Mrs. W...I hope your daughter is okay.

Thanks for asking MEDC! She's gonna be fine of course...Mama worries yanno...It was a "burst" rather than a "cut" from the sheer force of the blow-the classroom floor was slippery, when she fell she hit her forehead on a desk...12 stitches...She's home resting comfortably now...phew![/threadjack]

Mrs. W

great...glad to hear she is home and resting. Those blows to the head can be scary!

MrsW, please give her a kiss for me! Poor girl! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Um, okey dokey. Yet another user who shows up out of the blue just to make comments, but whatever....you're welcome to share who you are when you're ready.

Heartpain, the mods have not said this is not a troll. They have said they do not believe this is TST or SMB's OP. Big difference.

And TST, that "apology" and half-hearted non-attempt to stop posting to you is creepy. Still.

The only thing that would have been good was, "I am sorry for posting to TST and SMB when they asked me not to. I will not do it again."

After all the shenanigans that have gone on, even addressing this non-apology to you was disrespectful. And truly, it was neither an apology nor a promise to stop posting.

If you don't put them on ignore physically, at least do so mentally. Don't even acknowledge them again, is my advice.

Umm, okee dokee...Where did they say this? I must have missed it.

MY point was that *some* investigation has been done by a *real* authority figure on the board. The result of that investigation, as far as we, the public, know was that BA(or whomever) has not been booted from the scene. That may happen at a later date, or it may not.

The non-apology to me also didn't count in my book. It was a superficial attempt to "apologize" while not accepting full responsibility for bad behavior, openly and honestly.

We await the general apology to the members on the board community.

Because this person, who has changed usernames for reasons yet to be disclosed, has certainly caused much discontent and distress.

He-she-it has acted disrespectfully to several members, and as meremortal points out, at this point does leave many questions on the table, still.

And yes, IWRA.

All the "BA's" dont have a story. In fact no one knows if they have a marriage at all.

Can you guys imagine how it would be if we put all the BA's on ignore at one time!?

Here, I will be the first one. If we all do it, and if more pop up we can shift them to "ignore" immediately.

Soon, BA will get tired of posting if everyone is ignoring the BehAvior.

WE CAN DO THIS! AS A GROUP ON MB WE HAVE GREAT AMOUNTS OF POWER BUT ALONE WE DON'T. LETS GET TOGETHER AND DO IT.

FWIW Schoolbus, it is my opinion that BA owes you a direct apology*******edit********

Whenever we do something wrong, are convicted of our sin, there should be only one response; repentance, confession, and asking for forgiveness. That means no "ya, but's" are allowed. Repentance does not include "ya, buts" if you understand what I'm trying to say. "Ya, buts" take away from the sincerity of the apology, if not render the apology a "non-apology."

Neither is using justifiable hurt feelings and managled emotions "valid" reasons ("ya, but...") for returning "hurt for hurt." There has been far too much of that on the system by many, not just by BA. Mea culpa.

How does one find this "new" "updated" information?
Under which of the many names is considered your "original post"?

*********edit*********

Thanks, FH.

I agree that apologies come with straight language, no qualifying phraseology to follow.

Just, "I'm sorry for __________".

BA needs to start with that simple stuff first.

I would like to know the story, though. Because as we at MB know, the avoidance of a d-day really does no good for relationships.

And this avoidance of telling us the truth has eroded the relationship between the members and BA. I believe the only way for BA to make any steps toward credibility at this point is to answer some questions and open up some dialogue.

Sort of like counseling between a couple - it starts with the WS coming clean, doesn't it?

Doesn't the WS have to, at some point, own what has happened, take responsibility, confess the problem, tell some details, and then the BS can begin to heal?

I see the members here looking for that confession, that apology, that ownership of behavior, BA.

And I see you avoiding it all. You've been given the opportunity to tell us - and we are all ears. No one is standing in judgement at this point. We are trusting Justuss and the administrators on you, they gave you another chance, so here we are, waiting to see what you offer up.

Let's hear your apology, then your story (or at least the bones of it), and let's see if YOU can be helped here.

You came here for a reason. What is it?

SB

"And I see you avoiding it all. You've been given the opportunity to tell us - and we are all ears. "

You on this board have been MORE THAN FAIR with this TROLL. And VERY responsive. But it is a TROLL. What can you expect?

NOTHING!

One more time, Stella, Justuss has investigated and determined that BA is NOT a "troll." It would behoove you to stop using that term and take up your disagreement with Justuss directly.

****************edit*************

I am hoping, against hope, that this person really is what Justuss believes him/her/it to be:

worth saving.


BA, I've been strongly pursuing you to apologize and to tell us your story for a reason.

Because I fully believe that if you tell the truth

you just might heal.


Your true story could not be much worse than what I have been through.

So, we await the true story. Redemption does exist, BA. Purely and freely. It actually starts

with brokenness and confession.



SB

Agreed.

************edit**********
So I know full well exactly what you mean, and I agree with it.

God bless.

I suspect that board members putting BA on ignore is why its name keeps changing.
