Need to say..then i'll go..

Indeed.Caleb has asked me to delete his THISisCR account (he already has had the password on CR125 changed). I won't do that but it indicates his intentions.It makes me very sad. When Caleb first came here, years ago, the abuse was still going on and getting worse, and he was unable to stop it, or even talk about it. It was through contact with Diver here, and the slow but steady growth of trust between him and Caleb, that led to what was happening being discovered, stopped, and punished. I am sad that what started to the credit of A2A has ended so badly.

That was a joke, sarcasm, see it, use it, love it.And I am SO sorry, cause you know, i should have guessd, CBW, not CBG, Theres me being all silly braind again.

It's been mentioned before, just in different words...

Okay, here's the deal. This whole mess has really bothered me. I know all that "it's just a message board don't take it too seriously" stuff...but we're talking about real people here, right?Back when this disaster first began, it was suggested to me in a private message by Ineligible (is that Pete?) that maybe I was confusing Caleb with Still Searching. My response was no, I knew exactly who I was speaking about. Anyway, I was so bothered by all of this as of late that yesterday I went back and looked at the previous posts by Caleb and Searching Boy. He was right. I was thinking of Searching Boy when I made my comments concerning Caleb on that infamous thread. Man. I feel horrible. You guys are right. Caleb is often very down on himself, and that's understandable. But he certainly isn't crude and rude to people like Searching Boy can be. I knew that previously. I think because I was talking to them both privately a few months ago, about similar stuff, I confused the two.So...I don't want to look like I'm making excuses for anything. And I know there are people on the board who take pleasure in stomping on me who I don't want to give further reason to do so.But the bottom line is that the entire brou-ha-ha indeed began with me making a mistake by thinking of one kid when I was speaking about another. And that had a huge ripple effect. And while I am nowhere near the heartless bastard I'm being portrayed as, I'm responsible for the mess. And I'm sorry. Hopefully I'll get the chance to apologize to Caleb and make things right with him.I still contend that some of the comments made toward me, and some of the ways I have been portrayed throughout this were very much out of line and not helpful at all. But that being said, I know that if I hadn't made my snafu that started the whole thing, it would never have come to that.So, can we drop it now? I sincerely apologize for my mistake and it's inadvertent repercussions. I accept responsibility for what can be fixed and what can't be fixed. I hope this can be the end of it as far as you guys are concerned.

Im glad I waited, I debated for a long time if I shuold kick ya when ya was down or not, since I dont have to, ya want a hand back up from the ground?

i have talked to damion and this is done.....case closed! i forgive him.....it was a mistake. i know i have assloads of mistakes...i should have never coused this. I shoudl never have posted anythign thing in the stupid abortion thread. i'm sorry (too). i'll be around but not posting much (if any) for now anyways.

I'm very glad to see you back.

If you feel that I was kicking you and it was out of line than I apologize. As I said, I was very angry and maintaining my objectivity was just something that I apparently couldn't do. For that I apologize to you, damien.

Likewise, I'm glad to see you back Caleb.

Aww, now I feel bad cause I think that what ya said wasn't acceptable when aimed at one person but it was when aimed at another.

Damn you Damien, you've given me a crisis of conscience, you bastard!!

Yay, you're back! If I could, I'd welcome you with open arms.Much love and hugs to you!

I thought about that too.
when insearch was here I think he deserved alot of what he got, how ever he seemed much more uhhhh willing to look at his own fuck ups and seeking some help when he returned as still searching.
Not all of his posts were fuck yous, some were actual thoughts and he seemed alot more willing to take advise, as well as give some, instead of jsut trying to be a dick.
I think it all depends on the persons attitude, a dick head deserves what they get, someone whos simply fucked up or trying to find answers should be cut some slack.
It was shitty to jump calebs ass, even though he thought he was jumping still searchings ass.

It doenst make it right simply because its someone else and mistaken identity. but it does make it more so understandble when you look at 90% of seachings past.

Well I'm glad everyone's feeling better about this whole thing now that we realized he wasn't actually talking about CR!!Fantastic news.

actually, if you read what I wrote, youd noice I also defended you and said that while you once deserved it you come off as more genuine now and no longer do.

I just replied to the last person. Didn't mean to reply to you directly.I just couldn't help but notice all the "oh I'm so relieved he wasn't talking about CR" comments. And you basically summed up my point already:"It doenst make it right simply because its someone else and mistaken identity"But whatever, as long as everyone's happy

sooo
I bugger off for a month and I'm worried I might have missed something.
ummm, nope. business as usual :smile:
carry on team

dang the attack on Damien is amazing.

What's amazing about it is: -It was callous and crude.-Instead of apologizing for offending both people, he only apologized for offending CR125, not StillSearching. Interesting.
