This is a PM I received from WMM over on HC, several days ago. As the reader will note, permission is tacit to post it here...
Mike can you help me?, Mar 1 2007, 01:20 PM
Your sticky post over at DBS means something.....
And I would like the opportunity to show people that I can be a positive member of the board.
In other words I would like my chance to speak about what I have learnt......in this whole thing.
For One I have learnt people misunderstand me because of my lack of typing skills.....and my over-bearing nature.
Lincoln really put it on me regarding what people like about me which is as far as I can see absolutely nothing...and that is exactly what he was getting .....And the Truth is I haven't given anyone a chance to get close enough too even consider liking me or to even nurture a friendship.
It's taken a lot of retrospect on my part to even come to these conclusions and I don't want them to be for nothing.....
As far as Lib Goes......I remember a Time that he gave me the benefit of the doubt as did you.....
But because of my own behaviour I have fucked it all up .......
Anyways Mike My Name Is ******************* I'm 38 years old and I have a wife and 4 children, I bleed Red....
My politics are Not Left or Right.......But a bit of both.....
My religion was Judaism ......and now I'm an athiest.
Does that make me less of a Jew......I don't Know But I do know That among the North American Jewish Community I am considered a Pariah.......and Not A Jew by my very own people.
Talk about harsh reality .......
My children go to temple and are accepted as well as my wife.... it's tough for her sometimes because of the choices I have made.
but as she says..... what's life without a bit of controversy......She calls me "little Satan" because I Almost always choose to play devil's Advocate.......And i'm sure you can imagine the strength of this woman ....considering she puts up with me......
I guess what I am trying to say Mike is that I am not unredeemable.......or a lost cause.
I know you Can't unban Me So Could you do me a favor ......
Post this on your thread ......at DBS.
If You Don't I understand.......
P.S.
In Writing this I have dropped My act ...My Persona ....What you are getting Is The REAL me.....
Shawn.
And this what I want as of Now.......To be Transparent ......And Not Misunderstood.
Thanks for your time.
The fact is, that I indeed could "unban" him...at least at the present time. I wouldn't dream of doing so, regardless of how dishonorable Dingo and a couple of others think I am.
The above was "on my radar" for several days before I finally thought it worthwhile to post it here. It deserves some attention. It deserves some consideration.
IMHO the man deserves a chance to post on DBS. One thing about a second chance...it doesn't automatically guarantee a third chance, does it?
