Dear BuzzKill; I see you are back to your ?old issues??you are so off base it is absurd. Like I said before, wasn't in Vegas, didn't hear about Vegas. What part of that is confusing to you?
Why is it that YOU know everything? I'll rephrase that; "why is it that YOU think you know everything?"
And you said; "at least she liked to give that impression"
Now you are accusing me of something, then in the next sentence spouting what you perceive about me & what my interpretation of a person or issue is?
So YOU had problems in a specific group? So YOU had problems with Sue? YOU can solve all of those issues with her...quit dragging me into YOUR problems! Leave me out of your little contest!!! And how about letting me speak for me...and you speak for yourself?
I don't care what you did or why you did it or who you speak with? That's your prerogative. Quit trying to justify your actions to me. As far as bad apples? My barrel? Again, YOU are so far off target that you missed everything as usual. What is it with you and everyone having a side of the fence to protect? Drop it, already! I could give a shit what you have? What you kept? Or why you kept it?
I came on here to post some factual information pertinent to the questions posed, because my child is a plaintiff. Then you proceed to drag your sorry ass out of the closet with a bunch of old trivial shit that happened between to old hens on a forum directed at protecting children from child abuse. YOUR issues mean absolutely nothing to me; go bother someone else with YOUR issues.
Oh, and what is the name of your attorney in all of this? That's what I thought!!!

Sheesh .. I don't know who you are but seems to me you have some serious "anger management" issues. Glad your kid is a plaintiff and hope he/she benefits from the lawsuit because these kids deserve it, not their parents, who no matter how misguided, are the ones who funded their child's abuse.

Oh, this could be serious! My understanding is that Mr. Bushkin severed ties w/ Sue for good cause. Is it possible he doesn't know about the strong ties between this anon and Sue? Or maybe he does and he thinks he can keep this guy on a short leash?
Oh well, I too hope this suit goes somewhere and, even more, that we will soon see news of it splashed accross the headlines from the tabloids all the way to the NYT. And I hope none of those messy entanglements derail it.
They know that it is human nature to take up causes whereby a man may oppress his neighbor, no matter how unjustly. ... Hence they have had no trouble in finding men who would preach the damnability and heresy of the new doctrine from the very pulpit.

It was ans still is extremely inappropriate that this was posted on the internet soliciting plaintiffs.
It has hurt many opportunities to have had competent representaion for individuals harmed by the bad guys. Hopefully someday she will reel in her impulsiveness and think before she acts.
Her personal vengece is counter productive to the bigger picture.
