I listen to you. I was only answering to Steve who I respect too. I have no time for Caspian or whatever he has done, never did, never will. Seems to me he has messed up big time. I was talking consequences of actions only.

I understand Scoob. And it's all good.
I know from where you were coming from, my only point was that there are other issues going on that aren't immediately apparent.
BTW, I miss seeing your posts.
Jst2: With all due respect I thing that when someone posts a thread titled:Sincere Apology it should in fact be that.
Scoob,
You are so wrong HS being "duped" has alot to do with "ego". You see that is what is hurt when one feels "duped". Being "duped" is what many here felt they were hence the battering of their "ego" or even if you like "self worth" its much the same thing.
Scoob, you throw out generalizations like black confetti and speak as if you have a clue as to what is running through the minds of everybody who has ever felt violated by somebody who has misused them. I note however that you present no evidence for this but your own opinion. Broadspeak is a common failing among those who have never tested their views against a reality.
What follows has nothing to do with Caspian, but all to do with your assertions. Are you for example saying that it is 'ego' and not a sense of justice that impels evrybody on this planet to want to see a somebody who may have lied to them bought to book? Or is this 'ego' scenario that you discuss just one that you feel applies to XJW's and women who have been led astray on this Board?
Incidentally, 'self-worth' and 'ego' have about as much in common in the conciousness of personality as John F. Kennedy and virginity. I can understand though that it must be hard to think straight when the vetinary loses his thermometer and has to use a stick barometer instead...
What you didn't understand was that I was replying to Steves post about the anger showed towards Caspian
Of course I understood this. I read your post, though I suspect that you misread mine which dealt not with Caspian's alleged 'crimes', but your assertion that people who are conned and lied too, suffer not from the outrage of injustice but do so because their ego is damaged!

Hillary is gonna kick Scooby's ass again..... Get out the popcorn and the M&Ms.
Minimus,
Hillary is gonna kick Scooby's ass again.....
Now, that would be an outrage, kicking an ass with a thermometer in it....

I for one couldn't even begin to use the colouful metaphors and turn of phrases that you use as I'm not that witty or intelligent (as you so graphically pointed out!)
I will say this however, It is my opinion as to what I state on this forum, albeit these days in a reduced capacity. Maybe I do throw out generalisations (like black confetti? oh my!!) but I certainly wouldn't begin to speak for what is running through the minds of the majority here. I only speak from my perspective as to how I see things from my little world looking out. I think seceretly thats what we all do.We see a thread and try to guage the feel of it and then post as we feel. They are my assertions, but at the end of the day they are after all only my feelings that I project on here. You can call any opinion "BroadSpeak" a failing against those who may have not tested it against a reality. But then who's reality are we talking of here? Yours? Mine? Someone elses? Who gets to say that its a failing? You? Me? Someone else? Who?
Please read again what I posted and don't get caught in the mire of what Caspian might or might not have done, that wasn't my issue. You are comparing my reasoning on that basis.
I've always understood "Ego" to relate to something inside thats relates to "self worth" Both get hurt, dented, bashed, and conversley, praised exhalted and flattered. I'm not saying they are the same exact human emotion, but they are sure linked close.
I see your "Ego" more prominent than others here. Maybe you are right, but then maybe you might be wrong. The good thing is you were able to give your view as you saw in your own reality.

I understand that there is a lot of anger, frustration, and hurt feeling going on about Caspian. Although there are no excuses for his behavior, my heart goes out to him for being a simple human being much like ourselves. I completely agree with Dave, there are certain reasons behind this kind of behavior. Those of us who are not therapist will never know why some people do the things they do. If it is mental help or counseling that Caspian needs to help during his transition into the "real" world, then I hope he gets it. There are much worser cases than what has happened with Caspian with much more traumatic results . This is just proof to how vulnerable we all really are.
Caspian,
If you are reading these posts, I wish you the best of luck in your transition and may you find the answers and the help that you need. I will send my blessings to you and wish you happiness.
