I can't understand why he can't honor his own
word?
If a man does not have his word, he has nothing!

Dear friends,
I know I have been a royal [censored] as of late, well
ok, for a long time. I'm
writing this for my daughters benefit, since she
deserves consideration too,
even though she has never posted here.
I guess I have a unique view of the internet, or
of life in general, but thats
old news. I often engage in mindless banter here,
along with a lot of insults.
This maybe hard for a lot of you to believe, but I
did not mean it as it
sounded, I was sometimes amazed by my own words as
you all were, and when it
got a reaction from you, I picked up on it, and
got WAY TOO carried away in my
pursuit of proving I was right at all costs.
Stupid? Yes. Intentionally hurling
insults? Not all the time. Tim Sullivan who I had
always thought we had an
understanding, and were just kidding, also had a
part in my enlightenment,
although I'm sure it was not intentional ;?)~
I guess a lot of you who dont have me blocked know
me a lot better than those
who do. I read all posts that appear on my server,
like Chris I enjoy a good
train wreck. His opinion has had me re-thinking my
whole position here, many
times over.
I have way more time to spend here than most of
you, and I abused it by posting
constantly out of boredom more than anything else.
Another opinion inspiring me
to write this is the person (sorry, I forgot your
name) who just posted "You
wouldnt treat another piper this way in person, so
why would you do it here?"
and I guess that got me thinking. I might say the
things I do here in person,
but you would look me in the eye and know it was
just drunken banter, or
meaningless words, but in type they take on a
meaning known only to the person
reading them.
So in my daughters best interests I want to say to
all I've insulted that I am
truly sorry for any hurt I caused you, weather
intentional or not. My daughter
has rarely seen physical violence of any kind, and
to see it at games where she
feels most comfortable would be especially hard on
her.
So my friends, I will be making the rounds this
season as long as she wishes to
compete. My request to you is simple, any problem
you have with me personally
is understandable, but best taken up in private
(all that beer is going to make
me HAVE TO pee, and she wont be in the beer tent,
or the mens room lol) so
please use your best judgement (oh god, what did I
just say...) and keep any
problems we have between us, and out of the
kiddies view. Certainly any
reasonable person can understand this.
And for my part, I will limit my posts, and
respect people as I would in
person. I Guess losing Dave (Zudupiper) is still
working on me. I [censored] him
off thinking "I'll see him next month, and we'll
laugh when I apologize", but
now he's gone, and I'm left holding my nutz.
Theres no apologizing for some
things, you just miss too many chances when you
think you have all the time in
the world, and when you realize you dont, its just
too late. I hate to miss all
the chances I could have because of the lunacy
I've posted here.
Theres my belly, its yours for the taking, but do
NOT involve my child in this,
because if your a dad, you'll know that at times
like that things really do get
serious.
Am I perfect? No, I'll still write stupid stuff,
but I'll try to think it over
carefully before I reply, but try to cut me some
slack, and you may see I can
be a reasonable person, as I am in real life.
Bill
