Abusive friendship, my last words

lionheart,

I read the thread where you commented. One of the Forum rules here is not to mention any names so as to keep it sort of generic so as not to offend anyone. I know of many very reputable honest ministers who use examples where no names are mentioned from their experience to make a point or clarify something. Their intention is not to slander or offend anyone. That is also our intention. If you took the time to read the Forum Rules you may have understood this.

No names were mentioned. It seems like it was a conversation between the two of you. None of us know who you really are. People come here all the time to vent. It is necessary in the process of recovery. There is a natural anger associated with the steps of recovery from a trauma such as SA. None of us take it personally. We have come to realize it is a necessary process of healing and recovery. IN the light of that, it seems some of your statements were not justified.

So, when you go, I feel you need to rethink some of what you said. We provide a safe place for people to be heard and begin the healing process.

Lionheart... you can stop sending private messages... we will continue to post them publicly.... why are you trying to convince us that your are NOT someone we think you are? I don't care if you are Satan himself... God will reveal the truth to whom and when He needs to... drop it and get on with your life!

I was done, there wasn't a need for a reply, but since there was here is mine.
Three points.
1. What I sent, was a private message, designed to rebut the post directed against the friend, nothing more, and done in a private manor, like the forum allows. I never intended for this to show up on the forum. I won't get a fair deal here, because I "stepped out of the lines." Martin Luther stepped outside the lines when he saw injustice. I am nothing and do not compare my self to Luther, but he is an example worthy of being followed I think. Is it not my right to confront the accusations? (like in Matthew 18) I mean this is one of the reasons we know the Gospels to be true. Because they were written in a time where those who saw Jesus were still alive and could accuse the writers of not being truthful. I had only hoped that she may have the posts removed. That is all. But I see now that it was a spark in a powder keg. We can't see all disasters before they come. This has been unfortunate.
2. I know that there is the potential for good here, healing here, but a computer screen cannot offer the love and understanding that another human in a personal relationship can offer. I could be counseling people here and harming others where the forum posters cannot see. How does that keep me accountable? My post on flamers was directed at the ones who post with belligerence, and without oversight for posting inaccuracies. I am not angry with anyone, but my post was an exercise of example. People are not happy about what I posted, and rightly so. See how it feels? I hope that anyone who sees my posts will withhold from posting darts directed at others. I really admire the post that Worn Shoeleather made. She said it was cryptic, but do we all need to know the details of the situation to pray for them and their healing?
3. Post anything you want Mom, that's fine. Again, I am not angry with you. Oh and thanks for reference to Satan, that was interesting. It just goes to justify my position. Because I am on the outside, that makes me evil here. Many attrocities have happened that way. You'll know who I am soon enough. I am getting on with my life.
Reiteration: Again I never intended for this to happen, but in dealing with, (we are all) fallen humans, there is the potential for this. I really hope that Admin can remove my user, and at some point my posts. (Btw, for an official notice: I am not the mother of the friend)

Attn ADMIN:

Due to the level at which beautifulmess has been followed and attacked I would request that you keep this post on file. The statement that lionheart has just made was "YOU"LL Know Who I am Soon"... could be considered a threat against the family of beautifulmess and because of the severity of the attacks and threats I would ask that you keep this post public in case it would be needed in the future.

Thank you

[lionheart]

Go for it, keep it all, I don't care. Those words only mean that I will be communicating my identity to you soon. Thank you, Mom, for the vote of confidence. This is really going too far. whatever.
