Sam: ps. I am really not looking foreward to getting into all that about Barney and Joseph and Joshuah except to say that Barney and I go a long way back.
Joseph: I don't blame you for not looking forward to that. It's one of the things that really hurt your reputation and credibility. And, it was all you. I just stood there and pointed my finger at it and said, "Look what this guy did!".
Sam: One who is not familiar with all the backround information, Barney's central role in things for many years, not much unlike your cental role in things now Jules, could not really understand why I felt the urgency to post that e-mail from Josh about Barney on this website.
Joseph: One of the things that bothers me about that whole experience, is that I really don't think you understand what got you in such hot water in the first place. It wasn't posting Joshua's email here, it was posting MY email to you telling you reasons why you should stop posting Joshua's email here. There was a very sensitive situation going on at that time, that involved a minor, and you exposed it to the public. In my opinion, you did that out of some kind of vendetta against Barney. In my opinion, you were so excited about the chance to expose Barney, that you didn't care that you might have put a minor in harms way. Friends of yours kept emailing me during that whole mess, telling me to lighten up on you, that you said you were sorry, and you knew you had screwed up. But, none of that was true. Your posts in recent days are very clear on this subject. You are after The Family, and you don't care whom your process hurts as long as you get The Family. This reminds me of the kind of thinking that brought about Waco. I agree, the abuse must end, but the way you appear to be going about it has the potential to damage innocent people, and that appears to be acceptable to you. If you run this thing like some kind of Jihad, people are going to look at you, and treat you like you are some kind of a crank. If you want to be taken seriously, I would suggest you listen to what people here are saying and re-evaluate your position on some things.
