I have to add this bit of dialog from TPoS - someone, somewhere said stalking another ought not be critical of the other, or point out weaknesses.
TPoS wrote:"I'm not that bad, don Juan," I said. My voice sounded surprisingly unnatural to me.
"Oh, yes, you are that bad," he said with a serious expression.
"You are petty, wasteful, opinionated, coercive, short-tempered, conceited. You are morose, ponderous, and ungrateful. You have an inexhaustible capacity for self-indulgence. And worst of all, you have an exalted idea of yourself, with nothing whatever to back it up.
"I could sincerely say that your mere presence makes me feel like vomiting."
