Since you don't know the whole story (and neither do I), and I'd like to assume
there's always two sides to every story, why would you want to exacerbate the
issue here on the newsgroup, and give it more depth? I mean, practice what you
preach, doubleduh. It certainly doesn't need the bandwidth, imo.

why do you care, if you've decided not to be part of this group? And if
you want to be part of this group, why not post your
concern/dilemma/single parenting issue and we'll see what people come up
with. Don't decide you won't get any support here until that happens.
IF it happens.

because it's not for you to say who does and does not belong here.
for that matter, it's not for any of the other people who seem to
think of this newsgroup as their own private domain. i don't know
how many times that has to be repeated. if you, or others want your
own personal sandbox, then set up a PRIVATE mailing list.

from the various flames and off-topic postings that this peter guy
puts up, he comes across to me as being kind of disturbed. i mean,
anybody who says that he's gone out on dates with various women and
found them *all* to be selfish sounds to me like someone with a
problem.
in this fingerpointing exchange here, i don't know who to believe;
i suppose i don't really care enough to research the matter. however,
i've seen enough lies and misrepresentations of my postings on this
newsgroup to definitely be suspicious of anything that peterd posts.
at the very least postings such as these seem extremely petty. in
fact, the stuff about being interviewed by the fbi sounds pretty
far-fetched. i don't know what that was all about, but if he were
suspected of being some sort of pedophile (as, by the way, he has
accused *others* of being - see the thread "want a baby" to see what
i mean) i would have thought that they wouldn't have wanted to tip
their hand until they had a chance to collect some information (e.g.
from his isp or employer without his knowledge).
hey, i may not be a parent but from some of the people in this
newsgroup i'm learning a lot about child behavior. you know who
you are out there - now go get those census forms and increase
the number of children in the household by 1.
i can't say that i've had enough exchanges with lorian to have formed
an opinion about her.
Peter F. DeMos
> Nobody can get anybody else fired from their job if they did nothing

Spare me, Karen. You take this "I'm the middle roader" WAAAY too far...
And it's nothing but cr*p. NO ONE wants, or should *have*, to explain
themselves to their boss, their spouse, ANYone, what one is doing on a
newsgroup.
I was doing nothing illegal, and yet I had to endure COUNTLESS emails to
my boss, my boss's isp, and ultimately calls to the FBI, where I had to
go be interviewed, and basically WARNED that this thing I'm playing with
is a snake, and very dangerous. Robbin had the same thing. And when Rob
stopped posting from her work account, and started posting privately?
That snake STILL contacted Rob's place of work, threatened them, and
said she felt threatened and it was Rob's fault, ergo IU was partly
responsible. D-E-S-P-I-C-A-B-L-E.
I have NEVER had the net taken into my living room in the manner that
this thing has. NO ONE should have to endure anything like that, just
because a person is so mentally disturbed that she'll try any way she
can to get someone fired, or arrested, just because she blames the
world, her "brief lay in the sack sperm donor", and her daddy for not
loving her enough.
The letters to my boss insisted on my being fired, or she'd bring "legal
action" against the isp and my company. When that fizzled, she brought
in the police and ultimately the FBI.
Now, she can DENY trying to get any of us fired, and you can SAY that
it's no.big.deal, but I think you're both....
Full.of.bull.
And obviously, 98% of the people around here agree. So go ahead and show
us how smart you are. Show us how "even" you are. I say: bull.

Peter, why not take your own advice and stop persistently explaining it to
us.
Where has it got you six months down the line?
What do you hope to achieve?
Any way I read it as Karen vindicating you by virtue of the fact that you
did NOT loose your job.

You close yet another reprimand about not being able to control who stays/goes with
instructions to set up a private mailing list and "don't let the door hit you on the
way out..."
Is it somehow for you to say who does or doesn't belong here?
susan didn't command anyone to leave, she simply asked, as others have before her,
why a person stays when they claim this group is not what they expected or wanted.
The difference is not so subtle it can't be seen.

