To The Mods....

[Nigel Tufnel]

Allright...this is the last post I'll make about this entire fiasco. I would have liked to respond in one of the other threads, but people make incorrect assumptions in their replies, then the thread is closed and I can't even defend myself.

I like this forum. I have never had anything but praise for this forum until yesterday. I try to help and get treated like crap...by a Moderator nonetheless. Queen...I wasn't provoking Yo. His first two replies to my post asked me if I needed a tissue and told me to take my nose out of Smooth's ass. I don't think I deserve to be treated like that by a Mod. JB...I don't care about the camp counselor comment so, Lord....no, that's not it...go to the other thread and you can see how I was treated.

I just think its unfortunate that such a good site allows its moderators....who I presume should be benevolent and diplomatic...to treat the members like crap. If I started disrespecting everyone in all my replies for no apparent reason, I would think that would be grounds to be banned....yet the Mods can do that? What is this? "Do as we say not as we do." If Yo had simply explained the situation like Queen did and said, "good thought, but it won't work," this entire thing wouldn't have happened. Look, I'm a decent guy...I got along with everyone on this board....I try to offer a solution and am insulted by a Mod.

Skins...I've let it go now. But part of who I am is that I stick up for myself when people disrespect and insult me for no reason.

Its unfortunate that things had to come to this. This could have been easily avoided. Enjoy the rest of the playoffs and baseball season.

Kevin, Queen, JB, whomever....just delete all these threads if you want. You can also just cancel my account. I know when I'm not wanted. That's cool. You guys all have a good laugh about this.

BTW, Wardogs, thanks for having my back. I agree with everything you said. Why post if a Mod can attack, insult and disrespect you and nothing happens....except you get told to drop it...oh well.

Nigel, you don't need to defend yourself. But the way folks were giving me a what for, I felt I needed to. I'm not going to apologise to you but hope you move on after this. You kept saying this is not about smooth anymore. It was never about smooth. Not even for a moment. You kept saying reread my post and everytime I read it again, the more I got pissed. I even read it again this morning and I could'nt for the life of me figure out why you think I would'nt be offended. The only conclusion I came up with is that if you liked smooth and disliked me, well hell, then your post was'nt offensive. But it was and although you will not receive an apology, and I don't have any hard feelings towards you. I chalked it up as someone that meant well but was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nigel, you take care man. Beers on me. Best I can do.

Very commendable!! :thumbs:

Yo...don't drink too much :gulp:

Nigel...have a great long weekend :yeah:

BTW, your acct will not be cancelled. I personally think that if you can just get passed this, you'll be a great addition to this forum. I let all the RESPECTED members speak their mind even when they are speaking of me. Just they way it is. I don't close threads. This is your forum as much as it is anyones. Speak your mind but don't offend anyone in the process. I was very offended with your post but never closed it. But remember, if you have an inteligent what for directed at me, I'll take it like a man. But don't bring no dumb shit.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Fair enough, Yo. But just to clarify...you have every right to be offended by my posts....every post after my initial post that is. I was offended by your initial post where you asked me if I needed a tissue...I thought that was out of bounds when I was just trying to help. I got fired up. I said VERY offensive things towards you because I took offense at what you said to me in your initial post. If you weren't offended or pissed, then I'd wonder about your spine.

Its over....and I'll even offer you this. I apologize for every thing I directed towards you...it was offensive and out of line. I did it as a response to your initial "get a tissue" post. If you can at least acknowledge, without apology, that maybe that was a little harsh, then all is well.

And I never had a hard on for you and loved Smooth....honest to God, was just trying to help. I won't anymore. I think you're right...wrong post at the wrong time. I understand how that happens.

I'm over it...passed it, moved on. I'll probably leave you all alone until football anyway. And I'll be back next year to offer some insight into A-10 hoops just like last year.

Happy Memorial Day....boy does today put this into perspective about how inconsequential this entire fiasco was or not?

Take care, good luck...Yo, I'm sorry for the harsh words. And as always...may everyone kick his man in the nits.:thumbs:

Nigel, half of me says I owe you an aplogy and half says I don't. Its the half of me here right now thats says I owe you an aplogy. Expanation first, then the apology and I hope ya don't get bored cause its long winded LOL
I went down on the river Friday and didn't come back till about noon Saturday. When I got back one of the mods here told me that ALOT of folks were giving me a big ass what for. It took away from them enjoying their weekend and it was my fault that they had to clean up a mess. All of us but one on the river was having a good time. We were laughing and high fives all around and talking about old girlfreinds just having a grand ol time no less. But the guy that owned the property was such and asshole that he took away from the fun and most times abruptly. They have called me all day Sat and Sun and early this morning to come on down. There are too many good folks out there to be nice to assholes. I did'nt forsee having fun with out an abrupt stop at anytime. Now, when I got back, you just happened to be here and it was time for me to clean up my mess. Sir, you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. for that, not your fault an I am truely sorry. I just don't throw up an apology unless its heartfelt. I am sorry and take care man, beers on me and GL
