Funny article

When did he get banned?  Wow.  He must have really spammed it.  I don't think I've ever seen anyone else get banned.  Link to a discussion about it?

"Failure to conform" was the cause of the banning.

Bullshit!!!!  There are plenty of people on here who don't "conform" and no one has ever gotten banned before.  What the fuck are you doing back here?

This is you----> ::bangin:: The guy with the hammer is TheWho.

Anyway...  Since he just admitted it is him posting, please re-ban him and remove his posts.

...You are the epitomy of bad taste, Who. Seriously. You couldn't parent your own child and sent her off to an RTC which, by all accounts, screwed her up worse than she was to being with.....

Now dont you feel better?  You were able to vent.  Now you dont have to spend the rest of the day searching for bridal announcements or other ways to dump your hostility on people trying to make a positive difference in other peoples lives.

Have some decaf tea and reflect on our conversation today.

Why are you back here?

Oh, I'm reflecting alright.  I'm reflecting on just how much of a dumbass you are.  And I'm laughing at the fact that you only respond to the parts of my posts that you want to respond to, because somehow you think that other people won't notice that your arguments hold no merit if you distract from the topic.

And not that it's your business, but I didn't go searching for that bridal announcement.  It popped up in my inbox.  Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can go to Google and type in certain phrases as alerts.  When that phrase is found in the news, you get an email alerting you and linking you to the article.  That is how I keep on top of current HLA news.

On another note, I'd really appreciate it if you stopped telling me what to do.  Don't judge people, don't post PUBLIC INFORMATION, go reflect on our conversation...I mean, your own kid wouldn't listen to you, so what makes you think that I will?

I'm also reflecting on the fact that, in spite of your poor logic and attempts at distraction, the fact remains that HLA hires people who are not qualified to provide counseling to troubled teens.

Here is one article I found regarding Genes and the role they play in alcoholism

I think if we drop all the name calling and hostility, let the dust settle a little we can agree to disagree whether or not HLA is effective for all the kids that go thru their program, but the information brought forth whether thru bridal announcements or HLA’s web site makes it clear that HLA hires and maintains a good staff of people who have degrees in the appropriate fields for the work they do.  
If you look at a cross section of the staff and compare it to industry standards I think you will find that they equal or exceed the national norm.  HLA has joined the ranks of many others in becoming licensed and submitted to oversight by the state.  I have always been on the fence on this issue and I personally don’t see this as a “value added” step, but am aware there are parents who might feel more comfortable knowing there are state controlled checks and balances in place and this will allow HLA to further grow and expand their market share in this area.  But this discussion is probably better off being saved for another thread...... I dont want to drive this off topic.

Sorry if I riled you up, but I just don’t think it is necessary to reach into another’s personal life and extract  information for the purpose of fighting a corporation or business.  Employees need to be insulated from this especially if they don’t have a say in how the ship is steered.  For example if the head of HLA contributes corporate funds to a “Pro-life” group (for example),  I don’t think it would be fair or justified to ridicule or harass all the employees that work there if you happen to disagree with the pro-life position.

Give your actions a day or two to digest; I think you will see what is being said.  No need to apologize to anyone, but just be careful how you treat people ( that you don’t know)  in the future.  You could do harm that your don’t realize or intend to.

besides the obvious fact that this guy is a higher-up at hla, let me pick apart this individual in just a few short sentences. The entire industry is based on archaic ideas and standards, with very little ethical oversight. you may be the "best" or as it was once put "the Harvard of TBSs", but you're still the best of the worst. and last time i checked HLA is not yet fully accredited, not yet properly overseen by the goverment, and is still in cahoots with all the wrong organizations. when i see a third party individual preferably on a federal payroll who is forbiden from taking any money or favors from HLA present on campus at least 40% of the time and able to take complaints from any student whenever a student or the overseer wishes, then i'll shut up. untill then, you're still corrupt.

No need to apologize to anyone???  You're damn right there is no need for me to apologize to anyone, because I did not do anything wrong in pointing out that HLA hires unqualified people.  You are one arrogant, pompous person if you think for one second that I would consider apologizing to the likes of you.

I did not "reach into another's personal life."  I am going to say this one more time: WHAT I POSTED WAS PUBLIC INFORMATION.  PUBLIC.  Is there some reason why you cannot seem to comprehend this very simple fact?

And once again, your logic is ridiculous.  I'm not even going to address your example of a boss supporting the pro-life movement - it's so far off base and contributes absolutely nothing to this discussion.  Not to mention that I did not ridicule or harass anyone.

You think HLA hires qualified people?  That is a joke, and you are a joke.  The plain, simple fact is that they ADVERTISE that they hire people with MASTER'S DEGREES, and they routinely hire people WHO DO NOT HAVE THAT QUALIFICATION.

Don't worry your little head about riling me up.  Insignificant people such as yourself are not worth getting riled up about.  But I won't have you derailing this topic with your nonsense.

Wow, chill little lady.  I just happen to not agree with you and think your approach is off base and uncalled for.  As far as a derailment.... the topic is "Funny Article", although most of us dont find it funny, I think I have adhered to the initial subject and intent.

Get some sleep and enjoy a fresh approach in the a.m.

I find it funny that you think you know my gender.

I don't understand the problem here, Mods.  Get this guy off the site.  What?  300 pages of useless drivel isn't enough of a monument to this moron's ego?  GET RID OF THEWHO.  He's been banned.  Keep him banned.  I'm SO SICK of this guy humiliating, degrading and belittling survivors of heinous abuse.  GET HIM GONE ALREADY.

I don’t see where this thread has anything to do with abuse, unless you consider posting a persons wedding announcement for the joy and purpose of humiliating her for all her friends and family to witness abusive.
Does anyone see humiliation, degradation and belittlement?  So does getting banned work both ways?  Or is this held solely for those who disagree with the majority?
Shouldn’t we apply this standard equally to all posters?

:wstupid:   you've already been banned, asshole.  now we just need some enforcement.
