Yes Kenny, I did send a PM with a scathing opinion of Van and his tactics and his motives. It was wrong, and even if I felt thet way (which I kindof did at the time) I should not have said it in a PM, I should have said it to Van directly. But once again I screwed up. Just so nobody has to go looking for it..
Purobrat in PM to gibu (edited for the one curse word) said:
you should know that Van55 is a troublemaking sh*t stirrer who will seek out everything he can find to support his theories and never point out things that shoot it down.
Gamelover got a bad rap on Cigarwise and Van was enfluential in spreading that to CA and CW. He tried to do the same basic thing to me, I am surprised he hasn't done that here as well.
I would not recommend spreading Van's filth and hurting a good guys rep on CP, it ain't right and it ain't fair. He started a PIF here and it is going well and everyone is happy with it, tho that will change I am sure, now that VAN has had his say here. I am surprised that you would allow Van to influence you so deeply
I subsequently did some research and some soul searching and have decided I was totally wrong in my assessment of Van. If there was to be a train wreck, I would think the wreck is already over.
Once again I made a mistake in my character judgments. This time I was wrong about two people. If my apology to Van is not enough, then Van and I will need to work it out. But this line of banter is just pouring fuel on the burning wreckage. I can take the heat; can you just enjoy the fire without stoking it?
As to my saying I was taking a break, maybe you need to re-read what I said...
If you guys are sick of me and don't want to hear anymore of my BS, then you are in luck. I am going to be very busy on the home front for a while and will be spending much much less time here. I love CP, and I enjoy the banter with guys, so I won't dissapear, but you will see much less of me starting about now.
This statement is still true, but as I stated earlier, there was a hold up in my busy work, which I am getting a remedy for in the morning. Then I will in fact be very busy. But as I said, I ain't going away, in otherwords, I am not taking a break, nor am I running to hide cause I screwed up. I will just be a bit busy. And I am sure when I get finished refurbishing my wife's car :thumbs: I will surely make more mistakes. It is afterall something you expect, right?
