To clear the air over recent events, at this time I would like to offer a public apology.  Last weekend using an alias, I posted on a subject about a ripoff that I had been subject to.  In order to assuage the idea that it was involviong a lady that I consider a friend, I used an alias hoping to divert attention from that lady.  But for all out there, it WAS not the afformention lady, but another who is not currently listed on TER.  Reason being that if I had used my correct identification, many would, as they apparently already have, suspect I was speaking of this wonderful lady.  Just goes to show how some of you out there think.  At this time, I offer an apology to the lady/friend, for the possible hurt that this event may have caused.  For all the suspecious jerks out there, you must live with your own guilty feelings.

You are providing NOTHING constructive....Go find another board or GROW UP.

Lady / Friend ?  We are providers and PROVIDE a service.  We are not your friend / girlfriend / mother.  

You are a stalker.  Maybe the police should get involved - if you were REALLY ripped off, give us the facts.  If you are a nut job (more than likely), the facts will come out.  They always do.

Oh wait, I did hear that, lmfao.  Never mind.

Why the hell don't you just publish the rip offs name ph# etc ? If you are trying to help out fellow hobiest . Isen't that what the board is for ?

but, do you remember Col. Nathan Jessop of the movie "A Few Good Mean"?

"You can't handle the truth" I would refrain from responding here, but you continue to bring this forth in the public, and dragged me into it in the process.

Truth? That is, you seem to have some serious problems. Get this please... "the aforementioned lady" is not your friend, quit bothering her or anyone else you might have thoughts of bothering. Quit driving by her house, standing in her backyard, parking down the street.

And finally quit emailing me sir. I am not some sort of USMC buddy providing cupid services.

If you were truly a Marine, you would wipe off your bloody nose, pick up your gear and move out!

I know what I speak of Sgt.

I decided not to piss gasoline on this classic train wreck post.

With comments like that, I think Smarty left us in good hands.

Glad to have you back in our world Smarty!! Let's go kick some azz!!!

Wow!

I might not be as intuitive as some people. I didn't know who had started that thread until it became obvious to everyone! Even then, it did not occur to me that you were talking about "the lady you consider a friend"! I think most of us know which lady you are referring to, and any of us who knows her also knows that she would NEVER rip anyone off! That whole theory of yours is ridiculous! I knew you were complaining about someone else. What bothered me was that you wouldn't tell us who! What good was your post in the first place? Why bother to warn us of a ripoff but not identify that threat to us?

Then you compounded that problem by posting under your user name in that same thread! If you hadn't done that, that thread would have died a painless death, and NO ONE would have suspected the "lady you consider a friend"!

Wow again! I sure am glad to know that most of the Marines who are out there protecting us and our way of life by risking their own lives are more intelligent than you seem to be!

As I understand it, this apology of yours is directed only to the "lady you consider a friend". That's good; it is up to her to accept it or reject it. You didn't seem to be apologizing to the community at large. That's good too; I, for one, would have a hard time accepting it when it included at least two insults to us, not to mention the original insult to our intelligence that started this whole thing.

You must have really pissed off Smarty.  This is the first time in my memory, that Smarty told someone to "Quit" emailing him.  He likes helping out hobbyist....you done fucked up, Sgt.

Maybe so, but at least he probably is not the individual who hung a dead cat up outside my residence last night, a cat that resembled a certain cat that he also knows.  And I don't believe that he would suspend someone from a new discussion website, for something that had not involved this new site. Time will tell, like we said in Viet Nam, xin loi  MF.

Although a lot of really well thought out responses got posted, I miss Webbie's wonderful wit and detailed analyses and crushing summary.

Hey MS; You can talk to the folks on this board, but you'll be hard pressed to manipulate them. I advise you regularly evaluate your perceived friends, your assumed enemies, and your personal opinions. If things for you are going as I suspect, you couldn't do wrong to slow down and re-think your situation. Consider - You may be starting to worry folks.

Life's short enough as it is. Enjoy it.

Not to start this up again, but I find it ironic that someome complaining about the use of an alias is aparently hiding behind one theirself.  Hopefully a "double standard" is not in play here.

and then replied to yourself under another alias and then replied under your original username.

You are stalking LJ - you are a loser - you want to pick a fight with me you lame ass - you will lose.

Let's see who comes to your defense - Not Smarty - Not Dingus - they both seem to have brains - but where is your's - stuck where the sun don't shine.
