Listen up, you can make excuses, you can defend the abuse, you can join in the downward slide of disrespect and you can justify it as a result of
prior abuse or PTSD.
However, this circle of abuse, will continue as long as members of this forum allow and encourage it, in this case by someone who claims to be a
public servant sworn to uphold a common code of ethics which he has repeatedly failed to do.
Apparently the thin blue line is unbroken, regardless of the cost, regardless of the damage done. Note that this thread is about the abuse, fraud and
physical violence perpetrated by a so called attorney. This case has come to the attention of all three levels of government in Mexico and has
resulted in many arrests and continues in on going case of fraud that is being investigated.
Now we have a connection of abusive behavior associated to the case with a member of the Office of the Public Defender of Orange County. As this case
continue to unfold we have a open case of conspiracy to defraud property owners, intimidate with violence, commit arson, threats continues to be
investigated.
Now we have various member of the forum jumping forward to support the abuse at any cost, justified because it's a friend.
The pathetic nature of this case and the thread and the lack of clear and unambiguous support for ethics and morals is devastating to the community
nature of this site. Furthermore, the behavior of various members demonstrates that there is collusion to further this abuse, threats, bullying,
intimidation and has all but drawn down the quality of the site and distracted from a supportive, law abiding and respectful community.
There will be further repercussions from the actions of those few people in the minority here who collude to intimidate and bully others. Certainly
there has been great damage done. The most clear result is that those who bully are unwelcome at social events and may find themselves named in the
investigation and therefore not welcome visitors. It's unfortunate that Doug continues to support this abuse through dereliction and has allowed it
onto the main board as well as ensured that the abuse is well indexed and searchable by all.
One wonders what has happened to self respect amongst these posters and their so called friends and when did mutual respect go the way of insults and
bullying, since when did poor social behavior become the norm as well as encouraged and since when did it become fashionable to support abusive people
in public.
On the contrary, I would encourage increased social respect, ethics and morals and I would think it is appropriate for BajaGringo, Doug, Tony and
others to encourage David Mayne ******* and others to tone down the public bullying, abuse, insults and encourage David to discuss his personal issues
privately among friends and not target outsiders nor join into the fray of international cases of violence with weapons, intimidation, property theft
and arson in an on going case that has broad implications. |
