Some comments on some of the past post regarding John Leblanc and his "intentions."

I wish the people who were complaining about John Leblanc step back and direct their anger elsewhere.  He is not the problem.  By the thousands of posts and time he has given up for free, none of us have the right to hurl insults.  Focus your anger in a postive way towards the source of your problems.  I guarantee you the source of your problems is not John Leblanc.  Rather, it is a govt. system that does not recognize the glaring inconsistencies of its own legislation and actions that have bankrupted and will continue to bankrupt a generation of students. 

As for John and his fees, he doesn't charge for the majority of his services, whether it be the time and 1000s of posts he has freely offered, telephone consultations and his own website which has lots of good info.  I know of clients that he has advocated for free.  Finally, he has a right to earn a living like the rest of us. 

I can think of no finer person.  I have only positive thoughts when I think about the breath of hope and life he has brought to this site. 

I think it is ashame that some of you would be so rude and disrespectful as to shun him off of it.

I hope Mark, that John knows he's welcome to continue to contribute and that the majority of people don't view him as a minority do.

jamjam: Keep the cards and letters coming!!

Just for the record though, that "minority" is usually a multiple personality that periodically reappears in a different alias to discredit and harass Johnny and Mark. Although it appears to be a different person each time (Java Man, Islander and now Pilgrim, but I'm sure you know all the names; you've been around awhile), a pattern of writing and behaviour emerges to cause suspicion...and further investigation usually confirms his reappearance...

Mark's taken care of it...Check his "administration" posts under the "expats" and "bankruptcy" threads.

Next time time you suspect this crap starting to recur, take my advice and lurk rather than jump into the muck...This loser thinks he gains power and importance as he sucks people into the discussion and causes chaos...Sad sad little man with a problem...

And SO deflecting attention away from REAL problems...
