... in response to How's married..., posted by Zink on Nov 26, 2001

Thanx for asking.  I replied to this joker only because I was in a goofy mood.  To be honest, I haven't been reading PL-com much lately.

My wife returned to Ukraine to help take care of some family issues (Mom and Grandpa were in an car accident and need someone to take care of them for a bit).  Anyway, I'm going over sometime between January and March to spend a couple of weeks with them also.    

Of course, my wife had to return rather quickly, given the circumstances, so we weren't able to get travel authorization or adjust status.  Sooooooo it's back to the old INS waiting game.  I'm filing the I-130/K-3 this week.

If I learned one thing from filing the K-1, it's 'patience'.    Yes, I'm singing a sweet tune now.  BUT, I'm sure I'll be pulling my hair out in about 3 months from now.  Hehe.

All my best...
D.R.

Ah, the wife left and now you have nothing better to do. That explains it. Glad things are good with you. Hope the in-laws are doing okay.

I have never been to Russia and yes I agree it is a broad remark.  I have raised this issue in hoping of seeking some feedback and other examples and opinions.  I spent over three months in Ukraine and this was the case.  Now I am sure that AM and other Western Men also have nothing to do with their children...  But I do not know of any that live within close proximity and never see their child. I could not live that way. Maybe you could...  not me.

His pattern of behavior is extremely identifiable. I could point you to several series of posts on another board and you would instantly recognize the pattern of posting - the pattern of response - and the manner and attitude contained.

This is not the first time we have seen this guy here. He genuinely has a screw loose - and doesn't mind displaying it for all to see.

I've come to believe that he really does have a deep-down desparate need to believe that someone finds his 'contributions' valuable. His one way of accomplishing that is to try the internet equivalent of shouting louder than everyone else - either by vitriolic posts or by sheer drowning the board in his bile. He *has* learned to tone down the vitriole, lest Patrick ban him from this board entirely and he would lose yet another mouthpiece (he has been banned from 2 other boards), but it has been on display in full and gruesome color on other boards in the past - and to a lesser extent, it continues here.

I do not know the solution exactly. The 4 or 5 times he has appeared here and elsewhere, the only defense was to respond to his each and every baseless and/or accusational post with a set of facts that refute his craziness.

Candidly, I begin to worry for the guy's mental health. I honestly believe, like DavidSD, that he is genuinely a looney tune (no, that is NOT a technical term --smile--), with fewer and fewer lucid moments. I am a bit worried that the confrontational approach that has worked in the past might drive the poor fellow over the edge this time. OTOH, the option of allowing his garbage to stand and for the possibility that someone might read, and believe it, can be equally damaging.

Anyway - you now have a few more bits of data to allow you to put this crap into context.

I hope this helps.

Need not to worry about his mental health.  He, perhaps, was raised in some sect or in very strict religious group.
And strap his blade a little too much.        He only keeps on missing the bus and he wonder why.

What doesn't add up is how he knows that the men live close to their children.  I could find statistics on the divorce rate, and even how many men are in contact with their children, but to know that these men live close to their kids I would only know by being there.
