(Note, the numbers have changed since I first documented Simpson's obsession in a Backsass post here: http://mybacksass.blogspot.com/2013/10/disturbing-flagger-obsession.html There have been seven new Crossroads posts about, or mentioning, the VaFlaggers since the beginning of November.)
What accounts for this obsession? For this relentless barrage of attempted harassment and persecution? Is he clinically obsessed? I somebody paying him? What explains it?
Let's hear your opinions in answer to this question: What have the Virginia Flaggers done to Brooks D. Simpson that would justify, or even account for, his obsessive posting about them? (Extra points given for those who also explain the negatives in his post -- for example, his lies, accusations and generally being out of touch with reality -- "disturbing Confederate graves," Tripp Lewis child abuse, Susan's "red tops"...)
(Note: I've permanently put this list of Simpson obsession posts at the bottom of the left sidebar.)
