It seems that we have behavior here on fornits that resembled antics used at programs these adults were once in. We have a parent of a child (daughter) who at one time was in a program, successfully completed that program and has since gone on to have a great life. WEll it seems several posters have a had a problem with this particular parent and have made it there mission to make his life miserable (they are not) on this site.
The person we are talking about is Whooter. Whooter for the longest time has held views about the TTI that are pretty much mainstream, not inclined to be to far left or right. Has never endorsed abuse of any kind and always acknowledged that programs of the past may of had methods that were grounded in abuse. Yet also like many knew programs were evolving and that children were getting better care today in 2010 then 30 years ago.
Well it seems for these views he has been isolated by many members here and subjected to relentless attacks of person and family. Many of these attacks were down right personal against his daughter, questioning his daughters status after she left the program, saying she was a drunk and a dope head. They went even further and made up a story of a factious son who had committed suicide and that it was his fault. Now lets say this was true, why would people who feel they were abused do such a horrible thing to someone.
Well the members who have lead these attacks today started a thread attacking Whooter again. These members are Son of Serbia, Watchful Yeoman and Ursus, they are presenting their interpretation of posts Whooter posted in defense of a women who was being abused, such like Whooter.
Whooter went on to say he had a son as the women did and that he could understand her pain she was experiencing with him. He did this as gesture of kindness because the women was being verbally attacked for her beliefs, so she would not feel alone.
Now everyone who knows Whooter knows he does not have a son but for spiteful reasons they chose to jump on this post and exploit it and call Whooter a liar. They know he does not have a son.
Now Ursus, Watchful Yoemen and Son of Serbia have been known and prone to attacking Whooter at will, for reasons only they know. "Perception can be a isolated thought/vision held with prejudice if not opened to the masses".
Whooter does not hold their views and they find this to be unacceptable so therefore he must be punished, read their current posts, read their past posts.
This is a troubling development in this industry because it is called suppression of different ideas and thoughts. If members can gang up on other members with opposing or just different thoughts and humiliate them, then in essence what we have is down right bullying. Cyber bullying.
They are manipulating this web site for their own personal thoughts and ideas.
Programs used to be like this wide spread, as children we were oppressed, suppressed, manipulated and coerced, called liars and did not have a voice. Staff at these programs were intolerant of anything that was different, I know I was Staff at a young age I saw it first hand.
Now I do not believe the administration of this Web Site endorses this, as a matter of fact they don't. They also do not usually get involved in this type of quarrels between members.
I just felt are readers needed to know the other side of the story concerning Whooter and what some posters decide to do with their free time.
