    Trust me, I saw that. Not trying to downplay what has transpired with you or others. I'm just curious how the redemption is going since the bandwagon has grown so much. Anyone who has had issues has a reason to speak up, but for the most part, it doesn't seem like they are the ones speaking anymore.

    They haven't a clue who has or hasn't been dicked over by this guy's antics. It's forum business. Perhaps they should heed their own advice and keep their own dick beaters off the keyboard if they aren't involved themselves.

    Don't worry halo, I've been burned more than once in my life (BTW; more than hundreds, humble life savings and guess what? I'm still kicking and can still be positive about life!), hard lessons learned and I never had to gang up to get my problems resolved. I was man enough to take care of that on my own.

    If it were at all possible, I sure would. That is the only positive in this thread, the people that promptly turned around and offered help. I truly respect how Polkies respond in this area. The negative in this thread is actually the "cry baby" attitude and this will not change the situation anyhow. OK, enough said I'll get out of your FACE now and go cry elsewhere. :wink:

    I propose that Ben be burned in effigy at Polkfest, and....... that a video of it be posted on youtube! It really is the only logical step to take next ! There've been a few scumbags here that never acknowledged doing anything wrong, or, made any attempt to make amends.

    Common English translations of the word amen include "verily" and "truly". It can also be used colloquially to express strong agreement,[2] as in, for instance, amen to that.[4]:cool:

    An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only on...e and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. 'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.' The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? ' 'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.' For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.' Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding... You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. So, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!:wink:

    I've really been wanting to stay out of this. It's an unfortunate set of circumstances that has happened here and nobody wins in situations like this. I don't want to comment one way or another, what happened between the other parties has happened and it will get sorted out one way or another. What I want to say is Ben has been my friend in the past, continues to be my friend, and will always be my friend. He has done much good for me over the years. Ben I'm really sorry your having problems, and to the others on the board that have been affected by this I'm really sorry too. I hate to see it. I hope everyone can get everything worked and Ben if you ever need to talk about anything, you know how to get in touch with me. If not, shoot me a PM and we'll go from there. I hope that everybody can get this resolved in a reasonable fashion. It really sucks when you see friends of yours on both sides being affected, as is the case with many of us here. Nobody wins, nobody wins.
