who, I've been restrained and oddly polite to you about this, but you're acting like a willful child at this point. I explained to you that TSW moved the thread to his moderated forum to get away from the trolling. You've never been an overt troll, you present yourself as a rational adult who happens to think ASR is a lifesaver and a humdinger of a program. That's like...your opinion, man, and on Troubled Teen, you can defend that opinion, attack naysayers, whatever.
We've got program survivors answering questions about PV, and these kids are going back to hellish times because they hope they can prevent other kids from going through what they did. I also take a very personal interest in one of the PV survivors. Actually, I take an interest in all three of them because I've talked with them all extensively. I like them and respect the guts they're showing by recounting events they would probably rather forget, but can't. One of these respondents I would give my life for because...family is that way.
DYS and I had a long talk on the phone on St. Patrick's day...DYS is doing so well, and I think he's working hard to prove the PV clinical staff wrong about the dismal future they predicted for him. If a motivational speaker is needed to lecture to high school kids on the evils of RTC's, Die Yuppie scum is the guy to do it. He has his own business and still has all the friends PV told him would desert him quickly.
I don't expect compassion from you, who.. What do you care, you've made your position clear over and over. We all pledged to ignore you at one point, but you've become a bit childish toward TSW. Psy is right, PM TSW and work it out away from the Facility thread where something is being accomplished, info is being gathered that I can send on to some sympathetic Tennessee politicos and mental health watchdogs.
Let's break it down for you, who:
The Troubled Teen Industry
Compliance is not character. Weakness is not strength. Regression is not growth. "Tough love" leads to tough hate. Time for some straight talk about the Troubled Parent Industry.
This is an uncensored, unmoderated forum where all viewpoints are both welcome and fair game for debate. It's a snap-shot of the Teen Help industry, and there's nothing inspiring or heart-warming about it. It's pretty damned ugly. Enter at your own risk.

Now TSW's forum:
Facility Question and Answers
If you have questions we will answer them to the best of our abilities in a polite and rational manner. If you have insults please feel free to collect your jar of free boot cream at the door after you get launched into never neverland.

You may feel offended by the gorilla glaring from your thread on Troubled Teen. Live with it, you know the rules there.
TSW's asking PV kids questions that I don't think anyone has asked them before, and the answers they're giving have made TSW and I cringe. I can speak for one of the respondents, she's glad to offer up details of PV's abuses because she hopes we can do something useful with the information. We could share it with HEAL, CAFETY, anywhere it can be seen and maybe cause a few parents to disregard the idea of a PV placement.
TSW, despite his often gruff remarks on Troubled Teen, is slowly taking these PV survivors through difficult questions, and despite your childish anger toward TSW for his alleged involvement in slipping a primate picture onto "your thread", TSW is showing compassion to these young adults and it's clear he respects the guts they've shown in answering these disturbing questions about abuse and answer them thoroughly.
TSW is helping these kids talk through their nightmares. I know one young lady answering who is noticeably a little lighter in spirit since the Q+A started.
So who, as much as you bear a grudge toward TSW, he's being productive. What are you doing now, what have you ever done but agitate posters and backtrack when you get called on lying?
I don't want to fight with you, and I'm abstaining from delivering some heartfelt and profane opinions I have concerning your character. During the time I pledged to ignore you, I did. I avoided you, you never presented anything of interest, just the program party-line spiel: "My kid would have been dead or in jail without (insert Behavior Modification pit of your choice.) "My kid refused to honor my house rules," (perhaps your rules were draconian and stifling to the young teen)
If you're just a troll who's been bullshitting us for ages, at least have compassion for the PV survivors being interviewed. You come crashing into a forum we're trying to keep moderated and free of people with an agenda of the likes of you. Die Yuppie Scum will end up viewing you as a parental disease. He doesn't scare, PV was so bad he managed to work his way out by doing what PV wanted him to do. PV failed.
I'm not expecting compassion from you, just your quiet apology and promise to stay out of threads where kids are re-visiting a shithole in their minds they managed to escape.
TSW is pro-active in addressing the abuses in facilities like PV, and ending them.
Again, what is your function, who?
