1) I am not a Senyak?
2) I am not afraid of you, your mouth, or your ways...
3) This little nagging woodpecker once told me that the bigger a tree is, the harder it falls....
4) Whatever problems you have in your online forums are yours, not mine. I asked for a formidable basis to make a vote....good, bad, and indifferent.
5) Let's agree to disagree....and to keep our distances... I am a mother & and I wouldn't hesitate to protect my child from anyone-friend, stranger, predator, or anyone who begins to make me question my motherly instincts.... YOU MADE THE COGNITIVE DECISION TO DO WHATEVER YOUR ACTIONS DID THAT GOT YOU CONVICTED.... THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION, EXCUSE OR STORY THAT YOU COULD TELL ME THAT WOULD MAKE ME RESPECT YOUR POSITION FOR WHAT HAPPENED.... NONE....
6) Do not use this forum to start a fight that I won't hesitate to finish. I strongly advise you to keep your distance in words and physical being from my presence.... You created your existence as it is today.... your internal and external issues are yours...not mine.
7) I came to the this forum to share productive, considerate , and realistic situations in order to make a positive difference in our community....not to deal with negative people who try to project their self image on others. Although I can respectfully appreciate your "pickle of a situation in life".... I must distance myself from your rhetoric that is offensive, abusive, and self reflective of your own identity.
8) It is a shame that your knowledge, skills, and abilities are put into question due to a mistake you've made in your life that is IRREVERSIBLE. It's kind of like a drinking and driving accident that kills a sober pedestrian.... life happens... But we all make choices and we must live with the reactions that come with those choices...good, bad, and indifferent.
9) We've got a large populace of criminals in Ward 14.... Tim Russo is not the only one. I believe that we need people who have been through different dynamics such as he has in order to find measures and resolutions that perpetuate solutions, preventative actions, and educates and empowers our residents. It was not my intention to be mean to TR....but trust me...as a mom---- who doesn't wait for my people to back me up---- I wouldn't hesitate to protect my child and the public from anyone else who is being a chronic nuisance to our community at large.
10) Point blankly Tim Russo...from what I see...this forum has been open, exceptionally tolerant, and beyond considerate of you and your postings. I think that you should take some time to sit back, calibrate your negative issues within, be happy that you woke up breathing today....and start showing these people the same courtesies that they appear to have been showing you... Perhaps a little humility, appreciation, respect, and maybe a little apology would go a long way....
I don't have a problem telling you these things politely... If you are here on REALNEO to make positive, productive changes, then let us know! But if you are only here to be hurtful, rude, disrespectful, and contemptuous-then please just leave.
As a community, we have enough to deal with on a daily basis without feeding your need for negative attention. Find some positive ways to be a part of the solutions... don't sit there and try to demotivate our best intentions here and there in the city. Why don't you use your experience to go around to schools speaking to young men about the little mistake that destroyed your life? You could empower tons of them to start using their brains to THINK BEFORE THEY DO! Everything about your existence doesn't have to be mistake.
Life is about ATTITUDE and yours is not a blessing at this time...but only YOU can change that. Life's a bowl of cherries.... It's beautiful outside... and there are thousands of reasons to be grateful.... but you continue to think that your meanness is acceptable...
REAL NEO.... in domestic violence classes....they teach us that the only thing we can change about another person is our reaction to them... Now, it's apparent that Mr. Tim Russo has been given ample opportunities to prove himself mature enough to participate in this forum without being removed. As a new participant in this forum...I will simply abstain from VOTING.... Perhaps Mr. Russo will find some way of leveling off his harsh postings and recognize that he's got a lot of positive things to offer the community at large.
I am a victim of childhood molestation from a friend of my parents who lived in our home. From the ages of 5-7 while I was in kindergarten through 2nd grade...that adult friend took advantage of my innocence... I lived in Tremont then...yes Tremont. I attended Tremont Elementary school too. You can bitch all you want about my parents and what they did or didn't do.... you can say a lot of things...but what it took me years to understand was so simple...that perpetrator violated me and my parents. He was a manipulative con artist...back in the days before everyone was telling those secrets in public...
The laws are screwy...and that guy still walks the streets and can get away with never being labeled as a sex offender...trust me I tried it all to have that perp prosecuted... no photos of him are available.... he's one of the guys you all will just have to look over your shoulder wondering about forever.... the statistics are mind boggling.... particularly the cases that are not documented....the one's that will remain silenced for all too long...
You see, I am not worried about Tim Russo...it's common knowledge he's a convicted person... I am worried about the one's who haven't been caught...the one's who may never get caught... So, I tell friends I have known forever to not be offended when my kid doesn't talk to them...They are ALL strangers...(STRANGER DANGER) and we just don't take chances to leave her with anyone for enough time to violate us all....
That's a tough way to live.... try never leaving your kid out of your sight or hearing distance because you know the predators lurking could destroy her innocence before you blinked... Yep...I am protective...Yep...it's a tough way to live...and yep... I wouldn't have it any other way. That's my baby...
Tim Russo.... I believe that I have been reasonable in my inclusive statements to you. You think long and hard about seeking me out.... I am just not the one to eat your crap at any degree. You be nice or don't speak to me at all.... I'll be civilized and that's the best you should expect.
