Calling out Artyman

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most fucked up, you're about at a 7. You're shitting all over the board in general, and specifically the participants of the PuroPot Pass. I would say "other" participants, but that would imply that you were one of the participants and you haven't participated with any integrity, which puts you more in the category of egocentric, arrogant asshole rather than participant. Others have been pretty goddamn polite, letting your shit slide, hoping you'd pull your head out of your ass, but, for what it's worth, that's over as far I'm concerned.

The guy running the pass generously allowed you to join at a late date after you asked:

One would think that after being given what amounts to special permission you'd be putting in the effort to reciprocate the goodwill of the other participants.

But no, you posted this on or about 6/9:

And then a week later, you insult the board with this bullshit:

Of course you have priorities, and having priorities is not the problem. The problem is your disregard for any kind of timely communication, and your lack of acknowledgment of the same, even after it was pointed out to you. So, leaving people hanging was exactly your intention. That's like sucker punching someone and then saying, 'whoops, I didn't mean to do that.' Action requires thought no matter how compulsive and poorly attended to, and your lameass apology holds no water.

And finally, you come up with this little gem:

More cavalier bullshit. Again, nobody cares that you "disappeared". Just give somebody a heads up. All this amounts to is you blowing another chance to apologize for zero communication.

And now, you've "disappeared" again, no doubt thinking you can come in here whenever and throw some more bullshit around and get away with it.

Fuck that. You don't get it. The only way you can fix this, IMO, is to send the cigars, hope like hell they don't get lost, apologize, and then STFU for a long while, or better, just get off the board and stay off.

I just hope the very small gap between bullshit artist and thief is a little further than you're willing to jump.

Eville was the last to win, so that leaves BWA and Mrtr33 prize sticks, plus Artyman's 3.

Actually, Eville won, but put 3. BWA put 3, I put 3, and Artyman1200 should have put 3. We're talking about a dozen sticks.

I'm disappointed this contest ended this way. Sorry to everyone who played that it ended up like this.

You have no reason to apologize. This was an excellent pass that was a blast for all who particpated.....and everyone else who laughed.

Make things right. Get those smoke out! No reason to hold on to them for this long. Takes only a few minutes to tape the box shut and label it. Then a few more to send it out. Hell the post office will pick right up if you paid online.

I generally didn't read any of the above posts, because I can only guess...

I apologize for bad communication and for not replying to senior members of this board.
I apologize for not doing things in a timely manner.

The sticks will go out tomorrow once I get a verification from Mark on the addy. This turned out not to be a good time for me to get involved in the pass. I should have exercised better discretion and planning. Yes, there is a total of 12 sticks. I know this has hurt my reputation, but it's not fair to write me off as some douchebag. I screwed up and I admit it.

That was just an admission that I already knew I screwed up, not a sign of disrespect.

I apologized. That's all I can do.

I don't think anyone is going to lead you where you need to go (you're a big boy and all) - but (as painful as it is) they're going to kick you in the right direction. The rest is up to you. I will say, though - if you think apologizing is all you can do - you're probably may need to look at the path you're on. You are tasked with restoring your credibility - not the other way around...

Not fair? As you've already stated - you know your reputation has been damaged. You are the only one on the board who has created for yourself a rep as a douchebag, as has been confirmed by all previous posts in this thread and a few in the pass thread.

Except for the whining about the rep you've created, and your admitted failure to examine the remarks on this thread and the ones on the pass thread as closely as the writers intended for them to be (regardless of your own reasons for merely scanning them), you've started a decent apology.

But forget about the name calling, high siding, etc. This is where you're fucked: I would not be a part of a pass in which you are a participant; i.e., you can't be trusted. Doubt if I'm alone on this count.

So stop whining. Time will tell.

Right on the money. It takes a long time to establish a good, solid reputation, and only one second to fuck it all up. For some it's a one-strike-you're-out kinda thing, not saying that's right or wrong, it just is what it is.

Guessing isn't really appropriate. Read the posts. I don't have a dog in this hunt, but people took the time to post and let you know they are upset with you so, you should at least take the time to read what they said.

I would guess that you probably have read every word. Don't know why you wouldn't or why you'd say you didn't.

This just seems like an extension of the flippant and cavalier attitude Ted is referring to in his first post.

I read Ted's post and any other post that actually had a point. Being called a 'phucktard' by some internet stranger means nothing to me. Mark has the DC #.

I would like to think this issue is closed. I admitted fault, I apologized, and I understand it's going to take time and work to rebuild a good reputation.

I don't consider any of my FRIENDS on here as "internet strangers" and if that's what you think we are, I suggest you take your shit somewhere else.

If you had been on the other side, you would be slewing the same derogatory remarks.

The issue is not for you to close, with the cavalier attitude you've been showing, it will be some time before this gets laid to rest... Every apology so far has been laden with self serving dribble. you just don't seem to get it.

lol. You're still not getting it. You blew holes in your own rep and you have only a couple of shreds of cred left. And this was after you were given some of each on credit. Yeah, people come here and are automatically given the benefit of the doubt; no one starts out at zero. But you were given a little extra, simply because you asked. Then you pissed all over it.

The Wall of Shame, the stockade, probation, it doesn't matter what you call it, if you're gonna stick around here, you're going have to endure it or you're going to get culled.

Sure, its only an internet site, but it's one that is fiercely protected from assholes who think they might want to be a part of it and then arrogantly and presumptuously take it for granted.

I'm going to take a stab at "Phucktard": Suspect troll, mooch, thief, and, at the very least, negligent with very little consideration for others. I have to agree. And each of the other posts, and the ones that will surely follow, all actually have a point. You'd do well to take your lumps quietly.

You might like to think the issue is closed, but you would be mistaken. You might get to say how you conduct yourself, but we say when it's over.

:smiley20: By all means, keep the spirit of the pass intact and let some lucky bastid have a surprise.

Artyman,
This all could have been avoided........when the package arrives I will post a visitor msg to your profile modifying my thief comment.

Should you follow thru and truly send the package, my judgment will have been proven incorrect, and my apology (for the thief comment) will be forthcoming.

Well, handle it as you like. It's your funeral. I would think you've been around here long enough to know that what you're doing isn't the best way to warm hearts around here.
