Most of them begin as a transparent attempt to put someone else down, or to puff up his credentials as an "expert." Then he elaborates them to double-down on the authenticity of his story. It's the behavior of a chronic liar, not of a spinner of tales. I have the feeling that it is a bit more than chronic. I suspect that it is more a matter of a denial of reality, that he is a lifelong failure, primarily due to his own lack of effort. I think gummer has made a fair amount of effort in the past, but it was all badly conceived, misdirected and badly executed. That was the past. Now, I truly believe he's paralyzed. He truly has no idea what to do, and he can't even make any progress in trying to figure out what to do. He's completely stuck, and has no idea how to get unstuck. I know a fellow whose wife died last summer, leaving two school-age kids (12 or 13, and 16). He seems better, but he describes life, still, as "just putting one foot in front of the other." I truly believe gummer doesn't even know how to do that. One might even use the term "psychotic" liar. I guess it all comes down to whether or not gummer believes his own bull****. He claims it's all true. His very close friend and staunch supporter, Dan Caster, insists the stories are all "tall tails [sic]", and seems to suggest that gummer knows they are. It's hard to tell from text posts in Usenet if gummer believes the bull**** or not. If he does, then there definitely is some kind of mental defect in play. I don't know if it's psychosis, but it's something pretty deep in him. We're getting some social and political lessons right now about "alternative facts" and alternative realities, and the import of the big, particular case we're living through at the moment tends to sharpen one's attention to how this all works. Big consequences tend to focus the mind. One thing that we're learning, I think, is that a pattern of consistent lying, which normal people think of as being either pathological or deeply cynical, may actually function in a way that isn't clearly psychosis or simple cynicism. It may be a learned way of controlling one's environment and life; an alternate narrative that both protects oneself against painful confrontations with reality, and that provides a more acceptable story line to explain one's own failings and problems. Alternatively, in the hands of someone really talented, it can be the basis of a confidence act that brings money and power. Applying such an alternative reality to one's own life can lead to social withdrawal -- I know such a person, and he isn't nuts -- or to a belligerent form of self-assertion that's carried out with the aid of bluster and insults. The latter pattern fits one side of Gunner's mixed behavior. If he had the talent to pull off a real con, in addition to the bluster and insults, maybe he'd have a tower named after him. -- Ed Huntress |

On the other hand "Slow Eddy" was/is gainfully employed and, according to gunner's post, has now accumulated enough of lovely green stuff to now be retired from the fray. His wife did not run away, he owns his own home (or a significant portion there of), his kid did get a proper education and is (I believe) now gainfully.. In short, everywhere that the gunner has been a failure it seems that "Slow Eddy" has been a success. Is this jealousy we see rearing its ugly head? -- Cheers, Schweik |

Big consequences tend to focus the mind. "Big consequences tend to focus the mind." Well, that doesn't seem to be true with gummer. gummer's mind seems no better focused on improving his lot in life than it did when he first started begging the other "smart" right-wingnuts in this group for help a couple or three years ago. He has made no progress - he is living every bit as much on the extreme edge of despair as he was then. One thing that we're learning, I think, is that a pattern of consistent lying, which normal people think of as being either pathological or deeply cynical, may actually function in a way that isn't clearly psychosis or simple cynicism. It may be a learned way of controlling one's environment and life; an alternate narrative that both protects oneself against painful confrontations with reality, and that provides a more acceptable story line to explain one's own failings and problems. True to all of that. Alternatively, in the hands of someone really talented, chortle Uh...okay. it can be the basis of a confidence act that brings money and power. Applying such an alternative reality to one's own life can lead to social withdrawal I've written here several times that I've driven by gummer's squat. I also drove around Taft. You really need to believe me when I say that someone at the very center of civic life in Taft CA - which gummer plainly is not - is the epitome of social withdrawal. The entire blighted town is the very picture of social withdrawal. It's a town full of tweekers, like gummer's pup. The median family income is about $34,000. The median family income in the U.S. is about $52,000, and despite Taft's squalor, it's still in California, which means $34K won't go as far as it would elsewhere. -- I know such a person, and he isn't nuts -- or to a belligerent form of self-assertion that's carried out with the aid of bluster and insults.

No one buys that. For chrissake, his own "allies" here regard his "Amazing Wieber" bull**** as nothing more than "tall tails [sic]". Because of tribalism, most of his partisans here - Gardner, Terrell, Jacques, others - won't come out and say they know Wieber is full of ****, but by their silence when he is being called full of ****, they are agreeing. Dan Caster, perhaps Wieber's most vocal ally here, has said he regards all of Wieber's absurd claims as fiction - total bull****.

