To suggest that I'm of any danger to anyone is just utterly ridiculous and a testament to the fact that you don't know anything about me. If you want to avoid me, that's fine, that's actually preferred. But to come in like some gay white knight and suggest, hey, this guy might leave you in the desert because he posted some detestable **** on the internet a couple times - I mean, that's just being over the top dramatic . I've never threatened anyone, never even thrown a punch in my life. I punch like a child.
All you are doing is fear mongering for no reason, while all I'm trying to do is connect with people in a place where a lot of 2p2ers call home. Why don't you just let them decide for themselves? Right now I live with 3 2p2ers and am friends with a couple others. I can assure you that their characterization of me would not match yours. I was actually only planning on living with them for a month until I found my own place, but ended up staying because we got along so well.
I will say that, a few years ago, I was in a really, really bad place, and for whatever reason, I took out a lot of my anger on this forum. I haven't really even posted more than a handful of times in the last 3 years while I did some work IRL to try to get myself to a better place. I'm still getting there.
I could've easily dumped this account and started a new one, building up my post count over the past 3 years, and no one would've known a thing. But that's too easy. You have to own up to life's mistakes, and I've done that. To suggest that people don't deserve second chances, as you seem to be suggesting, is to hold one to a pretty high standard, don't you think?
