I have every reason to believe that a person is monitoring all that I write, and I am happy to share with them these quotes. Yes, it is in my rights to post opinions and views, even if others do not agree with them. Maybe this person will want to summons all of the quoted writers for slander ― have fun!
That person is welcome to comment on this or any other post I have made. My guess is that the person in question has no courage to defend their actions because they know they are morally corrupt, and are only looking to threaten us with frivolous allegations of slander to hide behind their own guilt.
Only cowards hide behind lawyers and try to blame others for their actions. It’s time for this person to grow-up and pull up their big girl/boy panties and take responsibility for their actions and the damages that they have caused. What a warped, despicable and cowardly person — get a life!
This painting reminds me of just how much I wish Jansen was able to bite despicable cowards in the butt ― go Jansen! As for me, I am very happy to let karma take care of cowards….

“When someone has proven by their actions a pattern of deception, conning, and treachery to benefit themselves, while inflicting pain on those that are vulnerable and who have been manipulated into their moral trust, there is no excuse that can be made for them, or punishment strong enough for them, other than for them to have to live with themselves in the company of their own moral misery.”
