So, you're saying we should welcome Tomcatter and AirAlgiere back?
Personally, I approve of this. It would definitely perk things up around here. There is too much mind numbing arguing going on about whether the pfeltzer valve rotates left or right.
I never said that. I'm saying what's done is done. The war was won, but the war is also over. And here's why:
The last thing people like this need is attention. Even negative attention. Because it shows to them that they matter somehow for what they've done or are doing. And that's not something they should be able to thrive off of. They want to simply live their life and do their thing, fine. Whatever. And just as a possibility, if they've changed for the better inside, then so be it and good for them. It's their burden to bear for what they were rightfully called out on.
Second, for some people who see fit to chase these people around in their everyday life on the internet, social media and the like, simply to ridicule them....in addition to the above paragraph....you now potentially turn the guy into claiming some victim-type status from the perception of having stalkers coming after him and bullying him around. That is additional attention they don't deserve, and it too opens up potential legal issues as well. Especially going after them when it comes to anything unrelated to the previous lies told (their new employment, them going on with life, etc), and that again turns them into the victim.
That said regading the war being over, IF they continue on or start up again with false claims or the previous crap they were doing, then thats them starting a battle. And it's a free fire zone on that. However barring that, they have to live with the stigma, and it's better that they deal with the unknown: not being aware of who knows and who doesn't know; rather than them being able to see attention and know where its coming from, positive or negative.
They made their bed. They have to lay down in it. I simply say, let them do so, and go on with life. Our part in it was won, and over.
Don't get me wrong......I too would love to read more than All ALPA, All the time, here on JC, and the mind-numbing topics that generates. But we can do better than this too.
