Patrick Dean Southern Serial womanizer, sexual predator, gigolo, Herpes carrier West Palm Beach Florida

The old saying "He## hath no fury" is most appropriate for describing the individual who created this erroneous report. 

While Mr. Southern is far from perfect, the individual filing this bogus report needs to take a good hard look in a mirror and acknowledge that they are certainly not a perfect human being.  How would she feel if some of her past relationship partners wrote about her short-comings?

I have known Mr. Southern for a year and half and he has proven to be one of the best friends I've ever had.  He is kind and generous and gives of himself without any expectation of anything in return.  I am honored to know this very brave and honest individual. 

He has served our country for almost 20 years and continues to be commited to our freedom. 

It is truly a shame that unsubstantiated reports such as this one can be published.

Judge not ......

As this post’s original author, I only wish I could remove the report entirely.  However, this website does not allow deletions - even by the person submitting.  Posting a rebuttal is my only recourse. The original report here certainly does not (even remotely) reflect the character of my long time friend, Patrick.

My words were clearly written to hurt him to the extent that I was feeling hurt in that moment. My own poor emotional and physical health at the time, coupled with a simple misunderstanding, resulted in my lashing out and making accusations that were spiteful, irrational, and simply not true. I deeply regret this mistake.

I am ashamed that I submitted such a hurtful, inaccurate report about a man whose friendship I have treasured for so many years.  Please don’t judge my friend based on the emotional rant I posted.

Three years later, I am finally ready to explain this ridiculous RipOffReport post about this man, Patrick Dean Southern. First, my name (Elizabeth) was signed to the original, although I did not write one word of it.  I made an incredible mistake in June of 2009 - within hours of leaving an emergency room following a horrifying health scare.  I was contacted by two women who had just been dumped by Patrick, and they were angry. In the moment in which I answered that phone call, I was ill, running a seriously high fever, and yes, I was a little angry with Patrick (my best friend), too.

I will never know why, but I gave these women the information they sought, and by virtue of that action, implied permission to use my identity on "something" they wanted to post online about Patrick. I remember thinking that it might give them some sense of closure, and that whatever it turned out to be, I could convince them to delete whatever they were putting my email address and username into later - before it did any harm.  I was so wrong. I have paid enough for my lack of judgement so long ago, and it's time everyone tool personal responsibility - Patrick and the two authors and the person who came up with the idea in the first place. 

This post was authored by a recently spurned lover who lived South Florida, not by me, a woman who used to live in Kentucky.  I have taken so much heat for these two women and this event, and I am tired, tired of protecting people (yes, I vowed to keep the secret but enough is enough), people who should have thought before they acted in this way and used my identity to do so, and who should have read the rules of the website before added my name to this twisted online drama.  Now, there is a great deal of truth in the report, more than I will ever share with a soul, although I would have phrased all of it very differently, but I never held it against Patrick. I have NEVER wished this man harm, and I have loved him (probably more than he deserves for well over a decade), and I never betrayed him as he believes I did.  I lost my best friend because I took the blame for this report.  Now, Patrick or someone, has sent this Orlando woman, the one who rips the author in that comment above, and she STILL continues to attack and defame me, both online and privately.  (Thank you, Barb.  You have destroyed my faith. Apparently, Patrick really doesn't have very good taste in women.) I will not stoop to this level or these other ex-girlfriends' tactics.

So, Patrick/Barb or whoever you are -  please stop the slander, libel and defamation. You couldn't be more wrong about where this campaign originated.  And, honestly, I no longer care about protecting the identities of the authors.  If my Patrick, the friend I knew and loved, ever remembers who I am and who we were to one another, then I will always offer love and friendship, and I am happy to "tell all."
 
To anyone reading this...go see the other post online about Patrick...I had nothing to do with any of this.  You've been misled if he told you otherwise.

Three years later, and finally, I have had enough - I am ready to explain this ridiculous original
RipOffReport post about Patrick Dean Southern.  First, my name (Elizabeth) was signed 
to the original post, although I did not write one word of it. I had never seen or heard of this site until after it was posted in my name. 

I made an incredible mistake in early June 2009 - and it was within hours of leaving a hospital emergency room following a horrifying health scare (that Patrick indirectly caused).  That evening, I
was contacted by two women I knew slightly, both of whom who had just been dumped unceremoniously by Patrick - and they were angry. In the moment in which I answered that phone, feeling so ill and running a high fever, well yes, I was a little angry with Patrick (my best friend), too.

I take responsibility for my part in this and that is why I allowed Patrick to write an initial rebuttal and posted it here, also under my identity/name/email - I regret all of this and I have apologized enough to the man who was embarrassed by the words of two others, and not by me.  

I will never know why, but I gave these women the information they sought, and by virtue of that action, implied permission to use my identity on "something" they wanted to post online about
Patrick. I remember thinking that it might give them some sense of closure, and that whatever it turned out to be, I could convince them to delete whatever they were putting my email address and username into later - before it did any harm.  I was so wrong. I have paid enough for my
lack of judgement so long ago, and it's time everyone tool personal responsibility - Patrick and the two authors and the person who came up with the idea in the first place.

To anyone reading this...go see the other posts on Google about this guy.  He has hurt a lot of lovely women, and I am not among them. I had nothing to do with any of this.  You've been misled if he told you I was the appropriate scapegoat, for that is how I have been used and nothing more. - E
