I understand...........but you will see it another way once John
Herring/JohnH/JLH, Reggie Smithers/EtAl or others decide to stalk
you. ;-)

And believe me...........it will happen someday,

Trust me - I'm not worried about it.

However, if you insist - here's my opinion on this little
contretemps.

You are both acting like two gay lovers breaking up in a gay
bar and putting on a show for all the other patrons.

There - I said it.

It is what it is.

It might not be a permanent breakup. When Harry was "Stalking" JimH,
JimH used the same line over and over again, " if he decides to stalk
you. And believe me...........it will happen someday"

Now Harry is JimH's best buddy, so it is still possible JimH will soon
want to kiss and make up with his JohnH. The only problem is the
"patrons" will have to watch the drama reenacted daily for a very long
time.

I can remember when JimH accused Chuck of "Stalking" him stated many
times that Chuck posting a link which included JimH's home address and
phone number, putting him, his wife and his daughter in personal danger.
This went on for days until someone with a server was able to retrieve
the original link, which verified Chuck's statement that no such
personal info on the web page. Immediately JimH kissed and made up with
Chuck, so there does seem to be a pattern of very vocal and public
fights, then very gushy public displays of affection.

Love is a many splendid thing.

This is boy is indeed obsessed with me (even though I KF'd him and
previously asked him not to email me) and needs some serious psychiatric
help.

Can you say 'Stalking'?

Harry.......can your wife suggest a therapist in his area?


No, Jimmy, not stalking. Just wondering if your reading comprehension
problems caused you to refer to me as a 'non-boater' in a recent post.

You seem get things mixed up easily.

I could care less whether or not you post the email I sent you.

Love is a many splendid thing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a number of different Greek words for love, as the Greek
language distinguishes how the word is used. Ancient Greek has three
distinct words for love: eros, philia, and agape. However, as with other
languages, it has been historically difficult to separate the meanings
of these words. Nonetheless, the senses in which these words were
generally used are given below.

Eros (á¼”Ï?ως érÅ?s) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing.
The Modern Greek word "erotas" means "(romantic) love". Plato refined
his own definition. Although eros is initially felt for a person, with
contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that
person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. It should be
noted Plato does not talk of physical attraction as a necessary part of
love, hence the use of the word platonic to mean, "without physical
attraction". Plato also said Eros helps the soul recall knowledge of
beauty, and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth. Lovers
and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros. The most famous
ancient work on the subject of eros is Plato's Symposium, which is a
discussion among the students of Socrates on the nature of eros.

Philia (φιλία philÃ*a), means friendship in modern Greek, a dispassionate
virtuous love, was a concept developed by Aristotle. It includes loyalty
to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality and
familiarity. In ancient texts, philia denoted a general type of love,
used for love between family, between friends, a desire or enjoyment of
an activity, as well as between lovers.

Agapē (ἀγάπη agápē) means "love" in modern day Greek. The term s'agapo
means "I love you" in Greek. The word "agapo" is the verb "I love". In
Ancient Greek it often refers to a general affection or concern, rather
than the physical attraction suggested by "eros"; agape is used in
ancient texts to denote feelings for a good meal, one's children, and
the feelings for a spouse. The verb appears in the New Testament
describing, amongst other things, the relationship between Jesus and the
beloved disciple. Many Christian scholars have consequently argued that
the verb's use in the New Testament is simply to describe God's love for
humanity (compare with Spinoza's amor intellectualis Dei, the
intellectual love of God). In the end, "agape" is differentiated from
"eros" above. In biblical literature, its meaning and usage is
illustrated by self-sacrificing, giving love to all--both friend and
enemy. The word "agape" is not always used in the New Testament in a
positive sense. II Timothy 4:10 uses the word in a negative sense. The
Apostle Paul writes,"For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this
present world...." The word "loved" here is a form of the root word
"agape". Thus the word "agape" is not always used of a divine love or
the love of God. Generally, in the New Testament it refers to a total
commitment or self-sacrificial love for the object loved. The word seems
to contain more of a mental or intellectual element than the other Greek
words for love. It is a rational love that is not based on total
self-interest. By this a Christian is required to love (agape) someone
who is not necessarily lovely or loveable. The Christian by God's grace
and mercy is required to "love" someone that he may not necessarily like
or love in the sense of having warm fuzzy emotional feelings toward. It
is a love that acts in the best interest of the other person. The
classic biblical text on this self-sacrificial love is the well-known
biblical verse, John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son...." A Christian is required to love his enemies
("...Love your enemies..." Matthew 5:44). Thus, the Christian is
required always to do good and have the best interest of his enemies in
view when he acts.

Storge (στοÏ?γή storgÄ“) means affection in modern Greek; it is natural
affection, like that felt by parents for offspring. Rarely used in
ancient works, and then almost exclusively as a descriptor of
relationships within the family.

The word homophobia was rarely used early in the twentieth century to
mean "fear or hatred of the male sex or humankind". In this use, the
word derived from the Latin root homo (Latin, "man" or "human") with the
Greek ending -phobia ("fear").

In its more recent usage, dating from 1969, "homophobia" derives from
the -phobia ending applied, not to the Latin root "homo", but to a
shortening of homosexual. (Here, homo comes not from the Latin for
"man", but from the Greek for homosexual.) It was used by clinical
psychologist George Weinberg, who claims to have first thought of it
while speaking at a homophile group in 1965, and was popularized by his
book Society and the Healthy Homosexual in 1971. When asked about the
meaning of the word in a 2002 interview, he said:

"Homophobia is just that: a phobia. A morbid and irrational dread which
prompts irrational behavior flight or the desire to destroy the stimulus
for the phobia and anything reminiscent of it."

A possible etymological precursor was homoerotophobia, coined by
Wainwright Churchill in Homosexual Behavior Among Males in 1967.
