I will follow up with Joseph exactly one week after I originally said I would, in accordance with his own wishes. We will see if he’s reflected at all. I’ve seen him do this to others. We’ll see how he grapples with the pattern coming to fruition.

The problem with gaslighters: they toy with individual’s specific realities and every level is another bargain with the devil. The only way to maintain composure to a gaslighter is to already have it. Otherwise they will distort you until you don’t remember where you started. I don’t expect my week timeout to do much for Joseph. I’m sure he’ll just play dumb. That’s why I blocked him. I’m not going to deal with that bs or act like randomly gaslighting someone is cool. At least the trolls and jokers are fun and have the excuse of impulsivity. Gaslighting someone—randomly—on a forum is far more extreme than any level of defensiveness, trolling, being an ass, etc.

The most dangerous thing to someone who manipulates the truth is when everyone else starts noticing the pattern.

@Joseph Maynor Blocked. I’ll talk to you in a week.

@Joseph Maynor You'd have to be extremely uncharitable to come to that conclusion but I am sorry you feel that way. If you keep this game up, I will block you for a week and you will have to deal with a timed check-in, from yours truly, asking about your behavior in 168 hours.

@Joseph Maynor I hope you know I’m familiar with gaslighting. Unfortunately, for you I do want to sell you death sticks and I’m not going to go home and rethink my life—or continue with your games. Gaslighting is the worst. Worse than @Elliott ‘s attention seeking tomfoolery. Goodbye Joseph. Play your trumpet.

Wow. I have never seen someone make such a blatant excuse for a situation. I asked you a question about music shops and said I don’t know what something means. If that hurts our Myers Briggs relationship maybe we should breakup.

@Joseph Maynor I actually deleted that before I realized you responded because I’m more curious about what you’re trying to do right now. I obviously asked you a simple question about music shops and now it is actually unclear what you are doing.

@Joseph Maynor What are you trying to do?

@Joseph Maynor Trying to understand your contributions while you seemingly question my motive and explain very little.

@Joseph Maynor And? Do @Natasha Tori Maru and I have a connection I don’t know about? What was the comment about equal footing? Where did that come from? You also posted the exact spot you have brunch in Vegas but then when I asked about a music shop gave me a place in CA and sed all further suggestions will need to be PMed. I don’t mean to question you—but what does any of that mean?

I don’t know what this means.

@Elliott Sue me

@Joseph Maynor We were talking about spots in Vegas. I may go back to Vegas and was curious if you had any spots you like. The spot in CA was cool too. Why do you think I’m trying to prove something?

@Elliott Also, cut the emotional manipulation.
