Chris,
Do you have a way to verify about Lisa?
Hay Diane, I don't remember you yet, but I just wanted to say, Don Pierson should not have been in there IMHO. He was a misbehaver on 1st phase for a long time, and some of the things that went on, I won't even say on the board. He may have been turned into a criminal by straight, but when he entered straight, he was a victim like everyone else. Anyone who remembers Don's first phase knows this to be true! I personally am guilty for assaulting him physically on many occaisions, I was often sat beside newcomers because everyone knew I would "hit back". Staff seemed to love a good fight! Matter of fact, so did most of the group!
I knew that if someone was misbehaving, staff might not notice I was tired that day! Plus confronting kept me awake!?
Anyway, I feel the same about a few people, but inside I know that I cannot heal from the wounds simply by kicking everyone's ass! I've attempted that method, it really does not work! I used to talk about Bruce Lee all the time in group because I love to fight, so I really know how you feel!
I took a lot of shit being there, but i gave a lot as well. Just the fact that I was an oldcomer, dragging people around by the back of their pants, shows that straight got to me. There is no sanity to such methods as that and motivating, or spitting in anyones face.
