Of interest to some! An unnamed person joined a few days ago, and either due to oversight, failing to read, or whatever, he registered to be a member, and then within a day, asked to have his account removed. Since there are a number of "watchers" (yes people, IP's can be tracked), from another forum, we would bet the pressure was applied, and we complied by removing this individuals account. Fair enough. I don't want anyone to join here that is troubled by either what we do, or lets internet bullying rule their thoughts. It is a shame anyone would be conned by those who claim to be friends, but feel they have to actively "watch" another small forum for defectors.
A few quick truths: We do not care what takes place elsewhere on the internet, in other forums, or as a matter of fact, what our friends or members choose to do. There is no requirement to take any vows to destroy others or ideas...we have enough trouble minding our own business then to worry about snakebiting and anti-venom cures. We are perceived as "negative", since we say it in black and white. It isn't negative when it is just a simple truth. Maybe we should not be as blunt about what we post, but oh well....I'm a pretty blunt individual. I don't stand for bullying, and I have said this before, there isn't a mortal man walking that will dictate to me who I can be friends with, what forums I can join, what information I can view, or basically try to shame me into some misguided loyalty or manipulate my thinking. Just won't happen. I would bet that not one of the "clan" would dare call me on the phone, or care to see me face to face, or actually engage in a discussion with me....the reason? Simple cowardice, lack of integrity, absolutely no personal morals...and no ground to stand on. After a recent call by a "bullied and harassed" individual, who has been very ill, I lost all respect for the garbage that would call someone and flat out lie....and then when exposed, lie again. I hope those guys sleep well at night...bullying a sick man would be an act to take pride in....the God I worship will not see it that way.
If any of the "watchers" actually finds they have a set and wish to discuss or debate this with me, I am easy to find. As an old time brawler that stands up for the principal of right over wrong, I will gladly visit with anyone that takes exception to my activities.
Let's be clear: My name is Jay, I am a general contractor, I live in Hennessey, Oklahoma, and my phone number is 405 853 1563...pretty simple. My direct e-mail is joasis@pldi.net so unlike some, I don't hide.
As I type this, I know none of the cowards will respond, so lets make this simple....do you wonder why they feel the need to "check" on what some of us do on our little forum? I can't imagine why, except exposing what a thief is up to must hurt them. I have said this before, and will say it again, I don't care if this forum grows, or shrinks.....Kirk, Frank, Buzz, and I are paying for this adventure, to have a community, and because it is the right thing to do. It is so cheap, We don't have to have donated items to auction to pay for anything, or have a "pity party" fund drive....no matter what some are told, these forums operate for pennies a day, and we can afford it. And since we don't care about costs, we are not about kissing the backsides of some, and stealing from others. That is it...all there is to it.
