I think Skakel did lie about stuff in Elan. I don't think he killed her either, but that's irrelevant. I think a lot of us told a lot of lies in Elan. We were immature and fucked up kids. We are adults today and that crap is in the past.
As for the humor, what I find funny, you might not. That's OK, to each his/her own. I happen to have a very twisted sense of humor and laugh at stuff other people might not find funny.
Yes, I know what creates those nasty threads. But as fellow posters and people who went through hell at Elan, we need to share at least a basic level of respect for each other. You are here and you went to Elan. You have a right to be here, therefore I will respect and not degrade you. All I ask is that you extend me the same courtesy.
Thanks,
Pete
