Re: FRANCISCO....PLEASE STAY !!

[Guest guest]

You see? I don't deserve this. I came out and admitted that I was

the one who wrote to Francisco. I am being destroyed by people who

have heard half of the story. This is so unfair. Yes, maybe I

should have hit the delete key, but, as a MAN and NOT an SOB, I

talked to Francisco in private and not once did I mention or

insinuate that I had a problem with his being gay!

I will not post the e-mails that we wrote, but, I ASSURE you, I

NEVER said or insinuated ANYTHING about gay or straight.

To say that I don't deserve to walk the same ground as someone

infers that I should be dead....DEAD?!!! Thank you so much for that

thought. Unbelievable!

Rory...

I'm sure from our many discussions at the ez support group

meetings that normally I don't buy into the " Drama " on the board.

But this time I felt compelled to make a statement to Francisco

asking him to reconsider staying. I did this prior to reading

your " confession " . I will apologise for using a bad choice of

words. You are right SOB was a bad choice, I should have said

person. For the record I did say person, erased it and wrote in

SOB. In MY defense I will admit that I made a bad choice but I will

not take back anything I said to Francisco....I have to much respect

for him to do so. If you are upset by the euphanism that I used

regarding walking the same ground well...I guess you are just going

to have to get over it. Many words are said here in the heat of

passion and sometimes they ain't pretty. I am guilty as charged.

I'm not trying to start a war here but I've read the other posts and

I have to agree that the issue here is the right for a person, any

person, to say what they need and want to say. Afterall this is

supposed to be a safe place for all of us and it's not supposed to be

a place where people become so uncomfortable they feel they have to

leave.

Again, Rory, I am sorry... Perhaps it is now your turn

to turn the other cheek...
