I have found FM's home!!!

observer.guardian.co.uk...

How the heck he has got internet access is beyond me!
more on site...

Were you to glance up from the deserted beach below, you might mistake Tranquility Bay for a rather exclusive hotel.

The statuesque white property stands all alone on a sandy curve of southern Jamaica, feathered by palm trees, gazing out across the Caribbean Sea. You would have to look closer to see the guards at the wall. Inside, 250 foreign children are locked up. Almost all are American, but though kept prisoner, they were not sent here by a court of law.

Their parents paid to have them kidnapped and flown here against their will, to be incarcerated for up to three years, sometimes even longer. They will not be released until they are judged to be respectful, polite and obedient enough to rejoin their families.

@ The FM reference!

The general idea isnt that funny, but damn, it does fit his profile!!!!!!!

Yeah...many of our resident nuts only have weekend access

(Tongue firmly planted in cheek)

This is cruel, heartless commentary on one of ATS's most talked about, upstanding citizens.

Have you been delegated the job of tidying up the mess, therefore you need some light relief?

There is still evidence of soilage in the 'Today's Posts' index etc, the valets have not been tidy enough...

Wash it, gas it and give me the keys.

Sick, disgusting, lazy, heal-my-problems-for-me, (and if they're white) white-trash, worthless parents...

I'm sorry, but this is just another example of parents choosing their own peace over the best interests of their children.

Why do you pick on him?

You drag him back here and then only beat him down again.
You know he can't hold his tongue.

He doesn't know anything that you want to see.
Why not just let the poor dude be?

Damn...wonder just how many of those kids are gonna come back 'to the real world' and snap, blowing away their parents and anyone else within gunshot range...

A very interesting assessment, alien, and I wonder if it has a virtual analogy.

Attention-seeking behaviour

+

Jekyll-Hyde

+

Antagonism

=

?

I would replace that "?" with "self destruct"

Come on lighten up its only a joke and a funny one at that!

Its actually a shocking story, well worth reading, ...

sounds like a crime to me
some merc should set them free
might even wind up with a fee
as rich as they would be

tut tut

That is why you are getting my vote. That is why I praise you so. Because unlike most people here, you have a head, AND A HEART.

Shame on all of you. Freemason was a dick but that doesn't mean you have to be either. Grow up people.

" Before sending their teen to Tranquility, parents are advised that it might be prudent to keep their plan a secret, and employ an approved escort service to break the news. The first most teenagers hear of Tranquility is therefore when they are woken from their beds at home at 4am by guards, who place them in a van, handcuffed if necessary, drive them to an airport and fly them to Jamaica. The child will not be allowed to speak to his or her parents for up to six months, or see them for up to a year. "

If I was one of these kids, I would sue my own parents !!! These parents are a living shame.

Also, I wonder why the social service don't say anything.

I would hate to think my child would be so out of control as to warrant that. It would truly make me feel like I've failed as a parent.

FreeMason, Hammerite, TheMaster, HKot, HiramAbi(whatever) has repeatedly come here and displayed a complete lack of respect for every member of this community, and especially the staff who donates time to help manage this community. At this point, when attempting to return again, he deserves whatever lack-of-welcome awaits.

I agree somewhat. All I am trying to point out is that it becomes childish at times. I had a great friend named Ben Johnson. He had a mother who treated him like crap. Did he do the same???

No. Ben learned to live and let live. He learned that people can be jerks. Ben learned that gives him the option of not being like them by going to their level. However I do see the humour and point of Netty's topic. If there is any place that lives by Freemason's dogma than it is this place. I give Netty props on that.

However the other ones here who say things about him out of spite with no reason for doing so know exactly what they are doing. Some people need to learn to not join the bandwagon sometimes. Not all riders are free from sin. Some carry pitch forks and torches. Some on the wagon are out to kill. Not to ride. You See???

If FM would grow up and be a bit more mature, I wouldnt necessarily have a problem with him.

The problem I see with him is that whenever he shows up in whatever guise he creates, he will inevitably start posting in a manner that is derogatory, insulting, and degrading to various parties on ATS. (AV, I refer you to your own signature, with FMs quote about sexist posting)

FM cannot take constructive criticism whatsoever. He is ALWAYS right, and if you cannot see that you are a (fill in the blank with your expletive of choice) and are therefore beneath his notice.

I would also point out that in his more animated postings he seems to loose all touch with reality: "I own you!" ect.

I have heard it said, by more than one person, that FM seems to have a mental condition, and I have to agree with that. He shouldnt be on ATS for the simple reason that one who is not solidly grounded to reality can take things a bit too far with some of the more exotic theories posted here.

Do I have personal history with FM? Yes. He has jumped my a$$ on more than one occassion, and when I shut him down he was only the more pissed off at me for proving him wrong.

I did bring up the suggestion for a one on one debate with him, and I have to say, that was his one chance to prove himself as a poster and a human being, by giving him a chance to research, and to put together a meaningful debate in a mature manner. I guess this task was beyond him however, and he backed out, leading to his banning (again).

I dont think that ATS is an appropriate place for FM until he matures a good deal.

No I don't see.

There is reason as I was trying to point out. One time, two times, even three times being the jerk can be forgiven. But seven times? Get real.

And you friends story about his mom will always have an alternate side you've never heard.

Indeed, indeed. I completely agree with you. All I am trying to point out is that you can be an angel while he continues to be a jerk. Why play his game???

My Uncle is the master at unbearable people. He just lays on more and more kindness with the more and more rudeness that is given to him. In time people give up if you can master the art well. Remember the situation I had with Bella???

If I hadn't of opened my arms to him without clinching my fists I would never of had the relationship I have with him now. It is all about what is in your ability. I know for a fact that you have the ability to overcome Freemason's hate and breed love within him. I have done it and so can you.