I post from work account and use my real name. It's real easy to identify
me, my employer, work address, etc.
On another newsgroup, about a year ago, a fellow subscriber got irked at
me, and contacted my employer. She masqueraded as a potential client and
schmoozed with my boss on the phone several times and finally turned the
conversation to his employees and their work skills and ethics.
Then, whammo, she went off about me harrassing and stalking her on Usenet.
Immediately, the fax machine went berserk with tons of hard copied postings
from me, in followup to her that she was fax'ing. My boss got emails that
insinuated all sorts of things that I made his company look bad, and his
equipment and computers were being used for harassment and stalking, and so
on.
My postings are an open book. My employer could see everything I posted. I
did nothing wrong, slandered no one, stalked no one, never used vulgar
language, and nothing had to be battled out that I did or didn't because
it's all here for everyone to see.
Anyway, that's only my point. That employers are liable and if we do
nothing wrong while on their clock, then there's nothing to explain.
That's how I see it. It has nothing to do with taking sides or being even
or anything. Of course, I did learn that I spend too much time posting when
I should be working... please don't turn me in, though.

I didn't do any such thing. He complained about the "lack of support"
at the same time as admitting that he'd never posted here before. So I
simply asked why he cared if there's no support if he doesn't plan to be
part of the group.

original posting but to those few who used as an excuse to slag

In answer to the huge can of worms I seem to have opened I would
like to make a few things clear. Obviously I don't know the
full story and all I wanted was for someone to reply to let me
know whether this support group was used soley by the
psychotic! If it is (and from many of you replys that seems to
be the case) then I might just feel right at home.
Secondly 'he' (who is excluded from private mailing groups) is
actually a she! The name I am posting under is that of my son
who likes seeing his name on the net. Finally the huge debate
cuurently raging about whether or not I will be allowed to join
this little support group must be silenced. I am here to stay
and to utilse a phrase of my sons 'you can't stop me'
To all those who enjoyed disecting my last message I hope this
one gives you food for thought and I also hope that in tearing
me to shreds you alleviate you own sense of inferiority.

>Secondly 'he' (who is excluded from private mailing groups) is actually a she!
The comment made by Kate was directed at Ronald -- our resident never married,
childless l00n who likes to stir up trouble.
>The name I am posting under is that of my son who likes seeing his name on the
net.
That's very nice for your son, but you might want to fill everyone else in on
what your name is -- it lends you much more credibility.
>Finally the huge debate cuurently raging about whether or not I will be

this little support group must be silenced. I am here to stay and to utilse a

Noone is trying to stop you from joining -- you came into the ng with a very
provacative statement/question, and you got exactly what those kind of
questions prompt. Why don't you relax, stop being defensive, and start over by
introducing yourself and letting people in on what your particular
circumstances, as a single mother, are. You will get a lot more positive
feedback in return.
Furthermore, look up the FAQ, and you will get the answer to your original
question about what the purpose of this group is.

He is a loser!! He actually considered having a child, purposefully, on his

I'll interject here. A friend of mine believes that some of the sickest
people on the net are attracted to the groups with "support" in their
title. Sadly, I have come to agree with her.

You'll notice, I hope, that several were polite, and responded directly
to your question. For example, Pat wrote:

I've seen no one debating your right to "join." I've seen some of the
resident morons that have taken up residence here lately use it as an
excuse to slap you and others including myselft, but no one has said you
can't join. It just gave the trolling few a chance to go off on another
ugly tangent. The kind this group has bean infected with for about....
six months. A couple of joined since the original sicko came here, (the
one you id'd immediately) but for the most part this is, and has
historically been, a good group. A group doesn't get a FAQ as well
developed and complete without having gone through a lot of growth, and
growing pains.

That has bean the mystifying part. The person you noticed now is lucky
to get a "well, I don't hate her." I too find it bizarre that anyone
would day in, day out, put up with nothing but negativity, and the need
to destroy something they aren't even a part of.
> Finally I am here to stay

As much as you sound like a "level-headed" person, don't be so sure.
I've bean around newsgroups/BBSs for a long time, and I've seen *many* a
person excluded to the point they just leave because no one gives them
the time of day. Eventually the tree that isn't heard leaves, cuz it
gets bored with no response/reaction. Of course, today's new age poster
(Thanks Billy G!) doesn't seem to exhibit the control this venue used to
employ.
Anywho, welcome aboard. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And what's
your name?

