Well, if you want to, go here and see what you think. I thought it was unusual that one person could have so much crisis in his life in such a short time, personally - though you never know. I don't have the information the mods do, and they seem to think there is evidence to support the idea that he was a fraud.

Thanks for your response.

I am saddened by how our better nature has been of taken advantage. But I am heartened by how quick we are to respond positively to a perceived need by anyone.

I believe in my deepest soul that if a denizen of DU were to come here and admit that association but were to ask for moral support that we would, en masse, do so. The prayer thread would be in the thousands, I think we are a community of love and forgiveness, even those who are on the alternating sides of evolution/creation, Civil War-South-State's Rights/Northern Lincoln Supporters, and so many others.

But love is what makes us strong. It binds us, gives us stength, lets us squabble and then make up, gives us humor and some naivete.

Thank you God for our belief in the beauty of the human soul. No matter what anyone does, I will be the first to respond to anyone who reports a 102 fever for his/her child. And thank you God for giving us the ability to love beyond our simple selves.
