Thanks for the response Joseph!
I do not support name calling or personal attacks on others. I try to be considerate but sometimes I blow it, like the ongoing debate Widdle Guy and I have but I think that is isolated behaviour as we know each other from 73 and we have some history to deal with.
I also am not discounting your issues. I just had to clarify the nature of the disorder you were discussing. Forgive me as I dwell on all the psych stuff in my job every day and see many disordered behaviours.
I don't think it is OK to be ridiculed. I actually think it is unproductive and distracts from the point of discussion and is not respectful of the person.
I don't disagree with you Joseph, that others have been personal in their attacks on others, including yourself. I don't like to see it as it causes unreasonable rifts in the fabric of our interactions together. It also makes me sad sometimes as we all have experienced stress and pain, including you, over the family.
I certainly do not consider you an infidel. As far as I am concerned you have a right to interact with us all. In a sense you are an ex-member by your relationship and term on this board I think. To be completely honest I think you may push buttons a wee bit too hard at times but we all can fall into that pattern. I think we have to teach ourselves how to respond more kindly to each other. Being a passionate and opinionated person I have to bite my typing fingers at times, particularly when posts punch a few of my buttons!
I don't view you as a pedophile or abuse supporter cause you have an ongoing relationship with a family member. My issue is that if this individual is in official family PR or leadership person they darn well know the score. In addition, I have been in or observing the family since 1972 and they have a long history of using others like yourself. I say this not to castigate you but I am very suspicious of the ability of the tiger to change its ways. Who knows you may be able to help them when they fall or the reality of Berg's legacy hits them. I trust and hope you and your family are wise enough to watch out for yourselves. The family plays hardball all the time and they are always in uniform and on the "field", just like the Borg.
Anyways I hpoe there are no hard feelings as my points really are not personal but pertain to the issues raised in posts.
Sincerely
Rocky
