And what a well versed person you must be to take one opinion of a particular subject on a blog and judge someone entirely!

I'm not awash in tragedy. I've had terrible things happen to me and people around me in the course of my life. I can get down from the very real chemical imbalance that's in my brain and that can take a toll. But none of that owns me, never have, never will. I admire this young man for stepping up and saving untold…

I don't even know where to go with this one so I'm just going to put it like this. A young man committed a wonderful, heroic act. He also doesn't want the limelight on himself. The internet had other plans and has made public knowledge his social media accounts, wedding registry, etc. Which yes, wedding registries are…

Who in the heck said I was miserable? I said the act of people latching onto his heroic behavior and making this about them and how they feel was gross. Leave the poor man alone as he requested. Again, leave the man and his fiancee, and their gift registries and their photos and their private lives alone as requested.…

Thank you for the infantile reply. No one who reads this is any more intelligent than 30 seconds prior. Everything you have said is a failure and... sad. But you continue to think you are intelligent. Carry on little Choo Choo. Carry on.

Way to completely avoid why this man doesn't want your gift or your money. Just make yourself feel better that you gave it.. not that it went against every request he made.

My only response is... I hope that made you feel better. You harbinger of faithfulness and wonder on the internet.

Talent has nothing to do with it. I'm more responsible for the response than this gentleman as I did a favor for a friend and it turned.... crazy. I just appeared in a smaller community. And yes, that sucked. I don't know why that's hard for people to understand. I have no ability to walk up to a man, woman or child…

I will cut and paste my slight interaction with being publicized by a third party and what I had to deal with:

I like you and I respect you from several conversations. People are still sticking their nose into business they have nothing to do with 1) by refusing this man's request to be left alone 2) by searching social media for his pics 3) by checking to see what's on his wedding registry.

So you use my argument against you against me? Doesn't that show you anything? I have mentioned his last name once. But I'm just a commenter. No one reads the blog of pingooglau.

Then you completely miss the point about privacy.

You wouldn't find it weird that absolute strangers had your address or access to things you had previously deemed personal prior to this tragedy? Because I sure as hell would.

You seem pleasant. Please take my invasive gratitude because even though - we are strangers - you mean well.

Crawl back into whatever funk you crawled out of.

Thank you! Why is this so hard to understand?!?

Unwanted attention can almost always be viewed as harassment. Or do those principles only apply to certain groups?

Maybe. You seem just as confident in assuming how he feels. Who wins here? At least I have the request for privacy statement on my side (and that Jez posted).

To make this all about me... I was in a commercial several years ago. Local circulation and nothing big and I wasn't expecting it to make as many rounds as it did. Six years later, I still had to deal with people coming up to me at the grocery store or at the laundry or whatever because they saw me on TV and they…

I suppose you missed the key point of *the guests of the wedding*. Because that kind of makes a difference.
