“Sure. Your wife know you’re looking at such things, gramps ?”
I called her into the study to see your profile page.
“I also have pictures of other things like political candidates. Does that make me obsessed with them, too, Dr. Freud?”
It might. It depends on the politicians and the context in which you present them.
“I happened to post pictures of some lovely actresses I found to be attractive.”
That’s fine. But your fixation does not appear to be the actresses themselves, but rather their posing in underwear or skimpy bathing suits. So, it’s not the actresses themselves with which you are fixated, but rather the actresses in a state of undress. That’s fine, but not on a public forum, unless that forum is dedicated to such interests, which FR is not.
“I’m curious about the ‘portraits’ you have hanging in your house. These are just pics in cyberspace. I wonder if we’d find your tastes ‘obsessive’ or ‘creepy’, not to mention ‘juvenile. Eh, grandpa?”
Well, if you find Vermeer, and Chabas, and Waterhouse, et als “juvenile;” and Garbo and Grace Kelly and Charlotte Rampling “creepy;” then you have offered a weird review of art.
“Actually, the real point is that you seem singularly obsessed with me and what I do, which is really none of your concern. “
Don’t flatter yourself. Stop posting to me, and I won’t respond. However, if you post something to which I think a response is warranted — even if not directed to me — I will respond.
“The last concern trolls...”
Of which I am not one.
“...and bitter old hags championing leftist causes and candidates...”
Again, that description does not fit me.
“...who complained about my page...”
Again, I did not complain; I merely pointed out that your profile page exhibits a juvenile obsession.
“...(which you’d have to actively seek out AND then scroll a distance down to, hardly ‘out in the open) were laughed off FR.”
It’s common to read other FReepers’ profile pages; or else, why even have them? They are not for the person who posted them (unless that person is a narcissist — and you share some of those traits); they are for other FReepers to read.
Or, are you going to say that you posted your profile page just for yourself? If so, then you really ARE a narcissist. Do you have mirrors all over your house (or, more likely, your room in your parents’ house)?
“My page has been fully vetted by the mods, and even JimRob.”
That’s fine. The thing about your profile page is not its content, by itself; but, the abundance and overuse of the subject matter; which, as I said is something only someone with arrested development, or full of insecurity, or even imprisoned, would resort to.
“But feel free to report me to them if you’re so inclined, Gramps.”
Why would I do that?
“As for what FR is about, it can mean appreciation for many things. Some for sports, some for automobiles, some for politics & history, some for travel, some for architecture. Mine happens to be for lovely women.”
Oh, yeah? Then why aren’t you posting threads about your pin-ups? If FR includes a conservative interest in scantily-clad women, then why haven’t you started threads on that subject, complete with examples from your profile page?
“And yet you and your clique are there to defend the pervert totalitarian dictator Zelensky over the slightest slight.”
Nice try, kid. For the umpteenth time: I support Ukraine defending itself in spite of who its president is.
“Does she know you seem to enjoy their company?”
On the contrary, she knows I enjoy opposing them and their arguments; such as you and yours.
I'm touched.
"That’s fine. But your fixation does not appear to be the actresses themselves, but rather their posing in underwear or skimpy bathing suits.

You mean I'm not allowed to like pretty actresses in bikinis or revealing clothing ? Some get the smelling salts !
"Well, if you find Vermeer, and Chabas, and Waterhouse, et als “juvenile;” and Garbo and Grace Kelly and Charlotte Rampling “creepy;” then you have offered a weird review of art."
Charlotte Rampling is a little creepy, actually.
"Don’t flatter yourself. Stop posting to me, and I won’t respond. However, if you post something to which I think a response is warranted — even if not directed to me — I will respond."
Aren't you the charmer. Apply your same reasoning to your lunatic colleague who wants the eradication of Russia, including tens of millions of Christians, who all of a sudden was freaking out that I replied to her. You don't get to decide who does and doesn't respond to whatever nonsense or hate comes flowing out of your keyboard.
"Of which I am not one.;; Again, that description does not fit me."
And yet you exhibit all the hallmarks, along with "stalker."
"Again, I did not complain; I merely pointed out that your profile page exhibits a juvenile obsession."
That's both a complaint and a false judgment, for which you don't have the medical expertise in the field of psychiatry to make. In fact, I don't think you'd have mentioned this at all were I in league with your Zelensky clique. But then again, the fact you have to actively seek out my profile page and scroll down a distance to find what you deem objectionable speaks more to you than it does to me. Hypocrisy, amongst other things. Stalking, too.
"It’s common to read other FReepers’ profile pages;"
I note the ones who tend to complain about mine often have a thoroughly blank page. That's also usually the sign of a troll or disruptor. You guys give yourselves away.
"or else, why even have them? They are not for the person who posted them (unless that person is a narcissist — and you share some of those traits); they are for other FReepers to read."
Actually, mine is there to remind me that it needs badly to be updated after about a decade or so. I've still got Cruz up for '16. It's also incomplete, as I took down a much longer roster of actresses over a decade ago.
"Or, are you going to say that you posted your profile page just for yourself? If so, then you really ARE a narcissist. Do you have mirrors all over your house (or, more likely, your room in your parents’ house)?"
Are you fishing around to get a picture of me, grandpa ?
"That’s fine. The thing about your profile page is not its content, by itself; but, the abundance and overuse of the subject matter; which, as I said is something only someone with arrested development, or full of insecurity, or even imprisoned, would resort to."
Not really. Could be I appreciate beauty. Feminine beauty, that is. Not weird creeps who pull out their genitals for piano recitals.
"Why would I do that?"
Because most of your clique likes to remove or delete anything that gets in their way. Posts and posters.
"Oh, yeah? Then why aren’t you posting threads about your pin-ups? If FR includes a conservative interest in scantily-clad women, then why haven’t you started threads on that subject, complete with examples from your profile page?"
Well, gee whiz, grandpa. If I wasn't having to waste my time responding to imbeciles, maybe I could post more about my interests. I was doing cat and animal videos up until your clique decided to upend FR by turning us into a globalist warmongering for the pervert Zelensky fan club. I'd much rather be doing something else. Animal vids, architecture, lovely women, and a host of other topics.
"Nice try, kid. For the umpteenth time: I support Ukraine defending itself in spite of who its president is."
And it so happens, for the umpteenth time, that its dictator, Zelensky, is entirely responsible for the present situation (as 78% of those polled there can attest). Absent him and instead an ELECTED President cleaning up corruption and seeking a peaceful solution to relations with Russia, instead of one destroying his country, turning it into a debauched state and carrying on with child sex trafficking via his oligarch puppetmasters, maybe you'd have a lot more people sympathetic to their leader. Look at what having a pedophile degenerate career criminal INSTALLED (not elected) in D.C. has managed to do for our domestic and international reputation. We're almost as bad as the Ukraine.
"On the contrary, she knows I enjoy opposing them and their arguments; such as you and yours."
Does she know that you manage to lose every argument to us "perverts" ? ;-D
