Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
And for the third time, I will reiterate I thought the thread was hilarious except for the first joke that said something like:
Listen closely sister of Dan:
If a man "takes" a prostitute AGAINST HER WILL
is it rape or shoplifting.
There is nothing consensual about that.
Just a dumb joke.
The rest were hilarious.
I don't think Dan is a horrible person by any sense of the word.
I find him quite, uh...a bit more than likeable.
It was the joke that I didn't like because I have issues with it so it's my fault.
BTW: Not even prostitutes deserve to be raped. They are definitely in a risky business but are providing a service they expect to be paid for and move on to the next.
I wonder how many women out there didn't want to have sex when their UPSET husband or boyfriend forced them to.
Enough said.

Oh hell, If that's what he said, then I guess I'm wrong too, that's not how I remember it.
Sorry. But I'm not sorry to Bolean, I'm sick to death of him.
You need to get a little humility and have your ego brought down to where normal alcoholic's egos are. Your ego will get your drunk again. Mark my words.
I responded for a couple viable reasons.
I don't like being told something I said was incorrect information from ANYBODY that is misinformed. I do not like being accused of ANYTHING I did not do. I am so guilty of so many things that I have done that being accused of something I didn't do is probably my my top pet peeve. Repeating myself is probably my top second pet peeve but I will: I like humor in this room and if there wasn't humor in this room I wouldn't be here. Boleon: I don't know where you got your info from but it was just a joke and not ILiketobeFrank's history. Gawd....
Dan didn't go to a prostitute. He made a joke and the joke wasn't even about *him* going to a prostitute. It was about someone else going to a prostitute.
YOU ARE TAKING SOMEONE'S INVENTORY AND THAT'S AGAINST THE BIG BOOK AND AGAINST A.A. YOU NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND YOUR HUGE EGO OR YOU WILL DRINK.

2. If he says he will pay her and doesn't, that is a lie and deception.

3. If he fails to pay her what he owes her that is illegal and immoral.

6. If he just made it up to shock people that is sophomoric behavior.
He made a joke that he found off of the net and you have no sense of humor and take life much too seriously. You have not been sober long enough to tell people how to be sober.

7. If he is logging-on with an alias because he was banned twice before for doing this kind of crap, that is the real issue here! "
My brother, Dipsodan aka ILikeToBeFrank as he's now known has gotten permission to be back on DS, he's not using an alias, he was told he couldn't use his old name when he was given permission to come back. Stop your guessing about what he's doing wrong in your psychotic mind. You have him all wrong. Maybe you're judging him based on who you are. I can see no other reason for you to judge him so harshly and hate him so much, other than one other possibility, you're jealous of his likability which you don't possess.
I didn't get to read all of the posts on 'frank's' joke discussion, as it seems to have been deleted, but I do think u r trying to tell him that u were hurt in one way, and because you know him better, know that he didn't mean anything by it, and that he just wasn't thinking.
U said, "I don't think Dan is a horrible person by any sense fo the word. I find him quite, uh...a bit more than likeable." Right there it says it.
Hugs. Sorry for all of this!