I didn't get an engraved invitation to post here, or any synopsis of what
happened before I came, so my advice is not make such a big deal about it and
post if you want, or don't if you don't want to, ok? If you're that curious
about the endless saga, then try DejaNews to read the archives, but it's not
that interesting and it still doesn't solve anything.

Have fun with us mixed up insane group!! Glad to have another abnormal

b
jar
have got over the polite introduction stage. My name is Shannon
and I live in Ireland. My son is five years old and a real pain
in the backside at times (just being honest) the rest of the
time he's the best child in the world.
My situation is a strange one but I'll tell you about it anyway
because it's kind of fairytaleish (don't think that's a real
word but what the hell.) I fell pregnant with my son at the
ripe old age of eighteen and although I had been with my partner
for quite a while he shot through and left me holding the baby -
well actually he was just a bump at that stage. We stayed in
contact but he never saw Josh, he never asked how he was doing
and he never spoke to him on the phone. Having said that he
always sent me money and he always checked on how I was doing.
Anyway to cut a long story short on Josh's fourth birthday he
asked to see him and I said he could. So for the past year and
a half he has been the best dad a child could ask for. He sees
him for two weekends a month (and he has to come from mainland
Britain to do so.) There is no romance between us and there
never will be but I can honestly say that he is the best friend
I have!
At the moment I am doing a degree in English (and before someone
posts a witty account of all my spelling mistake I'd like to
make it clear that I know I can't spell) and I can honestly say
that life is good. The only problem is that there don't seem to
be enough hours in the day and most of the time I fell like I've
just been run over by a train.
So thats my life story (I feel like I've just been to
confession) although I am aware that noone will be interested in
the slightest but I just thought I'd tell you anyway because
thats just what us Irish are like - bore you to death given half
a chance.
And finally (everyone sighs with relief) at the risk of being
laughed into oblivion I thought I would say that contrary to my
original impression most of you seem alright. Just one more
thing is it compulsory to type an inappropriate quote or mantra
at the end of your postings?

Yes, I notice a whole lot of shredding going on here too but there are some
great folks here and some witty ones too. I'm Lorian, single mother of one
13-year-old boy. How many children do you have?

Hiya Shannon. There are a lot of other single parent students here. We're
all rather... frayed at times. I think Maureen wins the "overachiever
award" though. Five children, single parent, full time student. If you
need tips, she'd be the one to go to. I'm a 3/4 time student and mother of

Why, yes, it is compulsory. That's very astute of you to notice it. In

She is about as dangerous as my left toe. You guys just don't know
Lorian. Peter asked for a lot of it. Robbin got lippy. I would have
turned her in too if somene posted my name for sex.
She deserved a little spanking at work. Peter deserved a little

about her.
That is the perfect example of knowing about the whole story. Gosh.

You'd be surprised. One of my ethnographic interests is sexuality (both
hetero- and homo-). There's a lot of variability as to what is considered
"normal." For example, outside the industrialized world, the "missionary"
position is not the standard sexual position. Why do you think it's
called "missionary" in the first place? It's what those weird, uptight
'Merican evangalists do.

Actually the debate gets a little twisted around, so it's not quite so
dramatic you need to polish the battle cries. <g> Some people get the
notion that disagreeing with someone equals an attempt to exclude them
or run them out of the group. Maybe they're projecting a bit. Most here
are smart enough to realize you and only you are in control of where
your keyboard takes you. And you weren't the "he" excluded from any
private mailing list - that was ron, our resident proponent of telling
people they can't tell anyone else what to do by telling them what to
do.

