My intentions
Cypress:
Hi all!
It's been awhile since I've posted. Let me introduce myself to those of you who may not know who I am. While I go by the nick Cypress on this board my mother bestowed upon me the name Sara at my birth. I attended a Cedu offspring program many moons ago. Just two short years ago (Ginger, check me if I'm wrong with the dates) I attended the "annual" conference in St. Pete's, FL. It was at that conference that I introduced Cedu to the likes of "GregFL" and "KPickle". I found out about this conference from the Straight Board. You see, back then, Cedu didn't yet have a home on the Fornits site. Cedu wasnt even heard of until I meekly began to post. This group of people opened there arms wide and took me in. Not only did they listen to what I had to say but they made me feel welcome. It was after the conference in St. Pete's that the Cedu board was started on the Fornits site. I started as its moderator from the very beginning. Way back then, when I was the ONLY person onboard. And I waited. I knew eventually people would show up and begin sharing their stories. And gradually that is just what happened. We may not be as large or have as many participants as the Straight board but I'll be damned if I'm going to sit back and let my haven turn into nothing more than a useless Rap.
When this forum started, it was with the hopes of creating a welcoming environment for former students to feel safe in sharing their stories, good or bad. I desperately wanted to hook up not only with past friends but with other students who shared in the Cedu experience.
Quite honestly Ottowa, I could do without the likes of you. You have NOT been there like we have. You will NEVER know what we have been through. You have NEVER had your dignity ripped from you in the way we have. I will NOT sit here and listen to how well your son did or did not do at Cedu. How the Hell do you know? YOU WERE NOT THERE. If your son wishes to join our dialogue, I strongly encourage his participation. But in my eyes you are NOTHING more than a parent who gave up on her child. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. I may not be the current moderator of this board but I feel I have the right, as its founder, to tell you to go to hell. You have voiced your opinion, we have heard. We spent too many years of our existence being force fed what is "acceptable". It is finally our turn to tell you to fuck off! We don't have to take it anymore. You can not put us on bans. You can not assign dishes. We don't have to be polite to you out of fear. If you come to OUR board then you come under OUR rules. If you don't like it, then leave. Let me show you the door. :wave:
GregFL:
Hey Lady!. Long time no speak. Your forum here has grown into something to be proud of. I remember first asking you to be the moderator and first meeting you, and of learning that CEDU trumped Art Barker as the first tyrant to take the synanons techniques and use them against teenagers.
Great job you have done....Keep up the good work. This forum is progressing very well.

To Cypress--I had to say a word because your comments astound me. Just calm down, you say you aren't afraid of this and that, but you sound hysterical with fear to me.
What can I really do to you--be rational about it--and then explore why you would have a hissy-fit like the one your post represents because someone had an opinion other than yours.
If the person in charge of the site e-mails me and tells me not to post, I won't, but otherwise, I will do so, if, when, and how I wish to.
Are you so frightened of a little disagreement---how do you manage in your day-to-day life? This is a rhetorical question, I don't expect an answer. It doesn't sound like a coherent one is likely either, and probably I should have just ignored your rant, but it had such a pathos to it, I had to say something. You don't need to get so upset.
I'll post when I want to post, bottom line, I am not frightened by you, and you shouldn't be so frightened by me. Do you really think that a fully functioning adult person is going to cring because you or like-minded people throw a few mindless insults her way? But go ahead and make yourself look small if you want to. Cute green smiley-face and all.
Again, if the moderator or owner thinks the site can't handle opposing views like mine, let's say so publicly, just have someone in authority contact me and I am gone.
Look, you attitude, coming on all angry and frantic at me for no reason, is frustrating, and if you want to fight, I will try to ignore you when I can and take you on if I just can't ignore what you say. Although I'm pretty good at ignoring things, getting better all the time here, so you don't have to worry about too much interaction if you continue on as you have starated.
If on the other hand, you want to communicate like an adult who is speaking to another adult who happens to have a differing opinion on a matter that is important to them both, I will always be willing to put the past behind and talk. That goes, by the way, for anyone who I have quarrelled with, here or elsewhere and who wants to to sincerely try for a new beginning. It is, as I say, what adults who are acting like real human beings, usually at least try to do.

CEDU IS A CULT:
Ottawa- by all means stay. Now, your good for a laugh! How easily you transformed from clinical, sterile superior "self-designated Fornits wannabe psychologist" to superbitch. Your true intentions are quite clear now. Either you accept our idea and therefore you are a failure as a parent, or we accept your idea and we are failures as human beings. Sorry, but the evidence shows you are in the wrong.
Cypress:
Dearest Ottawa,
Good try, but I'm afraid your post will not silence me. My my how you sound like a family head trying to feed me a line of crap about how I'm feeling. Sorry to burst your little bubble dear O but I'm afraid there is nothing hysterical about me. I'm merely expressing an opinion that is different than yours. Does that qualify me for your hysteria diagnosis? Hmm. Exactly when did you graduate with your psych degree? Where did you study? What advanced degrees do you hold? If you are going to try and diagnose my behavior kindly provide me with credentials. Currently I am working with a psychiatrist who has thirty years of practice experience, a graduate of NYU with further study at the likes of Yale. But truly, dearest O, if you feel you are more qualified to treat me, perhaps I should come for an initial evaluation. Where exactly is your office located? You hold a medical license in what state?
I note that you completely failed to acknowledge anything I had to say in my previous post. How typical of a program parent. Attack my "hysteria" without acknowledging a thing I had to say. Perhaps that is because you have no response? After all, you can not argue with the fact that you have NEVER BEEN THERE.
But alas, I think I am wrong. I think you have been there. I believe now, with stronger conviction than last night, that you are indeed a Cedu plant. After all, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...You use classic Cedu techniques. Attack Attack Attack. As I stated before, I will not be silenced out of fear or intimidation. And yes, dear O, intimidation is just your ploy. But you see, I am much stronger than you realize.
And coming back to a question that has been asked over and over and not yet responded to truthfully. Why the fuck are you here? This is a board for those directly connected with Cedu. As I see it, that would not be a you as a parent (if we are to believe that little lie). If you do in fact work at Cedu it's time to come out of the closet. At least then you will have a legitimate purpose in posting.
I've offered it once, and I'll offer it again. See that little x in the top right hand corner of your monitor? That's the door out. Kindly use it. :wave:
