Isn't it sad that a community is now so distrustfull anyone with lets say not 'normal' credentials has to be submitted to such an interogation. Lew - not saying you are not normal - in fact I think everyone is normal. Put a punk rocker in a room of jazz fans an he is not normal, put him in a room of Punk rockers and no one bats an eye lid!

I hope this settles down now and you can become part of the forums community and enjoy it like most of us do!!

Best

I have no doubts whatsoever that you are blind and the circumstances are very unfortunate indeed. However you have a track record over several years of scrounging equipment and re-selling it and this is both a small level via Freecycle and as you admit, on larger items even if it is with permission. Ok this might be a moral issue and you are not concerned about this. But why do you operate under two names? That smacks of dishonesty which is unacceptable.
I believe you are using your disability to con sympathy and obtain goods.

Bob you are entitled to your opinion however unjustified it is. I'm not concerned by what you say as you clearly haven't read my comment above. I'm not here for an argument.

OK the justification of freecycle....

At the time when I started posting on there, I was training some students who were visually impaired and wanted to make sure they had some basic tools, etc. That was why I posted. A local thug appeared on the list and started trouble. this thug was one of my bullies. from there I was receiving threats and abuse from certain people.

I later on was up and running but locally speaking was receiving a fair bit of abuse.

Perhaps one day if you were in the position of no sight, no employment, etc trying to fight to get where you need to be then see what generates from there. until then it ain't worth trying to judge unless you're in the same shoes.

sorry but as far as I'm concerned I haven't the mental strength to keep going on this. just leave me be. To all others who have taken the time to get to know me, I'm glad to know you.

ahhhhhh if the bullies are following you online, that may go along way to explain the change of names.

Lewis I wish you well

Thank you mark. I do appreciate it. I get fed up of it to be completely honest. I just want a peaceful, simple life without any negativity. just to get back to what matters. while I'm still on this earth.
