I know people who don't like you will not be happy about this post and people that do like you probably will.
I want to start by saying that i don't and never have hated you. I have an idea the feeling isn't mutual but that's o.k.
The whole ongoing drama with you, your record, or whatever else has had me very unhappy lately, especially hearing and seeing it all from other members. I'm willing to bet in real life you're a good/great guy. I have always put the integrity of this board/forum above any one member and it has never been about personal hatred or jealousy. I just want you to hear and know that.
I truly hope you stay here and continue to post. I had a rough night Saturday while reading posts and i went off on some things. I too am a good person and i don't like these ill feelings. Although some might disagree i've always tried to be fair and treat issues equally.
I have a couple suggestions. You don't have to do it for me by any means but maybe for the forum as a whole. I really wish you wouldn't post a record in bases. Leave the wins/losses and units out of it totally. I have always believed in a capper keeping a record and you know that but i think it would be to your benefit to just skip it in bases and maybe start fresh for football season or whatever comes next. Just keeping the win/loss will obviously be a problem in bases and at this point with people all having different totals as far as units go i just think you would be better off, for your own good. Maybe even start over with a brand new record on Sunday or Monday and get a clean slate to start with, you know (0-0). If others are offended or don't think it's right then they too get a free pass and can/should start fresh.
It's also really hard for people who follow your plays and even ones who don't to hear about you won after the fact when they were not posted. That's great if it happens and i place wagers i don't post too, sometimes at the last minute. I just don't see any benefit to me or anyone else telling people. I either win them or lose them and move on. Posting your $ amounts is really your decision on a daily basis and others do it without a problem. I think there is more of an upside just telling people 1 unit = $100 or whatever and using units but that is truly your decision and you have to do what you feel comfortable doing.
I don't think i have ever posted a thread like this to a single member in which i have had this much friction with and i really hope you read and take this the right way it was intended. It would be easy for me to keep going and going like i have before but i don't want it to be that way.
RJ i really wish you would/could try and start fresh with other members who may have either questioned you in the past or you simply do not like. I promise you that if you do that and they continue to go back in time here i will step in to back you. I can/will do that but only if the things that caused problems in the past stay in the past and don't creep up on us in the future again. People like Tony Vegas are truly good guys here and i think he like some others are just sick of or bitter about things that seem to keep appearing. It certainly doesn't make them bad people for it.
LSUMONSTER, I apologize for being so abraisive. I sometimes think when there is an issue here it would be much easier to handle and deal with without a 1,000 opinions and especially the same ones over and over again. Guys let us handle it and see what comes of it for once. It might work out quicker and better than you think.
It's the best peace offering i have for you, me, and the members here. I certainly didn't spend the time and energy to do this for the fun of it and if i didn't care you never would have seen this thread.
RJ stuff from the past will not be forgotten. It is human nature and everyone owns a memory but i think if i can post a thread and talk civilized to you that you too can do it to/with others you may have had a problem with in the past.
We can't change the past but we can certainly improve on the future.
The ball is truly in your court now and we can either move forward, stay in neutral, or go backwards. You let me know and your response and your response only will set my attitude towards the whole subject one way or another come Sunday.
I really want people who respond to this thread to read it twice. I did and i think it is beneficial to do so before you respond one way or the other.
Good Luck Guys!
