Selah Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I pray he comes to terms with this, whatever it is. In the meantime, he will be in my prayers tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' timestamp='1328670427' post='2383442'] Too late, he's been banned. We will never know what his response would have been. DtA. Is. Fjoeapfjiroe. [/quote] Look no further than reply 10. He wasn't interested in rectifying the situation. He was interested in complaining and insulting. Perhaps next time he comes back, we'll be able to do something constructive. For some reason, I doubt it. Maybe he will mature and get past whatever grievance he had in the past and not come back anymore. For his sake, I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have apparently missed all the fun. Again. My parents weren't married either, at least not until they were 62 and 70 years old respectively. I was almost 30 years old before I found out that I was a bastage. Not proud of it, but not ashamed of it either. My dad was a deeply flawed man, as we all are. He was also a great man. If someone called him a sinner, I'd agree. I'm one too. We all are. Phatmassers are sinners, but we are trying. We find the fellowship here helpful in keeping us on the path of trying to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrestia Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Wow. The Internet is not real life. When I read something on line that hurts my feelings, I change web sites. Maybe he should try my approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rev Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I have known RighetousAnger for quite a while, he friended me on facebook a number of years ago. He truly does have a good heart. When my grandmother passed away almost two years ago I received a sympathy card from him in the mail, granted, I have never met him, but he was able to make a kind a gesture and reach out to me. I know that he has suffered some significant losses of loved ones in his life, his grandmother and even a parental figure. Although I do not wish to encourage this dialogue or be a mouthpiece for RighteousAnger, former CatholicinSD among his other aliases. He sent me a message on the facebook indicating that he felt some people were concerned for him, albeit his safety or emotional/mental health. He is fine and he wished for me to express that he wishes for either deus_te_amat to contact him and/or some member of the moderator team. As DeusTeAmat suggested earlier in the thread, that she prays for him and others do, I'd encourage you all to offer a simple Hail Mary for him, for the healing of past wounds in his life and for his family members who have died. May the graces of your prayers help him to continue to respond to God's love and invitation in his own life.

Guest Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 How did he know where you lived to send you a card ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rev Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I am sure he was able to ascertain the information from the facebook or he contacted the funeral home. It's not too hard to look up an obituary or see an obituary you posted on facebook or the link, and then go to whitepages and type in the family member's name and home city.

I'd like to put in my own two cents on the matter. First, up until him posting about being in high school, I had no idea he was a kid. From his previous visits, I thought that he was an adult. Had I known this I might have responded differently to him. Doubt I'd have changed my tone, but I probably would've altered my approach somewhat. I assumed I was speaking adult to adult. That said, I'm not particularly sorry about any of the posts I've addressed to him, either at present or in his previous visits. He is obviously old enough to know what sort of reaction his posts were going to receive. Second, I am sure that he has many admirable qualities. I've found that, even among the people I can least stand, people generally have many good qualities. That's pretty much the way of humans. We're all good and bad, to an extent. However, most people have neither the patience nor fortitude to seek out those qualities when someone makes a concerted effort to make an arse of themselves in public. If I go to every house on my block and stomp on people's flower beds, I shouldn't be overly shocked when I am rarely invited anywhere. Last, you mentioned several losses that were significant to him. I can totally empathize with that. Thing is, so can EVERY PERSON who is living. I recently made the comment to a co-worker that the reason that I can sometimes let certain things slide is that I try to look past externals (especially in my case, as an RN dealing with obnoxious patients) and remember that every person has grief. The flip side of that is that no one gets to claim a monopoly on their sorrows. Suffering doesn't excuse acting like a jerk. If you made any remark at all to this young man, I'd tell him that if he desires to reach out and to integrate himself with a community, he (and he alone) must take responsibility for his own behaviours. Life isn't easy and he's not going to find any group of people wherein he is able to live a life free and un-offended. Instead of behaving like a spoilt 6 year old who feels the world owes him something, he could stand tall, take charge of his own actions, and learn to deal with people in an adult fashion. That would go a long way in changing how people respond to him. I will say a Hail Mary for him and for his suffferings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
