Not annoyed at all - just quietly listening.

On the net, dishonest personal PR is a big danger and can mislead
an all-too-trusting person in making commitments too fast and without
thorough information, which later turn out to be very expensive
in terms of life force, time and/or money.

I am not talking about myself alone, I also have seen other
stories. One of them, where several kids were involved when the
parents enthusiastically moved in order to support a processing
activity, was really dramatic.

Personal experiences, first-hand reports about people whose PR
is very glossy can often help to get a picture which is nearly
as good as a personal contact.

In case of Tommy, whom I have never met, I have read both very
positive and very negative reports, plus his own communication.
These three things together are a really valuable database. Each
of the comm particles gives me a pixel (=dot in an image), and yes,
together they make a picture!

I would wish that such reports are not considered to be 3rd party
but the attempt to inform others of the insights somebody has had
about his meeting with another person.

Of course the reports should be true. If, on the other hand, they
are lies, then the person involved has a chance to see them or
hear about them, and correct the false data.

Such lie pixels are valuable too, if they are used to combine
the picture not of the person about whom the lies have been spread,
but the picture of the liar...
