Yes, really. A lot of folks need to brush up on their reading skills (and wideeye needs to brush up on his writing skills). BUT, if you look for the quotation marks, you'll see that wideeye is quoting what Sarah allegedly wrote. The problem is that the quote continues thru 4 paragraphs...look for the ending quotation mark. For (improved) clarity, I'm pasting it here--in italics:

What Sarah allegedly wrote: ''Well thanks but i don't really remember asking for your opinion. As for the debate on love .... i agree with you .. at the time when i made that deviation, i was going through a hard time in my life where i didn't know who i was, what i wanted, or who i should care about. my heart was shattered to pieces ... someone told me they loved me ... to me, the way i felt about them ... i would do anything in my power just to see her smile ... her smile was my sun. she betrayed me, she used me for her own self esteem because she needed a boost, no one cared for her the way i did, and she knows it, thats why she used me because i was the only person who saw her for what she really is ... beauty itself.

i'm sorry we have our differences, and i'm sorry that you dislike me. i understand that you don't want to end up like me, but think of it this way ... this is not the way i have ended up, i have only begon my journal on finding out who i really am, and i am changing, becoming more mature, and as far me and my friends ... you have to realize that we're just young and immature, i have years ahead of me to gain my maturity, and i'll admit, i'm not even half way there ... but for being the person that i am, i can say that i'm a lot more mature than i was the year before. i'm only a sophmore in high school. i two years time ... and sure our opinions won't differ much.

Have a good day .. i'll be visiting your gallery sometime soon, and if i do leave any comments ... don't take my opinions the wrong way please, i don't normaly have anything disrespectful to someone unless they've given me the reason. whatever problem you have with me ... i'm sure i started it, but to be honest with you, i don't even recognize your handle, i don't think we've ever spoken, and if i did say anything that offended you ... i'm sorry.

good day.''

(end of quotation)

Additionally, Nick, I agree with your assessment of what wideeye wrote and agree w/ the substance of what wideeye said. A lot of posters have been way too quick to draw conclusions...crap, we don't even know why the alleged perps have each been charged with two counts of first degree murder and that's just for starters.

>>Yes, really. A lot of folks need to brush up on their reading skills (and wideeye needs to brush up on his writing skills).<<

Broad-brushed slams are unnecessary. People, if they want to be understood, need to write clearly as in - "following is a quote from Sarah."

Wideeyed just seemed to be rambling from the start so I guess that's how the rest of us unobservant "readers" followed his less-than-clear and/or lucid writing and train of thought.

The burden of understanding is first on the issuer of the message. Wideeye's message could have benefited from some capitalization too.

If you'd do some research on Goths, you'd learn they have a fascination with death and the dark side.

Still *majoring* on the two counts? Sheesh ....
