Does your wife know you are this obsessed with another person, namely me, a real live man even though his name is “Bowser”? Would it bother her that you want to be just like me? Do you care that might embarrass her? Does she even care any more?

This is the stuff of stalkers. You might want to get a grip, if only for your family. This much passion wasted in this manner has to detract from what would be important to most people.

If I were you, I might pay a bit more attention to your family. I notice your vocabulary improves from time to time, and attribute that to your wife’s influence. You might want to talk with her a bit more, if she has any interest in that, and spend less time on me. Among other things, you could profitably ask what’s the difference between a discussion of issues, and what’s “ad hominem”.

For instance, this post is a discussion of the issue of your stalking, of your wanting to be just like me, to say what I say, to reason logically as I do (from time to time). It’s not answering an issue-oriented post with an attack on a person.

We all care about you, some more than others, and I’m a bit concerned. I hope you can care for yourself. A bit better, I’m afraid, than you have. Drink a bit less, get more rest, that sort of thing. No one smokes any more, so I’m glad you don’t have that to contend with. Your situation looks overwhelming without that problem, too.

Best of luck.
