Calling out Artyman

[Artyman1200]

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.

Big mistake x2.

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.

Fair enough.

rehabilitation is not out of the question but it takes time.. and effort.

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.

Amen.

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.

Because we gave it to you.

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.

I'd wager some nice cigars that, if you asked, Mark responded........we gonna see a DC# today?

[mrtr33]

......we gonna see a DC# today?

I sent him an addy, and he sent me a DC# today. Was going to try to keep it a secret, and let it be a surprise bomb. I'll keep you updated.

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.
