Dear Lighter,
Ami has already said on more than one post "I hope I am wrong" or words to that effect.
I feel that it would be far more beneficial, not only for Ami, but for everyone, if an open caring discussion took place with Ami, rather than any passive aggressive / rude / covert postings placed on the board, here and there.
Bearing in mind the agreement we all "ticked" yes in agreement, upon joining this VESMB message board.
Sarcasm is a form of passive aggressive abuse - and I can signpost to that fact which is a truth.
I have sat here feeling immense sadness for Ami, as she is a person, a fellow member of this board, you see, something is just not sitting right with me, regarding how Ami is being treated for posting openly of her real 'gut instinct' concern ......... which is her truth.
I have read again, on the "password" thread, which was to be a step by step form of help to the personage of "Chang, C, Changes, Changing" (why the play on several names, posted here and there, is in all honesty quite baffling to read) and this thread, Izzy's thread, with Ami's message to Dr Grossman, and I do understand exactly why it is that Ami had, has, such a real concern ........ her truth.
Given that prior to "changing's" final posting on January 09, 2008 -- Ami has shared with us on the board that "changing" had been engaged with Ami and had said to Ami that she was in fear of her life, due to the reasons expressed.
Then, "changing" stops posting soon afterward.
What would anyone think? Indeed, a couple of threads were created in earnest, with concerns about "changing's" sudden disappearance and cessation of posting, to which members posted.
According to Ami, apparently, "changing" was open and friendly with Ami, and so understandably Ami would be bewildered to see someone come onto the board as Chang es
and not make contact with Ami. Then, when questions were raised, state that she can't recall the previous personal messages they exchanged. Can't find her profile -- can't do anything about her password.
I really do understand why Ami has openly and honestly posted of her very own concerns and "gut instinct" - based upon what she herself is aware of - for we don't know of the PM friendship, but I believe Ami when she says that there was a PM friendship with "changing" personage up to and including "changing's" last post in early Jan'08.
I myself had a good relationship with "changing" out on the board. But, I did not engage in a PM friendship with "changing"
And so, I too was somewhat bewildered with Chang es postings on the board.
If someone told me in PM's that their life was in danger, then suddenly disappeared for a long time from posting on the board, I too would most likely fear the worst case scenario.
> ISP's and PROXIES etc., ? (of which I am not genned up on, however, someone did post about this here on this board a few months ago -- Jan/Feb time?) I am sure that one could find out about this on the web.

Dear Ami ,
I really do understand the reason why regarding your truth, your gut instinct.
And I feel so saddened to know that you have supported your friend "changing" in your PM friendship, who had expressed a fear for her life with you, for that must have been such a heartrending burden, and then afterward, it must have been quite painful when "changing" disappeared from the board ion January 09, 2008.
Then someone suddenly appears as Chang es and no apparent acknowledgement or direct communication!
Please know that I hear your voice, and I believe you.
Love to you, and to everyone.
Leah
