Helping a Hurt Friend Mood
Thursday, July 2, 2009 | A General Update story

Today I met a woman and we became friends. I was soon to discover that sghe had been under extreme attack by a member I am familiar with. The man called her a "Nazi" because as the founder of a certain group, she made a simple entry about what folks are doing on the 4th of July. When this man made an inappropriate entry there, she deleted it, as often will happen on DS. It is not so uncommon. She went as far as to send the man a kind explanation of why she had done this, as his entry was so dark and negative.

He responded by attacking her, banning her from one of his groups, continually attacking her. He has done this many times to many people. The woman is from Germany. She has been in tears ever since. I did my best to comfort her. I said a prayer for her in my Scripture and Prayer group. I even prayed for him to get it straight, but it just keeps going on.

Some time ago, he called me a Nazi too. Now some of you know the story of how my family barely escaped the Nazi's in 1936 because they were helping Jews and Poles out of Germany. I was deeply insulted and wrathful over this.

True, we are all Americans first. Buit is it not OK to be proud of our heritage, our culture? I am an American, yet I have pride in my Germanic and Danish heritage. This woman should also. So should a Chinese American, an African American and so on.

My dad fought in the US Navy against the Japanese. He was no Nazi.For me it was the Marines. I dare you to call me a Nazi. My grandfather hated the Nazi's and anytime a documentary came on about them he turned the TV off. It was the only time I saw the man swear.A bunch of us are filling out abuse forms. I pray to God DS listens. What is right is right. 

In the meantime, all of you are in my prayers, and Colleen and I are honored to have you as friends. Bless you! Wally

    THIS KIND OF BS IS COMMON ON DS. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE REFERING TO. I DOUBT A LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN WILL DO ANY GOOD. THIS INDIVIDUAL YOU ARE REFERING TI IS A JERK AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO PUT THAT PERSON ON IGNORE. IF IT CONTINUES THEN HIT THE ABUSE BUTTON AND FILL OUT THE FORM BY ALL MEANS. THIS STUFF GOES ON SO MUCH HERE THAT I AM USED TO IT. YES EVERYONE SHOULD BE PROUD OF WHO THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY CAME FROM. IF SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE A CERTAIN NATIONALITY THAT'S NOT ONLY WRONG IT HAS NO PLACE HERE ON DS OR IN AMERICA FOR THAT MATTER. DON'T LET THE SMALL MINDED PEOPLE RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE.___BLESS YOU MY BROTHER___DENNY

    Ha!!! I confronted the individual in question in his group and they "Banned" me from the group such that I cannot make an entry. You all know Colleen and I and even though I questioned this person, they could not logically argue with me. All they did was to hurl insults. I am laughing my way all the way to Doug, with copies of their entries. The individual and their cronies are unworthy, and evil. They do not deserve the time I gave them. They are cowards I should not even spend my time on. I apologize to my friends for even mentioning them. But the individual has been reported by many. That is satisfaction enough. Bless you

    Yes you are right Tekoa. I stand corrected. May you all and The Lord forgive me my haughty spirit. I have had it all my life and it has caused me grief at times. I will pray for these. Thank you and Bless you Tekoa

    I hope and pray DS listens to our complaints! This man is nothing more than an egotistical third rate psycho! He has written so many lies he can't possibly keep track of all of them! people don't need this BS on DS! When someone causes another here to be in tears it is time for us all to put our words in and hit abuse!

    Yes I am aware that this man is continuing his attacks by pm primarily, most of it generated at me. That is OK. I don't care. His words are empty. They have no substance whatsoever. Ignore him and go on. We all know about him. Just a little yapping dog at our heels is all he is.
