This may come as a BIG surprise to some and to some who don't know me, it may not affect you.
I have had this on my conscious for a while now, and I felt it was time to fess up. Dr. Bob knows this already and he was very gracious to allow me to continue to be part of this board.
GALKEEPINON=KRISSY~remember her?????????????
Yes I am her. For all those who feel they need to respond, please do, or email me at babbler2003@msn.com.
So, that's that. I'm glad this 'secret' is off my chest and any follow-ups can be directed to my email. Jay~I remember bearded lady, and fayroe, etc., and jim, you probably remember me too.
*Very important, if I receive any viruses in my email out of anger because of this, I will delete the account. I came clean and no deceit was ever in the works, I helped, I talked, and I came back as a better person, but I can't go on any longer with this stupid secret. Either I'm welcome back or I'm not, simple as that.
I have enjoyed really helping and getting support here and I'm glad it continued for so long, but it may be time for me to go now....
What do you think????
Sincerely,
Kristen

Kristen- I was around when the stuff went down before. While I was not personally affected, there were many many other good souls on this board that were. People reached out to you and you lied to them.
I guess if you'd come right out from the start and said, "Everyone, it's Krissy again...I'd like to start over if you'll give me a chance" it would've been different. But you lied again...making statements such as "I don't usually post here"
It's nice that you fessed up but posting as someone new was a tad obnoxious and really deceptive. It's not for me to say whether you'll be welcomed. Supporting others would have meant more if you hadn't posted as galkeepinon.
And For Dr. BOB- What the ________??????!!!

In reply to Deception » galkeepinon, posted by Chicklet on October 4, 2003, at 13:52:29
I thought about posting and saying "it's Krissy again" but I KNEW that I would probably be unwelcomed and I don't like to be where I am not welcomed. There were only a few that were involved, and in a way, I shouldn't give away my power and allow them to stop me coming here or allowing them to make me feel unwelcome. I think people have committed way more horrible things than me.
I probably should have done what jay did and continue to post under my original posting name, because he got a lot of hassle from 'fayeroe' for not keeping his board safe, and I supported him here for that.
I just don't want anymore drama.
As far as deception, there was none intended, I wanted to help, and continue to be part of this board, but during that time, I knew I wouldn't be wanted. I wasn't ready to be reached out to, but I'm not going to make excuses for this, it's over and done.
Thanks for your input, I really appreciate hearing from you whoever 'chicklet' is.
Take care...> Kristen- I was around when the stuff went down before. While I was not personally affected, there were many many other good souls on this board that were. People reached out to you and you lied to them.

*raises eyebrows*
I'm sorry. I cannot forgive you. I am very very hurt that you hid behind a name without coming clean. maybe if you had in first place I would feel differently.
By the way.. people can't really infect you with virus's, as you threatened me with. None of us here can access your IP address unless you email us personally - and I'm not gonna email you after your previous threats to me. If you got infected with virus before, its your own fault and no one elses. You should have adequate protection against such things - such as fire wall (hard ware firewall is best, which I have), Virus protection software that is regularly updated, and a pop up blocker. And never open un-known attachments.
Once bitten, twice shy as they say.

JYL- you're a good 'un
But this is the very reason that the behavior was reprehensible:>>this is a "mental health" board..
Posters here come from all walks of life and some are more vulnerable than others. I also truly believe that mistakes teach us. So I guess my point is that it should've taught Kristen the first time...
You're sweet, jyl.
But Rye??? yechh

jyl!!!,
I can't believe what I just read. You don't know how much that means to me~I am so very serious. Believe me, I know you remembered me, yet I was so afraid if I told you I was Kristen the anger and bitterness would start up again, and I don't want anymore of that nor do I want to spread it around in my life anymore, it just causes pain. And to see this post from you means so much, you'll never know and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
And, yep~have a double rye on me!!!!
thank you so much for understanding, and such wisdom, I take it to heart full force.
you truly are a nice person!> krissy..

You're very courageous to 'come clean' and I admire that. Luckily, some of us who didn't get real involved in that situation are so old we have bad memories (me) and while I would hate to re-experience those events, as far as I'm concerned you are welcome here.
I know some people got hurt, you were probably hurting, and it doesn't sound like you want to re-experience that either.

Shar, thank you very much for your kindness, I really appreciate it.
>>>>I know some people got hurt, you were probably hurting, and it doesn't sound like you want to re-experience that either.Yes, unfortunately, people got hurt emotionally, I was definately hurting, and no, I don't ever want to experience things like that ever again, here, or in my private life.
Thank you for your support and understanding Shar, I wish you the best always.
take care

Nikki, I owe you an apology for the mean things I said to you when this all happened. For some reason you and I had the most aweful things going back and forth for such a very short time after I left the board as Krissy.
I am very sorry, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart~I really do.
Take care.> I also forgive a one off..

>>I would probably be unwelcomed and I don't like to be where I am not welcomed.
So the deception really was a conscious effort. To protect yourself. Because if you'd said who you were, you wouldn't have felt "welcomed".
>>There were only a few that were involved,
Doesn't make the least bit of difference how MANY were involved. You played around with people's emotions. I'm sorry you didn't feel well at the time, but this was way more than one little faux pas.>>and in a way, I shouldn't give away my power
You don't have the power to give away>>and allow them to stop me coming here or allowing them to make me feel unwelcome
You asked the opinions of the board. Some will welcome you back, some won't. If you feel unwelcome then maybe you shouldn't post...because the people who have been hurt are not going to change their minds.
>>I think people have committed way more horrible things than me.
!!!!!And this makes it...acceptable?
You can just say sorry and leave it at that. By mentioning 'other people', you sound as if you're minimizing what you did.>> I just don't want anymore drama.
Really?
huh.
That's it for me re: this issue.
This is bull****.Karen

Hi..
I don't remember a 'slinky' here, were you posted under another name, so I can get a better feeling of who I am apologizing to and I can remember what happened.
Thank you for saying I am as welcome as anyone else:-)
Appreciate that.
Take care> Hi..

>Well I'm going to speak bluntly here. It's not your emotions that caused trouble. What I remember is when someone posted saying they were your dad and claimed you had attempted suicide and were in a coma, then later we were told that you were fine and in fact it was you posting as your dad.
I can tell you, that hurt me and a lot of other people. Standing by helplessly watching someone you care about kill themself is one of the worst experiences life can offer. To think that someone would perpetuate a suicide hoax here, and inflict that helpless feeling on us, apparently out of malicious or careless intent-- is about the worst thing I can imagine doing in a community like this.
I still feel angry remembering those events. If that was you who did that, an admission and apology might help people welcome you back. If not, an explanation is needed to clear up the mistrust.
