Chai's hateful nonsense
I only just learned of this thread.
For those of you who don't know it; this thread is a thinly veiled, extremely hateful, attack on me personally, for nothing.
For the record:
Yes, I have spent many hours attempting to empathize with, comfort and advise abused women, who I believed to be at various risks of mortal danger.
Yes, in the process, I frequently have thrown out a virtual (((hug))). It is a virtual comfort device I learned from others on those very threads.
Yes, as a general rule, I am usually willing to step in front of a virtual attack pack, if I feel they are unnecessarily piling on a poster in hurtful fashion (preferring that they try to penetrate my thick skin, as opposed that of a mentally unstable women who has shown signs of suicidal tendencies on more than one occasion).
What a monster I must be.
The rest of Chai's unhappy horseshit... is just that. During any one of the above mentioned attempts to help a domestic violence victim come to her senses; the only PMs I ever sent went straight to Brooklyn, in hopes the angel could make herself available to deliver better, more accurate and concise advice, empathy and knowledge than I am capable of. She has
always come through. I have never attempted to contact a DV victim or even sent one a PM for that matter, let alone attempted to take advantage in any way.
I remain astounded that anyone could misjudge me so completely and I challenge
any member to provide one link to
any such incident where
anything I wrote could reasonably be interpreted as the sleazy behavior the miserable author of this thread has described.
This is what Chai thinks is an appropriate response to repeated random acts of kindness.
To the best of my recollection; I have only ever participated in less than a half dozen of these sad, mostly unproductive threads
and if memory serves; the last was well over a year ago. I find them deeply disturbing and suspect I've probably subconsciously avoided learning about others, that have no doubt posted here since, because it is depressing as hell to see the pattern of failure (reuniting with monsters) that usually mark their conclusions. But this is where I supposedly go to cruise vulnerable chicks, right?
Now I have to say; if I were the monster Chai has convinced herself I am, I would deserve every hateful thing she has written about me, and then some. There are no doubt plenty of foxes in hen houses everywhere. But I am not that man. Everyone who knows me, and anyone who's a reasonable judge of character should realize that when confronted with the kind of A-hole she's accused me of being; I would be among the first to confront and expose him. The only reason I can forgive her for the wickedly hateful **** she's said about me is a) there's no profit letting it fester and b) I think she's actually dumb enough to believe it. While it saddens me some, that
anyone could believe such a thing, I believe in her sick twisted mind she actually thinks she's got this right. I certainly hope the number who concur are few and far between. (shrugs) What can ya do?
Ps. Thank you, Brooklyn, for your kind words and trying to set the record straight.
