So, maybe she did lie. Why should everyone take such offense? This is an Internet board. We are strangers in many ways. We are not neighbors, family or RL friends. I find it odd, all this getting so wrapped up in an online person to the point of frenzy.
---> Some of us ARE friends IRL. BeachBabe, JavaJunkie, RWS...we all go WAY back. Quite a few folks helped out JL financially...sending gifts, gift cards, etc because she was supposedly 'struggling. And it's not about the 'money' per se...it's more along the lines of that women who won several million in the lottery but was still collecting food stamps.

Yes, some people do. I heard that money was sent to JL. Yeah, I could use some of that money, too!

Mine did 2 years home confinement.. at my request. Judge listened to my statement prior to sentencing. I won at trial.. totally unprepared..thought it was just an arraignment. Me against him and 6 friends and family members swearing up and down he didn't do it.
Honestly? Probably the proudest moment of my life in terms of standing up for myself. Maybe it's why I won't back down to anyone. No one will EVER push me around again, in ANY form.
I beat my abuser, the HONEST way AND got him to pay for what he did. And I didn't have a SOUL to stand up for me. NO ONE. A prosecutor I never laid eyes on and a cop. And ME. I remember asking my mother to move back home at one point and her telling "gee.. you know.. your father and I have moved on with our lives, I just don't see you coming back working out" and it wasn't like she didn't KNOW I was dealing with an abuser. Needless to say? She didn't go to court for the trial or anything, lol.
Oh well.. anyway, I know mine is still around. I doubt we'd run into each other. As small as RI is, it is actually very.. segmented? Like if you're from Providence, you hang in Providence. If you're from the beach area, you hang there. It's all very clustered. If I did? I really wouldn't care at this point. Been 18 years and? I BEAT HIM. I can look him in the face and he KNOWS he was wrong, he has a CONVICTION and a criminal record to prove it.
Anyone can say what they want about me? I may be crude, rude, whatever, but you know what? I'm a SURVIVOR and not only do I survive? But I THRIVE. And I don't need a single soul's help or support to do it. That's NOT a dig on anyone else by the way, so no one TAKE it that way. Just my opinion of myself and I've EARNED it.

Do people on this board seriously send money to other posters? Did anyone REALLY send JL money? Sitting here wondering if that REALLY happens.
---> Yes...it really happens. There have been several people that have been helped...and the second time we have gotten sucked. Not too many know about the first time since it was a special Secret Santa, but it's probably where JL got the idea since she was such good friends with her.

It's not worth responding to me, but you will harp on the JL drama and continue it until the cows come home. Seriously? You keep saying she's an attention w hore...aren't you giving her exactly what she wants then? MAYBE if people will stop responding...she won't come here anymore. Honestly, that would be the best thing for everyone.
I could care less if you have an issue with me. I didn't like you much before I became friends with JL...in fact...you could say it was because of you and a few others that I did befriend her...because I couldn't stand how you treated her. You do your best to treat Gecko nearly the same way, but she kicks your butt every time. Just saying.
IMO, it says alot about you and your character that you are so gleeful that people got hurt and friendships destroyed because you were right about a few things. You seem to think just because me and a few others don't come out to help you bash JL that it means we are still close to her and are trolls. You couldn't be more wrong. But you know what? I think enough attention has been given to her and this drama. This horse was beaten a long time ago.

Lol at the Gecko comment. That's hysterical. If that belief makes you feel better? Okay, but I know better.

LB,
Honestly you don't know what the real intent was, nor do I have to explain myself.... I mean, seriously... one day I am cray to you.. the next I am cool... now I am passive aggressive... I can't keep up with what you think about me... and frankly, I am tired of trying... I've been thrown under the bus way to many times to care... but in my heart of hearts.. I know my intent..... There hasn't been any passive aggressive digs by me, nor will there ever be.... it's all good... I'm not mad, I'm just tired.... I have a lot going on with the family (all good things... graduation, prom, basketball) and I'm swamped at work... so again... I don't mean to come across rude or passive... I'm just to the point of IDGAF... Hope you are doing well... (seriously)

I don't care to bash JL either... it's done.. it's over with... I can understand the fallout for the first week or so... but it's been a month... time to move on... LB wasn't the only one that took a hit from JL... I took many hits from JL and I just feel sorry for her.... I wish her no harm...Unlike some, I am not going to bet my life on things nor am I going to guess her intent or her mental state... I can say that what happened was wrong... but in reality... It doesn't impact me.. I just wish her the best.... that's the easiest thing to do.. you know?

"IMO, it says alot about you and your character that you are so gleeful that people got hurt and friendships destroyed because you were right about a few things."
I did not see where anyone got gleeful about people getting hurt and friendships being destroyed - maybe in all the hoopla I missed it? LB was correct about some things and I think she felt vindicated but the friendships being destroyed and people getting hurt happened because JL orchestrated it - maybe she didn't necessarily mean for it to happen the way it did but she didn't stop it either - instead she took it further and further, which required a lot of effort on her part to accomplish.
Someone else mentioned that one "new" poster is most likely JL - mewanda - I tend to agree and given the overwhelming need for attention and validation it would be next to impossible for her to stop and short of finding somewhere else to get the needs met....
