Begins with which end of the telescope you’re looking thru.  I’m sure that you think yours is the only and right one.  It isn’t – just happens to be yours.  What you state as setting the record straight is just that – your perception of what happened and is for you – valid.  You’ve utilized your interpretation of those events to fit your own outlook and your position.  May they comfort you.  They are however, not the whole story – only your perception of them.

I never thot we would agree – never expected it, nor was I ever your enemy.   As for adding to the drama – seems to me that you were the one posting names and reopening old drama.  That said -

The issue was not and never was as far as I was concerned one of gender – could care less what gender someone was born as or decided they wanted to morph themselves into.  BTW, when someone petitions to have their name officially changed and it is approved – it is an easy matter to have a new birth certificate issued.  It costs about 10 pounds in the UK to purchase one and the proof required to establish that you are that individual, is minimal at best.  The original birth certificate however – still exists as does the birth certificate of Dave’s daughter which lists him as the father.   Non payment of child support is also a matter of record.  The individual has a long history of alcohol abuse – ‘borrowed’ things including money which did not belong to them which they never returned and miss-represented themselves – including fabricating nationality, credentials and employment history.  I requested that people make their own minds up – you’ve chosen to accept them for whom and what they are…that’s your prerogative. 

I never said that your daughter would be kidnapped at a gathering.  What was  relayed was that 2 separate individuals had seen your daughter being TAKEN and you crying.  There are many ways to take a child – did not the ‘stupid’ comment take something from her and from you? 

Since many of those I term family and friends are yours as well - if you feel that they are stalking you I suggest that you take it up with them on an individual basis.  I would not presume to tell them what to do.

Vinnie is what he is.   I’ve not spoken to him in over 8 months.  I’ll arrange to have your comments relayed to him. 

Lastly, I support free speech just as I support your right to it too.  Supporting it does not mean that I agree with what is being spoken.  I’ve never considered the loss of a child to be a subject for humor.  However, the right for others to consider it so is protected by the law – regardless of how offensive or objectionable personally I might find it.
