yes im here sorry, just been lurking for a few months but am back now to partake in this community of uniting =) Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts… I’m still checking this webpage daily (usually 1st thing, well 2nd right after my coffee that is) but you can find me on FB as well, usually in the “SPs ‘R’ Us” group <3 Much Love

Are you still here, Rick?
I think of you now and then and wonder how you are doing. I hope you are well and happy and enjoying life. 🙂

PS. Your post was dead-on in every aspect 100%. Thank you!!! =)

I never left my friend, its just that for certain reasons after T and I have spoken, I chose to just stop commenting to let that stuff ride its own path, I’m still here, I just don’t post much anymore because I just seem to be one of those people who take anonymously spoken posts and sometimes over-react, and I truly respect what Tony’s doing too much. and out of respect for T and the good people here I will keep silently, I can be a huge a**hole so that’s why I decided not to post lately. Thank you for understanding and looking into the matter, I wish you nothing but the best too friend. You guys will see me in the future, and see I’m a pretty fresh friend =P LoL… Much Luv to you and everyone else on here, I truly mean that! P.s. Feel free to always shoot me an email and we can talk more in-length and on a more personal level, you or any of the other good/nice people here. [RickPeavlerJr@hotmail.com]… XoXo to all you loving friends! =P

Sincerely, [You guessed it….]

You are welcome, Rick.

At the time of the flare-up, I personally thought you were being provoked over a simple question. A suspicious few were mislead by wrong ID information from a search of your name. Also, “Q” was misconstrued as meaning IQ and tempers flared. Please keep in mind that some of the commenters have never been in Scientology and are not familiar with all its terms. Others, having been deeply scarred by Scientology’s abusiveness, are somewhat reactive.

Although you were practicing admirable restraint at first, things got very heated very quickly when personal attacks were launched. Let’s face it; your “dick” comment was highly offensive, especially to the women, and I was not surprised by the backlash.

Live and learn. Nobody can change the past but we can certainly forge our futures. Put this behind you and move on.

It’s best to step back when hackles begin to rise and before things get ugly, and to ignore unworthy comments. The Bunker can get pretty rowdy when toes are stepped on but there is much good to be found here. I personally have found it very rewarding, after a painful flaming over a stupid misunderstanding on my part, to have worked my way back into this community. If I had a choice, I would want that for you too. Forgiveness is not beyond the vast majority of us…nor is understanding and compassion. I believe the same is true of you.

Whether or not you choose to come back here, Rick, I wish you all the best in your journey.

Totally agree. Thank you for the kind words =)

That was Midwest Mom’s word. I sure wish she’d come back.

Thanks, Juicer! I am. 🙂 I just haven’t been able to keep up here as much because life has been keeping me so busy (in a good way!). But things are starting to settle in after selling my house and at my new job so hopefully I’ll be back on top of the Bunker soon.

Happy New Year, arcinva 🙂 Still sorry I missed you in DC! Hope you are well.
