     Can anyone recommend any A.A. Meetings in Curacao?

     Please reply directly to:

     stuttga...@lycos.com

     Thanks

     Sy

     Sy, although you may have already returned, try any of the following
meetings at this link: http://www.aacaribbean.org/ (click lefthand side on
Curacao. We really do wish the best for you Sy. Perhaps it is time to listen
to physicians rather than argue.

Another example of arrogant use of the pluralis majestatis. Apparently
Gourd is an alcoholist and/or a stalker. Evidently he doesn't respect
Sy's privacy.

Neither arrogant nor presumptuous.  Those who bothered to reply to Sy
all wished him the best as far as I can remember.

More likely a man of action.  Some sit and surmise that something is wrong
with Sy's circuitry and wonder what it is.  Some may even apply some
possibilities, such as I did.  It looks like Gourd actually went out to see
if Sy has invaded other newsgroups, as a troll might, and found that he has.
When here, he is a cancer victim.  When in an AA group, he's an alcoholic.
And, I forget which group he was in last week.

Safire, you have become an apologist for someone who is obviously been found
out.  Perhaps you should take a step back and consider what we (pluralis
majestatis intended) have found and decided for yourself whether you
appreciate his activities in YOUR prostate cancer group.  Why take on the
people who were right all along?
ronju99 - 10 Nov 2007 12:19 GMT
Sy's privacy ended when he came on this forum and verbally attacked just
about everyone that tried to offer assistance. Had he informed us of his
pre-existing condition, I can almost guarantee that no one would have had
any negative comments towards him, only sympathy.

But because of the viciousness of his attacks, one could easily see that
he had other problems greater than prostate cancer. He even mentioned in
one of his posts that he was about to expose that condition but held back
at the last moment.

Yes, we are all grown men and have seen a lot in our life time and would
except Sy back as long as he could conduct himself civilly. Having said
that, I'm not sure he could really understand what is being said without
first getting some serious counseling. His filters have been in place for
so long that he probably couldn't accept dialog at its face value.

Safire, I can assure you that I have not set myself up as an official or
monarch of this newsgroup. There is simply no "Royal We."

I am also neither an alcoholist, stalker, intolerant jerk, busybody,
Einstein, nor other descriptor used to lash out toward me for support that I
have offered; not withstanding, additional support that others have offered
all the while being subject to name-calling rants. I find interesting that
our friend has written that he is not a name caller by nature.

There is no privacy on a newsgroup. Anyone can search at any time for
comments made by anyone at anytime.

I make no judgements. A personal decision is simply, a personal decision. I
would like to, but I won't, ask him to continue with the Twelve Steps of
Recovery in his daily life and to share his threads of this newsgroup with
his Sponsor.

I think you belong in the same subgroup as Sy does.  Rude, arrogant and
insulting!!

At no time has anyone stalked Sy.  I found that information well over a
week ago and I believe I alluded to it in a post, but you are not worth
my time looking it up.  News groups are not private confessionals.

Sy is a recovering alcoholic and while I don't personally know much
about it or AA, I do believe that one of the 12 steps is to apologize to
those you have hurt or insulted.  Obviously he has not reached that
step.  Or chooses to ignore it.

As for you, if you can't say something nice, then stfu.  I don't recall
you ever offering PCa advice......only negative personal comments.
People like you obviously lead sad, lonely lives.  Pity!!

Neither do I, but we're all familiar with the lingo.  So I would label
the protracted engagement here with Sy a textbook example of:

*Codependency in Motion."

With all due respect, Sy had more than his share of enablers.

Leah.....obviously you are more familiar with the lingo than I am.  All
I saw was one rude, arrogant person attacking those who tried to help
him.  I don't give a damn what his excuse was.....had he chosen to
enlighten us.

But the one thing I do know is a person attending AA is supposed to
apologize to those he has hurt or insulted, etc.  I really don't think
he had any intention of doing so.

Enough time has been wasted on this person.  I for one, will not be
discussing his attitude or his failings again.

