In Reply to: Hi Robbos, thanks 4 your JBR, and I am posted by Balimagic on Sunday, 19. November 2006 at 14:49 Bali Time:
have happened in situations where we have heard things that we do not like???? Gosh people would be killed and the streets would turn into war grounds!
I have a young son myself so i agree totaly and do defend robbos right to protect their son, but there is such a thing as going over board.
I think people realy have to think before they over react!! I have seen many posts of people warning about this or that person and giving discriptions and areas ect, then people read the posts go to Bali have someone who looks similar to the discription and take the honest actions and kindness of this person the wrong way and think
"God it's the pedophile!!"
Yes it's good to put out warnings on these sorts of people and yes you have the right to protect your children, but the people of Bali also have the right to carry out their business with out people screeming in their faces that they are pedophiles every day!!
I feel sorry for 'robbos' that you got this reaction from everyone, but reading about the way you and your husband reacted to it was a very nasty and uncalled for way to deal with your suspicions (however true they may be). Noone wants to see children hurt, but also noone wants to see a possible inocent man accused of horrid dispicable, (hangable in my book) offences!!
By the way Robbos I thought your JBR was still great and sounds like you had heaps of fun!!!
