THE END
Anonymous:
First off I want to say that this is the end, no more. This has been going on for too long now with no end in sight.
I've been avoiding looking at/posting on this sight for two months out of fear of what i might find. No,i have not read all of it and I dont think i ever will.
No,i most certainly would not have been happy just sitting at SCL, and i nearly peed my pants when i was told i was coming home. So to all those that did send letters i can't expess enough thanks in this little box.
This site was started to help get information about the facility i was at. Information that probably would have been useful before my getting sent there. It didn't end there as you all know.The "school" monitors this webite quite closely, of course and from there my parents were informed about it and so on. It really is a shame that it turned out to be a battlefield more as opposed to a source of information. If only more parents discovered ths site before sending their children there maybe it wouldn't occur as often as it does. There are too many kids there that really don't deserve to be isolated from society. One of them was Nick Thomas. The boy who froze to death with his mother in those goddamn mountains. From everything i heard from him and others a SCL he most certainly was not an "outofcontrol teen". That makes three lifes taken by that place i you count the suicide last year.
but thats all. Like i said this is the end. Thank you to EVERYBODY for caring about me, but I won't let this go on any longer. Aunt Pam if you feel so strongly about something and I want you to vent call me or call my mom, but all you do when you post is cause destruction and i won't let it go on any longer.
Love, Alex.

Point should be well taken. This is exactly what many people have feared was going to happen. The good information on this site is buried and all the fighting, name-calling, criticizing, destructive comments are taking the forefront. How sad. Sure, some are trolls, I?m not naive to that. But many are regulars on this forum and have been around a long time. They spend much of their time posting on Fornits, it seems to be their lives. Or at least a large portion of their lives. They cannot rest when things are going smoothly, when information is being disseminated. No, they have to come and stir things up, get people off course, throw a wrench in relationships, and so on. People need to realize there are but a handful of people doing this and in the big scheme of things a very small number of people on this forum at any given time (check ?who?s online? and you?ll see that most often times there?s about a dozen people is all.) So, in the scheme of things it?s a very small minority of people causing something that could have and should have been good to be bad.
I know if I were a parent looking for information and found this site I would not take anything seriously simply because so much of it is nothing but crazy folks hashing things out and trying to mess with other people's lives.
Maybe the folks are not crazy but they come off that way to the average person. I have known many people who used to visit this site who have not for a very long time because it is depressing and destructive. People here seem to have a need to trash other people. They do not understand or realize the damage it causes to others.
I am just about there, where Alex is. If there is not some form of control taken here and if the fighting continues to go on then I will take the same position.
I don't think some people realize the power of the written word. I am sick and tired of the destruction, of watching people over and over again getting trashed who don't deserve it. Most of the people whose names get smeared don't come here to defend themselves, most of them anyway (I guess the only time you can and it's OK is if you are a former Straight-ling - otherwise you are nothing here, it seems). They either find the posts themselves or are warned about them by others. Most of the cruel comments are unwarranted and untrue. That's the very sad part.
I come here looking for news and information. But the information I find lately and the posts I find lately are very disappointing. None of you who are doing this are doing the cause any good at all. You are feeding into exactly what the other side would like you to do. Go ahead and tear this post apart if you want. Say anything you want, I don't care. Have fun. But if you would take even a moment to think about what I'm saying I think you would agree. Or not. Whatever.

To Alex - I absolutely agree with your post, and wish you nothing but the best now and in the future.
To the Anon who thinks Fornits is not living up to it's legacy, I suggest you read the message up in the left hand corner:
"IF YA CAN'T FIND SOMETHIHNG OFFENSIVE HERE, CHECK YOUR PULSE OR CLEAN YOUR CONTACTS" (Eudora)
Your criticism is what makes Fornits great but if you don't like the show, there's a door you should look for and walk through (hint, it says EXIT above it). Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Welcome home, Alex. You had a lot of people pulling for you and I'm glad you are back where you belong.
Each one of these stories is worth every minute I've ever spent on here.
Good luck.

Thanks for writing Alex. I wish you all the best life has to offer. I was where you stand today. I have come a long way myself. That is not to say everything will be easy for you. To get anywhere in life it takes hard work, and determination.
I apologize if I contributed to some of the drama. We are not all perfect, and I found myself acting downright immature at times.
I hope eventually you are able to work things out with your parents. My mom passed a few years ago........and my dad and I re-connected 7 years ago.
I always regret, as so does he that we didn't do it sooner. We didn't talk, or see one another for 10 years. He was the one I blamed for my 4 years of stay between Heritage School/Cross Creek Manor since it was his, and his bitch of a wifes idea to send me away, and he footed the bill. With step-monster gone....we have a great relationship.
My dad is 86 years old, and I see him 6 times a year. I don't have much more time to fly and see him. I am 33 years old (may 30)and he treats me like his little girl when I visit. There are always fresh flowers in my room when I arrive. He wakes up early to make coffee, and breakfast for me, He never lets me get up from the table, or wash a dish. He is making up for lost time.
I hope you, and your folks are able to bond again. No family is perfect, but right now I want you to do whats best for you.
