  Mod5,

  :Have you thought about the example you are all setting to new ones who may be quesioning the organization? By default, you are making the organization look right about those who leave.

  Speaking of setting an example, why don't you re-read Rick's TWO posts from the last few days. They speak for themselves. I made the information available. Rick didn't have to rant like he did, but he did. You also conveniently forgot to mention the fact that he posted his latest diatribe and then it disappeared from his board.

  I'm utterly pissed off that Rick has this fantasy that a bunch of us are here to "set up" Simon. Those are the rantings of a madman. I'm also pissed off that he thinks we "magically" became "nice" as soon as we started posting over here as if we were engaged in some sort of a conspiracy against him. That's all bullshit from his own paranoid imagination.

  The fact that you are trying to blame ME for him drawing first blood is laughable, and I scoff at you.

  You're blaming me for re-posting what HE wrote, just like he blames me and other like me for the problems on his board. You're two peas in the same pod and you belong together.

  Prisca,

  : Having read the whole of Rick's post, as per what Farkel posted, I don't see a single mention of Farkel's name!

  There were two posts within a few days of each other. Obviously, you haven't read the first one. Rick offered me a truce and I accepted it. I never said another thing about him on this board. He later broke that truce on SEVERAL occassions and slammed me.

  My blood pressure is just fine. However, I don't take kindly to others who blame me and my friends for problems they've caused themselves.

  Besides, I still think that his latest spate of vitriol should be archived, since the last time I checked it was off his board. In the future, when the subject of H20 comes up, people may refer to it.

  I don't really care if this thread dies right now. There is nothing to debate, anyway. Rick is a loose cannon who shoots his mouth off before he can cognate clearly and blames others for the problems he's ultimately responsible for, and that's a fact.

  Farkel, I am not blaming you for what is happening.

  My comments were to all generally, and no one was excluded.

  I didn't attack Rick, I posted a valid point, which Mod5 acknowledged. Rick shot himself in the foot by posting that tripe, we didn't shoot him! Even Mod5 removed the post because of RICK'S POST, not mine. He told me so!

  Not quite Roaming Feline .... When it moved yours got moved automatically.

  Rick can still read your post. The difference between the Deletions Bin and the Trash Bin on H2O is that only Moderators can read what is in the Trash Bin.

  IMHO, it is the utmost bad board behavior to remove a post and put it where only mods can read it, then the forum owner POSTS AN ANSWER TO IT ON THE MAIN BOARD AFTER IT HAS BEEN REMOVED where noone else can read what it said. Bad form!

  I have answered Ricks delusional post accordingly. I hope he gets some help. He sorely needs it.

  Dear Prisca,

  Thank you.

  > Having read the whole of Rick's post, as per what Farkel posted, I don't see a single mention of Farkel's name!

  Thank you.

  > So why post this? I actually thought it was a good explanation by Rick of the development of H2O, and he brought out some good points.

  Thank you.

  You know what hurts the most? There are only a few like you! Few such as yourself take the time to read something thoroughly before commenting on it.

  > Most of the posters on this board are/were not regular posters on H20.

  You are the only other person who will acknowledge this, probably because you are not afraid of the "big bad wolf" as I'm not afraid to state the facts at all costs.

  > It seems to me the ones that make all the fuss and bother about H2O are a certain small group of male posters who formally posted there.

  True.

  > All I am asking for is to let the issue go. Everyone should take a deep breath, turn the computer off, and smell the flowers.
  >
  > There's more to life than the computer screen you are now reading!

  You are a breath of fresh air. Notice I do not care whether you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses, your so-called "standing" in the congregation, or if you never were one. I wish all of those in my faith would feel the freedom in Christ to truly discourse and interact with the real world as Christ admonished his followers to. Having friends who are non-JWs isn't going to give the children on the playground of Watchtower theocracy a form of "theocratic kootie itis"! (LOL)

  Yes, there is more to life than the computer screen, which is why I try limiting my participation. It's ironic that paying an ISP a bill (like Simon does) for the original H2O site at Infonex (cyberpass.com), I get treated like dirt. What did I do to deserve it? (Answer: I helped start H2O; my Austrialian friend Kristin had the vision, and I had the "brawn" of the network admin. needed to launch the operation into cyberspace.)

  Perhaps you could email me, we could converse offline (or maybe sometime I'll catch you in ICQ). Maybe you can give me some words of wisdom on various issues.

  P.S. Are you really logging on from the REAL Vatican City? I know that probably sounds like a dumb question, but I would seriously like to know. :-)

  Lee Elder said, "The availability of different and varying JW discussion groups is a positive in my view."

  I completely agree. I'm glad Simon's site came on the scene. It makes it all that more expensive and impractical for "Mother" to launch a legal attack to shutdown the many forums. It's also healthy for diversity to exist, with different groups having each their own personality and individuality. (And individuality is something sorely lacking in the unreformed "Borg"!)

  You are in my prayers, may your efforts succeed in saving many lives from making sacrifices God is too loving to expect.

  To Derrick, How ya doing Rick?

  > Rick offered me a truce and I accepted it.

  Yep. We even smoked the proverbial peace pipe together.

  > I never said another thing about him on this board. He later broke that truce on SEVERAL occassions and slammed me.

  Never to my recollection have I slammed you after our "truce." I recall mentioning names as examples of what I didn't want to see, and if you took exception to this, then I apologize for insulting you.

  I'm almost tempted to use a swear word now just to prove that I'm made of flesh and blood, and not the assimilated "Borg" that you seem to consider me as!

  I appreciated Prisca's words of wisdom because she sees the human suffering going on behind BOTH sides of the fence, and she also reads posts VERY CAREFULLY. If I'm too verbose for you to have time to read and understand what I write, then why must you comment? I reread posts people used to claim I attacked Simon and other such nonsense and saw nothing of the sort.

  Simon is very blessed to have those like Prisca who care enough to look behind the words of what people write, and not try to put the most heinous interpretation to what is meant.

  Oftimes I write something that is meant as totally innocent and yet it ignites others in a chain reaction. It's as if I threw a lit torch down a Saudi oil well! The whole area is ablaze with explosions straight out of Hollywood! It's as if a written word that is misinterpreted on these forums has the power of a hydrogen bomb if given it that power.

  I'm just fine, Lilacs, and yourself? :-)

  I'm fine also. Nice to see you posting here. By the way, I used to post on H2O under luv2shari. I changed names because some people took the name other than I intended.
  Well, off to bed. Night all.
