Done Shaggy...
Well, I guess I misread this board. I really had no problem answering Bill publicly , but, you know, Hex had asked us all to keep it civil. He had also told me that he would take care of things if they got out of hand.
There was only 1 person on this board I couldn't get along with, and I tried to ignore the jabs. Admittedly, I jabbed here and there, but I gotta say it was pretty frustrating being poked at and feeling like I couldn't or shouldn't respond because of a request that was made by the operator of the board. As for sending PM's, I remember reading a few months back that Bill didn't do PM's.
So, for my part in this fiasco I apologize. I apologize to Bill, Kevin, you and everybody else who was brought into this because of my actions - and yes, I will admit that I got my butt all hurt and was very frustrated.
As for the contest, it is running. I'd like to finish it and give the sticks away, but if people here feel that there's too much water under the bridge then I understand. The community has spoken loud and clear and I can live with that. I will leave with my tail between my legs when this is done and consider it a learning experience. As for those in the birthday club thread, if you don't feel you want to send me sticks, that's fine. Send them to the troops instead.
Bill, as for where I'm going, I think I'm just gonna stay away from the boards for a while.
...and just for the record, I made absolutely no attempt to get people over here just to vote. This was a matter for the active members to resolve, and they did so.
