People can be mad at me, but I'm not allowed to be mad at them. That I am nothing, to be tossed aside without thought. That there are no friends and no place for me in the virtual world either. I never hid the fact that I don't communicate well. I only talk to a dog. I just wish I never found this place. Because losing it because I am who I am hurts. I never meant to bring anyone else pain. I just wanted to be a part of the world too. I know what happens now. I am sorry. Recluse -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't have the same experience with Recluse as the other members on the forum, but it made me very sad to read his post. I keep thinking about it. Does anyone know: is it possible for him to come back to the forum? I'm thinking of a kind of probation; after a serious talk with him? Or are there too many hurt feelings among the forum? I realize that I don't know much of the troubles he caused. |

He always apologized afterward for bad behavior, but he always did it again. I hope for his own sake that he finds doctors he can trust and a treatment regimen that will help him achieve balance. But meanwhile, his problems are his responsibility to deal with. MR is not his therapy group, and it was not fair to the rest of the MR community to be subjected to Mr. Hyde. ______ Dennis |

I agree with you that it cannot be so, that other members are scared to visit MR because of the postings of a person. That is not acceptable; of course. I find it so sad to see another person suffer; even if he himself has caused it. I just wish there could be a way to give this person another chance, without hurting the feelings of the other members of the forum. |

I agree to missing the good side of Jon. (as well as occasionally being scared by his other side). How does one host or create a forum -- and is there a cost? I wonder if some subset of us could chat on a FOR (Friends of Recluse) chat list. Not as a subset of MR; I mean a whole other place. I don't know how they are started or run, but somebody here might have ideas?

I created and administer two such groups. Mine are invitational and moderated, and do not appear in the public groups listing. You can set one up, give the URL, and folks who want to join can request admittance in email. See https://groups.google.com/forum/?pli=1#!overview for information. ______ Dennis |

P.S. If you want to send your MR name too, I'll recognize who you are. P.P.S. We need more people, cuz *I'm* not much of a talker. P.P.P.S. JON if you see this, here's how YOU can get there: go to googlegroups.com sign in as <no longer listed here> password is <no longer listed here> on the right of my page (who knows where on a kindle) find BOLD PRINT that says "FriendsOfRecluse" and it's a link to the group Add a post to the group to talk. If prefer to do it in a mail window, toto GMAIL instead. Just reply to mail. - Deb Deb Last edited by badgoodDeb; 03-14-2011 at 03:47 PM. |

recluse does not have a computer! He was posting on a Kindle. Do you think he will be able to access the group?

Personally, I never believed that he was the tortured soul he kept portraying himself as. I always got the impression he was taking us all for a ride. I still think that's the case.
However, if it is true, I hope he gets the help he needs. |

I have a Kindle and it isn't the best browserexperience ( black/white, 6 inch) but I can access every site I want, but I won't as I have my iPad for mobile browsing. But it is doable.
