Ok Everyone listen up Long ago things were different. The internet was new and innocent, like a fresh girl friend that you though you could open your soul to. Then things changed. It got ugly, mean and nasty and the things you were forthright about couldn't be taken back. They were there for the world to see for eternity. Even though people posted them by choice it was done so at a time when innocence and good was still assumed. While that may have been a very bad choice I'm not sure its right to extort for an honest mistake. Lord knows I love a public lynching as much as the next guy. Few things can rival the sight of a dangling corpse that has been exposed as a calculated, lying piece of debris. But we can do this without outing each other. Many people know my name and I know the names of many. In fact I tease one guy on a regular basis but the fact is.....I will never out that person, Redfish. To do so would be wrong even though he left a trail of crumbs that led me right to his door. Hell, I could call the guy up right now if I wanted to but to what end? I could call Ray Duray as well but again, to what end? SI is like a marriage - there are just certain things you can't do or it will cause a divorce and thus an end to the relationship. Since ending a relationship is no fun - none of us want that. After all, isn't it the journey and not the end that makes a marriage worth having? With that I say go forth my fellow sheep and indoctrinate the heard who have not been blessed with my wisdom. Learn where the line begins and where it ends. And then, without crossing that line, learn to gut each other like swine! Take joy in the leeching of blood from each others souls without inflicting permanent harm. Drive people to the brink of suicide only to let up just before the actual act. Because again, why end the relationship when you can enjoy the brutal journey over and over again! Love, Gloop \\//_ Live long and prosper
