There is a sickness that is spreading on this board, it has a name:
Co-Dependency
And there is a symptom of this disease, it has a name:
Denial
What is it with you guys, huh??? Thanks to DeepThroat's post, we now know Utne's bottom line. Oh, how he had us fooled! We thought he really cared about the technical issues, like the rest of us do. Probably from his lawsuit, he's so bankrupt he could never afford HDTV, whether COFDM or 8-VSB. He has a vendetta, plain and simple. It's time to let him be.
And are we in denial about our obsession with this guy? Just look at the posts today:
Be brave guys, face the truth. We all have a bad 'jones' for Bob's inflamitory, ultimately worthless posts. It allows us to take a stand, to be indignant, to puff up our chests... and it is totally without meaning!
WE all can learn from the simple principles of a good twelve step program: The "One Day at a Time" principal. Let's all agree, just for today, not to repond to any posts made by Utne. Do you think we can accomplish this simple task? - I don't know, the addiction is very strong here! Working together, I think we can do it. Let's grant the moderators power to delete any posts we might make because of the strong urge to confront Utne, even though we know now this is addictive behavior and is only self-serving.
In fact, you can practice your program of recovery ight now - read, but do not respond to, this post.
Good luck - you'll need it!
