Ummm...Geordan, you are obviously not reading the all of the posts, all of
my post here, or follow-up posts properly.
JESSE WROTE ALL OF THAT! Get it now? Jesse himself brings up things like
that, in simple posts to .space. He uses off-hand remarks about how horrible
his life is to justify any post where he is pegged for not making sense, or
rambling on, or whatever. WE DON'T GIVE A CRAP!
There is no real excuse for the posts he has made which frustrate or anger
others, because we couldn't care less who he is, where he comes from, or
what is in his past. All that we care about is how he communicates with us,
and that is extermely poorly. That's how LUGNET works...we don't care who
you are, or what has happened to you, as long as you communicate about your
hobby well. Doesn't that sound nice?
Now, I'm not saying that we don't have a care for the trials and
tribulations of anothers life, and it sounds like Jesse may have had a doozy
so far, but that does not excuse him for anything here. LUGNET is a fresh
start for anyone who wishes it. But it is also a place to primarily talk
about LEGO. If Jesse would like to talk about his family, school and life
problems, he would do much better starting a new thread in .people about it,
and see who will offer him the support he seems to want. But it is
continually inappropriate in .space, etc.

See above. Jesse has reaped as he has sown.
