It's amazing how some can come across worse then the OP, yet can't seem to see it. Those are the ones that want to pull splinter's from everyone's eyes, while the "provebial" 2x4's remain in their own.............so is the state of the world. If they would apply that same passion toward's the elected criminal's that have been and stay in power for year's,decade's.........but I digress

I will say, that someone who can come forward and admit wrongdoing, admit personal and psychological problem's has taken a step in the right direction to find truth. If we can help this person find his way, should/could we? I think that question deserves a moment's thought at the very least.
Someone who is capable of seeing that they have a problem is capable of fixing it and the responsibility for correcting that problem does not and should not fall on anyone else.
Could MY LIFE/ YOUR LIFE stand up to public scrutiny............? I shudder at the thought,if I look at the question in a very truthful light.
Let's keep it apples to apples. Most of us are not manipulative thieves.
I have been on this earth 45 year's and the one thing I have learned is to fear the "Self Righteous" among us. Those are the ones who will cast the first stone,those are the one's with a closet full of secret's.It's the one's that everyone respect's,the one's that appear so normal and righteous, the ones that blend in so well and hide behind religious fanaticism and speak with forked tongue.............I digress yet again

darn it!
Where did religion come up, did I miss that? I'll cast virtual stones at thieves all day. I'll even cast real fists at them in real life and I'd expect to be treated the same way by my peers. Luckily, I am not a thief.
I don't know what should be done, I can only hope the OP can find himself. I do not know the influences or struggles you have had to deal with in your life, childhood, but do know my own. I like it here and have met some good people on these forum's. Am I worthy.......perhap's not........ depending on who is the Judge.
The OP should repair the problem, beg forgiveness of the person whom he wronged, and then work on apologizing and repairing trust.
I do not agree with all the generalization's in this thread and find it Macabre however, see it everyday in the new's with label's, spin and bullchit from one group to the next. I find it a miracle we have even advanced far enough to even have a internet, with the ignorance I see on the New's everyday and this from what is supposed to be our "leader's", our financial system, our respected greedy cohort's that represent us.
Too political-sounding for me to take seriously.
I have faith the Mod's will make the right decision and the victim will hopefully, weigh in on what he think's should happen to this self admitted thief. At any rate, hopefully, he will have learned a lesson and grow form it.
At least we agree that the mods here generally make the right decision. It's my hope that they treat the OP like every other scammer I've seen scumming about the forum.
