Madame Vengier Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 [quote name='Terra Firma' post='1827700' date='Apr 7 2009, 02:57 PM']My husband antagonizes me just because of my reaction (and out of affection). The less I react, the less he antagonizes me. The more strong my reaction is, the more likely he is to keep poking at me. This was also true of my brothers, friends, etc. I do it myself. My parents used to tell me I didn't have to respond to people's attempts to get me riled up. It took a while, but eventually I saw the wisdom of that. Now, I only respond if I want to play along. Parents are pretty awesome.[/quote] Sorry, but you're making excuses for antagonizers, and blaming the ones who are being antagonized ("if only they wouldn't respond", etc). I think people need to consider what it means to willfully and deliberately try to make another person miserable. Call it out for what it is and stop making excuses for it.

I ALMOST wrote a three page post on your claims here. You were not harassed...you were antagonized. Don't get me started[/quote] It looks like you already did get started, Meg. And HCF wasn't the one who used the word "harrassment"; I was. I could write a three-page commentary on what's wrong with excusing people who antagonize others. I could also include a thorough and lengthy psychological assessment of the type of mindset that causes a person to think it's justifiable--and even worse, cute--to deliberately try and make another person miserable and look like a fool in front of others. However, I really don't think anyone wants me to do that. In any case, I'm sure the members thank you for your contribution to the topic...after 7 pages.

Lil Red Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 +J.M.J.+ what is the preoccupation with when someone posts in a thread??? i don't understand why someone's viewpoint isn't valid when they post after a certain amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
