OK, I've had enough of this crap. And I do mean crap.

sturd--shut up & stay out of this.

Dean--take it off-line. The second you start to bring up family
members the way you did, you've gone down a big chunk. Just back away,
and don't EVER go there again. You can trade insults all you want, but
STAY OUT OF HERE WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT.

I like to make jokes here, but on this I'm EXTEMELY serious.

Don't even bother responding to this, because I don't want to know
what either of you are going to say next on this particular subject. I
have no business AT ALL in whatever squabble is going on here, and I
would appreciate it if you'd keep it that way.

The night Chris died, I jumped on Dean in private for how he selfishly ***
all over people I considered friends. I also made a request (below) to a
number of friends to help me keep this impulsive shallow nothing off my
screen, and for a while, everyone helped.

I don't read RMD on Google. I can't see him and don't want to. So little of
what I say in here is stated seriously, yet it is not "for show" that I ask
your help again to keep this small-thinker out of my world. And yet, every
time he refers to me (and he always takes the first shot... look it up), I
get emails or someone quotes just the inflammatory part. Maybe you (not
Charles.. the royal you) think you're doing me a huge favor by making me
aware of these remarks. You're not. I have a temper and I will rarely
choose to restrain if I see it. I can't do more than killfile him and ask
you to let it go too. It's clear from your comments in private that I've
got him pegged in the right hole. Shallow inheritance baby that
communicates for attention. Says something stupid and impulsive, and when
he sees he looked bad to the people he's courting, disingenuously tries to
minimize the remark by brushing it aside with some cliche like "lost my
cool" later, like the head case that he is. There is already one of these
in my real world, and I don't need a second one. His remarks don't matter,
especially if I don't see him. Just please stop "helping" me. I don't know
how to ask this any more sincerely.

David - I'm disappointed that you take the RMD me to be me. You own that
though. I can't help what people take seriously. As for "left the name
off", that was not enough of a standard to keep the emails out of my in
box. Small point and a quality of thinking I would consider to be generally
beneath you. However, I am genuinely disappointed that you choose not to
appreciate that what led to this bull*** was my immediate anger at how he
showed incredible disrespect for your feelings, and others, at the most
inappropriate time possible. People you call friends complemented that I
took the high road but not everyone has to think the same way either.
Dean's words mean nothing to me. And I barely knew Chris but I knew people,
friends of mine, that his life touched and I was furious at that. And don't
confuse that I'm saying I did it for Chris' friends. Maybe secondarily, but
that time, it because principal said it needed to be done. I can find no
difference between what he did and those other assholes that go and shout
"***" at soldier's funerals. None. I'm sorry you don't agree.

(out of this thread)

Original request, consider it repeated more broadly:

I am sending this off of RMD for a reason, and I'm sending this to a very
small group of people that I pray are not close friends of Chris Johnson.
If I've made an error on that point, please accept my very real apology.

A line was crossed in RMD today that I feel showed a selfish disrespect for
several people's feelings at the most inappropriate possible time, and my
own impression of what motivated it makes me sick. I feel fortunate I was
not in the same room as the poster when I discovered that. I'd like to
think that I respect people's rights to choose their friends as well as to
choose those whom wish not to have anything to do with. I'd like to think
others feel the same way about me.I've made an effort in RMD to avoid Dean
Hyman on RMD. I don't respond to him. I have nothing to do with him. but
his pattern of seeking me out and throwing his little failed artists guilt
bombs is OLD. I'm TRULY done with him. 100%. What I'm asking from you is to
not be "clever" and quote for the sake of revealing his responses. I've
asked and I hope you help me out on this. If I have to killfile a friend to
get rid of him, I'll do it in a second and on this, there won't be any
warning shots other than this message. There's no productive reason for he
and I to ever communicate and there's no need for any of you to try and fan
any flames to escalate the drama. I'm not serious about much in there but
I'm serious about this. I know some of you like him and you have my word
that I will not seek to be critical of him with you. This is a ridiculous
situation and the objective is to just lose him. I would appreciate your
understanding, and more, I would appreciate this not becoming RMD-public
while RMDers are still trying to cope with the thing that precipitated
this. Thanks in advance.
