"I seriously doubt the really bad grammas and grampas will ever post at ex member boards. Probably aren't allowed to, or if out now, can't stand to read them. Too painful or for some too scary."

For a long time I suspected the really guilty ex-members of knowing about these boards but avoiding them. Now I know some of them actually want to mingle with the online ex-member community, but can't because their notoriety precedes them. We've had people who ex-members here consider extremely responsible for spearheading child abuse wrote asking if we could expunge mentions of their names, as they claim to have left years ago and now consider what they did to be wrong. We told them theat they have a lot to answer for, and to begin some kind of dialog on these boards. They never did. Perhaps they were just tired of being inconvenienced at having their names googled up every time they applied for a job using a TF-styled bullshit résumé. I figure if they are serious about their remorse, want to do something to undo what they did, and if they want to clear up their reputation, they could take the initiative to do something on these boards. But I suppose that could be too intimidating as well, to think that people will be lining up to have them charged. I can just see exFamily.org being caught between, with people demanding we reveal their locations, etc.
