ya know your right.Its not the 1st time i have had to say that.I think its best for me to leave.This used to be a place where i could come and meet old friends,be silly,and be part of something . Its none of those things anymore and has not been in a long time.I am too old for these games. i thought you or Matt would see things differently. But I dont always say the right things either.this is NOTHING like AA. there I am loved and cared for.Yes there are some creeps.But they are not allowed to capitalize a meeting like the 10 or so threads dedicated to accusations of being a pedofile. I leave very disapointed that noone has done anything to stop this for going on 2 years. I may still send you a letter from my attorney,but I am not sure i want to be part of or remember any of this.
peace and god bless

I hope I win this gambit, but I don't hold out
much hope. I'm only doing this for one reason. Because I think it pretty much explains everything. I think his avatar for WTF2 is a nice clue as well. See, Art seems to have set out to turn this open forum into just another rendition of the Program. He doesn't want you guys talking about things that may embarass him or shame him or threaten his frail relationship with the more commonly accepted reality.
It ain't gonna happen, Art! If you prefer the company of brainwashed stepcraft practitioners who will reliably support your shared illusions, then I think you should go hang out with them. It's a free country, ya know!
I also don't hold out much hope that you'll
actually quit this time just because you say so. But I want you guys, those who want to have a cogent discussion about Elan and, especially, those of you who (like me) are interested in the complex relationships between Elan and other programs and broader society, to just fucking ignore the irrelavnt shit.
I don't always get what I want, though, and often enough that turns out for the best because I didn't understand the whole story to begin with.
And, btw, I haven't heard from Dee in a very long time and often wonder how she's doing. I hope she's well and happy.
All penalties for drug users should be dropped...Making drug abuse a crime is useless and even dangerous...Every year we seize more and more drugs but the quantity available still increases...Police are losing the drug battle worldwide.
