Missed this.On a lighter note I did receive a surprise PM from a faceless forum member last week telling me "...in two weeks time Jam will be trying to be friendly to you, you watch..."
Turns out you're a week early.

Standing before an American court convicted of the most heinous of child sex crimes, the double lives of Australian citizen Mark J. Newton and his long-term boyfriend Peter Truong were laid bare…
Newton was sentenced to 40 years in prison for sexually abusing the boy he and Truong, 36 from Queensland, had ‘‘adopted’’ after paying a Russian woman $8000 to be their surrogate in 2005.
Police believe the pair had adopted the boy ‘‘for the sole purpose of exploitation’’. The abuse began just days after his birth and over six years the couple travelled the world, offering him up for sex with at least eight men…
Newton and Truong gave an interview to a local ABC reporter in Far North Queensland in 2010 on their battle to have a child as a gay couple....
...
Evidence before the court revealed the abuse began before the couple returned to Australia. One video is said to show Newton performing a sex act on the boy when he was less than two weeks old.
Judge Barker said the pair brainwashed the child to believe the sexual abuse was normal. Newton was also said to have trained the boy to deny any inappropriate behaviour if he was ever questioned by authorities.

You're right. I overreacted BIG TIME and I apologize. I'm not as stellar a poster as you are, Trala. I just post without spending any time planning it out (hence this edit!). I shouldn't have let your posts get under my skin and I am very sorry that I upset you, and regret the embarrassment I caused myself with my untenable behaviour in doing so.
Missed this.
What is this, highschool? Can't believe grown people still act like this.
Smh.
Yeah this place is big with the pm.The thing that really amuses me is the whole contrast to the on and off season PM content.
When BB is on, the PM's I receive usually involve calling me a slut, telling me I must be an “unfit mother”, telling me I am an embarrassment to females, to FOAD (which I discovered means fuck off and die) along with the standard hate mail which usually revolves around me being a bully/arrogant/a pig/demeaning/bitch/**** and so on. On average I usually end up with 4 determined hate spruiking stalkers, although thanks to duckie last year, I got to 5.
However in the off season I have discovered a new PM audience who usually start their emails with "you don't know me and please keep this between us but..." which has come as a surprise. I can remember logging on after Unkie Derspaz and I had a forum sword fight and I had 4 PM’s congratulating me! Ha! Same thing happened when kxk and I hit the forum jelly wrestling pit! I had PM’s from people I don’t know saying nice things! I am not used to nice things in a PM!!! And the funniest thing, the bulk of my PM’s come from people I don’t even know and it feels like they are too scared to acknowledge me publicly given that I am forum poison.
I would now just like to publicly announce that I have saved all the PM's in my saved box, so be warned, if you fuck me off in any way YOUR EMAIL WILL GO PUBLIC!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (just kidding) Ha!

Gay Connecticut couple accused of raping adopted children will face trial
George Harasz, 49, and Douglas Wirth, 45, of Glastonbury, withdrew a deal with prosecutors that would have given them suspended prison sentences and probation, according to reports. The surprise move comes as new allegations by three more adopted children surfaced Friday.
The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial.
Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault.

Nineteen firefighters were killed while battling a central Arizona wildfire that was sparked by lightning Friday and grew quickly Sunday, threatening two rural mountain communities.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer confirmed Sunday night that the 19 had perished outside Prescott, Arizona. They were a fire crew of hotshots—highly specialized wildfire teams that work under especially brutal conditions.
“This is as dark a day as I can remember, with Arizona suffering the truly unimaginable loss of 19 wildland firefighters,” Ms. Brewer said in a statement late Sunday. She said “the fast-moving blaze overtook their position.”
Ms. Brewer added: “It may be days or longer before an investigation reveals how this tragedy occurred.”
Mandatory evacuations were in place for 450 residents in the communities of Yarnell and Peeples Valley, about 85 miles northwest of Phoenix, as high temperatures, low humidity and unpredictable winds made for “extremely bad conditions,” according to local officials.
Reichling said the 19 firefighters were found in an area that also had 19 fire shelters deployed. Some of them were found inside their shelters, which are tent-like structures meant to shield firefighters from flames and heat. They are typically used as a last resort.
Putin Signs Law Banning Gay ‘Propaganda’ Among Children
By Scott Rose - Jul 1, 2013 7:00 AM GMT+0800
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law fining people who “propagate” homosexuality to children, a day after dozens of people were detained following a gay-pride parade in St. Petersburg.
The law introduces fines of 4,000 rubles ($122) to 5,000 rubles for individuals and 10 times those figures for public officials found guilty, according to a copy of the legislation posted to a government website yesterday. Fines for individuals who use mass media or the Internet to propagate homosexuality to minors rise to as much as 100,000 rubles.
...
Opinion polls have shown limited tolerance among Russians for homosexuality. Last year, Moscow City Court upheld the city’s decision to ban gay-pride parades for the next 100 years.

The federal amendments expanded on a law that protects children from pornography and other “harmful information.” The bill prohibits the distribution of information intended to promote or spread “non-traditional sexual orientations’” among minors, or a “distorted conception of the equivalence between traditional and non-traditional sexual relationships.”
The bill also prohibits the “obtrusive spreading of information about non-traditional sexual relationships that may arouse interest in such relationships.”
