Oh no another PaPa Joe.
He was 12 years old at the time.
LOL.....good one.
I was not accusing you of anything.
I’m now accusing you of arguing for the sake of being argumentative. I’m further accusing you of being pedantic for the sheer joy of pedantry.
If I remember ... in the future, and contrary to the usual rules of FR etiquette, I shall refrain from pinging you to any post in which I quote your words.
I hope you have an absolutely peachy rest of your day, filled to overflowing with love and kindness.
You have only yourself to blame, by not being clear as to what you were trying to communicate. Remember we can only assess what you mean by what you write. I was trying to make an assessment by asking you further questions, to which you again failed to answer and went into some sort of diatribe that made no sense whatsoever.
Since I am not seeking acceptance nor approbation, by all means take your toys and leave.
BWHAHahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Congratulations! It’s only Monday, and you already win “Most Self-Righteous Post of the Week”!
I’d start to think you might be guilty of what I didn’t accuse you of ... but that would be jumping to conclusions.
Whatever Mr. self-Proclaimed Perfect. It’s not my fault you have an inability to communicate effectively.
These lookback laws are evil.
Pathetic ...
Oh I understood perfectly, but not your intent. It was your intent that was in question. It sure sounded to me like you were advising us to carry the innocent until guilty motto, to those in groups we may disagree with even though nothing we had said indicated we were against that motto to begin with and treated those in groups we disagree with with a different motto of guilty until proven innocent.
That is where you were unclear.
But you not only painted myself & BobL with that brush, by your own admission you painted all within that post.
I asked for clarification with the following:
How do you know one or both of us doesn't give someone who is in a group we may dislike, the benefit of a doubt when accused of something?
You didn't answer my question, instead you responded with the following:
I quoted you. Would you rather that I had discourteously neglected to ping you? There are people on this forum who DO, in fact, base their judgment (or lack thereof) on the organizational affiliation of the accused. They know who they are.
------------------------------------------------------------
You never bothered to answer my question or to correct my perception that you were directing your statement at me & BobL personally.
So, you are too blame for the confusion you created with your inability to communicate effectively.
But yes, I am still here, and people like you will not drive me away.
BTW, I am more than willing to bet we share more in common than we disagree with each other.
What do you say we both just forget this unfortunate conversation we had, and move along like the adults we are supposed to be.
I gave you all the information you needed and more.
Your questions made no sense and were not based on facts.
You need to do better.
Read for comprehension.
Now, with all due respect, sir: BUGGER OFF!!!
“Now I do not know his situation, but is this was a tony program as he described it as being, he couldn’t have been in a family that would refuse to support him, I would think.”

1. I believe stuff like this has been happening all along in so many, many programs with many kids of both sexes and all sizes scared shitless to tell folks for fear of not being believed...
2. There are parents who would would and do willingly place their children at risk to simply be close to those in power or positions of authority even if it’s only implied power....
Think about it...how many parents still place their young daughters and the rare son in close proximity to the current leadership of the USA.....
No way, no how would I deign to bring a person under 18 around the current leadership of the USA.
Well, maybe even not less than 21 if they are not carrying those neat whistles than can deafen.....
Parents, families have done that forever to gain money, power, prestige, position and fame, for example, look at the noble families in Tudor England - the Boleyns, the Howards, etc. In the US people throw their children at Hollywood and have done so since the beginning - Read Chaplin’s biography.
Gladly. Have a blessed day.
Someone posted this article from 2016 about the coach:
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil
It tends to support what you have said:
It's hardly surprising that most of Foglietta's victims did not come forward until they were adults, or that others who have been identified as victims by their friends and family refuse to admit what happened to them. Child victims of sexual abuse are often trapped by shame and denial for decades, if not for their whole lives.
But I wouldn't take anyone I knew to meet the current administration, mainly because I hate the current administration. 🤣
I’m so tired of Joe Namath grooming me to buy his Medicare supplement insurance. The frequency of his ads verge on criminal treatment of senior citizens.
