I want to start off here by admitting my guilt and apologizing for something that I am not proud of at all. I am guilty of an extreme lapse in judgment. I was the one David referred to recently who contacted a fellow member on his personal social networking site. Rather than my contact being welcomed, as I hoped it would be, it frightened the man and angered him at the breach of privacy. Let that be a lesson to all. Do not contact someone privately unless you are absolutely sure it will be welcomed. I was not sure. I only had the hope that it would be. Since we had been friendly in the past. THAT is not good enough. I should have been sure. I learned the very hard way. Let my experience be your guide.
I wish to apologize to the man in question. He will never have to fear that I will contact him again. Either through PM, a post or a social networking site. I am not a stalker. I am VERY sorry for any stress I may have caused you. You will never hear from me again.
As for the other assertions in David's posts. I do apologize for any part I may have played in stressing him out and taking his focus off of the tremendous workload he carries. He probably thinks me guilty of many things. Very few of them true. Most of them not. With all he has gone through in the last week with lowlife criminals trying to break into the office and so on, I can't blame him for seeing a conspiracy under every rock. As they say, "It's not paranoia when they really are out to get you." David is majorly stressed and I'm sorry what you have gone through David.
Please take care of your health also David. This storm will pass. I hope that one day your faith in humanity will be restored to its rightful place. You cannot know the depth of my appreciation for the 2 years that I've had here at your, Eddie's and Mark's site. It has been wonderful.
I agree that it is definitely not the way the things are supposed to be. The site and forum are supposed to be for fun and entertainment. Over the past few days I have been losing weight and my blood pressure has been soaring. I have had to take more BP medication just to stay close to normal.
I admit that after being here for so long I wanted to learn more and more about how the site worked. When info became available to me (through non internet sources) of course I was curious about it. Discussing a favorite pastime in private is not unusual. Nor illegal. There are whole sites and chat rooms devoted to nothing but the discussion of various favorite teams, sports, activities and so on.
I have laid out pretty succinctly what I have done. Now here are the many things that I have never done. I have never hacked David's facebook page to dig up dirt on him. I have never contacted any friends or acquaintances of his to learn about his childhood. And very, very importantly I have never had anybody share tidbits of David's past that might have been gleaned from such snooping. If anybody in my circle of friends here was the one who did contact your relatives I was totally unaware of it. And you know of course that it was not me.
If I offered words of support to a young man who was very depressed, that does not mean that I was oblivious to the reason why he got himself in the situation he was in. It does not mean that I am taking his side over somebody else's. In fact I may agree with the other person's take. While simultaneously trying to comfort someone who might turn suicidal. In a case like that...yes, I am willing to reach out to him. It is not a betrayal when I happen to understand or agree with the other people's reasons for him being in that situation.
A while back when there was a major breach of models' names and identities fom BCB on a social website I contacted 2 of them with the warning about the breach. And advised them to contact others. They both thanked me and were very kind and gracious. I promised them that I would never contact them again. And I kept my word.
