You people here on Fornits have made errors in your judgment in the past, which has caused some very sincere and loyal people who were out there to help the kids to walk away feeling defeated. It's true, so no use arguing the point.
Before messing with yet another person who may very well be acting in the best interest of the kids, why not do some homework and bring some real proof that he is somehow not looking out for their best interest. Otherwise, I would recommend everyone try working with one another, not against one another.
Do all the kids who need our help a favor - stop being so damn judgmental and critical of people who you do not even know anything about. You think you do but in reality you have no idea. I know this for a fact. You sit at your computers, acting like judges. But in real life everyone comes before a judge with their sides of the story, there's a jury of peers to help decide who is right and who is wrong, and then the judge states his ruling or the jury votes. That certainly does not go on here.
You people, the judges here on Fornits and elsewhere, have no idea the magnitude of damage you have caused to those who would and could have done some great things for the kids. You need to really process what I'm saying because this has been going on for quite some time now. You pick on someone, whoever it might be at the time, and you just don't give up until you do irreversible damage. Also, you tell too damn much here, don't you all know WWASP is out there reading all of your posts?
What I find ironic is that most of you don't even know each other. You think you do. But typing in a Forum does not constitute a relationship formed that is of any quality whatsoever.
Anyway, I'm not trying to lecture anyone or to piss anyone off. I'm still trying to hit it home to some of you that you are doing more damage than good in many instances. It's great to get out there and get voices heard. But in reality the voices heard here on Fornits will do nothing more than possibly get attention from potential parents. But if they read too much they'll get turned off by the way people interract and I doubt they'll value the information they find here. That, I feel, is sad because Ginger works extremely hard to get the word out and not censor what you guys are saying. Good in some ways, damaging in others. I see why she does it but I don't necessarily agree (I think there are times when some posts should be removed, but this is not my site and I have no say how she runs it). It's OK, we don't all have to agree on how we do things.
I think the important thing to remember at this point is that for any real change to happen a large number of like-minded people are going to have to learn to work together for the good of the kids. Until that happens and until some large organization/s come forward and sticks their necks out, not much is going to change. At least not for a long time. I know people get excited that a movie is coming out, a show, an article, but, as I type this, most people have no idea the teen industry exists. I know because I talk to many people and I mention it to everyone. I have yet to run into someone who has ever heard of WWASP, or any other group for that matter. So we're not succeeding yet, we need to find better ways to get the word out there.
