No, I would not do that. I just feel bad when someone is alone and wanting to part of something bigger. It just does not seem normal that the world is so big and so full of people and there are still many who feel they do not belong...

Yes I was ranting about my roommate boasting and bragging at every chance he had. He also had no sense of humor and tried to annoy me by doing a bunch of little annoying things. One was not including me in his circle, when we knew the exact same people. Then when I finally met his circle of people I was revolted because they were all just like him.

OMG I was so fed up with him and his garbage since the first two weeks of living with him. I wasn't ranting about any person in particular on this forum. So nobody really needed to be defensive or petulant.

I am sorry you were not treated like you should have been. Do you think it is better now?

There is a really funny movie on this topic. I believe I even posted about it at the time I saw it.

Dîner de cons, Le (1998)

That dumb dinner guest turned out to be very warm-hearted, though.

No, I meant which CD members were ranting and raving at you...I don't want to know who it was.

I guess what you're saying is sometimes CD can turn into OCD?

I don't know... I personally find this kind of charity offensive, particularly if it's not sincere. I don't do it and I don't want it done to me.

My friend from college has aspergers syndrome and he was also real heavy set. I invited him to my birthday party and people seemed to include him in the circle. A lot of the friends and people I met in college had "issues". I really didn't care that I wasn't part of any circle for most of college.

We agree on something...one for the record books

CD can get emotional but all in all, we enjoy one another.

It is not insincere...I like talking to people and I enjoy getting to know others and making them feel welcome. I am unsure how this could be offensive.
