You said the reason you faked the suicide attempt was to see if people truly cared. That sounds like something people can empathize with. Its a great line. The problem is it doesn't mesh with the facts.
You didn't add that you faked suicide attempts four times.
We proved that we cared four times (well admittedly some of us, only three) and yet you came came back and called us losers and suckers for falling for your ruse.Worse things were said just for the sake of insulting. As you were blocked at the time, most of them have been deleted.
You threatened people on this board, and over email, and when you no longer could do it here you continued on Jay's board. This was no short burst of rage.
Did you really think 2 or three months of happy face emoticons could erase all this?Now, you've reopened it all. If you truly wanted to make amends why not begin elsewhere?
Instead you've reawakened the memories of anyone whose lost someone to suicide been stalked on the internet, and the disruption and grief you caused on the board.I don't see why you feel you had to come back here to support, as don't seem that interested in making amends to those you hurt the most.
You were sarcastic with Chicklet as soon as she said it was your actions that caused the problems.
Why the sarcasm? Why the smugness? You of ALL people!Was it not your actions that caused the problem?
Well, you certainly have managed to draw a great deal of attention to yourself once again,
while those who were victimized by you, Jyl and NickT2, being but two examples, are being virtually ignored.They've done nothing wrong, and have long contributed to this board. That I think is one of the worst things to happen out of this. You get the attention on way or another don't you?
You say you've changed it could be true.
It obviously doesn't seem to matter much despite
what you previously said about caring what people thought. Contrary to your claims you are set on doing what you want. Actions speak louder than words.I do find it ironic though, that the advice given to Wildflower just weeks ago was that noone's personality changes within a period of four months.
The problem is not that you lied, its that from now on I can no longer believe you.

>>>>You said the reason you faked the suicide attempt was to see if people truly cared. That sounds like something people can empathize with. Its a great line. The problem is it doesn't mesh with the facts.
The facts were that I was suicidal, the wrong was when I faked it. I'm sorry.
>>>>You didn't add that you faked suicide attempts four times.
I recall 2x
>>>>We proved that we cared four times (well admittedly some of us, only three) and yet you came came back and called us losers and suckers for falling for your ruse.
I'm sorry for calling you names~it was childish, AND hurtful, I know.
>>>>You threatened people on this board, and over email, and when you no longer could do it here you continued on Jay's board. This was no short burst of rage.
>>>>You're right, it lingered on to jay's board for about 3 weeks, but what threats did I make, can you clarify that for me? I know I was threatened by Nikki that my computer would be hacked into, and from recent posters at Administration, she knows her computers. THAT was a threat.
>>>>Did you really think 2 or three months of happy face emoticons could erase all this?
Did I say it would? My style of writing includes emoticons to everyone.
>>>>Now, you've reopened it all. If you truly wanted to make amends why not begin elsewhere?
**because this is where the people are that I need to make amends to~think about it.
>>>>Instead you've reawakened the memories of anyone whose lost someone to suicide been stalked on the internet, and the disruption and grief you caused on the board.
That was not my intent and I'm sorry that you perceive it that way. I never said I was perfect.
>>>>I don't see why you feel you had to come back here to support, as don't seem that interested in making amends to those you hurt the most.
I'm just about ready to make my amends to those I KNOW where involved...watch...
>>>>You were sarcastic with Chicklet as soon as she said it was your actions that caused the problems.
Um, sarcastic? I believe you may want to re-read the post and the words that were written by the other poster.
>>>>>Why the sarcasm? Why the smugness? You of ALL people!
Yes, I am a human being, not perfect, and I make mistakes, and I am making amends.
>>>>Was it not your actions that caused the problem?
Of course it was my actions that caused the problem, I have posted that admittance.
>>>>Well, you certainly have managed to draw a great deal of attention to yourself once again,
while those who were victimized by you, Jyl and NickT2, being but two examples, are being virtually ignored.I posted direct amends to both jyl and Nikki, again, you might want to read some posts over on Administration.
>>>>They've done nothing wrong, and have long contributed to this board. That I think is one of the worst things to happen out of this. You get the attention on way or another don't you?
I'm not here to get attention, I can get that from my puppy. I've psoted many times why I am here and my posts prove it.
>>>>Contrary to your claims you are set on doing what you want.
I'm doing what is right and honest.
>>>>Actions speak louder than words.
Yup, they sure do...
>>>>The problem is not that you lied, its that from now on I can no longer believe you.
You have that right, you know that, and that is your choice, I understand everything you are saying and I'm sorry that you were affected by my actions~no excuses.
I wish you the best always, whether you believe it or not.

