My reasons go much deeper than that. If you don't believe me, I don't
much care. Did what e said about me hurt? Yes. If you get your jollies
knowing that e, fine. You said I flamed you in your intro thread. My
post in there was 20 letters long. You call that flaming? You, who come
from somewhere where you rant and rave? I'm surprised. I hate
to bring Peg's name into this, but look at the time stamps on the posts.
At 6:13 she welcomed you, at 6:33 she withdrew it. Well before my 20
letter post. Was I incorrect? Possibly. Not a nice thing to do? Probably
not. But YOUR post to me in that same thread was far worse than me
incorrectly answering someone's question. And after not very much time
had passed, the ol' Val self-esteem kicked in and I was okay, with the
support of some very, very dear people.
As to bds, he had at least a couple chances to make me question
myself. Early last Sunday morning, I sent him a pm. He didn't reply
to it, which means I'm well within the TOS posting it here: "You can't
fool ALL of the people ALL of the time, j-low." And 3 of these:
Show of hands: Who wouldn't have responded with at the very least,
one of these:
oh-so convenient emoticons? Were I to go to anotherboard, I would have. So much for my angry and accusatory pm, eh?
Here is my post in his fussy eaters thread:

Makes life and death decisions, this is too much for him? And what did he do? Apparently,
although I have no proof, he races over to post a photo of himself. To
try and throw me off the track. I posted in that thread, but removed it
upon a re-think and a wish to give someone benefit of the doubt. THEN
what does he do? He gets an idea somebody is on to him and flees, just
like j would have done. But, wait a minute, he had to fill those propane
tanks, right? First sending in his cavalry of one.
Felinessa, bless her heart, thought the writing style was very similar.
rap even questioned herself. For the rest of you, here are links to a
couple of "stories":
First, j's juggernaut.

Again, show of hands, you tell me if those writing styles aren't VERY
similar.
IF bds is not j, IF he isn't even a j cohort, which I still doubt, he was
surely a person intent on creating trouble. He showed his true colors
afterwards. All I was doing was trying to avoid people here getting that
sick feeling in their gut when they were played for a fool. Some number
of you have seen the j apology thread, well you saw BR, myself, Snooze,
Clancy, we all accepted that apology. And we were kicked in the teeth
for our trouble. marie highlighted the wrong parts of that apology. But
perhaps she can be forgiven that. She has apparently been sucked right
in. marie, you say you weren't here for all that went on, well you were
here for the j twisting the knife in BR's back, and you call yourself BR's
friend, how could you? If by some chance you DID miss the knife, here
'tis again:

That's your lovely friend you've been supporting, dear gullible one.
And j is called in here to corroborate something - oh GREAT choice, simply
BRILL. He lied his very first post back here. But no, when he posted
that snarky comment back on July 18th, he must have finally gotten
some grief from people who were fed up with it and him. Disappear for
6 weeks, let things die down, create a whole scenario conquering hero
return with your good swede buddy bds, and voila! In like Flynn. I wasn't
the only one to see and know his lie. In his apology he said something
to the effect of he wasn't a coward any more, well blimey, he sure took
off after his stab to BR, which I had to quote now didn't I? Am I
paranoid? Don't think so but if you do, have at it.
Forgive? Gee, while we're at it, let's just forgive ol' Charlie Manson, too.
I can hear all the gasps now. It's a matter of degree, yes. But heck,
he's probably sorry and I'm sure he won't do it again! :rolleyes: For me,
it's the same thing with j. A lot of you guys are like women who
marry a smooth talker and whoopsie! later find out he's a bigamist
who's absconded with all your funds. Nice. You can get sucked in,
I won't.
You guys think (marie in particular) that dear j was making amends in
BR's thread. No he wasn't, he was leaving a pile of you-know-what
in a lovely thread, kicking her when she was down. He wouldn't dare
do that if she was here. He burned his bridges with her and many of
the rest of us looooong ago.
The ignore function doesn't work for me. Right now, I would need to
put about half of the regular users on my ignore list. And I would
still have to see their user id's, and still have to see when someone
quoted them.
And here *I* will support a friend... there's been a lot of talk about
Snooze and her actions. Take another look at the fussy eaters thread.
(I know there's a link in here somewhere!
) She saw what I posted,and one SINGLE emoticon from her. Remarkable restraint shown,
wouldn't you say?
I think I'm going to give up my sword and my shield. (Don't use a
pitchfork except for the obvious ) I'm pretty much done trying
to prevent pain around here. Will I take them up again? Maybe.
Then again, maybe not. You're on your own. If you want to support
mister Abe Lincoln was my ancestor, gotta pawn an amplifier to
buy some milk I have secret passages... you're on your own from
here on out.
And here's the nuking the KMart story. Just for fun:
