All I did was ask the man a question, and then bade him a good day. How is that mean?
Maybe the dry drunk comment
was a bit much at that moment, in that some people may have heard that term while in program. DB seems to behave as if he's drunk all the time, anyway. Given his high praise for AA, I'm not entirely surprised. Also, he misspells things so frequently because he types hastily and doesn't much care about accuracy. I'm surprised he doesn't misspell his own name. Or maybe he makes most of his posts from an IPhone or some such thing and cannot see it very well.
And then there are the inconsistencies and contradictions.
Here DB is saying that his mother passed away in August of '09.
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=29615&p=354289#p354289And here DB says that he lost his mother ten or so years ago.
I lost my father at the age of ten and my mother went home ten years ago when I was thirty-seven. My mother would have wanted to say, “thank-you,” to Joe and others for giving her back her son.http://www.elanschool.com/featuredgraduate.php?id=25Red hair, shamrocks, the Irish tunes, I say it's the same guy. Look at the picture there.
Also, it's funny how he'd mistake the name of somebody he supposedly admires so much; Joe Ricca/Joe Ricci.

Living with Joe Ricci and his wife. I was the youngest graduate Élan had at the time and Joe and his wife took a special interest in me. I admired Joe. He was bigger than life to me at the time and he became the Dad I never had. I think of him often, miss him, and am grateful for his personal sacrifices and belief that youth are worth investing in.
I think he's a troll for sure. That's just my opinion. Or maybe simply another survivor who is struggling with a number of issues related to his time in program, (as are we all) and is too traumatized, or maybe too unintelligent (or both), to realize that he is behaving in quite a trollish fashion. He's obviously got a lot of anger in him.
DB is an interesting case. It's hard to know when he is being serious or when he his just stirring the pot. We ought to tolerate tolerate him, I think, as our replies to him are really aimed at a wider audience. He succeeds in in making AA look worse than any of us ever could, and hence does half the work for us. Damn annoying, though. Anyway, at least he'll not be screwing around in DAYTOP anymore.
