I have asked nicely that the "watched" banner be removed, I am asking once again to please remove it.. You said that we should move forward, then why try to shame me for an issue that I did not start?.. Please, remove the banner.

What the hell does that mean anyway "watched", as if though you don't usually do that anyway?.. Maybe you should label me "ignore", cause that's what cliques do.

Almost, why is it necessary to do all of this publicly instead of taking it up privately with the moderators? It's disrespectful to the rest of the forum members here who are not involved in your issues.

And so you change your inflammatory signature line once asked to something passive aggressive and still rather inflammatory, just in a lesser degree. From someone who has been on these forums for a decade I can tell you this isn't really the road to travel.

btw, don't bother replying to me because I'm not going to get into some useless back and forth with you. Thanks.

I did take it up privately and its being "ignored".. The issue was about "privacy" and here I go again.. I just want them to take that thing off.

Almost … Im just a regular forum member here so please take this for what its worth …

Please give Joe a chance, it’s not easy doing what he has volunteered to do . If you really want to move on then why not just do so … that is not a question .

Almost2late · « **Reply #5 on:** March 12, 2015, 02:48:57 pm »

So your saying that I should just leave, right? I should just go away.. Cause I'm not worth the back and fourth, right?

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #6 on:** March 12, 2015, 02:52:26 pm »

Almost, what I'm saying is just let it go. Change your signature line to something that doesn't refer to this issue and doesn't continue the drama. Then just move on to something else. Why dig the whole deeper? It's just an internet message board.

Otherwise I have no opinion of you bad or good, because I don't know you.

Almost2late · « **Reply #7 on:** March 12, 2015, 02:59:48 pm »

And you don't wanna know me..

I removed the passive/aggressive crap.. Can the lord of the forum please remove the green nasty label from my profile, thank you sir!

I don't understand how I'm the one digging a hole, I'm not violating any rules.. And it's not just an internet board to me.. But I forget, no back and fourth, we save that for the people that matter.

Thank you for your cooperation

Almost2late · « **Reply #11 on:** March 12, 2015, 03:54:22 pm »

Your cooperation is very important to me, please remove the green thing.

Almost2late · « **Reply #12 on:** March 12, 2015, 04:48:35 pm »

Okay, you guys don't have to worry bout me upsetting your little happy family.. I'll leave y'all alone to your fun and socializing.. I'll take my aidsy fuckin self out of your precious hiv forum.. Like I said before, its not just a message board to me and I guess its why it hurts so much to say good-bye.. I'm sorry if I behaved like an asshole but sometimes it be's like that.

Moderators are volunteers and not online to do anyone's and everyone's bidding immediately. Why don't you chill out.

I always found the "watched" tag to be a badge of honor of sorts. It's also in my favorite color, green.

i would like to point out that if I never looked at your profile (which I had not done until you posted this thread) I would have never known your account was "watched". So while I can understand that you might want this status changed (I have no comment on the status because I have no idea why you got it and I don't plan to read through all your posts to find out either), please don't feel stigmatized for having that status because if you hadn't made it public here, I doubt anyone would have ever known that your account was "watched"

Now the green thing has been removed.
Please let it go and stay.

DANIELtakashi · « **Reply #19 on:** March 13, 2015, 05:44:24 am »

I would like to share this with you.
I joined this site last December. I had had PCP earlier that year. I was just devastated being hopeless thinking about dying everyday. To tell you the truth, l came near suicide more than ten times. I put my first posting immediately after becoming a member and I received responses from many people - Jeff, leatherman, TONNY, Andy, drewm, zack, ... and you Almost. This site has taugjt me that I sm not alone and that I can live. This is a family. Although I am living far across the ocean from most of you but I am part of this family and I am happy about it.
Let us move on.

Dearest almost2Late,

We represent the Pariah Guild, and in the name of the Pariah Guild, we wish to welcome you to poz.com. It seems you've been nominated to our committee by a jury of your peers.

Our best counsel to you, our newest colleague, is that you only read the burn book without contributing to it. In between the class president power trips and mean girl monologues, there is a lot of useful information on this site.

Sincerely,
MUNCHKIN #6791

Almost2late · « **Reply #22 on:** March 14, 2015, 08:41:26 pm »

Dear Joe,

After some time cooling off after this incident, I realized that I needed to come clean and fess up to my vile and inappropriate comments to you.. I don't know how it happened, why it happened and it no longer matters to me.. I do know that you did not deserve that.. I'm deeply sorry for all the offending things that I said to you..

My wife has been after me to join a real life support group or get therapy and stay off the internet for a while.. I think she's right.. I have a hard time expressing my feeling about being poz and straight.. I don't know why this seems to be a big issue with me, but I know I can not continue expressing my anger this way..

I would also like to apologize to Mitch.. He was only trying to help me and was dragged into this by no fault of his own.. I'm sorry to both of you.

Sincerely, Frank

Hey Frank,

No apology is needed, but it is appreciated. I know you are angry, I'm just not sure who you are so angry with, but I invite you to stay, talk to us and maybe we can help you out. Your sexuality does not matter so much, as we all share the same feelings when it comes to being poz. There are a lot of people here who care about you, myself included. Anger can make us do terrible things, but it does not make us terrible people. You are having a very difficult time right now and most of us understand that perfectly.

If talking will help you, then start another thread and share what you will. I promise that we will help you in whatever way we can. We care about your Frank, because you matter. Being poz can be really tough, especially when you think you have to do it alone. You only have to do it alone if you want, otherwise, the slate is fresh, so stay and share your thoughts.

All you have to lose is the thought of going through this alone.

All my best,

Joe

Frank, I hope you've finally accepted that we're all in this together regardless of sexuality. I saw your outrage and wasn't sure how to respond. What initally appears to be cliques and cabals is actually a group of people whom have supported each for so long that we care deeply for each other.

If you click on each of our original posts, you might discover that many of us were hot messes at first. Please don't click on mine......I actually got a time out for typing a lot less than you did.

I think I only used "fuck you" once. lol

Frank,

I agree with the wifey, some therapy might help you come to terms with all this. I had a tough time early on with all this myself, so I understand. Please realize it can get better if you let it.

BT65 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 16, 2015, 09:33:57 am »

Frank, I think it shows great character that you were able to apologize. Wolfter is right, there are some of us that have been not only long term survivors of HIV, but have been on these forums for so long that we root for each other and do care, very much.

But we also care about newer members. So, you are perfectly welcome, and welcome to start a new thread about all your issues you are having, whether it's accepting the HIV, or whatever feelings you're struggling being straight and poz. I'm bisexual, but have been married a couple times, only in one marriage knew about being poz. My first husband infected me, but I don't believe he knew he was poz due to being such a chronic alcoholic (alcohol is actually what took him out, way over 20 years ago). So, please talk away, we're here to listen and to support. Welcome back.

Betty

Frank,

I am so glad you were able to talk with your spouse, and had some inner discussions and you found your way back.

Joe K, right on....

I love it when things turn around
