First as an Admin note due to my late arrival, and the posts and even complaint filed, let me answer those. We do not want rumors posted here, and it does not add to the discussion, I agree. But, IMO, "rumored" was a bad choice of words, and I hope the issue has been adequately explained in the posts which followed, as it is a bit late to go back and edit the post which generated that. So, let's just try and avoid such in the future.
Moving on...
Alex,
I am having a hard time understanding a lot of this. 1. I don't understand why your sexual orientation and relationship to your roomate and fellow poster, Adam is being treated as if it is an accusation and attack. You were the one who announced that you were gay to your parents and family and moved in with him openly and saw nothing wrong with that, yet now you act like it is shameful and lie about it. The thing is whether you are gay or not has nothing to do with whether your claims against Tommy are true or false, does it? The other accuser being flaming Gay has nothing to do with it either, and as he is open about that, I am quite sure he would not see that as an attack or insult but rather an acknowledgment of his sexual orientation. The only relevance I see is that it explains your forum posts, actually it explains the bias and perspective and source and point of view of Adam's posts and where he got all the things he has accused your family, esp Brad, and 3ABN of. It explains it as he has never met , nor is he acquainted with any except through you and only knows what you have told him. I think your using him to attack others on your behalf is catty, malicious and underhanded and your claims that he posts for himself are less than honest. True he may post for himself, but he is posting what he got from you.
2. I don't understand why you are saying Pat was lying about the country club and your former church,when the things posted came straight from your own family (despite all on AT acting like or claiming that these stories are coming from the Sheltons, when they aren't and no Shelton is even posting here that I know of). You know perfectly well your family knows all of the things being said because it is YOU who said it to them. Why would you claim they are lying, and why would they ALL lie? I am aware that the ATalker/accusers are claiming that we are trying to convince you your family are against you but we are not. The thing is it is quite clear they do not support your claims and don't agree with your statements and claims, but they are not against you because of that. They care about you. However according to them you lie, and you lie a lot, and here you are calling all of them liars... I guess it will be settled in court as you are pursuing your goal of getting a settlement, but I do not think you jumping up on the internet or in court and calling them all liars when they all have one story and you alone have another is going to help your case, or your relationship with them. My 2 cents..
3. You just posted this on the other forum:
I find it funny that they are concentrated on my past life and attacking me. The truth of the matter is yes, I may have had issues, but I have NEVER molested a child like the man that they defend. He is not only a homosexual, but is a child molestor.
YOU NEED TO THINK, and stop opening yourself up for criticism and rebuttals. I never would have mentioned this except for your post above. What is wrong with you? Your parents and family have already evidenced that they will not stand by you in support of your claims - they will in fact refute them and provide information that will place you in the limelight. I can't believe you had the arrogance to stand in your glass house and throw rocks, and thought you were going to keep this hidden when there are the police reports -- and all on AT as well as yourself want to make all into a media circus.
What am I talking about?
One of your family members reported, that when you were a teenager you were caught by an Adult Family member being VERY inappropriate with an 8-year-old foster child (Boy). Legal action had to be taken and although you weren't charged, it doesn’t change the fact that you, Alex were caught with the child.
I am quite sure that will cause a frenzy on Adventtalk. I personally could care less. You can pass out the lies and do alot of talking but can you really handle the truth in rebuttal? I don't think so. You need to stop making claims about yourself and others which are false, and I will not feel it necessary to bring things up to correct you... Sue your family, or me, if you don't like it, but be aware that in the case of defamation, the documented and truth established is the best defense and they of course can prove it, as can I. Ask your lawyer if you don't believe me...
And start engaging your brain before engaging your mouth from now on and you won't get these kinds of replies, capiche?
Toodles...
