DB - I have never professed to know who anyone is, posted an address, threatened anyone, impersonated someone or adopted aliases to obfuscate; I have never accused anyone of anything that occurred off site. (The van incident, for example - I have no idea what happened and have never accused you of anything.) Whooter has said unforgivably horrible things about me that have nothing to do with board interactions. The fact you support his lies show a serious lack of personal integrity. I don't know why this is okay with you. I am surprised because one of your friends on this board is an extremely beneficent, spiritual, and upstanding human being. I myself have been inspired by his words and experiences. Maybe you should take a tip from him. I think he might be a better person to emulate than your current idol.
Y'all, just don't get where I am coming from and try your damnest not to. Samara, in the last month I have heard you say some horrible things about Whooter, with no corroboration but your buddies saying them too. I have one thing I look up too and that is God, as I understand him. I try to emulate no one.
I will never tolerate anyone being railroaded or attacked while I can help, I don't care if all you hate him. I have said some very bad things on this board under duress, not making excuses nor proud of them. People can be very cruel, especially program people, it has been my experience.
I can not understand you Samara, I tried. I have tried with others here also, I believe you are jaded and you cover it up with kids, college and lifestyles and but it is still there. A point; look at how many of you are in the mental/emotional health field, just about everyone. You are all experts on what happened to you, yet you all (my opinion) are still missing one thing, normal. You don't know what normal, is.
Stick 10 program people in a room with a vase filled with "normal" and they would all kill themselves trying to get it.
One blessed thing about Whooter, he knows normal, he does normal everyday, he talks normal, he thinks normal.
Most of us knew from day one we weren't normal and everyday since that day we have been trying to convince ourselves we are.
Well we aren't and that is normal.
Peace
