What Happened To The Post About The Hate Crime?

Amen to concentrating on supporting and not hurting Lost.
Java,

Hey, I was not balming the board. I was actually apoligizing for posting that. I should have known better. It didn't even cross my mind that people would post hurtful things like they did. I should have figured it being such a controverial subject.

I am sorry if anyone took as if I was blaming them.

Vinny,

If you are not banned and you are reading this. I just want to say that you are more than welcome to your opion and to stick up for what you feel is right. I am sorry I posted something you felt strongly against. I will never do that again. I would also like an apology from you to April. I know you where probably joking but that is not reason to call her what you did. You know that was wrong. It hurt her and myself. I know April maybe got a little defensive but she obivously also feels strongly about the situation.

TO: EVERYONE

I am sorry.


I have to take my boyfriend to work now. Talk to ya all later

I am very new here, and I know NOTHING about april, or vinny, all I do know, is I read the entire post and this vinny did call someone named april a dyke he added a (lmao) after the word dyke, and he then asked her if she was the male or the female in the relationship. Not sure why some of you have such a hard time believing he said it, but he did. I read it. Why would I lie about it, I know nothing about either of them!

I have nothing to gain by saying this about this person, I have never spoken with either of them, but with so many people saying vinny would never say that or poor vinny, you might not know him as well as you thought, or he just felt attacked and responded with name calling and acting like a child.. I

I also am finsihed posting here. I came for support myself, but people want to get personal and start attacking others.. I am sure it is now my turn to be attacked for simply saying what was in the post last night.

I was in the process of typing this and entering it when lost love wroter her apology... I am sorry for bringing it back up again. I just got crossed in cyber space. I sincerely apologize
Thank you Boo and Java. I just try to stay away from all the drama and I kind of felt responsible for this one.

Anyway, thank you guys! Hope you are having a good day.

mom,

some things are better left unsaid, especially if it was already removed.

terrianne
....and somewhere out there, that Roger dude is thanking Vinny for taking the heat off of him! lol

Happy Sunday everyone!

Rach

mominnc...it's your decision whether or not you will leave, but let me tell you that this fighting goes on all the time...and things blow over....people get put in time out, and come back...most apologize....

In the meantime, most of this board is based on helping each other...

your choice.


Well said Rach...our ol' buddy Roger stirred the pot and ran...
Lisa,
So you've never copied a thread for a friend to see? You've never forwarded an e-mail to someone else that was written for your eyes only? You've never talked about anyone including me from this board on another message board?? For everyone in cyberspace to read?? FYI, Terrianne copied it for me because I asked her to. I was going to bed and I knew words would get twisted and made out to sound worse than what they were. Then the mod's would remove it and everyone would be left hangin.. I know what that thread lost-love started was about. Vinny was sticking to the subject at hand. It had to do with interacial mixing and gay people. He was giving his opinion and it was NOT directed to April nor was it directed towards the boy that died in the hate crime. April is the one that made it all about her. Then she comes in all defensive about being gay. Claiming she was defending ALL gay people in the world against people like Vinny...

I know you know and everyone knows how defensive April gets. As soon as one person says something to her she goes on and on about it. Thread after gets started and then the next day she usually apologizes. In this case it wasn't even directed at her and look at how it has been blown out of proportion with people feeling sorry for April. She eats this sh*t up.. She provoked the whole thing, I saw it..

If someone is secure with being gay then what Vinny or anyone else says about it shouldn't matter, should it? If Vinny wants to apologizing for saying April was a dyke if that is what he said then that is up to him..Nobody can make someone apologize and mean it. That has to come from the person and on their own time. One more thing the last time I checked dyke wasn't an ugly word. To me it just means that a woman in a lesbian relationship may play more of a man role then the other woman. However, in some cases now a days both woman play the role of being a woman and not a man. Would the word are you a butch be more appropiate?? I guess it is all in the tone. If April and Vinny were face to face I think they could talk about this like adults and it wouldn't get all twisted around. Just my 3 cents.. Rae

Ps.Mominnc, you were the one that saw it last night and I don't believe anyone else stepped up to say the saw it as well. I believe you if you say Vinny said it. I am good friends with Vinny, I know he is capable. However, you probably shouldn't have said anything at all.. April didn't see it, the mod's removed it and look what has happened. Sometimes it's better not to say anything at all, especially if you thought it would hurt someone else's feelings... Welcome to the board though and I hope you stick around. This thread will be removed soon and things will get back to normal around here..It isn't always like this..
bcchic,

hahahah so true, why wasnt he raked thru the coals????

Mominnc-

Anywhere you go, there are always going to be a few bad apples in every bunch. That is just life.

I wish you would not go................This board has been great to me, it is most always very kind and supporting. I have gained so much strength here.

Whenever you get a large group of people together there is always going to be a little conflict once in a while.

Dont let this get in the way of you getting the support you need. I wish you would stick around.
Mom,

I hope you read this.

I remember when I first came here, I felt the same way as you. I hurt me to see people attacking each other. It made me afraid to say anything in fear of being attacked or made fun of.

I have just learned to stay out of it when ever possible. And like you I feel the need to stick up for people when I felt they were being treated unfairly.

No one has really ever been mean to me here. I guess I have just been lucky. Most be say take what you need and leave the rest.

My email is jupiter2345@aol.com if you ever need someone to talk too. I try and help others and stay out of the drama.

I am sorry all of this has made you want to leave. I hope you stay. I will try and be there for you as much as possible if you give it another shot. I am not a drama queen and I really enjoy helping others.

Good luck to you and I hope you stick around. Email me if you ever need anyone. I tell you all about me and my story and we can help each other.

Always,

Lost-love
so everyone...if you aren't careful about what you say someone will have to start a post titled
