I understand where you are coming from. I just really want to be clear on soemthing, please.
People who come here are all worthy of support unless they come here to solicit minors for sex or have other unlawful purposes in mind.
This means that Brian and David are each worthy of support, for example. It also means, though you may not see it yet, that I am supporting you while chastising your behaviour.
There is a difference between condoning something and forgiving it. I can forgive very easily, and we should all do that. To condone something is different. Before we can even look at that we need to understand it. That understanding can only come if we are given real information. And we may still object to a behaviour rather than condone it. Since I have insufficient information here I am neutral. Should I be granted that information I will make a private and unpublicised decision.
Please never "call someone on a lie" in public here. There are very few occasions when this will do anyone any good.

Marc,
I don't know how you measure hurt. It's one of those things "You'll know it when you feel it". And each person being different, hurt is going to be more painful to someone who is sensitive than one who had hardened their heart due to previous hurt unless someone can get through. We just have to remember each person is human and try not to hurt each other.

Marc,
I am just nieve to hope that if I have promised to be absolutely honest and truthful, that people will know what they read about me is the truth and knowing that, will trust me and build a friendship, hopefully, on that trust. There are a lot of us that have been hurt but hopefully there is someone out there who is willing to take a risk and trust enough to believe my truth. At first I started building walls to prevent getting hurt and it works because no one can get in. But I also found out that those same "walls" keep out someone who wants to be loving, kind and a friend. So I have to leave myself "open" in hopes of getting that friend.

"honest people should not have to be constantly on guard against the dishonest."
ahhh i wish it was so.... in a right world this would be so
i was also taken by brian and assumed he was for real, outside of a few doubts. i would like to know the truth... Ive not seen anything outside of this forum that authenticates him, even police reports of the auto accidents.
i hope the best for him, if he is who he said. regardless he has a heart and id like to wish him well in life whomever he is.

I'm waaay late into this conversation, and still not done reading this one thread, but i do believe that brian was substantially who he said he was, at least that his heart was about as he portrayed it.
enough incidental conversation occurred between us that i think his heart was fairly well represented.
regardless his age, his intellect may have indicated to him to shield his real identity from the start. if so i can only say he was wiser than i.
