Indeed.
I have recently learned that as a new guy, that it's not my place to stick my beak into any controversies that take place in the forum, but I have to say- I'm glad this took place.
I was not affected by this dipshit's mooching/scamming firsthand, but I am glad to see the board take action on guys like this so his bullshit doesn't snowball into huge proportions. Other places wouldn't care, so to see this take place was refreshing.
I'd hoped ggarrrryyyy would have seen the light and I was wrong about him. He didn't and I wasn't... In this case - it was fairly obvious from the start for most FOG's that gaaarrrryyy was was too intent with "ME!, ME!" and not enough with "WE".
I've never seen a meltdown as necessarily a bad thing. Oh - it's painful for a while - but it holds valuable lessons for all who are involved or are witness to what's happening.
The value of a "FOG" is not in the length of time they are around a community - it is the experience that they bring to the community. How does one gain experience? By being involved or witness to what's happening.
Unfortunately - most on this membership on this board have not been party to some of the incredible scams that have been masterminded by some crazy folks. In all cases - these scams start much like Mr. gggarrrrrryyy did. Not to say he would be in that class - but certainly if you do not have concern about your fellow board members, and are more concerned about what you get versus what you give - it's a potential recipe for disaster.
Safe travels, gggaaarrrryyyy...![]()

I'm not surprised how this ended.
PIF, PPP, newbie samplers, spring cleaning sale this guy screwed up everything he touched.

Just run everything threw a spell checker.
Is it just me, or does it smell better in here?
I'm bored...Can we bring Gary back?![]()
It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.

Thankfully, that's over. But I've never seen anyone who had to have .02 for everything, kept slitting his own throat with each any every post, and generally made it where I had no desire to read through any thread because of I got tired of every thread having this. Cutting me off while talking to you even if it's an IM is just the same as hanging up the phone. I don't like it when people hang up on me.
ggeise flushed, the cigars got lit, garry got banned, and there was much rejoicing. Man, for thinking you were a cool guy when I first met ya, you turned out to be one serious douche nozzle.
Doesn't matter, you're gone, I've still got FOGS to piss off, and all is right with the world.
