Should I or shouldn't I

I find myself perplexed by slight dilemma over the last week or so. I'm trying to decide whether or not to drop one of the permanent links on my page.

The problem is not lack of talent or technical ability. The author is extremely adept at conveying themselves through the written medium. Quite often, their posts flow beautifully. They take pride what they have to say as well as their ability to relate it. Such a glowing determination is not even a personal conceit, since they are quite popular. It would be safe to say the author has become a bit of a literary celebrity. They are gaining some income from their efforts, which I believe is something that brings a little glow of emotion for anyone who slaves over the uncaring keyboard for hours at a time because they enjoy it. A dash of envy and a good dose of joy that something positive is coming back with all they have put into it comes to the fore when I think of this person. So no, the current question of whether to yank them from my list of blogs does not arise out of sloppiness or foundering commitment.

The issue pressing on my thoughts is the growing certainty that in regards to interpersonal relationships, the bitch is flat-out bug-fuck crazy. Sure they can spin out a very entertaining and engaging tale of their past or reflections upon the present, but is it more important to me to provide entertaining links or connections to people who are a little less delusional? So far, I have been undecided.

I'm sure there are a few of you wondering why I would bequeath the unflattering moniker of bunny-boiling insane upon this poor person. Should you read back through their archives to those instances where they mention other people in relation to themselves and divorce yourself from the evocative wording to focus solely on the bare bones of what happened, a trend will emerge. The person of current interest is unavailable in one or more ways. This causes the author to undergo a period of angst. Author then attempts to make PoCI available in the ways they desire them to be. When this fails, author sulks and catalogs that person's perceived deficiencies until they've firmly affixed the fatal flaw for why things did not work out upon the former PoCI's shoulders.

The development that brought this all to a head for me was an alleged dissolution of the latest romantic entanglement. I use the term "alleged" because the coverage thereof was replete with all the hand-wringing, waffling, and big ol' guilt-iced angst-cookies of a fourteen year old girl. Of course most of the focus was upon how the author's maybe ex failed to live up to expectations. Somehow it seems that the author's own contributions implicit in why the issue arose and blew up into the author's newest life trauma have been treated as perfectly understandable and really shouldn't be considered as problems.

It has been stated that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This particular author is indeed doing just that; hammering on the same emotional buttons and hoping that this time it will yield a storybook ending.

The idea that irks the flaming fondant out of me is that someone might interpret my linking to that person's site as an endorsement of that type of behavior. I don't. In fact, strenuously object to anyone over the age of majority mucking about like some emo-muppet. I enjoy reading their posts, but I no longer give any credence to what they have to say in terms of relationships.

Comments are doubly welcome on this one, I'm quite curious to hear what other folks might think about this. All I ask is that if you have a guess as to who I might be considering, please don't use their name. Identity is immaterial to the issue and would serve only to make this seem a personal attack.
