Have you ever posted the backstory to your falling out with Rekieta?
A few times, yes. Basically, the defining moment was his behavior back during the Faith/Ralph revenge porn shitshow. That's when I knew the public persona did not match who the man actually is.
Like I've said a number of times since that happened though, my reasons for becoming critical of him seem almost "quaint" compared to how bad he is now. They're kinda cut from the same cloth, and I think I got a early view of who he really is back then, but it's
way more extreme now.
Given how he aired you out in the Dear John stream and how central that's become to the lore about his downfall (isn't it the stream that led his online buddies to talk about the need for an intervention?) I know I'd be really curious to hear a detailed account of how and why you became disillusioned with him.
It has been suggested to me by a number of people (some in site administration) to not do a long autistic bullet-pointed power-leveling post confirming or denying specific points of his drunken drugged-up "Dear John" rant. I think it's sage advice. What I will simply say is that it is fact mixed with fiction and leave it at that.
I, along with others, think the primary reason he did it is he was mad at the Farms in general, and I got singled out specifically that night because, unlike most people here who are anonymous to him, he knew who I was and certain things about me, and therefore he saw me as the most vulnerable link in the chain.
There was nothing distinctly different in my posts here compared to those of others made at the same time. I think, as recent events have amply demonstrated, people (including myself) were beginning to hit really close to the mark with the speculation as to how bad and degenerate things had gotten in that house and his life.
Indeed,
@Rotollo 2 asked me a similar question on my profile back in September, over five months
before "Dear John," and I responded thusly:
Based on many things I have read, and contrary to what he was hoping for, I think "Dear John" backfired on him badly. I will also say I am enormously grateful for the outpouring of support and well wishes I have received in the aftermath, from both here and elsewhere.
"Dear John" is not even the biggest thing anymore. It seemed like it for a time, but three months later you had the cokestream, and the cops smashing down his front door with a battering ram and finding the dope most of us figured he was doing.
Karma? I dunno. But I did ask God (who I believe in, even as he doesn't) to intervene on behalf of his children and any innocents around him. Won't sit here and preach, but make of that what you will. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
It's like someone who watches bodycam footage in their spare time made this:
"You're hurting me!!!"
"Who called you!?" ... *finds out* "That BITCH! She's always had it out for me! I fucking knew it!"
"Bitch set me up... I shouldn't have come here... goddamned bitch." - Marion Berry, during his own cocaine arrest back in the 80s.
