Enough already..... A single poster comes on here and posts as all different types of characters, poster names and personalities, even genders!??!?!

It takes time to bring all this out but in time it does come out. In the interim some of us 'waste' time posting to 'someone' we thought was in need. Ok....so they weren't.

Conned....is that it? We were conned? It has happened before right? Here and other experiences in our lives? Ever been ripped off by a conartist via the stock market, salesman, etc.? Not good to the good people in those professions....in fact it makes their job even harder.

Ok....consider all this stuff (posting to those with the 'need' to post as different perosnalities/genders) as a hard lesson learned. Even when SNL used to post under different names, the only loser was SNL. Why? Because he never learned enough to change. Do I regret posting to him, exposing him for what he was or even helping him via MB or even speaking to him and his W directly? NOPE. I don't regret it.

So expect that we may be taken again but in the END, the joke is on the poster who is trying to fool us....WHY? Because of the old adage:
[color:"blue"]You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. [/color]

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

For me, I will post as I see fit. Sometimes I may end up posting to a loser and help a bit, if not them then maybe someone else. The point is I tried my best. With lots of patience, those trying to fool others eventually fool themselves. Be glad u r not the fool. \

To those sharp enough to catch the fools, good. Know that sometimes in that same net we catch innocent ones. Try to show some compassion. ok? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I will also. However, that may mean justified wrath, when I catch the one doing the fooling. That justified wrath can come in different forms, it may be spoken or unspoken, written or not. The one constant is that the fool doesn't want others to know they are a fool. That is knowledge and that is a key. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A doubting fool.....c/b a useful tool <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

take care,
L.

I just figure that those several hundred a day lurkers probably benefited from some of the pearls of wisdom that were cast before sybils.

You know what I think about, Neak?

I think about how impactful the very first poster that posted to me was. I think about how bad off I was and having that poster quiet me down using the MB principles in their response helped me. I think about how I will never forget that poster or their words. And I'm somewhat sure most posters feel the same about their very first response here.

Then I think about the possibility of an imposter (PRO-affair), similar to the latest discoveries, responding to someone on their first post and how that would impact their situation, and I'm not speaking of it being in a positive way. Thats what I think about.

I just would like to put a quick note on this. When I came here a few months ago I was a lost star in a huge universe. You may never be able to help all but the few that you do are very grateful. because of the responses I have received to my post and encouragements I have received from Orchid and others I know it has made me a much stronger father for my children and it also has helped me see that there are still a lot of great people out there that want to help others instead of just themselves (like my WW) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />.

To all of you out there that do post replies to some of us that need help and dont know where to turn i want to say from me and some of the others that need to say it and just dont know how to THANK YOU!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
