I have been at work all day and only briefly scanned the boards while trying to eat lunch.
First off, I want to express my thanks to the brothers on here that said all the kind words about me during this thread. It makes me feel good knowing that you guys do have a good opinion of me. I know some people may not give a shit what "a bunch of people on the internet" have to say about them but I do. You guys are all important to me and even more so, important to this board. There is no one or two people on here that if they left would cause this place to collapse. It is much bigger than that. That is the great thing about this place. We are here to look out for each other and the board.
second point, While it seems there was just a little misunderstanding and a few mis-placed words. I am glad that nobody was calling me a scumbag, a jerk (or jerf:hysterica ) I can live with, but not a scumbag.
I hope you decide to stick around and get to know us and let us know you.
If you do, we will treat you with all the kindness and respect that you deserve. We want everybody to feel welcome here. I do not think this little faux-paux will in any way cause us to act negativly towards you.
A man's words and actions are the only things we will judge you by.
I understand 100% that you , like us , were upset by the scumbag that caused this problem in the first place.
More on this later...My daughter needs the computer and then I am gonna watch "A history of violence" and then I will be back.
Thanks
John