We're getting some social and political lessons right now about "alternative facts" and alternative realities, and the import of the big, particular case we're living through at the moment tends to sharpen one's attention to how this all works. Big consequences tend to focus the mind. ................... -- Ed Huntress ======================= "Alternative facts" that the French were too proud and arrogant to recognize as such provoked the war that resulted in WW1 and WW2. Afterwards they refused to accept that they had been so easily baited into declaring a war they couldn't win, and prepared for revenge. The modern Olympics were intended to condition their young men for the rematch with Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ems_Dispatch "His editing, he assured his friends, "would have the effect of a red rag on the Gallic [French] bull." Otto von Bismarck is worth studying for his mastery of the art of politics. Deception and spin-doctoring were fully developed at the start of written history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kadesh The Egyptian account turns the bungled battle into a glorious victory. However thers's no mention of the Exodus of the Israelites in their records. The left becomes SO indignant when their own tactics are turned against them. Perhaps their followers suffer from drug-induced loss of memory of the recent past. -jsw |

Most of them begin as a transparent attempt to put someone else down, or to puff up his credentials as an "expert." Then he elaborates them to double-down on the authenticity of his story. It's the behavior of a chronic liar, not of a spinner of tales. I have the feeling that it is a bit more than chronic. I suspect that it is more a matter of a denial of reality, that he is a lifelong failure, primarily due to his own lack of effort. I think gummer has made a fair amount of effort in the past, but it was all badly conceived, misdirected and badly executed. That was the past. |

"Alternative facts" that the French ...
I almost posted this one twice the same way, by disconnecting too soon after sending it. This time I deleted the pending copy from the Outbox. |

And I dont. Ive made a point of it for most of my life. Ever since I discovered its far far to difficult to remember which lies one tells which person and it comes back and bites you in the ass." http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...633fef7961cc92 Its up the the reader to decide. It is well-decided. You contradict yourself constantly because you haven't a hope in hell of remembering all your lies, much less making them match one another. Few here know me well enough to know me in the slightest or have a clue about my life. No. Your life is well documented thanks to your need to build yourself up by telling crazy stories, which attracts derision. Which "forced" you to tell more lies about having your detractors killed, motivating some of them to hose you down with reality in the form of irrefutable documentation. You tried to lie that away as well, and so here you are. You're too small and stupid to take your medicine, and for whatever bizarre reason you imagining that telling new lies can clean up the mess the old ones created. Just as Dorothy's escape from Oz had always been a few heel clicks away, so is your escape from poverty. You've admitted you need proper employment. And you said the Wieber Cliff notes are "a pretty good listing of my accomplishments" https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc...A/qM2K2lIlG-0J So print out the Cliff Notes, pick a place of employment, slap those pages down on the boss's desk and proclaim "here's a pretty good listing of my accomplishments." |

I think the one behaving like an idiot here is you, Dan. I believe you do think that. But I just regard that as proof that you are acting as an idiot. Of course you do. You identify with something about him, or you wouldn't defend such an insulting, chronic liar. It's not possible that you think he is just pulling people's legs -- unless, as I said earlier, that you read selectively and ignore the reprehensible pattern of "brag and lie" that he uses as a way to put others down to his level. Another attempt to characterize me. But you are wrong. ] am just not emotionally involved. If you weren't, you wouldn't be involved in this thread. By not emotionally involved , I mean attempted attacks on me do not bother me. My blood pressure does not go up. And I find the responses entertaining. In Gunner I see someone that does not always tell the truth. You see this as a lying slandering jerk, while I see it as someone poking people with the verbal equivalent of a sharp stick. Lies are not "poking." Lies are lies. When they're employed to insult or abuse someone else, they take on a special character. So you say, but that does not make it true. What do you call all those books in the library. The library calls them fiction. But I guess you call them lies. I do not understand why people get worked up over Gunner. Because he uses them to insult and belittle others. You certainly seem to be worked up, or you wouldn't be engaging the subject in your rather long list of posts. Sorry but I am not really worked up. And I think you will find that my list of posts about Gunner are not anywhere near the volume of you and all those that do not post under their real names. He is what he is, and there is not much that I can do about it. And alsoLoading not much that you can do about it. So I just accept it and you get worked up over it. There are lots better things to get emotional about.. Dan You aren't the subject of his insults. I don't accept them. Bully for you. Either you can't see what's going on, or that's your tribe. I can see what is going on. Gunner is poking you and you are getting upset.Loading Then you don't see what's going on. See above. You may not agree with what I see, but that is certainly what it looks like to me. Ed Huntress I do not have a tribe. Who wrote the book about inner directed people, outer directed people and traditional directed people? Anyway I am pretty much inner directed or maybe tradition directed. But in either case not tribal. Dan I looked it up. The book is " The Lonely Crowd " Dan -- Ed Huntress |

He even went so far to insist, hundreds of times, that he was literally having people put down. You LIKED reading that nonsense, no sense in pretending otherwise. |

But I'm uncommonly sick of this wailing, pig-ignorant cocksucker. Stop crying, you big baby. |

No one in this group ****es away as much time in juvenile put-downs as gummer. You know this. There is no way you can't know it. Wieber may now be wondering which team Dan is on. Reminds me of comic. Dog is asking his homeless owner "what do I need you for?" |
