Happy Birthday Dude!
Have a great B-day!
:LineWave:
Happy Birthday Scott!!!
I'm sure we're all hoping your birthday wish is the ability to take responsibility for your own actions, like the comment YOU made in the other thread to INITIALLY create the drama with Ashley...and where you then went on to try to place total blame on me for the thread going south. How brave.
So what are you now anyway...8 years old? :p
happy bday! - this also goes to everyone whose bday i didnt say happy bday on before now because ive never met any of you in person and i didnt want to seem weird.. but i also dont want to be rude and watch everyones bdays go by and stay silent - whatever... happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Scott! Make it a good one. ;-)

It sure didn't take you long to try to align yourself with the person you were originally calling sad just to take the attention off of your own comment that got all this started though did it?
The fact of the matter is that I realized on my own not long after commenting that I might be making an incorrect assumption in thinking your comment was directed at me, and THAT was the reason I changed it. And incidentally, your comment questioning me about why I thought your comment was directed at me wasn't even showing up in the thread at the time I changed my comment, and that's why I'd suggested later that you look again. And besides, if you knew I was simply questioning your sense of humor with my original comment, do you really feel that was justification for implying that I'm a $%&*head? Are you starting to understand why the direction you decided to take didn't go over all that well with me? Do you think it would have gone over very well with ANYONE?
Don't forget, you could have simply said "no" in response to my edited comment rather than offering up your #$%&head comment and prevented this from ever becoming an issue.
Incidentally, VERY convenient that now YOUR posts have been edited from that thread...to remove the incriminating evidence perhaps?
So going back to what got this all started in this thread, I'd also like to make an observation on something that's sad.
Ashley has already illustrated how his comment was legitimate, and speaking only for myself, he didn't even really need to do so because even though I'm not on this site as much as some of the rest of you, even I was aware of his extensive search for CW3's awhile back and as a result knew his question to Kat was more informed on the subject of used CW3 sets for sale than what most others' would have been. Rather than acknowledge that though, it seems you've still not publicly apologized to Ashley for calling his motives into question. But maybe that's how YOU operate, since your private message to me wasn't anywhere NEAR as cordial or diplomatic as you've tried to portray yourself out in the open. What kind of #$%&head does stuff like THAT?
In short, I realized my mistake of possibly making a wrong assumption and tried to correct it right away. What else have you done besides double down on your own wrong assumption?
Speaking of apologizing though, I didn't intend to make your birthday thread a downer, but when some people around here close threads before others get a chance to respond, it seems apparent that the rules of fair play have been thrown to the wayside so a person does what they have to do.
And seriously, at 56 you're still talking about solving your differences with people by fighting? OK, so maybe not 8...we'll be generous and move you on up to 15.
If I donate $20.00 to the site, will you make your visits even LESS frequent???...:naughty:Quote:

All I have to say is I hope someone craps in your corn flakes on your birthday. What a jerk you are for posting this here!
BTW - Well said Ldub, I will also make a $20 contribution to this site if you make your visits to this site less frequent.
Damn, I'd so like to meet Trekk in person...just sayin', I really think we could come to some sort of an agreement, really! And speaking of meeting someone in person, I just met Kate (jeeperkate) tonight to close the deal on some really sweet 18" OEM's with virtually new Goodyears and she is an awesome addition to our merry little band of VX misfits. I'm pretty sure she can hold her own with even the likes of Trekk! And she also has one fine VX...just sayin. :_beer: Seriously Trekk :whiteflag: You win, I lose!
Well... happy birthday, Scott. :o
A blatant lie. And if you think that isn't obvious to everyone, you have obviously miscalculated where you stand on the IQ scale. You could have continued your obsessive, childish desire for drama by taking your stupid, whiny crap-fest to PM or starting a new thread if you obsessively had to get in the last word. But, no, you intentionally dumped in a guy's birthday thread. Just. Plain. Trashy.Quote:

He already responded to Scott's erroneous assumption with tact, class and, well... an appropriate and justifiable level of mild snark. I suspect he's already moved on from the issue and is back to living his real life. Yet here YOU are, once again, acting like the site's unofficial drama queen chasing another member around the forum trying to keep some inane argument burning. Pathetic.

I'm still a big enough sucker, to always render aid where I see a legitimate need.

DONE! ;Dy;:eekgray::uhohgray:
Seriously, though... no offense taken but I disagree. And to scale back my disgust of someone being attacked in his birthday thread and to explain why with a more reasonable attitude...
I recognize the situation he's in because I've been in similar situations myself - "love the topic, but hate the regular posters." I grew to realize I am not going to change and the people I didn't like are not going to change. I recognized that I was voluntarily putting myself into a position where I was voluntarily setting myself up to be unhappy, SO I LEFT. I logged out, deleted the bookmark, never looked back, never missed it and instantly improved my happiness quotient.
This guy... he can't see all that. He's too hung up on trying to "win" some stupid, imaginary *war* that exists only in his own mind. Thankfully I didn't have that kind of baggage so I was able to just walk away and be happy. But then, I wasn't trolling and going out of my way to provoke and attack others, either - I was simply disappointed that people couldn't be civil.
For his own health and the health of the site, he NEEDS to leave even if that means being pushed out involuntarily.
Intervention over.
As this is my Birthday thread, I feel safe weighing in here. It's my fault! I certainly didn't intend to get it going. I wasn't taking a personal jab at Ashley, but I did feel he was trying to harsh Sue's Borbet buzz. He eloquently explained later in that thread that he was not and he and I let it go. I deleted that post as I was wrong in my assumption. Now Trekk thought I was taking a jab at him (for the love of God I don't know why!) and got all snarky. I took him to task, he then deleted and changed his post to appear innocent. I called him out on it and the rest is shameful history. Knowing how Trekk can not let things go, it was inevitable he would take it to this thread after being shut out of the pertinent one. To everyone involved, my appologies. I need to learn to keep my fingers off the keyboard! Say it, forget it; write it, regret it... Words to live by in this digital age!

