Jojo:Bluntly, it was explained to me as your treatment of Su after the fact, and your drinking.Petrushka:Oh! Gracious, my personal life was explained to you ... when? Ah, I see... after I'd been banned, and couldn't make my own stand.Su... <sigh> Well, what *was* my 'treatment of Su'? We'll never know. She was supposedly a dear friend... but like the lot of the 'friendly' folks I've met over the Internet, they've all done no more than to turn my life into the living end. Well, unlike *Su*, I don't talk about people behind their back. Especially those I care about. For the record here, I'll say that Su met me online at a public forum, where an ex-lover of mine (who'd also met me at that forum) was telling nasty stories about me... untrue, too, but I'd lost any credibility I might have had by then anyhow, so there wasn't a whole lot I could say for myself. People tend to believe stories about people when they hear them from *other* people. Ones' own 'side' is not taken into account... I was banned for trying to sort things out. Never mind. I don't drink anymore, nor was I some drunken monster anyhow, at anytime, but who cares. God I hate people. You just can have no idea...Jojo:The drinking didn't mean shit to me cause I've been there done that, and the thing with Su, well I only heard one side of that, hers. and not from her directly.Petrushka:Maybe I'm finally making a bit of this 'progress' everyone is always talking about. That's the first time I've ever written that I hate people. I made a stand for what I believed in, or at least what I was hoping to find the truth about: unconditional love. Well, I dare say I learned... why people lie and just live with it, rather than be martyrs for truth. Jojo:No, not the same crossroads, and NOT an ultimatum.Petrushka:I don't get it. You say this now, but that's still what it sounded like to me. I've been tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep. Now I'm wide awake again. I'm cooking up a mess of oysters and bacon. 'Comfort food'...Jojo:As best I can put it is that these folks here have been through something like this before and STILL stopped and invited us in and now would like to move on.Petrushka:You go ahead. Don't let me keep you.Jojo:I want to tag along with them for awhile.Petrushka:Seems everyone's gone now. Hope everyone waited up for you.Jojo:I wish you would too, but not as negative Pete, who we all have seen,and will not be tolerated much more, but as the real Pete who we all have caught glimpses of and like and understand and would be welcome.Petrushka:Well, I guess I really ought to move along myself. Jojo:Of course you've been unbanned from the other forums,and I'll see you there,Petrushka:No, you won't. Oh maybe you'll notice me say 'It's been nice to hear from you' to the odd person on occasion, as I still read some of the threads. I can do that here too. 'The nice Peter'. Sure.Jojo: but I like this one alot and wish you'd come along! save bad pete for the other ones if you must.Petrushka:I'll keep him to myself. Where he belongs, right.Jojo:In any event, like Spock on Startreck, I am now and always will be your friend.Petrushka:No, please... I don't want any friend like that. Just go. Godspeed.
