Have you ever watched an episode of "...Dan (2)<br /><br />Have you ever watched an episode of "Homes of the Rich and Famous"?<br /><br />Are you aware thousands of people a day go on bus trips of Beverly Hills, looking at the homes of the Rich and Famous?<br /><br />Did the person you mention creep around Dave Weber's home and stare in the windows? Did he go back day after day?<br /><br />A fan wanting to see the MWW's home indicates fandom and interest. A single drive by look is not creepy, its curiosity.<br /><br />You are too harsh in your immediate reaction to me, and to him.<br /><br />Ianianrclark99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17816816848295728149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-57881460543169002842012-11-07T11:00:19.357+11:002012-11-07T11:00:19.357+11:00Dan
Umm, Huh!?

I was absent from the Bar for five years after my breakdown turned into suicide. (Only once, once is enough to wake one up to the fact one needs help).<br /><br />Not sure when I joined up here. Apologised to Dave for making him look bad supporting me to Baen those years ago. I've made quite a few posts here and a few to his blog.<br /><br />I fail to see how my wishing to talk to Dave by telephone rather than this forum is creepy. I don't remember now why I wished to speak to him, but it wasn't stalking. I suspect I just wished to hear his accent, as about that time issues of expatriate South Africans and Aussies who'd worked in SA, whom I met as a teenager, had just re-entered our lives, briefly.<br /><br />Anyway, I made a single attempt to telephone Dave. That is not stalking.<br /><br />Ianianrclark99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17816816848295728149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-19972881553631382322012-11-06T23:57:58.686+11:002012-11-06T23:57:58.686+11:00Trying to do something like that without prior con...Trying to do something like that without prior contact scores rather high on the creepometer IMO.

I don't like talking on the telephone. Being able to work without interruption is important to me. Visitors are rare, and phone calls are too easy. During the work day I don't even have e-mails on. Those who live or visit the island regularly have not found me hard to meet.

Year: 1974. Living...From the other perspective :-)<br /><br />Year: 1974. Living in a home unit <br />Time: 4 am<br />Where: Lane Cove, Sydney, NSW, OZ<br />Problem: My first wife had woken up worried about work. Wanted to go for a walk.<br /><br />After about 15 minutes, the dry wind in our faces dried out an eye and her contact lens fell out.<br /><br />We knocked and called at the door of the nearest home. Initially, they were peeved at being woken, but when I explained the problem, immediately went back inside and grabbed a couple of torches and helped us find the lens.<br /><br />In those days, that lens was glass and cost a week's wage. We were extremely gratefull for their help, but unsurprised.<br /><br />===<br /><br />If that story was 2012, they'd just have called the police.<br /><br />Not all changes are bad, many are good. But, trust seems to be draining away.<br /><br />Ian<br /><br />ianrclark99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17816816848295728149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-81888088785795787002012-11-05T20:10:47.357+11:002012-11-05T20:10:47.357+11:00{quote}James was complaining that we have too few ...{quote}James was complaining that we have too few drop-ins here in the whoop-whoop (so by all means do drop in).{/quote}<br /><br />And just how would one do that? I don't think you have any idea how respected you and Barbs are on the island, nor how protected.<br /><br />'bout a year ago, I tried to contact you by 'phone. Spoke to about eleven people "in town", they all knew you and Barbs and weren't prepared to reveal your unlisted telephone number until they'd passed my details to you so you could make the choice.<br /><br />I did mention it here, so I assumed your choice was not to speak.
