subject: tip…

Hope this helps…

I have uncovered a guy who’s been pretending to be a productive member of society, preaching etc, outing others, but in truth he’s been leaching, first off my insurance premiums, now off my taxes… He’s claiming he’s depressed. I’m sure he is.  Being found out as a fake would make me sad as fuck. You’re wife seems nice. And I’m guessing her plea for help so you don’t go to jail is her only hope. May be you can practice what you preach and just man up now. Get a job. Stop interfering in other peoples lives and shut up. You never know. It may cheer you up.

Chelsea

Thanks Chelsea (doubt that is your real name) thanks for showing the same amount of understanding of the issues surrounding depression as Fidelity Life.

    “thanks for show­ing the same amount of under­stand­ing of the issues…” pmsl…regret those abusive attacks on bennies yet? Oh listen – Is that the sound of chickens coming home to roost? Or maybe it’s just a whining bludging beneficiary scum who’s too lazy & self-centered to get off his arse & work for a living.

    There are many haters and wreckers out there Cam, just ignore them and focus on your happy memories and remind yourself of the good times to come. There will be many.

    I’ve sent a polite response to Chelsea too (got a life yet C?).

    fuck them

    These silly fucks dont realise when its from the insurance company youve paid for . Would Chelsea send back the cheque if her partner died and she got $300k.
    Thats why its called insurance.

    AS for the treatment, have you tried to get a reommendation for Segar House, its publically funded group therapy. And it works better than pills, when they havent

    Some of us also agree with Chelsea. I only hope that when you lose your house your internet connection goes with it. It’s you not Chelsea who is a “hater and a wrecker”, it’s you.

    Any doubts I had about that were removed when you went on TV saying there was one name suppression case you agreed on principle should remain suppressed because of the child in that case. Then a month later when the publicity you so desire died down, what did you do? You revealed the name.

    I’m not a big believer in karma or any hippie crap like that, but when you send as much negativity out into the world as you have whale, you’re bound to see it all come home to roost…

    Nothing wrong with what chelsea did … its no worse than what the owner of this blog has done to others consistently.

    The onus is now on John Slater the Father of the owner – and his Family and the family of Juana Atkins (the wife of the owner) to decide that they will lend a helping hand to this family and do something about him before he does damage that may have more farreaching repercussions. Their Son – soninlaw and friend etc needs help and he isnt going to be getting it by being let loose on an unsuspecting public and individuals who deserve better than to be a therapeutic tool for this person.

    It seems a whole heap of people sitting in the National Party, the families of the blog owner and as far away as Asia, have sat by and some of them have at times supported the blog owner in outrageous and damaging behaviour. The clear evidence sits on a number of other blogs including this one (except the removed bits from this one over the weekend).

    The family of James Webster can attest to that. Numerous others can too.

    if we were ruled by this sort of right wing – we would all be under constant surveillance by the thought police and randomly called f….wits or c…ts thieves, poofs or liars or similar – only without the exclusions. It ISNT funny either.

  • xenophon

    Leaving someone like the blog owner – with serious issues around depression etc to the ‘tender’ mercies of what appear to be “good ole banjo playing boys and girls” of NZ who go beyond acting only as ‘commenters’ but also much like petrol thrown on a bonfire … is frankly criminal. If brown stuff hits the fan – and someone gets really hurt … what will you do then…??? Usually volunteers for blame are thin on the ground arent they…

    I leave this comment as an appeal to John Slater – the Slater Family and the Atkins family to act NOW – also to those who post and blog as this mans friends and loyal colleagues … do the decent thing and actually care for this man as though he was worth saving and not just grandstanding for. Your blog posts in support are just not what is required.

    Jeez, is this Whaleoil or fucking Oprah now?

  • rach

    Hey Chelsea or who ever the hell you are. What have you ever put back into the community? What is you greatest achievement in life?
    Thank god for someone like you who can be so judgmental, you must be such an amazing person and have done so much with your life that you can criticize someone else’s actions which start out as being nobel however they end up.
    I am pleased to see your open minded treatment of someone less fortunate as you. I hope that if you ever experience mental illness in your life that you receive the same criticisms and scrutiny that you have shown here.
    Treat others as you wish to be treated and let he who is without sin cast the first stone I say!

  • overthehill

    Great advice for WailOil there, rach.
    “Treat oth­ers as you wish to be treated”
    He’s done that, and I guess now he’s reaping the rewards.
