JOhn, I see a few different options for you:
1. Get a new name.
2. Explain yourself and throw yourself at the mercy of the community.
3. Leave.
4. Lurk like you've been doing.

I don't think it's going to be healthy for the community nor you with you mysteriously posting after nearly a year's absence with no explanation. You'll be sniped after every post and I don't think it's good for the site.

Why shouldn't he? You had the balls to talk shit about his financial situation and loans he's received when you're a mooch yourself.

Bwana had reason to have a chapped ass. Apparently JOhn's repaid the money and he and Bwana have settled any differences that my have existed.

My understanding is that any gifts sent in response to his Christmas thread were just that... gifts. The only reason they even came up in the discussion was the unpaid loan painted them in a different light.

Now, if some of those gift givers still feel they were misled, and are upset... so be it. It can be between them and JOhn to settle. But, I think if I were a person who neither gave JOhn a gift, nor even paying for my own shelter, utilities, etc... much less trying to support a family, I'd keep my fuckin yap shut about the financial difficulties of others.

Point is everyone deserves a second chance if they've made good with the people that made bad with.

Besides, you need to go, your mom just called you for dinner. You know how she hates it when you show up at the table without washing your hands and face.
