First of all, Janis is a person known to most people here, so I thought that this was the right forum to post the message . Secondly, Janis clearly indicated in her email to me that she wanted "to connect up with old friends again", the last is a direct quote from the email I received from her this morning. And last, who brought in the word "moral" here? It never crossed my mind that anyone could think about moral when we really talk about a person's happiness.
If you or anyone else feel offended by my message, please accept my apology.
>Unless Jim asked you to do so, you need to stop and think before you post. The quote from Jim's facebook was to the effect that here my new facebook, if you want to reconnect fine, if not fine. Thus leaving it to the individual to proceed as they wish.

>You are posting and pushing an agenda that everyone has to cheer this announcement. To not do so, one would either have to not reply or lie.

>A simple announcement explaining how to locate Jim might have been neutral and acceptable, but I for one do not appreciate having anyone's moral agenda pushed on me with your 'congrats'. Whether or not you think congrats are in order is your business and your opinion, please keep it to yourself.

OK so here it is a relatively big day for me. I have been scarse on this Facebook page because I am in a process in my life of finally realizing my true self. I am making some changes. Some of you may think these are big changes and some may may think yeah so... Anyway I have another Facebook profile on which I am very active though most of you may not recognize me on that profile as it is for a woman named Janis Shirley Booth. Janis is me. I have friended this profile with that one so that those of you who wish to can find me there and those of you who don't wish to don't have to. Thanks folks.
