    it's a good idea not to jump to conclusions mommy - and not post a response until the author has finished posting. ditto tina.

    your friendly neighbourhood unwelcome one

    goo.

    ps. i'm familiar with essys story and she does not sound like the kind of person who is unintelligent enough to understand what i said nor immature enough to feel threatened by an idea. i give essy far more than that much credit not like some obviously.

    goo,
    essie and I are dear friends,she knows where Im coming from. I have nothing but respect and love for her,and she knows this-so knock it off with the cheap shots.
    And btw badassociate,glad you mentioned one of your aliases=hilary step,lol....you need to hone those trolling skillz.....I suspected it was you,and his parting post with references made of mine and MD's comments sealed it for me,that was something you and your aliases had been doing all along under various names lol. I've dealt with more adept and subtle trolls than you. btw,I never said LW was a troll,I remember him from the few posts he made on the old H20,but you 2 do have something in common,2 adult men who think discussing sex etc with 13 yr old girls is a right and appropriate behavior..... pervs of a feather.

    so who am I talking to here? you mommy & tina or essy? or are you her official spokespersons?

    sorry if I appear confused.

    I forgot you were out in the identifying and declaring work at the moment

    guess it wont be long til the rest of the gang show up

    but for everybodies information if essy tells me I've overstepped the line with my comment I will be more than happy to apologise -

    i think she'll understand what i've said because i get the feeling she has a sense of humour

    until then all other opinions are inconsequential to me.

    this is a forum and essy asked the question, by all means feel free to post your opinion on essys opinion

    but sorry i'm waitng for essys opinion on essys opinion.

    i hope thats ok for a

    friendly neighbourhood unwelcome one

    goo.

    ps. essy looking forward to your opinion on my comment
    and everything i've said is true.

    just as your opinions and trolling are inconsequential

    Goo,
    Not really sure how long I am supposed to give you to finalize your post. OK times up Actually I was responding to this question you asked,

    perhaps those here who are sharing in the identifying and declaring work may like to inform me, those engaged in the ministry of identifying and declaring who are the troublemaking unwelcome ones posting on exjw web sites?

    I am by no means the involved in any type of work such as you mentioned. But I do participate on this forum. I do also know that if you give a troll enough rope they will hang themselves. So buddy I will pick the chair back up under your legs, and help you down.

    Don't label yourself then ask why we are talking to you about it. You asked the question to begin with. And this attention you are drawing to yourself is negative attention, nothing positive about me wasting my posts on you. The only reason I respond is so the lurkers will not be afraid to jump on in. We don't bite everyone, as I am sure you noticed you don't even have a handful of people mentioned in your list and there are over 1400 regisered here. Do the math, then take a break and chill. You are hanging yourself here.

    Goo,

    I wouldn't choose to eject any that you named. Those who caused turmoil have either calmed down or left. Things seemed to returned to relative peace and civility lately. This community of posters seems to be pretty adaptive, and usely folks can iron out their differences, even when emotions are running pretty high.

    I will only mention one example. Emyrose was pretty upset for awhile, but I think she realized that we didn't mean to pick on her. I am glad that she didn't leave in an angry huff. I don't blaim her at all for getting angry. I think she and I are getting along fine now, and I wish her only the best in working through her problems and in having a bright future.

    Folks come here with all kinds of emotions and it is a freeing experience to be able to express them. They aren't going to get disfellowshipped for it, though they may get some pretty direct challenges. Sometimes it may be difficult, going from no freedom of speech, ala the kingdom hall, to the freedom as well as the directness experienced here. One thing we are not here is bland, like the supperficial kingdom hall dialogue.

    I think I am starting ramble, and I have no closing insight to make, so I'll finish here.
