Subject: Should I remind you your comparisons or what?
In reply to: Peter van der Hoog 's message, "What a ridiculous comparison" on Sat, January 04 2003, 11:36:31

It was a message to Todd, Peter. Yours I left on the old board:

If you read it, you must have remembered the tactics of interrogations I'm talking about. It is all about a definite psychological effect. A prisoner is asked by two examining magistrates, one of them rude, another one, in contrast, very nice and polite. Sometimes it can be the same examiner, changing his tone. The prisoner refuses to answer the questions of 'evil' examiner and in contrast ready to speak with the kind one. I'm aware that you don't like it, but it is a real association that came to my mind. Should I remind you of your comparisons?

I�ve always been clear and
>straightforward: I don�t believe you married
>BF. With that simple fact in mind my behaviour is
>explainable and not rude at all.

You don't know the laws. Ethical harassment and hostile treatment with explanations still stay the same ethical harassment and hostile treatment and nothing else. You are violating my human rights.

You�d better ask

You also don't know the elementary rule of ethiquette: it is very tactless to ask a woman any questions about her past. She don't have to speak about it.

Yeah. Especially after your 'we are in Heaven' remark.

>About the 10 mails per day Todd and I exchanged,

OK, let us suppose Todd is exaggerating(although I don't know why should he do that). Then would you tell me how many letters you and Todd exchanged per day during the periods then he asked 'your' questions.

>Often I wonder what will happen when I believe you

>did not). My prediction is that our conversation will

I many times thought what would have happened if we'd occasionally met in Roma in the summer of 1972. Something like 'Back in the future', you know. My prediction that it would have been a short romance finished before its start after you would have said some silly thing.

It is very nice that you've followed my advice and bought the book at last!
