To those of you whom I’ve hurt with my last post, I know it probably will not help much, but I am truly sorry. I wish I could go back in time and not do what I did, but I can’t, and ironically that’s a luxury I have that Tommy doesn’t anymore. I made the post private, it’s bad enough that those of you who saw it did so. I don’t want to hurt anyone

The kids that are still in school all were talking about the things Steve wrote. Though I'm not in school anymore I heard a lot about it. Nobody said they were innocent, but surely they have enough respect not to write the things that were written. Its just arrogant and just not caring about anyone but themselves. To those who wrote to Steve with an upset maner, there is nothing wrong with that. He obviously did deserve the lynching that he got if he feels that Thomas Kenny deserved to die. Nobody deserves to die. Im sure his family would love to come and read the things you guys have written. Have a little bit more respect for the family and the people that did care about him even if you didnt. There was nothing wrong with the way people responded to his entry. If I would have read it, I would have done the same thing. If they responded harshly it was because he wrote harshly about Thomas Kenny, and about rumors that werent true. So please just think about his family and friends before you write these things, because obviously a lot of people read these things and it would be sad if it got back to Donna and Jack and even Jacklyn and Krysten.

who is "everybody" in school....just wondering? P.s. Steve's words were harsh, but he is a man that admitted he was wrong and begs for forgiveness, and this is coming from someone who has known him since the age of 3, steve did not mean what he said, it was out of emotion and concern, yes it was harsh, but he has released his sorrow and begs for forgiveness, i dont think he should be looked down upon anymore than evan right now. Neither of them deserve this kind of treatment any longer and it would be childish to drag it out. If anyone wants to hold a grudge than be my guest, but that sure as hell isnt very healthy, if this "anonymous" is someone who was very close or related to Tommy, my apologies, i know how you feel but please forgive, i know its not easy and it will take some time. But lets just all put this behind us and move on, i would hate for everyone to be depressed any longer.

An eye for an eye? Is that how we should do things? Me and Steve have apoligized and admitted we were wrong for saying what we did. We (I at least) don't have to answer to you. I've asked God for forgiveness and he has forgiven me, and thats really all that matters to me although i would like it very much if you could all find it in your hearts to forgive us also. No one deserves to die, but in the same respect everyone deserves forgiveness, even if they say cruel things about someone especially when those words were never intended to hurt (which i can assure you they weren't) "Then Peter came to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, until seventy times seven. Matthew 18:21, 22

Everybody has a right to be upset with me. They should be as far as I am concerned, considering how horrible what I wrote was. I was not myself, I was not in a rational state of mind when I wrote those things. But those are just excuses, and I'm not going to excuse myself no matter what kind of state of mind I was in. I feel absolutely horrible for what I've done, I've hurt so many people, and there was no reason for any of it. I WAS being arrogant, and I WAS being selfish. I took it down so I wouldn't hurt anymore people. I'm not going to hold any grudges against anyone who wrote anything in response to what I said. All of those responses were deserved by me. I forgive all of those people. I just want everyone to know that I do NOT truly believe anything that I said in that post. What happened to Tommy was a tragedy, he did not deserve to die. It could have happened to any one of us. I can't apologize enough to everyone.. To those people that have already forgiven me, I'm glad, it makes me feel a LITTLE better. To everyone else who is still furious with me, you are right to feel that way. I hope everyone can find a way to forgive me for what I did sooner or later. Everyone has faults.. I certainly made mine known to the world. If you can't find a way to forgive me, you'll probably be in good company. You're reading the words of someone who's not going to forgive me either. - Stephen Batza

I love when people yell and scream about steve judging a person he didn't know and then they cuss him out and say this and that when they are in fact doing the same thing to steve.

hypocrites for president!
