4. You take note of my desk chair with two new Toyotas, a new boat, and

I think we have found the root of the hostility and it is jealously.
I couldn't see the connection between grandchildren and the Toyotas.

Well, you could have put the money you spent or are spending on the
Toyotas into an educational savings account for your grandchildren.
There's probably more tied up in those cars than I have tied up in my
chair.
Yes, I could have bought used cars and saved some money. You are correct.

My comment about your chair was made in the hopes you would see that
bragging about an $850 desk chair was not the way to stop the insults and
name-calling that is so often directed at you. When you say you have an
$850 desk chair, it sounds like bragging. I'm sure it's not, but that's
what it sounds like.

John...here's a hint: whatever advice you have for me...doesn't interest me.

Yes it does, Harry. You want to have friends, just like everyone else.
Knowing how to stop, or slow down, the continuous assaults on you and the
way you think can be only beneficial to your well being.

And, your well being is what it's all about.

You're doing it again, John. It doesn't matter. There aren't a half
dozen guys here I'd want to meet up with for "friendship" related
purposes. None of the jackals are on that list. In fact, the worst
offenders are in the old Bozo Bin and it is easy enough to put Reggie
and the other jackals back in there.

What is it I'm 'doing again, John'? What doesn't matter? Your well being?
Yes it does. When you made the complaint to Tim, it was obvious that you
were hurting and flailing about, trying to hurt anyone.

I don't know any jackals. I think there are some in the National Zoo.
Surely you aren't referring to people with names like that. That would be
adolescent behavior, the kind that is getting you in trouble.
