JWB just called me and told me that there was some not so nice stuff said about me. I am really saddened by this and would like to know why.
I rarely post and always like to just chit chat with the nice folks at Topix.I am sorry if granny said anything wrong or offensive.
The hatred might come from my relationship to JWB but he is a nice young man that cares about me and others.
Love Granny

Poor Granny.You should have jwb pick you up and head south on 93. Get off in Concord and look for Pleasant St.
If they are still in business (NHSH) I'm sure they will have a nice room for you along with the help that you need. It's nice that you and jwb are so close. Maybe they can find a room near yours so he can stay close to you.

Hey BillNH, I actually like you so why have you changed?When you first started posting you said you didn't care about the personal histories and only wanted to talk about M<aura. I know find you reaching out to attack mode.

Relax chief, was just poking some fun. Not an attack.

Granny, following BillNH's above comment, "Not an attack.", allow me to chime in for a moment. i'll be direct, but polite.
at some level, i trust you mean well. i also believe you see this disappearance through your own eyes and emotions, a personalized relating, but not a particularly balanced view.
you say you have an "open mind", but your messaging, your actions outside of this online discussion, and the conclusions you bring forward by way of accusations prove otherwise.
you are easily provoked to taking offense and perceiving many / most / if not all statements as criticism. maturity and sophistication may someday dawn on you when you realize:
1) everyone has an opinion
2) not everyone shares your opinion
3) people will not likely change their minds to accept your opinions if they are brow beaten, threatened with outing, or otherwise bullied, although i trust you might be getting over that hump.
4) if people DON'T want to make your acquaintance in real life, or "chit chat" online, then respect that. take the "cues". keep away. it is unacceptable to make contact with someone who doesn't want to know you (aka - stalking).
5) your presence as "Granny" was / is not amusing; it is a spoof and intended as "an attack" (yep, on me); so, don't be so thin-skinned. you get as good as you give.
6) as you know, i won't humor or enable you to act on any of the above. it's childish to speak to yourself and others as "Granny". you're fooling no one, and there's nothing important to say in her guise, anyway.
you haven't achieved legendary status, like Beagle, so don't even try.
and most of all,
7) your reference to staying on-topic about MM is ridiculous. there is no news, much as the newbies have tried to breathe life back into the topic. when a new clue is uncovered / brought forward by an inadvertent or obvious discovery, then more will be known. stop acting so self-rightgeous. everyone can read your annoying schtick.

The alchemy of the heavenly bodies bring forth my body; shaking and unjulating up to the Genesis of awareness. Interlocking mechanisms in the skunkworks of my cells; the world is baroque and catholic and deceptive. For I am smart, deep, and complex; I am a philosopher. I produce and manufacture ideas. Welcome to Wendy's, you want fries with that?

My ideas are so stupid and dangerous, only a bunch of goofy, highly educated white breed idiots would follow them.

You ought to come on up to Chester's Mill. A town of folks like you and me. A town of ordinary folk. A town of the people.

Do you mean to compare Renner with Stephen King or does this serve another purpose?

all those Red Sox players do blow in the dugout and put candy corn in their budgie smugglers.

Don't compare a two bit hack like Renner to a one bit hack like myself. Now excuse me, I have a another two page run-on sentence to write, and some naval gazing in my character development to construct.

Not a connection. Don't let this setback stop you from doing research.

Oh and a friendly request. Can you please limit any name drops on your blog...perhaps eliminate. I haven't looked to see...I'm just asking in general. I say so because the history of research in general has included some damage to the innocent. No accusations here.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If you do not feel comfortable providing a specific example, could you at least give me a hypothetical?

As I understand the phrase, name-dropping means referencing an important person to gain credibility. Is this definition consistent with your understanding of the term?

If you see no connection between Renner and King, then why would you post a link to the website of a fictional town created by King and ask Renner to visit it?

I doubt you are saying that James Renner is a "French Fry Philosopher" ... recheck your premise.:)

John Q. Public is an example. The principle is general. As is context of allegory, in which answers are not found in specifics.