"Pluralis Majestatis" Sounds like we are to be impressed once again.

Rhonda Joy. How did this forum come to be so blessed as to have two such
eloquent writers cross our paths, you and Sy? Would you please enlighten
us?

I have several email addresses but use only this one for any posting
anywhere.  

My how clever you are.I once had a substance abuse problem.  That was a
long time ago.  I am not in the least ashamed or reluctant to say so
and that's why I use the same email address.  Overcoming adversity
builds a person's character.

How 'bout you?  No character flaws I suppose.  You still drinking?
Maybe you eat way too much or pick up little boys in AOL chat rooms or
somesuch?

Why you would broach the topic at all is a reflection of what type of
person you must be.

Long time ago??  Then why did you need to know where the AA program was
in Curacao when you went there in the past 4 weeks??  Face it.....you
are an alcoholic and always will be.  As to whether you are a
*recovering alcoholic* remains to be seen.  Your manner of speaking says
otherwise.

> How 'bout you?  No character flaws I suppose.

Stupid, ignorant, sarcastic remarks deleted.  Go back to AA and reread
Steps 8 and 9......you definitely failed those.

No....it was an attempt to find a reason why you were so rude and
arrogant to everyone.  You were not looking for help or advice.....you
just wanted a new news group to be rude to.

Your kind is not needed or wanted here and from now on I am plonking
you, you ignorant clod!!  And I am quite sure you will find that NO ONE
will be bothered with you from here on in.

Heather - 19 Nov 2007 00:52 GMT
Btw, for those who didn't see the original nastygram by Sy, it was
directed to our Gourd Dancer,  not me.  I just reread it and thought I
should clear that up.  On one news server, I don't get his
posts.....hmm, interesting.

A rather bold long distance diagnosis from madame bigot supreme.
Applying her line of reasoning to herself, she would be the first female
in the world that has a prostate; why else would she be hanging around
in this group? As in the past, she doesn't need evidence to make her
claims.

you ignorant clod!!

An accurate description of herself.

Sy's contributions show more intelligence than Heather's emotional garbage.

ROFL!!  If this is supposed to bother me, you failed.  Yes, I reckon I
am a superior female (G), but never a bigot.  If I was, I wouldn't be
answering your bollocks!!  Are you sure you and Sy aren't brothers??

In case you forgot, you (allegedly) don't have a prostate either.  And
my husband had/has PCa which is why I am on here.  He doesn't know how
to use a computer.

> Sy's contributions show more intelligence

BWA HA HA!!  Sy only knows how to use *big words* and insult people.
But frankly I don't care.  Nor do I give one sweet damn about you
either.

Puss orf,  you obnoxious Brit.......PLONK!!
Sy - 19 Nov 2007 23:55 GMT
Heather,

As I said I make no attempt to hide the fact that I had a substance
abuse problem.  You should also know that people who have been in 12
Step programs may continue to go for years after they have stopped
doing whatever it is they were doing.

A decent person however would not make an issue of it in a place like
this.

Congratulations Safire, you have joined a new group. When you support
name-calling and down-right rude behavior, you no longer deserve to be read.
You also have been plonked.........

Gourd,

What you and some others here don't seem to pick up on is that your own
comments while seemingly "supportive" on the surface really demonstrate
what a phony you are.  Regarding what you call "name calling" I suggest
that you give your hypersensitivity to that a rest.  You will need all
the will and energy you can muster to deal with your "inner beast" so
save your indignation for that.

I think that you and a few other jerks here ought to get out of the
house and away from your screens as this seems to be your sole means of
socialization.

And thank you Safire for your supportive comments and to several others
who have emailed me privately.

Sy

Sy - Please feel free to ask me any questions about my PCa experience.
I stand ready to help anyone.

Also feel free to google my initial posts (written in a wine induced
fog) sometime in late June through August.

I am a younger man (relative to the group) and was very angry about my
diagnosis. Still pissed off after treatment.