Sounds like what a lot of us have in our lives these days. And maybe it
seems boring on paper, but there are days that are nothing less than
action-packed adventure! It's great that you and your ex are friends and
raising him together. Good for you - we all know how hard that can be at
the beginning stages.

homo-). There's a lot of variability as to what is considered
"normal." For example, outside the industrialized world, the
"missionary"
position is not the standard sexual position.
not in the last Human Sexuality course I took.
Well I can only quess that you 'gals' are American. Here in
Ireland people have families of fifteen and still find it hard
to come to terms with the fact that they have actually - you
know - engaged in the necessary occupation. Of course you guys
actually go on courses about it (does this mean that you were
all found to be below average technique wise? I mean are they
compulsory for those who don't have a natural talent?) When I
think about it now - English degree or Human Sexuality course -
right thats it . . . I'm coming to America!
I really can't think of a good quote - I have come up with two
so I'll try them out on you. See what you think.
1 - 'Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.'
(ok. so this is cleary way too pretensious)
or
2 - 'Feck ye and the horse you rode in on'
(this on the other hand only makes sense if your an Irish bog

I took Human Sexuality back in 1983 at American River College. It was a very
popular class to take and the huge lecture hall was jammed packed. Sometimes we
saw films that showed different couples having sex (homosexual, hetero, and umm
individual, iirc), another had the radio spot (George Carlin's seven words you
can't say on TV... haha, that's sure changed!), we talked about birth control,
stds, etc. The course was not a "how to" but more one to teach tolerance and
awareness.
I don't think we had tests.

No but the study groups were lots of fun! : ) Actually, the course
centered on responsible practices, anatomy, variations in sexuality,
fetishes, disfunction, counseling techniques, STD's, diseases that affect
normal functioning, and ageing and sexuality. It was a very good course.
Besides that, the book had pictures. hehe

I've taken three english courses and enjoyed them all. Had to call a friend
in England while writing a paper on irony in Isaac B. Singer's "Gimpel the
Fool". No one understands irony quite like the English. Why is that ya
think?

Kind of like my quote. "If I get hit in the face, I did it."
Or, "What you think of me is none of my business. What I think of you is

Replikate came from needing a new identity on the 'net because of a
stalker - the one I was married to and used the 'net to get away from. He
use to post nasty things after my posts... I got fed up. After numerous
tries to get a hotmail addy name I liked led me to try duplicate (as in I
was duplicating my efforts in getting a name to work), replicate, and
finally replikate. 'Kate stuck 'cause it was easier to type on IRC. So
you're not so far off. :) My real name freaks me out when I see it.

then maybe peterd is in the 0.01%? i mean, if practically everybody
is selfish then it makes absolutely no sense to call people selfish
if that's the default condition. i mean would you go around calling
people "air breathers"?
to that extent given the number of times that i've seen people tossing
the "selfish" label around on this newsgroup either there are several
people here who are in the "0.01%", or there are several hypocrites on
this newsgroup.
i'm betting on the latter...

of course when i first posted here it was in the context of asking
about others who might have considered the single parent by choice
option. i was rather set upon for my inquiry and have noticed that
others posting similar inquiries have also been set upon by many of
the same people. as i've said before, i post here because it is
my intention to see that behavior change. this group is not the
private sandbox of a small group of people, and people have a right
to discuss single parent by choice topics without being criticized
by those who became single parents by divorce who are too narrowminded
to realize that other people can make decisions other than the ones
that they made. ya got all that?
but nonetheless, you've got 3 options:
1. learn to live with it.
2. stop reading my posts. of course, if you post something
i may comment on what you've written but since you wouldn't
be reading them, you wouldn't know the difference.
3. go to "private" mailing list option; then you and others
can have you own private sandbox and you can keep me out.

i suppose people evaluate others by what's important to them. from
what i read here, your criteria for distinguishing "winners" from
"losers" is the presence of children. that's your definition, maybe
because it's the one thing that you've done in this life.
i however have done others things with my life. so while it's true
that i have no children, i am *definitely* not a loser. but then
that's my criteria and not your's apparently.
for instance, how many books have you written and had published?
how many degrees do you have and where did you get them? what do
you do for a living? these are all rhetorical questions so i'm
not asking them for you to answer so much as to suggest that there
are more ways to determine whether a person is a "loser" than
whether they have children or not.

