  Constructive feedback for AAWA leadership (IMHO)

  by besty in

  1 - reconsider your existence - there might be a reason why the most effective resources to date have been solo efforts.

  2 - recognize that even well-intentioned organizations will firstly seek self-preservation.

  3 - be aware that egos and emotional stupidity have torn apart much grander edifices than aawa.

  Public Apology Nathan Natas

  by Simon in

  i'd like to offer a public apology to nathan natas for making a wrong decision when i deleted him.. i allowed a combination of previous issues we'd had and input from other forum members to bias my decision which lead me to what i now, in hindsight, believe to have been a mistake.. whether you want to come back and post here or not i wanted to at least say sorry and will reactivate your account..

  Let me be the first to welcome you back Nathan. You didn't know it, but you were a great help to me in those first vulnerable months after leaving the WT. Good to see you again

  Bullies also beat people into submission, either physically or verbally. They use insults on a large stage to belittle a person so that anything they say is scoffed at and derided by the majority for fear that they might become targets of bullies too. Its called verbal intimidation. This is what certain posters on this board do.

  Now, what happened with NN? Was it AAWA related? Or was cedars at fault here too?

  Still thinking.

  I never said i was called a whore, but it was implied by ceders being referred to as my pimp. Read!!!

  There is a real culture of cyber bullies on here. God help anyone if they express an alternative to the popular opinion on here, theyre shot down in flames!

  Is that what happened to NAthan NAtas? Was ceders the popular opinion at the time and NN said something different to to what was currently in vogue?

  No really, what happened with NN? I liked him. Was he involved with AAWA ?

  You know what? You are a hurtful, cruel bunch of unkind people. I don't deserve this. This has upset me.

  Enough.

  I didn't need an admittance Simon as far as im concerned the matter was finished with this morning, now i recieve a load of insults for what was over and done with hours ago - go figure? Im not trying to derail anything, just defending myself against this onslaught of personal insults - is that allowed?

  Thank you Besty for apologising on behalf of others - you're a gent!

  I think you're stupid, illiterate, and overall, a fartface who deserves no respect at all.

  My criticism of Simon's response to Cedars on this thread is self evident. He used profanity in his frustration in dealing with Cedars, something that he wouldn't allow from other posters. Yet he feels its ok to do himself.

  So I call him up on it. I call him a potty mouth, rude, arrogant (for thinking he isn't subject to the same rules the rest of us are) and I call him a hypocrite (for thinking we have to obey the rules but he doesn't)

  In other words I provided evidence for my criticism.

  Where is your evidence for the personal criticism of me? So far, for stating my opinion, I have been called stupid, illiterate, a fartface and it was suggested I am a whore. You forgot mentally diseased. Are you sure you dont write for the Watchtower? Ad hominem statements at their best. You disappoint me.

  Wha' happened. Do I know you?

  What are you talking about? And what have I done to warrant the suggestion that I am a whore? Wow! thats nasty. Please apologise for your rudeness.

  And if I have offended Fizzy, I'm sure he doesn't need you to defend him.
