Flaming on the Internet offers a degree of protection not likely to be afforded in a face-to-face conversation.

In my view, this is narcissism.  In fact, it's destructive narcissism, which is a particularly nasty way to be egotistical.  Well this is one person who should get out more, and maybe try thinking about other people's feelings.   Oh of course, I forgot. Egotistical people lack empathy. Cant do that. Can't see the truth when its standing there right before their very eyes. Pathetic.


You know the song

Some folks say that I'm "egotistical"
Well I don't even know what that means -
I guess it has something to do with the
Way that I fill out my skintight blue jeans.

I am also informed that to call a narcissistic person "a narcissistic person" is "a form of abuse."  I'm working on that.

This individual, with nothing more to do but send me emails, is a womb twin survivor.   Now there does seem to be a particular kind of wombtwin survivor whose psychology EXACTLY fits the criteria for narcissism.  I know several of them now: they destroy relationships, and then one party or the other gets out and leaves.  Meanwhile its always someone else's fault.

I left.

I wonder if the flaming will continue now I've gone?  I wonder if I'll get flamed on this blog? That would be a new experience. Once they have your email, they just go on and on. It's like an obsession.  I wonder if I can make a good link between narcissism and wombtwin survivors? I think I'll work on that. Let's see what happens next......
