I broke a few rules, nothing major, and they were rules that other people broke regularly, but he was always the one to suspend me and PM me to "help me understand."  He thought he had to be my mentor because he was in a wheelchair, even though it had nothing to do with me, my life, or why I was in a wheelchair.  He somehow thought it was all related.

I was frustrated because a judge made a bias, completely bullshit ruling (when I say bias, I mean bias.  He saw all three of us from the wreck the day of the actual wreck, he had known all of us for years, I had been in his house, I started over his son in football, etc.), so I made a thread just to vent.  And this ruling was complete bullshit and, even though I'm no lawyer, I can poke a bunch of holes in it.  For one, he tries to draw parallels to what happened to us and a kid bringing a gun to school.  

Yeah, wrap your mind around that.

I said "we're going to the Court of Appeals because this judge made a bogus ruling," blah blah blah, "please say a prayer and keep us in your thoughts because my family really deserves this."

People started posting "thoughts and prayers your way," "good luck," and things of that nature.  

Well, he posts "other families deserve more, in my opinion."  I respond with "you're right because anything that doesn't center around Highlands being the center of the universe is wrong."  (He was annoying about his high school, which was Highlands.)  He replies with "you really, actually believe that?"  I answer "it's either that or you think I got what I deserved," and he answers "well, as far as getting what one deserves, I think some consideration needs to be taken."  He's telling me I deserved to die, and that's ok?  So I message Guru, and he says "we believe Birdsfan is trying to help you."  We?  Who is "we"?  The staff?  Had they all had a chance to talk and weigh-in in the two minutes since I had posted it?  "Help me with what?"  He answers "a lot of members share the same thoughts about civil suits as Birdsfan," which I didn't even think at the time, but how many members had he talked with about civil suits?  Furthermore, why would they be talking about my civil suit because you can't just put all civil suits into one category.  

Birdsfan goes on for another two pages just babbling the same garbage over and over.  Finally, he PMs me and says "Brad, let me tell you something, the world owes you NOTHING.   The way I understand it, you were 20, in a stolen car, and you made a conscious decision to go with a drunk driver."  First off, did he think I didn't know what happened?  Even if I didn't was that supposed to convince me?  9 years (to that point) with me living everything that happened, my lawyers building a case, and that was supposed to trump all of it?  I reply with "we were 15, not in a stolen car, and I wanted to leave the cemetery when he did a 360 and took us joy riding against our will."  He says "thanks for the information, but my opinion hasn't changed," which pissed me off because, for one, that's impossible, and two, he didn't even tell me his opinion, which I replied and told him.  He says "I'm not talking with you about this anymore."  He went on for pages about how I deserved to die and all that, but now he's finished after that small exchange?  So I message Guru, forward everything, and explain how he wasn't trying to help me and it shouldn't be ok that he said all that, but I get no answer.

Two hours later, I go to my three hour night class, and then come back, but still no answer.  I get on the site and someone had started a thread called "what were you doing five minutes ago," and I post "rolling back to my dorm after class and thinking about offensive comments that a mod made," to which I get suspended by Guru within thirty seconds, so he had obviously seen all my messages and was just suspending my to save his friend the embarrassment of getting called out because, if anything, my ONE remark was self-defense for his NUMEROUS, much worse remarks.  

So, please, Johnny, who told you that?  I'd like to know who's soiling my name with lies.

Here's the problem, once again. You care way too much about other people's opinions and how "my name" looks.
