Well, it probably reads: you can't bear to hear it from any of us FGs (Because SGAs demanded actions themselves, remember?!)Which brings me to the next point, that you must have meant me?!Thanks.Why not being honest, since I also brought that subject up, and Indian Joe, according to description, was never in TF.(The other poster could have been even an SGA??)

Frankly, to appear every now & then at Wikipedia is not such straneous effort, to guard the contents is the tremendous work Thorwald did, for which I praise him & I am very thankful for the fact, that it's an SGA, which I learned later.

But I learned here from the project & not at movingon...how come??You still don't approach that question & flare up, when may be some truth is in it.

But if you prefer to discuss at the moment at movingon how good it is, for white tourist to have drowned in the tsunami...well, then you got other problems to take care off.Why not intervene there??

But no, this is so much more important.Sorry, I don't buy it.

And if you happen to be around still, I have one more issue, which rubbed me wrong:

It's long ago, where Albatross send some letter to
TF, suggesting some talk, to sort things out, to
have issues cleared.I thought, it was bold, the way I experienced TF & their rotten-apple-policy.
(Ok, they also have slimy salvaging-policies)
Nonetheless, it was worth a try.I doubt, that TF
followed up on that.

Sometimes I wondered, whether a big motivatingfactor is the contact with lovedones??

On the other hand, you appeared here one time, saying for you it remains a mystery, why we joined TF.Well, great!But is any SGA seriously interested in hearing that???You walked off & I wonder, whether you really want to get some clue.Is anyone of you SGAs at all interested in us old bottles, us idiots who joined, who made you suffer?Or isn't it, that you already wrote us off, as far as understanding the reasons for joining are concerned.At the same time, I don't see it, that wounds are really healing.You yourself hinted in your "Oh please"-post at it.For right now I settled for the reading/interpretation, that we were & are just shit & that at the very best we
can get some applause at movingon to make some
tearjerking confession & everything is back to normal, that TF & also the Exer-FGs are just nutcases, a simplified & on purpose "amplified"
version.

So to sum it up:Talks with TF would have been welcome, but talks with ExFGs are -meanwhile, to be more precise- a waste of time?But I bet you get
a better perspective from people who have left about the reasons why they joined.But may be understanding each other is really so superflues in a world with much bigger problems...so forget my posting.Thanks

So a simple minded question: You're a willing to discuss with TF, but hardly anyone appreciates a talk with the ones who had the guts to leave TF.
A bit strange to me.Could you clarify that??
And as far as James Penn is concerned: honourable,
what he wrote up.Strange though, that some people
in former higher command get more praise, then those, who have left earlier, but might not agree with you.To be frank, I thought it was close to mandatory for James Penn, to set the record straight, for all the BS which happened at WS.

The reason I say this, is that up till today, the
reports of SGAs visiting this site mostly returned with disgust to "your site".So understanding each other seems more than difficult to me, judging by the posts I have read.
