>>>I noticed that in a number of messages you used the phrase, "What you think of me doesn't worry me at all." I'm curious then why you refuse to give that same sort of advice to Naomi instead of constantly backing her in her complaints about what others think of her.
>>
>>Some here think that the attention I give to a topic like this one is driven by worry. However, that's not the case at all. Perhaps this is not true for Naomi. In her case it may indeed be worry that motivates her in the first place. But even if that's the case, people here should give it some sincere attention. What we see is that most people want her to TOTALLY not talk about it. Each and every word she uses is interpreted negatively. I think she should not worry about what these people think of her. Some advices here can indeed best be neglected totally.

>Not so. I think most people who are reacting negatively want her to not talk about it every month or so. How many times is enough?

Her current reaction (I'm refering now to this thread's main message) cannot (should not) be regarded as whining. It's a proposal for a better filter system. It's actually quite analytic, and reactions should have been analytic too.

>>>I've never twitted anybody, and probably never will. There are mistaken souls here whose opinions I sometimes oppose diametrically and passionately, but there are other times when I agree with those same incomprehensibly suddenly sane people.
>>>
>>>Calling twitting someone an abuse of the filter is like my telling you that you're abusing the U.T. if you don't follow all the threads in all the topics.
>>>
>>>If I found out that somebody twitted me, it would take me all of about 1 second to learn to live with it - regardless who it is. And believe me when I say that I would not write one single message to any U.T. area complaining about it.
>>
>>One second only? Regardless who it is? I dare to doubt that. And assumed it is true, does that imply that you're the balanced soul here?

>Really, don't doubt it. As far as being a balanced soul; I can't answer that because I don't know what it means to be a balanced soul. All I can say is that I seriously do not expect everybody in the world to like me, so if somebody decides they don't, well, it's the way of life and I have too much more to do than to get tied up in a knot over it. Time is too precious to spend fretting about it.

You wrote 'regardless who it is'. Now you're refering to 'somebody'. It's easy - and realistic - to say we cannot expect everybody to like us. But seriously meaning 'regardless who it is' is what I dared (and dare) to doubt.
