| 10:11 p.m.-2003-08-11 Blue Language Disclaimer from the Captain If you are easily offended, please leave now. If you are easily upset or get your feelings hurt when someone speaks their mind, don't bother to read further. I'm about to say potentially offensive or unpolitically correct things about women, the disabled, the Catholic Church, and gawds only know what else. I'm also likely to use profanity, obscenity, and sheer vulgar language to the fullest extent I can. If you have 'issues', if you have 'triggers', or you just flat don't like to hear 'confrontational' wordings, then please leave now and frankly...don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. There are ALWAYS some sort of bottom feeding lowlifes that will try and better themselves on the back of any tragedy. You think that's not so? Try the Starbucks that charged New York City firemen several hundred dollars to buy their water. How bout all the scum suckers who made 'Patriotic' flags, and buttons, and ribbons, and stickers, and tshirts, and other claptrap, and sold them before the dust had even settled that first day. Eh? Hate those guys? I sure as hell do. I might be a pirate, but I'm not a god damned parasite. To be blunt, there is a woman of questionable integrety who is currently riding on the coat tails of Axel's story. She claims to be a disabled mother, the parent of two to four (depending on her day and her story) disabled children, who inhereted their disability from her. She also claims that because she had a dog that once helped her, she has been training service dogs since the 70s. She has now included and invoked Axel's name on her diaryland site to help lend an air of credability to her own activities. This from a woman who publically bragged she tied her new 'service dog in training' puppy to her supposedly autistic son. But I digress somewhat. Frankly, as far as the 'training of service dogs' and 'advocacy for people with service dogs go', she's a fraud. She didn't know what a service dog was until about a year ago, if that long ago. She DID have a very sweet dog who did many of the things a service animal can and should do, but that dog was dead before she knew what a service dog was. Now, she's claiming that she trains them, that she helped train Axel, and that she works as an advocate for the disabled to help anyone who wants one, get a service animal. It's disgusting, is what it is. What kind of low life excuse for louse excrement would do that? Oh. Right. One who wants to have a little flock of worshippers around her, awed by how much suffering she goes through in the name of love and duty... This woman's sole apparent claim to fame (and to using Axel's name) happens to be that she was on some of the same online support groups that Axel's dad was on. She even claimed to be a friend of the family, which we were happy to accept, until she bluntly told us that she hated gays, that we had an immoral lifestyle, and that all our troubles were God's punishment for leaving the Catholic Church. Mind you, she herself admits that she belongs to a splinter group off the Catholics...so I don't know where she has room to talk. I got 'left' by the Church years ago when some Jesuit priest told me never to come back when I told him I was gay and wanted to kill myself at the age of 17 or so. The other half attended mass for a couple of years as a teen, while he was 'searching for himself'...that was the extent of the 'willfully leaving the Church' that she's been ranting about for who knows how long now to anyone who will listen. Funny, I'd call having two to four disabled children and being disabled a clear sign that someone was pissed at you, if you want to believe in a vengeful God...but no...those are just God's ways of testing the faithful! Bad things happen to you, it's God's punishment! Bad things happen to me, it's just a test, and God loves me. Eh. Whatever. Well, Mrs Holier Than Thou has managed to get Axel's dad alienated off of the few support groups he still sought out since Axel's death. Most were rife with politics and bullshit, and she supposedly offered a secure haven for folks to speak their mind without judgement, but apparently, that was only if you were Catholic and did it missionary style to make sure you made lots more kids, regardless of what kind of burden on society they might be. And I'm sure someone'll point this post out to her. Fine. But before you start trying to take the splinter out of my eye, maybe you should take the log out of yours! And yes, we have contacted her to try and get Axel's name off her webpage/blog. No response, other than to banish Dad and myself off of her so called support group lists, for 'harrassing' her. More like for fear someone might speak up and point out what she was doing. What makes me sickest of all, is the namby pamby attitude the /rest/ of our so-called online friends have taken. Privately, they'll tell us they see everything she's doing...publicly? They kiss up to her and tell her how wonderful and brave she is to tell their stories. Hell if I know. Maybe it's just Mad Cow Disease all over again... Too disgusted to go on, The Captain
