If you think the people that condone your deception are your 'REAL' friends, then you need to upgrade your friends. Trust me, they're just feeding your fantasy of what constitutes acceptable behavior. How I feel about you personally is immaterial. It's called 'screwing up' and refusing to accept responsibility for it. If that quality makes you admired by some members here, then what can I say; I guess your 'charm' and (self-proclaimed) talent trumps honesty and integrity. Oh, and when I used the term "family", I was referring to a group of people that basically trust each other. So you're right, I guess we DO have to scrap that term now.
BTW, YOU brorght up JD, not me.
