Sorry - Apology from "Samarai Jenn" about the entire fake story

[adoptedbyachicken]

Lets not get off track here into stereotypes.

Stick with the topic and allow others to read who may not have been around for the last couple days. Otherwise if it's done being on topic we will just close it.

Thanks!

I am guessing there are quite a few that have not been on this weekend and still don't have a clue about this. I hope if it's closed, it's not deleted or put where they cannot see it. I'm sure there are others that will still need to "process" this.

I was saying it just needs to be closed. Everyone has the same stories about how sad they felt for them, and of corse we need to remember what happened, but it is over and we don't need to talk about it. Just close it and sticky it for a little while maybe... I don't like seeing someone with this problem or whatever being pretty much attacked. Whoever this was knows what they did was wrong and we will never see them again. Why does it need to be discussed? We don't even know the full story and people's imaginations are going crazy out there.

No matter what issues the perpetrator of this hoax has personally, he or she hurt a lot of our members.

The people here need to have a chance to know what happened and express their feelings, especially if they were involved.

The full story is here as it involves BYC and the caring members who reached out to him/her.
If this distresses you please don't read in here.

Folks, this thread will not be open long and it will be moved to the staff forum for a reference point.

This is a perfect example of why it is important to not give your contact info out to just anyone and why we do not allow donations or fundraising here.

I am more emotional right now than I normally am because for the last week I have had the worst full blown flu ever, temp of around 105, etc.
I have seen alot of fakers on forums in the time I spent moding others. It is never pretty. Usually I just get angry and then move on, writing it off in my head as that fake person really needing mental help, etc.

But this story really got to me. Especially after the loss of one of the babies. I lost a son, probably around the same gestation as these babies were supposed to be, in 2004. It was the worst experience of my life. My family was nearly ripped apart as I was ravaged by mental illness after losing my baby. My poor husband would just have to hold me in bed while I screamed in my sleep for my baby, or worse, follow me around while I sleepwalked, looking for my baby.
It's not a topic I talk about often, but when I found out that "they" had lost one, everything came rushing back for me and it hit many sore spots. I remember being unable to reply to the thread anymore because it was too emotional for me. I remember wanting to just be able to hug "Jenn" because I knew the pain of losing a child, it's so raw and consuming.
I sobbed my heart out when I posted to the music thread and I put my songs in that I played for my little boy.

I cannot wrap my mind around why anyone would want to fake being in pain like that. I ended up hospitalizled after losing my son with a nervous breakdown.
I'm SO glad that others noticed that something was amiss with a woman being so social after losing a child. That was a HUGE red flag. I didn't eat for nearly a week after I lost my baby, and I didn't come online for months and I HATED visitors or anything... I understand that everyone grieves differently but to just be OK about it all and right back here as quick as she was, well something was off there obviously.
4 YEARS after losing my son and the pain is still so raw at times. I see him everywhere I look.


This fake person is a SICK, SICK person who obviously needs some mental help.

I just want to tell all of you who got pulled into this that I love you all as much as someone can love someone they've never really met. You guys are amazing, and pure, and good. I have learned so much from you all while I have been here, I have made so many good friends. I know it hurts to be betrayed like this, but at least we all know who the GOOD PEOPLE are.
BackYardChickens is SO much more than a chicken forum. It is a comfort for so many people. We are a web family and we need to stick together.

We all need a group hug and a box of tissues...

I vote to close thread so the creep cant read anymore of our reactions.

 

[the1much]

doesnt somewhere in "da rulez" doesnt it say, there will be NO questioning the OWNER,,,,or something like that

hehe
i re-read what Terrilacy wrote,, then even read again,,, i dint see where there was a "vote" on this subject.....
i would say,," if your tired of this thread,, unsubscribe,, ignore it when it pops up on recent posts,,,, seems WAY easier to do that,, then argue with the mods,, and the "man himself"

What!? A hippy telling people not to argue with 'the man'? This thread has torn a whole in the universe.

Hopefully it will soon be relegated to the place where stinky old cheese goes to die.
