I'm trying to hold back, thinking that BA could be one of my sons..he's their age..

BUT..they were prolly in da clubs last night..and are still asleep..

I don't know if that's GOOD or BAD..LOL..

Seriously, those boys have done things that I'm not proud of..but have done things that I'm very proud of...

SO THERE...some LOVE came out anyways...


I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

If my son, age 25, came on this forum and stalked people and gave them misleading advice, I would kick his [censored]. He sure would not get my sympathy for harming people. He would get a foot up his hind end.

BA knows that he doesn't have MY SYMPATHY..

I've been talking to HIM on here...

This is MY OPINION..

I don't think being PUNITIVE is HELPFUL..that's ME...I own that..

I hope he LEARNS something and doesn't move from here and continue in HIS WAYS...

He is YOUNG enough to turn his life around despite his WRONGDOINGS...

As we well know, even more mature adults CHANGE after being BAD and are FORGIVEN...

Yes BA, I wish you well. I appreciate you coming clean with us here. I appreciate your good intentions and your concern. I understand and appreciate your desire to exit with dignity, and your concern for Orchid and others.

I hope that the things you've learned here will help you to never NEED this place. Best wishes.

I don't think granting well wishes to someone who has stalked and tormented a board, without remorse, is HELPFUL. It is inappropriate, IMO. I reserve my well wishes for those he HARMED.

Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business.

I happen to agree with JustUss, and choose for myself to wish him well.

I am not telling YOU who to wish well.

Jayne, did you happen to read my OTHER QUOTE?

I find it interesting to quote Ayn Rand and the Bible back to back.

Just interesting, that's all. Nothing more.

Jayne, I am sure the stalker troll, BA, appreciates your well wishes. Too bad you couldn't have afforded that same support to his victims. He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 17:15

He must have deleted it himself.

Uhhh, ok. I believe ya. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sorry Mel. I'm watching FOOTBALL! There are more important things in life than the departure of a troll from MB.

GO PACK!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How do you know I didn't?

When smb and tst left, I was too afraid to post anything to them here. The environment was far too hostile. Over the holidays things seemed to improve. (thanks mods!)

Here's hoping this board remains helpful and not hurtful.

Jayne,

Please believe is never too hostile to support victims. I was a victim as a child

no one stood for me

they were afraid of the criminals.

and those who supported the criminals.

so i stood alone


and I left home.

I.

left.

HOME.

There was no support for me there.






Perhaps your support towards tst and smb could have made a difference


to THEM.

Instead, unfortunately, what I truly believe I saw happen here was support for the person who inflicted the pain. And a rush by many to essentially say, "It's okay. EVERYONE is okay. EVERYONE is good. There is no right or wrong, we can smooth it over."

I believe in right and wrong, having been at the receiving end of

wrong

too many times in my life. Wrong exists. It existed in this case, and despite the attempts to ice it up pretty and call it birthday cake, it isn't a cake and it remains

a wrong.
