hi,

where did i do that? as i wrote: MOST OF THEM are not of my business, just because they don't concern me! i haven't wrote anything specific about the problems i'm talking about, so why do you all think that you know what i mean? do you all think that i just watch others being abused and then write: it's not of my business? i wouldn't dare. but the problems i mean are none of that kind.

that's not what i had in mind at all. in fact at the moment things aren't that way here.

how do you want to know that?

yes, you're right, but just as long as it concerns problem of the kind you're referring to.
>We all had this
>"it is not our business" mentality.
perhaps i expressed mistakable so i write it down once again:
i'm not that kind of person who just closes his eyes and just defenses ubf. i see problems like you all do. BUT i'm just here in cologne, i cannot stand up for everything you write here in the forum or on your website. i'm willing to hear/take criticism as long as it is right. but understand, you all are NOT HERE (in cologne) so you just CAN'T understand what i mean. you all just think: "oh, he wrote problems, surely he means the typical abusing and manipulating which is common in ubf" or something. but that is not what i was referring to. that's just because i don't see that here respectivley i haven't made such experiences. but there are lots of other problems in this world, most of them personal. and those are not of my business. that's not just an "attitude" i'm standing up for. in fact sometimes i'm sad that those problems do even exist. but i cannot change that, i don't have the right to do that.
