So because some people were saying something you didn't agree with, you lied about having a child in a program?  Seriously, man, you need a lot of help.  This throws your entire history here into the dump.  I can't really believe anyone would even do something like that.  Sure, maybe embellish a little here and there, but to create a new family to tell program success stories about is beyond weird and completely dishonest.  Looking back at your other posts, quite a few stand out as obvious lies as well.  That, plus you run around here all the time accusing everyone else of lying but you turn out to be the "biggest liar ever" on Fornits and that's an accomplishment!  At least now we know!

"The ricketty and scrofulous little wretch who first sees the light in a work-house, or in a brothel, and who feels the effects of alcohol before the effects of vital air, is not equal in any respect to the ruddy offspring of the honest yeoman; nay, I will go further, and say that a prince, provided he is no better born than royal blood will make him, is not equal to the healthy son of a peasant."

???  So you made up having a kid you didn't have to "add balance"?  I don't get that at all.  You spend day after day here calling other posters "liars" and now we find out you invented your whole story.  Greeeeat.  What else have you made up besides your children?
Well,this is what the other fornits posters were saying about this mothers child:
Quote
OMG I was there with your kid, what a small world. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your son is gay and had the time of his life sucking off all of us for extra rice. That's the real reason he gained weight.. well.. and he swallows. Extra nutrients!
Link

I jumped in to counter what was being done to her.  Maybe it wasnt one of my best decisions but I wrote it and stand behind what I write.  If you notice no one else here seemed to care that she was being beat up like that.
Ah... and well that you might say that, leaving out pertinent details of the context!  :D

You see, "Worried Anne" sounded SO very much like one of your many sock puppets, that someone even posted, immediately in response to said OP:
Quote from: "Guest"
^^^ thewho.
Quite understandable then, that you subsequently rushed in to defend yourself...

But Ursus, my posts have been all linked together so we know that "Worried Anne" was not me posting.  So I wasn't jumping in to defend myself.  I jumped in to defend this woman having her son talked about like that.  Survivor on survivor can be very vicious as we have all seen.  Those were terrible things you people were saying about her son and fellow survivor.

So why do you think it is okay for survivors to embellish their stories?  This has always been a curious question for me.  There are people who come on here for information on programs and the industry and they encounter people like yourself who embellish their stories and cry abuse which to me is the same as lying.

Why cant people just be honest and tell it straight out the way it is?

Whoops.  So much for that phony family fairy tale.  Whooter has to make up a new family now with a new story so he can "prove" that the programs saved his phony kid and family.   :beat:  :beat:  :beat:  :beat:  :beat:  :roflmao:  :roflmao:  :roflmao:

Speaking of wilderness programs and sex, it happens all the time... at least when I was there it did. Its not like they handed out condoms so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the girls go home from wilderness with a whole new set of issues brewing inside them. I never saw a wild tribe like orgy until I was in wilderness, and don't think the staff don't join in. Parents have no idea what happens out there, it was insane.

Thanks guest,I knew it wasnt as bad as people were saying here.  The kids do have fun on these trips, I kind of thought that.

Your welcome, my son really liked it and would like to become a counselor some day which has motivated him to study harder.


Face it.....you got busted buddy boy.

 :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

I admit that, Anne, but read through the thread and see what they did to this woman "worried Anne" and calling her son gay and pretending to be survivors with her son.  
I dont see it as being wrong at all.  I feel sorry for the woman.  I would probably do it again if the situation warranted.
