Solved Changed my mind

I agree Hunter, we need to get back to fish and corals, or corals and fish.

 

So before i start i want to explain why i dont take **** from anyone anymore. I was raised in a religion pretty well known one. Your week consisted of 3 meetings a week plus going door to door on the weekends plus studying for every meeting. That was your life. I tried to be apart of it just never had that thirst for anything spiritual. And still dont to this day. Well i was 19 or 20 i was married it was a pretty ****ty first year to that marriage and a best friend of mine and i mean ride and die what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas kinda thing was getting kicked out of the religion. When someone does something wrong and the uppers find out about it you get a private meeting to find out what can be done to fix your sin. I had been in that room for playing call of duty, sleeping meds <long story>, paintball, and drinking. And for him it was to be kicked out not to be talked to or you get punished as well. So i decided to drink shots till i passed out. So i cracked a new bottle of tequila chopped some limes sit on my lovely inflatable sofa. Well i get to shot 5 a knock on door mom comes in asks whats wrong i say nothing take another then when i get to about half way through with the bottle i black out. When i come to there is a 20gauge shot gun loaded finger on the trigger i reallllly wanted that gun to go off like so bad. Then i blacked out wake up in the shower wife gets home and says what did you do i said i got really drunk. Blacked out again when i woke up i was standing the the living room mom and dad and the wife standing there im telling them how ****ed up this was. Next day i came out a new person i said **** this life im done. I left the wife i moved out on my own stopped going to church and what do i get? I loose my whole family because i got kicked out of the church. And they cant talk to me so to avoid dealing with them i moved 16.5 hours away. I lost all my friends. I keep my friends list small and tight knit. For 1 good friends are hard to come by in this world so damn straight ill fight till there is no life left in me. And anyone that knows me can see that. From that day forward i dont take any crap and i cant stand people ragging on peoples livelihoods, peoples disabilities, and people who can talk some mad crap behind private conversation on the bod. So lets start this coming to Jesus meeting. No offense bill

1. going back to vendors shouldn't make any money is crap. If vendors dont make money, most time they wont come back. And they will let other vendors know. Time is money to these people. Thats why at the ff i spent money with every person there except 1 person and that guy was dave. Because i didnt want to kill any of his nice sps he had.

2. The brackish show. I have seen how well those shows do for saltwater sellers. Its not so great.

3. I was planning on stepping down from assistant trustee before ff but nick needed the help. Bod future fests need to be planned out way ahead of time. It sucked trust me. So i was going to step down after that and nick was the one that kept me going and also talking with drewster when he got the par meter.

4. As for the the presidential thread im not a member mine expired because i had no plans on renewing it after how i seen what goes on the the bod. So for that idk what went on in that thread.

5. Bud lets start with you. You do so ****ing much for this club. You pull so much work out of your *** its not funny nobody could do what you do. You need member of the year award. Seriously. But bud you should have stepped down after that vacation to Florida thing happened. Family should come first club be damned. Some people dont have family so make the best of yours.

6. Ray idk want to even say. I dont hate you i just mildly dislike you. Untill yesterday and i cant really stand you. Talking about a disability is some place a man shouldn't go. If the readers want to know what im talking about you keep pushing for open bod discussion of the poll thread. I know what it says so i hope it stays the same.

6. Craig i have come to you for advice on qt tanks and general knowledge. And it was helpful. Thats all i got to say about you the rest isnt polite.

7. This is for the general bod i didnt come here to start problems but when the dust flies i can stand my own and ill stand with my friends. I do not apologize for anything that i said yesterday. And i still stand by my second to last post on donnys fresh water saltwater thread. Which reads "this is not how the bod should act in the public. Its time to grow the **** up put on your big girl panties on and move on."

This is all i got to say on this subject i will not say anything more. I am done.and no im not cussing in anger thats just how i talk on a day to day basis.

 

So there I was receiving my brand new setup from GIRS because everyone loved me for getting everyone to look back at the pretty fish. Or the pretty corals.....


On the positive side of things I saw my first real saltwater tank tonight and I'm still drooling over the corals. .....I definitely like the squishy ones haha! I need to get me one of them bull fish for the horns lol

 

I'm honestly just trying to get us to move on from this disaster. This is like someone died, talk about the good they brought not the bad......Or this is a bad breakup, just forget and move on.

Bud I don't know you from a load of coal, but I hope to someday meet you. My only advice is as a leader, move on, don't explain your rationalization, just move on. leaders don't explain, bitching always goes up, never ever down. The leader takes all of the flak, he never states why, unless the leader needs a board to make decisions.

If that is the case then there is no leader, only a speaker for the board.

In the old expression; **** or get off the pot.......

We create more drama by not deleting this thread and dropping it than anything.

So yes I do my best to ease tension and get us back to a group that will bring in new members and encourage others such as myself to join.

So please stop bitching about the problem child that has been removed and what he did or didn't do.....
Start fixing the problem, or just close the group because it is doomed if you can't get over the past digressions.

 

I was going to leave this alone but i forgot to give ray credit where credit is due. After he made his knuckle dragger comment about how ptsd was a cop out for donny i get this message in my inbox after i told him how ****ed up his comment was:

I Apologize if you took direct offence to the comment. It was in fact a statement. I know a number of people with the PTSD, I really do. and they function well on a day to day. But it has been flung around many times. I did not in any way want to offend anyone on my statement. And truly NO disrespect to the men and woman that served out great country!!!! My Apologize to you and your girlfriend..

To which i never responded. Then after i put his *** on blast yesterday i get this message in my inbox:

I really don't care if you don't like me! Or even hate me!
What I posted was towards only one person! You have no clue on what has been said in the past on how many times he has used that term every time he has been backed into a corner. I myself have a cousin with the very same issue! But he doesn't fling it around like loose change! That was the purpose of me saying that!
It's in the threads if you don't believe me. I wasn't disgracing Anyone with that. It's sad that someone uses that when they are in a corner . That was the point I was getting at . BTW I did edit my post due to the fact it was not proper the way I posted it!

Ray i dont hate you those spots are reserved for the extra special people 1st being a upper at the church 2nd being a old best friend who stabbed me in the back 5 times 3rd was a girl who ruined my trust. So no ray i dont hate you just cant stand you i already told you that. I dont give a rats *** if you know 1 person or 1000 people or even everyone with with ptsd and even then you would know that not everyone can deal with it the same. And also just because you know someone with it doesnt give you the right to talk about it the way you did. The reason i posted this in the public is because im tired of **** being private.

 

Dude you might want to apply for a job at Wikileaks

 

Still wondering why the other thread was hidden.

 

You know that was really funny. High five for that one! I have been thinking about getting out of the transport business. But what i find sad is no one on the bod has said anything about one of their own members talking about a persons disability and how messed up it is under any circumstances. And because of that yall are no better than that comment. Im sorry i can stand up for disabilities. I havent said anything baf about anyone that didnt need it. If you look at it all you wony find anything i have said that was bad. It was all your own words not mine. Honestly i know this wont make it to the thread because the bod doesnt want to start another **** storm. But i hope yall just think about that.

 

It made it to the thread.

They still have the other thread hidden for some reason? But they leave this one and the other one where he called the other guy raciest.

Doesn't make much since to me
