Try again. read my post, and try again. What did i say my only concern was?

Your parents "safety and sanity" won't improve through an online attack campaign. In fact this will probably make it worse. You are wildly stabbing a beehive and making unnecessary enemies. Again, I strongly suggest you leave before you do more damage to your family.

Your behavior is convincing no one of your dad's innocence, and in many cases is confirming what many people already suspect. I'm not offering advice, I'm pointing out the truth, which is plain to everyone. Continuing to vent here will only make your family look worse.

For anyone reading this, if you don't consider yourself a Christian, this doesn't apply to you, do as you please, and try to live up to whatever standard you'd like to hold yourself to.

Conversely, if you are reading this, and you consider yourself a Christian, if you believe you are a sinner, and have been saved by the everlasting blood of our Lord and Savior, then this is for you.  What are you doing coming here to see how much dirt, vitriol, insinuation, dissension and discord you can throw at the other side.  And before you think, "Yeah, that's what I think about [insert name here], too", I'm talking about PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES.  People on both sides taking shots at the other, people on both sides accusing the other side of being unhinged, or needing professional help.  You are tearing down your brothers and sisters in Christ, and no matter how much "righteous anger" you think you have, I don't think our Lord does anything but weep when his children attack their brothers and sisters, especially when many of those brothers and sisters ON BOTH SIDES are already suffering through tremendous suffering from this and other things the world is throwing at them.

We all have our favorite Bible verse that we like to throw around here to defend our actions.  To all, I ask you to read Galatians 5:16-25.  Ask yourself, is what your posting here come from a spirit of those things listed in verse 20:  rivalries, dissensions, divisions, strife, fits of anger, and the like?  Can we all try to fix our hearts, and perhaps let that overflow into you posts, more of a spirit of those things listed in verse 22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control? 

A challenge for you all.  A forty-eight hour cooling off period.  For the next forty-eight hours, meditate on those nine fruits of the spirit.  If you want to post, try to bring those nine fruits into your message.  There can be open and honest conversation without sowing dissension and discord.

Here you are again giving me advice. You have no idea what my family needs and continue airing your own opinion just like everybody else

If Suzanne and others are making this up, it should absolutely be made public.

If I recall correctly, she has said she it totally OK with everything being made public, so there is no need for ECC to think they have to cover for her no matter what the investigation uncovers.

Really great points GTA. Isn't it interesting that Suzanne's methods are those of a person looking to destroy another's reputation with a coordinated social media campaign. She didn't reach out to anyone, just bombs away. Yet we are all supposed to believe this is all in good faith. It is a campaign designed to inflict maximum damage pure and simple.

So now I'm confused. A few posts ago Jeromy stated that Suzanne had stopped posting. Which is it?

[HughHoney]

And this is what ”abuse of power” looks like:

With one snap of my fingers I could have another hundred people in here engaging and interacting. I've specifically avoided asking folks to do this because I don't think it's their job.

Not to mention intimidation.

Please snap your fingers again and get some better help

When the boat is full of holes and the rats are baling out, it’s hard to find more sailors?

[HughHoney]

Outside chance it burns up before it sinks

[Greentruth]

I’m referring to those on this thread that don’t realize how many of your usuals have found hiding. To support Suzanne’s most recent idiocy is another record breaking low

[HughHoney]

Did she say child abuse or someone else?

[Greentruth]

And trust me, I wouldn’t want to be standing in your boat for anything.

[Greentruth]

I’m sure you read it, what do you think when you do what she did on a site that’s only for child abuse. Or are you saying Suzanne is to dumb to know the difference?

[HughHoney]

I’m saying you’re too dumb to realize what you are stepping in and spreading around online dudeski

[HughHoney]

Can anyone link to the tweet with all the RTs?

[Greentruth]

I haven’t stepped in at all, and I’m smart enough to know you are dumb enough to advocate what is inherently dangerous rehtoric.

[arrogantcat]

I’m saying you’re too dumb to realize what you are stepping in and spreading around online dudeski

Would you describe yourself as intelligent?

Keep taking in air. No one would care if they knew your real name.
