I just spent over twenty minutes "back reading"in the Moment Please Thread. As I really have very little patience at this moment, my first thought was to simply turn the damn computer off for the weekend but, as I read post after post, my stomach began to knot up and I could actually feel the bile rise! I felt genuine anger and was about to unleash in that Thread , when a wave of common sense grabbed me and I stopped. I decided it would be better that I came here and said something.
How in the name of all that is decent have we come to this??? People! Are we friggin MAD????? I am so completely disgusted with what I saw that I am very near logging off of this site for the indefinite future! What kind of person is this guy?? What kind of power (yes, power) does he hold that would turn our family so upside- down and leave us in such a state?? There should NEVER be ANYONE that can do this to us.
I commend our dear guido for his acts of chivalry! Obviously, if there is a man among us, he is that man. There is no greater cause than the defense of a loved friend. Having said this, I am sick to my stomach over how the whole event degraded into a personal and very private war. This is a public forum seen ALL OVER THE WORLD! What kind of idiot brings his family into this war and stays??? I should think he would have simply logged off when guido fired the first devastating salvo?!?! But no, he decided to stand and fight and at what cost? At what gain?? To attempt to further humiliate and already spent ex-girlfriend? Is THAT worth one's family and privacy??
In our world , the idea of a man and a father have been degraded to such a level as to have little meaning. Any male human with a sperm count can sire offspring. That is now the definition of fatherhood. What we have is simply a condition of more children that have NO idea what a father really is. Apparently, that word has just lost all meaning. Father...big friggin deal! Where is the dignity and grace? Where is the responsibility? *ugh*
I am so utterly disgusted by the things I have read today that I find myself feeling ill. I am literally sick to my stomach. If this person is an example of the state of fatherhood in the US, we as a country.., as a RACE, are doomed and I am NOT saying this for some kind of emotional effect. PLEASE tell me there is a man among us! PLEASE tell me there is a father.
I can assure you Murray will see this garbage and he will be FAR less than pleased. And, before any of you friggin dumbasses bother to say it, NO I am NOT "pals" with Murray Francis. I do not "have him over for dinner". I do know he will be as disgusted as I am and God help this site. And now, having said all of this, I have one final comment;
Can any of you tell me what YOU think the guys in the Band would say is they actually read that exchange? Think about that for a moment. What kind of a reflection is it on the Band and its fans? If Rob were to take a peek, just by happenstance. What would he think? If JAYNE were to see that? As a woman, I think she would probably have FAR more to say than me and it would not be nearly as reserved!
It has been a terribly emotional couple days for me. I have seen things and thought of things that no one should have to endure. This place is a sanctuary. It is a place of friendship and love. I come here for the solace and comfort that my family has here for me. That has been defiled this morning and I am hurt. I am truly hurt. I going now. PLEASE find some time to consider my words. PLEASE find a moment to come together. I love you all. Good Bye.
