I need a little bit of support for a minute here
anybody..... I was posting at a conservative site - giving them all the truth about 9/11 - and was eventually politely asked to leave - even though I've been posting there for months. It was getting gruelling and I was getting tired of fighting with the galetically unintelligent. But the think is - the e-mail he sent me freaked me out - now I'm paranoid. Probably some damn spy site. Any encouragement for me? This happened to anyone else?

2. No actually - I had to click back on the site to get it
but some dimwad sent me an e-mail from that site so he got it somehow. My blood pressure shot up - my face is burning and I'm shaking. I'm afraid I might have pushed the envelope too far this time.

4. Well the one the Moderator or Owner of the site or whoever
sent - PM'd me from the site I was on - but earlier this week I was arguing with some guy and he sent me an e-mail at my personal e-mail address - so I know they have it.

7. Okay
I will - God thanks for responding. Not sure exactly why I'm freaking out - but I am. First time I've ever been kicked off or out of anywhere. He was pretty freking rude.

5. Boy I could really use a drink about now
just thinking you know how sites get monitored - and thinking somebody is going to come after me..... I have no intention of committing suicide - so hope I don't come up suicided.

9. If The E-Mails Are Threatening In Any Way...
...forward them to their ISP (AOL, Earthlink, whatever). They may decide to terminate the guy's account.

10. I just hope that is the end of it
I knew I was pushing too hard - but I just couldn't stop myself. Probably convinced no one. He was basically like 'WE DO NOT AGREE - AT ALL - AND YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE.... that was after I was asked to leave and I sent him a pretty nice message saying he was right, I didn't and I had tired of the debate - but that it was important - etc. Just freaky.

12. these days, in these conditions
i doubt it. Be wary. Be safe.
and try to take a break occasionally from it all. It's good for the soul to have a respite from the tension.

peace,

13. oh thank you dweller
that's it, I'm done - I'm going to rest my case now and quit trying to save the world and convince all who will listen about 9/11. I'm sure I'm just a very small fish in the pond, but you never know.

16. I hope you read the sincerity in my post
i doubt you are too sensitive or paranoid. I have a healthy dose of both, and it IS very hard on the psyche.
Which is why i have to take breaks from the information overload that is presented here on this site and to the numerous sites of information that has been pointed out and researched by others.

one day we will hopefully be past this, and we all will find ourselves in a better place. I have to hope so.
K?

peace,
dp

14. Oh I do not know but I did post on one for a while.
I watched what I said and usually went back to our founders on things bur one man kept saying I was not a Republican. I finally just said thanks and left. Got not mail but never burn a bridge you may wish to cross.I fit right in with the ones that are really getting sick of the Far Right guys.