<< ya got all that?
but nonetheless, you've got 3 options:
1. learn to live with it.
2. stop reading my posts. of course, if you post something
i may comment on what you've written but since you wouldn't
be reading them, you wouldn't know the difference.
3. go to "private" mailing list option; then you and others
can have you own private sandbox and you can keep me out. >>
Yep, sign my name to this, too. Makes perfect sense and I agree.

Hey. Goofball? You wouldn't know from Mensa if it came up and bit you in
the arse.

ROTFLMAO!!! Yeah. May I attain to post where I'm not wanted, and
ridiculed, with nigh on every post I make. You, and your mommy, must be
vewy pwoud. What "other things" to do with your life do you have,
anyway?
Loser....
> what do you do for a living?
All of this is secondary to "how many children do you have?". You see,
moron, this is a group for single parents, and those who have bean
single parents.
Now, I couold CHOOSE to post in a support group devoted to parents of
autistic children. Why, I could even profess to have a desire to ADOPT
an autistic child. But once I'd decide to NOT adopt n autistic child,
and I reMAINED a person who is not a parent of an autistic child?
Why.... "deacon blues"? All the friggin' book smarts, all my flippin'
degrees, and YES, my valid membership in Mensa (of which you and I can
compare membership numbers and chapters) would tell me I probably didn't
beLONG in a support group for parents of autistic children.
And if said parents were to reMIND me that I probably didn't understand
their plight, and was furthermore not welcome, why.... all my good
learnin', and all my social skills, would tell me to grow up, move on,
and quit fighting windwills.
But then, I'm an adult.

no, you're incorrect - i'm posting to a newsgroup where *you* don't
want me to post. however, i don't make the faulty assumption that
your wishes are *everyone's* wishes. for you to infer such is faulty
logic on your part, or narrowminded thinking on your part...take your
pick.

i personally don't belong to mensa. it would again be faulty logic
on your part to assume that just because you wanted to join mensa
that everyone who *could* join wants to join.
> But then, I'm an adult.

well if that's what you think, then you DEFINITELY undercounted the
number of children in your household by 1 on your census form!

Au contraire, oh deluded one; not that that is a new state of mind,
obviously. Any man who can't find a woman to spend the time necessary to
exchage DNA so she can get on the deluxe gravy train and never work
again, obviously has some *SEVERE* problems. No prob here, kiddo. You
continue to count Lorain, Vicky, and the like, as your friends.
I'm quite sure that's gotten you very far in the world so far (how many
kids you say you have?!?!?!), and who am I to argue with success!!!
Lololol.

WHy.... why..... I'm SHOCKED AGAIN! Moron that you are!

BBBBZZZZZTTTTTT!!!! Faulty logic alert! Faulty logic alert!
I've bean a member since the early 80s (once my drug-addled mind cleared
and I was able to smell the t00lips. Why in spite of being in a coke
injected-haze 5 hours after taking my SATs, my scores were still 12th
overall in the nation.
You, the hillybilly, or the lamppost think I'm postulating? Then bet me
:-) I'll be happy to compare SATs.
But it'll cost ya.
See ya :-)
Moron.

Damn... should I get my membership card out? Give the secret handshake?
LOL What a pretentious group. They certainly prove that being intelligent
has no bearing on success.

Er... oops then, Peter. I wouldn't join Mensa because I saw them as a self
serving group. I'd rather spend the volunteer time affecting others lives
for the better.

Nensa is filled with a bunch of l00zers who try to imagine themselves
better than the masses, due to ONE factor.Their meetings are filled with
"my degree is better/bigger than your degree" cr*p.
In my opinion? They're nothing but a bunch of sad morons. But "deacon
blues".boy made the st00pid reference, and I'll TAKE Shove Anthything
down Goofball Boy's Throat for $500 that I can.
Don't worry. We're on the same page, if not for the same reason.