It seems none of you who have once again felt the need to voice your two cents are considering that Scott's been trying to place the entire blame on me for how the other thread went south because of HIS initial comment. It's already been well illustrated in the past on this site how some of the vxinfo clique operates, and this thread has been yet another example. And anyone with an objective eye KNOWS that's not a biased statement, which is why it wasn't necessary for me to respond to each of your individual comments.
Scott could have confined his comments (both the direct ones and the off-handed/veiled ones) to PM's only too, but he didn't, so he brought this on himself...regardless of what thread I respond in. What's the matter, has Scott been cwying that his birfday thwead got all icky? And still talking about settling his difference with fighting? And here I was thinking that our elders were supposed to set GOOD examples.
It's no wonder the world remains in such a perpetual mess...when older generations double down on their own mistakes, want to shut others up who point out those mistakes with violence, and since actions speak louder than words, clearly illustrate that they're obviously incapable of just letting things go REGARDLESS of saying that they are.
Once, again, sad indeed.
So for all of you who have responded in kind, save your future birthday wishes. I'm sure they'd be as empty of real meaning as your comments in this thread have been anyway. As some of you are obviously yet to realize about me since it hasn't been explained to you, I'd rather people hate me for who I am than have them like me for who I'm not. :p
At least THAT seems to be work'n out well for ya...:thumbup:Quote:

Only to you apparently, since I CLEARLY stated that I was referring only to "those who have once again felt the need to voice their two cents" in this thread and the other one. I never said "everyone". And besides, you've obviously forgotten that not everyone always agree with your comments here regarding our differences. Maybe someday you'll finally come to the conclusion that just because YOU say something on this website, it doesn't automatically mean it's an accurate reflection of reality.Quote:

Convenient memory Scott. It's already been pointed out that I changed my second post BEFORE you ever responded to it, and you deleted your post WELL AFTER the fact. Trying to sugar coat it afterwards to make yourself appear innocent is what has made the rest shameful history. And it's obvious you're trying to make yourself appear that you have no trouble letting things go, but you're trying to do it while at the same time trying to lay all of the blame at my feet. Also shameful, not to mention convenient.Quote:

You just admitted that what got all this started was your fault, but you're STILL trying to blame and ridicule me for everything that's happened since, to the point that you've actually been posturing by making veiled physical threats, apparently thinking you could intimidate me into keeping quiet and once again proving you have no idea who I am or what I'm capable of.
Those are the reasons I've been taking YOU to task.
Don't worry though. I'm well versed in forgiving, since I've encountered many people like you in my life with something to prove. The words I live by are that forgiving and forgetting are two different things though.
Squirm & spin, squirm & spin...:rolleyesgQuote:

Stay tuned for another version of "squirm & spin" in...
3-2-1...
As stated before, it's all about the last word for the trek...and quite frankly, I can't think of anything else that need be said.(unless ya wanna go for name calling & stuff...)
The last word belongs to you...:thumbup:
Name calling? How about sniveling? Whining? Self absorbed? Obstinate? Impossible? Self-righteous? Obnoxious? Obtuse? Indignant? Unapologetic? Annoying!!!!?
Sorry Dub, I just couldn't hold back any longer! At least I deleted the appropriate expletives...:_mecker:
Back to you Trekk, insert final word HERE________
No sorry needed...unless you were call'n me all those things...:_thinkingQuote:

Must be an "ota" thing...:laughing:
Would that be "North Dak'ota'", "Minnes'ota'", or "I care not one i'ota'" about what that WATB thinks anymore? :_huh:
Yeah, let's start with Scott's initial comment. He messed up. He made a wrong assumption and has since admitted his error. Why are you STILL dredging that up after his admission of error?Quote:

And, frankly, SHOVE your repeated whining about "cliques." I watched your little "Bestie", your 2nd-tier, "me-too" crony who typically comes to your rescue - the Chester to your Butch - chase another member around the site FOR OVER A YEAR trying to provoke an argument and yet YOU -- SAID -- NOTHING. You are accusing people of being hypocrites? Apparently your limited understanding of that word only applies when Earth isn't revolving around you.
But, kudos to you - I was surprised that you admitted you were so pleased with getting the negative attention you crave. Rarely does a troll admit their primary goal is provoking others into giving them attention. And, btw, it's not hate - it's pity.
