Not sure how to say this, but here goes

[Show-me]

James,

I based my opinion on the information that is public. If you have more to add I suggest you reveal it or don't bring the subject up.

 

[FlippedOutFERS]

Show-me,

James knows more about my medical condition than I originally posted to the general MB. I didn't think I had to go into this level of detail but it appears that's one of the many things I've been wrong about lately.

When bacteria invade the subarachnoid space in the spinal cord the body's immune response causes swelling of the fluid around the brain. You can make all the jokes you want to here about me being brain damaged but that is what happened. It took a while to get to where I could think straight.

Also, some folks have been suggesting that I made the whole thing up. I just emailed Tom a snapshot of what my face looks like now, with paralysis of the lower right quadrant and some paralysis of the upper right quadrant. I didn't bother taking a picture that showed the paralysis in my right arm or leg because you can't tell the difference in a photo. But at least now the Administrator knows I didn't lie about my illness.

Why am I having to justify my opinion, anger, and disappointment to any of you? I did not doing anything wrong. It took a month and a half to go from dead to I'm sorry and how many responses did you give on your spouses behalf? A mistake is one thing but to perpetuate it with a fake third person is another.

I'm sorry for your pain and illness but the momentary laps in judgment and a announcement of death with a follow up from your "spouse" could have been ended with three words.

"That's a mistake." or "I am alive."

I don't get it and don't care anymore. I'm done with the subject.

 

[Murphys_Law]

Have to agree with Show on this one. It's difficult to say what really happened. Enforce the rules and move on.

The circumstances are simple, she lied to us all AND faked her death. It is yours and everyone else's place to judge and punish a liar. There should be a punishment for both or all you do is condone it to the next person that wants to do it.

You need to set a standard and then stick to it for it to work. Look below for a refresher of the rules.

I really can't believe we are even having a poll or discussion about this.

i'm not big on rules, but they serve a purpose to reduce the number of operators, in fact i usually take them as a challenge, enjoy bending them just to see how far before it breaks, but those are pretty clear, definately broken, no way to argue against that.

life is crazy and never what you expect, trying to fit it into a well-defined box and make everybody toe the same line is a futile exercise in my experience, it pays to be flexible, things change, so what.

i'm about opportunity not judgement, there's only one that will ultimately judge me, and i'm grateful He has vision beyond this quagmire of everyday existence, i don't ever want to be in that position, i suffer from limited perspective so i am not the one to bang the gavel, but if i was we all would be on our way to hell, thank your deity for small favors.

things happen and then you adapt to the changing circumstances, this situation is obviously a big one, affected us all one way or the other, i even bared my soul, wrote a mushy poem, so what.

we can be rigid coldhearts or we can forgive, tabula rasa i say.

ask yourself, would you deny another, any other, a second chance, what gives you the right?

is it really that important to make others grovel and pay? there is no justice in that, only satisfaction. two very different things.

To the people SO adamant of "how dare...." -you know who you are.

Why didn't you give her a call and be the one to tell us what you found out when she was to sick to?
She's been on the boards over 2 years, a short timer, comparatively.
Is posting here the only way you know how to contact someone who you imply means so much to you?
What is her husband's name....Guy?
Uh, social networking is a 2 way street- take it from your kids.
Well, I've said more than enough......

You sir!.... are cold and cruel individual! People in other countries play this game and "kill" innocent people everyday. It is NOT your job to play "judge,jury,exocutioner" it belongs to "the people" a group of responsible and informed individuals, who are insightful and wise, and loving, and mature, unlike YOU! One of those wise and insightfull and "loving" things to do is give a "second chance", Ever heard of that? You should chill out man, Seriously! If she let a situation get out of hand, before apllying the brakes , well... WHO HASEN'T? She deserves a second chance just like you would if YOU made a mistake, maybe you never make those though, thats why your so quick to "apply the rules" PFFF, give me a break, Get real and LAY OFF of her!

When we say we want Justice, we must be careful.

Truly, if we actually received Justice, all of us would find ourselved condemned.

Justice is much more than enforcement of the rule of law. Let us cry out for Mercy instead.

It is better to forgive. For we shall then be forgiven.

 

[Show-me]

OKAY, fine I forgive her. I've already told you all I'm happy she is not dead.

ENFORCE THE RULES OR REMOVE THE RULES.

Lets move on.

 

[Zebe]

Rules? John 13:34. Love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another.

 

[Show-me]

But, follow the rules or eliminate them.

Rules? John 13:34. Love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another.

You guys want to play Bible verse games, okay, I'll play. If your going to go by the Bible, you got to go by it all, not just the parts that are easy.

Leviticus 19:11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

 

[Show-me]

Psalms 31:18, "Let the lying lips be put to silence;"

 

[Show-me]

Leviticus 6:1-4, "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour…or hath deceived his neighbour…and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty,"

 

[Show-me]

Job 11:3,5, "Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;"

 

[Show-me]

There are dozens of verses about lying and lairs, which is probably why I can't stand a lair. Lairs make fools out of the people they lie to and believe them.

It went on for a month and a half.

Here is one of my very favorite stories about Mohandas K. Gandhi.

Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Gandhi he asked him, “Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?”

Gandhi replied, “Oh, I don’t reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It’s just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

ENFORCE THE RULES OR REMOVE THE RULES.

I thought we did enforce the rules. XL's account has been disabled for about 6 weeks now. I think that is enough for a misunderstanding gone wrong.

XL-entLady's final message

I have requested that Tom close the poll and he has agreed. Lady is no more. I have found out who my true friends are, and the fact that there are so many of you sincerely warms my heart. Thank you for understanding.

I also found out that Show-me, Buster and CountryBoy need a pound of flesh. So here it is.

There. Now everybody is happy. That's what I call a win-win situation. And a good place on which to end.