****Again, in a very recent post~yesterday, in fact, I responded to Tabitha as I did not know she lost her mother to suicide. Tabitha was very pleasant and we have each had our say.
*Also, I did not know that a former poster actually committed suicide!
gabbix2~I don't feel I need to explain anymore to you after this, you have made yourself loud and clear and I have responded appropriately.
Thank you, take care, and
goodnight

*laughing my absolute a** off*
There is NO way I could threaten to hack your computer. I have no way of knowing how to do it, and I had no access to the information that would be needed to do this.
What did happen, was you sent me many threatening private messages, One of these wa sthat YOU were going to hack my pc, and come after me and make me regret having been born. I reacted with what would happen to YOU if you did hack my computre (which I knw you couldn't have done, as you told me you knew which state I lived in, which just proves you knew nothing what so ever).. I pointed out that I would go to the FBI etc etc. I also epxlained why you could not hack my computer.
If you wish to make any more accusations my way, feel free. I think everyone here will know you are lying. And, I do have copies of what you sent me. And no, I cannot post them here as they are incredibly offensive. And no, I will not email to you as there is no way on this earth I want you to have have contact details for me. Even my email address.
Make that FOUR time bitten now..
Nikki

To be purely pragmatic here for a moment. Whatever anyone's feelings are about Kristen, isn't it better not to discourage her from posting as Galkeepinon? Otherwise we'll all be a bit.... careful with new posters for a while. I found myself feeling that way over the weekend as a kneejerk reaction to hearing the news. As I always do when I find out someone used to be someone else.
Kristen admitting her identity now is more open than not admitting it at all, and allowing us to make donkeys of ourselves responding to her as if we had never met her before. Which is what I always feel like when this posting name change thing happens. Like boy what a total flippin idiot I've been. I'll bet everyone just thinks I'm the most gullible jerk in the world. :(

Dinah, you are a gem. but you knew that.
I think I'm already "careful" with new posters though. I just can't believe it when someone introduces herself as 'new' and i actually welcome that person...then come to find out that they are someone who used to post under another name. And I don't mean Kristen either. I don't even know who it was.
>>not to discourage her from posting as Galkeepinon?
I don't think i'm discouraging her from posting. She seems to have decided that she will post. No one can stop that. And she ASKED for opinions. She got 'em.
>>and allowing us to make donkeys of ourselves
Oh I think we've already looked like asses. Say it Dinah. Asses.>>I'll bet everyone just thinks I'm the most gullible jerk in the world. :(
Ha! Couldn't be farther from the twoof.

Dinah I wasn't meaning to pretend, I hadn't met her before simply that I wasn't buying into this identity any more than any of the others thats all. And like Chicklet said, it already changed the way I felt about newcomers, not about greeting, but the hesitancy and thats really an unfortunate part.
I think enough attention has been given to Gal though more than enough.
And I simply came back to say my piece about this.

Oh I've clued into what you meant now.
sorry, its too early, I'm up for school. No one
should have to get up this early! I feel like I'm going on a trip to Ohio with my parents.
Except at least then I'd still be in my Pj's/
Yes being pragmatic i suppose that would make sense.I'm gone though, really. I just came back to say what I felt about this. Too many people are hurting. And when I have enough composure say a piece on admin. I see you got my little joke * I tried last night. That was the best I could do still too angry.

> *Also, I did not know that a former poster actually committed suicide!Yes I was pleasant. I believed your apology on that issue to be sincere and heartfelt. But are you implying others should feel the same? I can't support that. Other folks remember a whole lot more, or saw a whole lot more, of the offensive posts and emails than I did. And everyone has their own context in which they saw you. Trust can't always be re-established. You may have said things that were so over the limit for people that they will never feel friendly toward you, no matter how much you apologize. Try not to fault people for that.
