I know some of you believe that my prior apologies are inadequate and half-hearted. So, I've dedided to make it right this time without any excuses.

Orichid: I apologize for capturing your contact information. I shouldn't have done it. Thank you for defending me numberous times by the way, despite what I've done to you. I know you (and JustUss, among others) took lots of beating for what you did.

schoolbus: I apologize for using schoolbus1. I shouldn't have done it.

SMB: I apologize for not respecting your request to not to post to you anymore. (This is the exception that I was refering to). I hope, as a Christian woman, you can accept my apology.

tst: I apologize for targetting you. I shouldn't have done it. (My posting to you falls under the same category as the exception listed above).

tst and SMB have LEFT because of your stalking, BA. How about showing you are sincerely remorseful and do the same?

No, it is not false, they have left because of you.

Now, will you show your sincerity and leave this forum alone? Have you not caused enough dissension here?

--------------------
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 17:15

Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
Isaiah 5:20


****** where does forgiveness by God for repentant sinners fit within the attitude you are displaying here?

Where does forgiveness by us to a repentant sinner fit?

You don't have to like the sinner in order to be forgiving, do you?

Apologies expected and demanded have been delivered. The future will show the sincerity or insincerity of the repentance, will it not?

People have LEFT the system for a variety of reasons, including perceptions of being "bullied" my several member who are still on the system and who continue to post. Would you also advocate that ANYONE who "caused" someone else to leave should themselves leave the system?

Where, I guess is what I asking you, is it that you would draw the line on who "should" leave the system and who should not?

"I am sincerely sorry, remorseful, and repent of my actions that caused you such enormous pain that you feel like you want to divorce me and run away. But if you are willing to try, I am willing to show you that I CAN change and I can become a vital partner to our marriage."

"Tough, dear WS, leave, you've hurt me too much and I don't want to give you a second chance."

IS there a place for forgiveness and reconciliation? Is there are place for rebuilding love and trust from the ashes that preceded the attempt?

You are bigger than your anger ******. I've seen it before in you and in your postings.

***** where in repentence does the stalker continue to STALK? His behavior is not repentant. He is still here today posting to people and getting edited just as before. If he were truly repentant, he would LEAVE.

He has been banned 20 times and simply makes up a new name and comes back. That is repentance? Sorry, but it is not. That is spitting in the face of board management and this board in general.

He has actually RUN OFF newcomers from this board by stalking them, and does not care. If he cared he would LEAVE. SMB and tst have LEFT THIS BOARD.

Now, if he were truly repentant, which he is not, I would certainly forgive him. But he still should not be posting here. We can forgive the bankrobber, that does not mean we give him the keys to the bank. THAT is how a Christian behaves.

And yes, I am angry, so should every person be at the conflict this stalker has inflicted on this board.

I choose to support FORUM MEMBERS instead of a stalking TROLL, in other words. Hopefully, others will too. SMB and tst deserve our support, this troll does not.

BA, I will ask again:

Will you show that you are SINCERE about your apology and leave the forum for good? And stop disrespecting the mods by evading their bans?

AGREED!

BA has stalked and caused to leave two members that NEEDED this board...Why in the world would his WANT to be here supercede their NEED? BA has given us no reason to believe that he NEEDS to be here...His sense of ENTITLEMENT is shocking...His "apology" is half-hearted at best...All he did was REGURGITATE words that were fed to him in his "apology" anyway-not very sincere AT ALL-I would liken this "apology" to a WS that said "sorry" but still remained in contact with the OP-not exactly repentant, huh? The level of disrespect that he has shown this board is perverse!

BA,

I accept your apology. I realize this was hard to do. Unfortunately posting here for you is not as safe as it should be. For that I apologize.

Still you can benefit from the information here. Read the books from Dr. Harley (SAA, HNHN, etc.). Read the concept section above and take the questionnaires.

Remember you can only really control yourself. Interaction with others are dependent on how both parties act and react.
Don't expect everyone to like or dislike you from this point forward. Learn to take the good from what you see and experience and implement them in your life as best as you can. As for the bad actions or statements from others..... discard them.


Sometimes despite best intentions, things go awry. It could be due to many things like, miscommunication due to misinterpretations, cultural communication differences, language barriers, not getting the correction or complete information etc.

Learn what the primary reasons may be and move forward, working hard on not repeating mistakes like this again.

Realize that on the internet, we can't always tell if all the communication challenges exist for a poster and sometimes the impression one gives may appear rude when it is actually a language limitation. It is not wrong to let others know if you are posting in a language that is not your 1st. I don't know if this is part of the problem, I just wondered if it might be.

While sharing one's story is not a requirement at MB, it is often done as a courtesy for it helps us give support to the poster.

There maybe another posting environment that will be better for you. I hope you find it and do well.

Sincerely,
L.

Does this apology extend to maggiemagster, SMB and tst? They left the board because they didn't feel safe.

It's raining this weekend, and it's cold outside (for So. Cal).

I thought I'd work on my computer 2day where it's warm and comfy.

But then I noticed that this horse puckey is taking off again.

I'm going 2 go outside and work on the Model A in the rain. It's warmer, and more comfy.

I don't think we can blame BA or his defenders for that, please don't get carried away here.

Perhaps you could save your agenda for another thread?
