I wish I could like this more than once. So you noticed too? Like an evil apathy over there.

Worse than apathy. I think there was malice. With reflection and hindsight I can honestly say that place preyed upon us. Hatred and envy and cruelty can be contagious and that site reveled in it all.

Wow. Can’t say I’m shocked, but I’ll leave it at that.

I used to be in a private group with her and her selected friend group and after a while I deleted my Facebook for a while. I eventually reactivated my Facebook account and went over to check in with that group only to find out she and some other of them were absolutely shit talking about me and saying a lot of junk about me (rivals days) including my modding over there.

After that point I kind of soured on those posters. They honestly hurt my feelings really bad with that. People I confided in at times (pre purple board) and people that out of the goodness of their heart helped me out with a hospital bill that I was on the hook for because IHS screwed up.

After the purple board she basically gave me a bunch of severe tongue lashings and that turned to hostility when I'd talk about you in any positive way (post hoop with the UNLV guy I think).

I never tried to pick fights with her on here when she came over but she blasted every single one of us after her ultimatum of banning you or she leaves was denied by me.

I just, I don't know and I'm sure her story will be much different than mine, that's assured. I just don't understand what happened there.

Oh, absolutely 100% I see how it divided a portion of us from rivals and it blows my mind how vitriolic and evil some of those folks can be when talking about or to us.

Wish that I was at my computer (keyboard) and not on my phone, where this brief post takes me 10 minutes to type. I will say but this, I hope your defense of me did not cost the board. What I said was - in her defense- inexcusable and I’ve never judged anyone that took that stance against me. It would be a fair judgment. Ironically if anyone would know I stand by fair judgment it’d be BG, who was…I think, seduced by power, but one I butter heads with on her frequent band of me and yer accepted and defended too. I standby what I feel is true. I am a flawed but a righteous man, and the venom and cruelty I spat at PG was (it took me a while to come to this but this is the word)evil. I will go to my death bed, my pride and all, and among my true regrets, will be the bile I spewed one night angry and drunk and in a dark place and yet aware of what I was doing. I cannot fault anyone for hating me after that. Shit, in others shoes, I would. Our very own tortilla - a poster I’ve always dug, write something fair but something that hurt that’s stuck with me every day (yes every day) since, when the board discussed my fate, and he said, paraphrasing, yes he (me) could be allowed back, but, who would want me? That hurt. A lot. And yet, after I got over self pity and moved to self reflection I consider how trivial the pain of those words compared to the vile mockery I made of a fathers loss. No, I marked myself, for all time, with what I said, and any resentment borne against me for that is fair. Does BG harbor preexisting beef with me? Likely, but, who cares? Her grievance with what I did is valid. I’ve always felt semi uncomfortable here in full honesty (since). Cherokee’s awesome daughter reached out to me after. She comforted me and to my continued regret when I finally chose, tail tucked, to return, she was gone. CP, you’ve been- as always- a man, a damn man in full- and I appreciate it more than I can ever convey, but I’ve always felt ever since it’s been…. Well eggshells or more, not with you but everyone (and again fair) never the same, I torched bridges and was a cunt about it. And, that has consequences. But I want you, Nod, ODD and everyone else around here to know I am truly thankful fir the forgiveness, genuine overlooking, of my Goddamned stupidity and anger.
 
Here's a tip I learned from Rivals. Look at who starts a thread welcoming a new mod and then look at the first ones posting on said thread kissing ass. Those posters will be the first ones to get on their knees and take a big long fat one in the mouth if they think it's going to score them brownie points with the powers that be and also the last ones you'd want to count on backing you up in a bar fight.

This must have went down after I got banned. All I know is you were a soundoff soldier during the board wars and that means something. Never change toad. You're a solid guy.
 
For old times .. Soundoff vs TMB.

You know. I argued replying to this because I was afraid it would come across unathentic.

You and I haven't always seen eye to eye. And I'm one of the people that really didn't appreciate that comment on Hoop tgat you made.

However you knowing how bad it was to say that. And understanding why you shouldn't and then also being willing to accept the responsibility for it, is all someone can ask of you.

@CowpokeU is a legit human being. He's different than most, though. He's intelligent enough to realize that he doesn't know everything, and humble enough to admit that he's not perfect. He personifies being Cherokee. I ain't even joking.
