Request by someone we've come to know here......

Hi all!!!
I was asked by Denni to start a new thread and explain to all of you why she had to stop posting for now. She obviously loves her family very much and does not want to hurt them by having someone identify her. Her mom was upset about her doing the research on here, and so, she choses not to post here for awhile.
Please, everyone, respect her wishes.
Thanks!
Donna

Nice. We should stay openminded. Hope she returns.

Kind of cool and not impossible.
Just ask Liv Tyler.
Good Luck Denni, whatever your angle.

She's upset that no one here believes her, which in "our" case is very understandable. Apparently, her father's family has never been told about her biological father being Dennis and they don't want the family to find out that dad is not. Did that make sense? Anyway, her mother was upset about her talking about Dennis being her father on the board and doesn't want it getting back to her husband's family. Denni doesn't want to upset the apple cart at home. You can't blame her.
I've always found that it's best to trust someone until they give you reason not to. That's how I'm handling this. Unfortunately, I trusted Bluebird from BW.com enough to lend her $1K last November and she still owes me $700 and it's been 6 months!!!!! I don't like to sound corny people, but do unto others......What if the situation were reversed and Dennis was YOUR dad??? Put yourself in her shoes. If you don't believe her, what have you lost? A few minutes of reading some posts here?
She's had alot to digest in a short amount of time and some posters can be cruel and very skeptical, but let's give her the benefit of the doubt and give her some space.
What can it hurt?

My observation was that the vast majority of us here DID believe Denni, and that we treated her very well. Even those who were skeptical were at least willing to be open-minded.
I hope she comes to realize that, and that she will feel welcome to participate here again.

Amen. We did well by Denni (and Dennis) for the most part, IMO.

She was not banned as she technically has not broken any board rules. We (mods) decided it best to just remove the temptation from the forum and keep it from getting any more intense. The thread could very well have gone far worse if we left it open longer.

And I think this is a good reason as well....

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.
Check out the
Beach Boys Starline
website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.
Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

I am against this normally but in this case it was probably a good idea in any case.

I tend to think more and more that it all was genuine. It was a long series of posts, and there was not the slightest attempt by anyone to make it known that we were fooled (the goal of any prank, of course).
I think in due time she'll be back. Cheers again to DonnaK for being the intermediate.

I agre on her possible authenticity. Posters like AGD who have archival knowledge were believing her, so I tended to also. Poor lady. What a whammy she must have got here. Her curiosity may bring her back, albeit briefly.
