Gary Glitter Released

[lankeela]

after serving 8 of his 16 year sentence - do you think he could resurrect his music career? I still enjoy his records and would probably go to a gig if he did one locally. Or do you think he should be permanently outcast?

I know you didn't, Andres.

Thanks, gnessXX

Welcome, Andres. This is something I feel very strongly about. You will know, from your post, what an abuser goes through. Others who haven't or don't know anyone who has can have no idea about what it does to you and how it really affects you in the strangest of ways for ever. x

Hadn't thought of that, Ellie. Just had a look. You're right. :-)

gness---I don't know how on earth you managed to hold your secret for such a long time. It must have been such a relief when you were able to tell Dave. Try to concentrate on the good things in life now because you've a lot of living to do yet.

> I think you have known me long enough and well enough on here, to know that if I knew of any artist who was a paedophile, before I heard any of his or her work, I would of course not be remotely interested in having anything to do with them.

Well, I would have thought so. But then you said that a) somebody's personal life is different to their music, and b) a paedo and musician can be listen to objectively, but only as long as they they heard the music first.

nailedit -

// And you have already dismissed my sex offending teacher, //

I did not 'dismiss' your sex offending teacher, I told you I had no comment to make, because I knew, and know, nothing about it, and it's not pertinent to the thread.

// Sicko!

Delete this as well .... //

I am not permitted to delete posts in which I am directly involved, but I have reported you for abuse.

// I just dont get you Andy..... //

Then feel free to stop addressing me in posts.

I don't care what you get or don't get.

Good night.

Me too, Ellie. :-)

Andres. The first person I told was my brother. I had to because I needed to explain to him why my I was struggling with my mother's nastiness towards me. That is a story too long for here.:-)
It was a weight lifted and I was able to tell two friends.
I have difficulties with certain things. My abuser would follow me to junior school on his bike and just stare at me with a sleezy smile. That's another thing I struggle with, being stared at, because I see his face after all these years. Dave understands that and other things and is brilliant. It's good when folk understand....hurtful when they don't.
And yes....a good life now!....x

Just what I thought, Jno...they'll head for jokes first.
