    Ever wonder why it only takes 30 minutes to drive to BYU but it takes 45 to get back? It's because Provo sucks. If you absolutely have to visit our neighbors to the south, be sure to let them know how you feel about it.

Thursday, January 4, 2007

This came via the contact form a few days ago.

Who wrote the article, "Why Can't I Quit You Joe Edwards?"

I would like to inform the author of this article as to why they are completely incorrect in their summation.

thankyou,

T.

A few thoughts come to mind:

My summation is nothing more than my observation of the events more than 15 years later. I don't think my original post tried to present my assumptions as anything more than that.

Who is this T person and why do they care?

If T really cares enough to tell me I'm wrong, why didn't T just tell me what s/he knows instead of telling me s/he wants to tell me what s/he knows?

Please, don't let T be a lawyer.

*******

just a guess here, but your post accuses some guy of being a pedophile and you use his real name. Maybe you should change it?

I googled *** ******* and he appears to be a real actor; the second google entry is your blog post. If you used the guy's real name, I am sure someone has seen it now and is asking questions.

Kind of in poor taste?

Poor taste?

So let's say my assertion of the situation were correct Which I have no reason, other than an anonymous note from someone named T, to believe is not the case. Would it be my responsibility, as the potential victim, to maintain the person's anonymity in that case? Sure, he's not an elected official or huge name star, but he does make a living in the public eye.

If Britney Spears were to punch someone should they not refer to her by name when telling their story out of respect for her? Should the police officer on the receiving end of Mel Gibson's anti-Semetic diatribe use an alias or keep his mouth shut about the whole thing? Give me a break.

If T has something to say to me s/he can respond to any one of my 3 email replies where I offered to retract or amend my original post. If *** has something to say, he too is free to set me straight. I truly would love nothing more than for my perceptions to be wrong in this case. To date, I have only my own point-of-view to use as a guide.

By the way. I don't think *** ******* is a pedophile. He never laid a hand on me, was super nice and accommodating and (as I've said a whole bunch of times now) my assumptions are just that, assumptions. I never made any claim other than that those were my perceptions and observations of the events.

I am, as always, ready to admit that my observations could be wrong.

Just a thought...but maybe

Just a thought...but maybe he wasn't looking for sex at all...maybe he just wanted to get away from you and all the mormon talk???

I know that i would probably be looking for the nearest exit if i had a similiar conversation about mormonism...

Who knows. You should try contacting *** ******* again. Maybe he'll set the story straight. Maybe.

Maybe...

I don't know. I really hope I was wrong.

dude,apply some critical

dude,

apply some critical thinking here...you provide an analogy of Britney Spears punching someone, which in no way applies to the situation you describe happened to you in NYC with this ******* guy. You admit as much when you describe yourself as a "potential victim".

the point you can't seem to get your head around is that you assumed this guy wanted something by inference.

How would you like it if someone assumed you were a pedophile because they merely saw you talking to some kid you didn't know at a restaurant or playground? What if you googled your name and the second entry were some exmo blog with a tangential entry about a trip to NYC and a reference to you in an unsavory light?

think about it.

I am dying to hear what this T person has to say.

    Or is it wish it were? I always get mixed up on the subjunctive case.
