Hey Will

[B2G]

Since my response got buried and you've left, I want to post this here so maybe you'll see it.

You owe the owner of this site an apology. Whether your story is accurate or not doesn't matter to me at right now. (OK, it does, but that's not the point). I read what you wrote. And you know what? If you're right, you're still going to have this issue to deal with until you address it. Sometimes it's more than about being right. It's about being honorable, and admitting that you stepped over a line for whatever reason. People are pretty damn forgiving and I know you've had a really hard week. But you can't lash out at those who are on your side. It does nothing for our cause.

Being right without having the respect of those who are in your corner is a pretty hollow victory.

My best, Will.

3. I'm not sure what this is about but Will Pitt must have really........

.....blown it big time. :hide:

5. How would you know that if you don't know what this is about?

6. I have always assumed Will Pitt and Skinner are adults

I think they can work it out between themselves. You :think:

7. Oh For God's Sake Send It To Him In A PM. This Is Totally Inappropriate.

In fact, it is even against the rules.

[lonestarnot]

11. So what he posted should be against the rules.

I know you are so what am I?


I'm so sick of this stupid school yard banter... good god you people~!

[Texasgal]

16. I hate to say it...and I have nothing against Will myself..

But maybe Will should have put that rant in a PM as well....???

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. Agreed. But He Did Delete It Within Minutes.

Unfortunately, the ever-ready disruptors lunged on it as quickly as they could to post it elsewhere. I'm sure Will regrets the post, and lord knows all of us have probably had ones we wished we could take back, that were posted in haste.

[trumad]

20. Exactly

Do yolu know how many posts I've deleted in a matter of seconds because I knew I went to far... The heat of the battle....

[Texasgal]

25. I agree with you...

Maybe to help ease the tension, maybe he should post that he made a mistake and that what he wrote was not what he meant?

Otherwise, I just don't see how this is going to end. Sometimes, just doing the smallest of things can make the biggest difference.

[arwalden]

27. That's Not The Same As An Apology.

Voluntarily deleting one's own post is just an "admission" or acknowledgment of a temporary lapse in good judgment.

13. Where do I sign up to be a babysitter.

[JuniperLea]

26. Behind me!

I'm already warming some behinds! No milk and cookies for this lot, I tell you what!

[JuniperLea]

17. WTF??? I've been defending him against the bashing for days now...

And I just can't believe this bullshit! What a bunch of fucking whiners!

There are those here who will kiss his ass no matter what he says.

There are those who will argue with him no matter what.

I've argued with him in the past, but I've never, ever kissed his ass and I never, ever will. Not my MO by any stretch.

So what if he called some people cretins! There are a lot of cretins here! WTF? The man was honest about that, drunk or not.

There are many here who owe HIM an apology. I've done battle on more than one thread in the past few days trying to verbally split an iron-clad skull so some logic could sink in, and I got called some names and generally got beat up. Who cares? Sticks and stones and all that.

Trashing and making fun of Will and TO isn't cool either. Maybe he just had enough. I know I have.

I only hope all the lily-livered, pantywaist, piss-ants haven't run the man off again!

Hollow victory my lily white ass! A bunch of you have been after his ass for days. I wish my posts went back farther because I swear to goddess I would take the time to go back and show you all how asinine you've sounded.

I should have started keeping a list of names of those who will owe Will and TO an apology when all this is over! Public humiliation goes both ways.

[asthmaticeog]

24. Nobody would be "after his ass" if he didn't pull a dick move...

...in defense of an obvious pile of bullshit.

[JuniperLea]

28. Thanks for proving my point....

Take it back to the schoolyard and neener neener someone else.

[cry baby]

22. You aren't supposed to call out DU members...

and you don't know if there has been an apology or a conversation between them. Skinner doesn't need our protection, nor does he need a demand for an apology from someone who likely knows neither man.

[dogday]

23. And who the hell are you???

You have a lot of nerve to call a du member out like this when you are just a baby... Learn the rules, this is wrong.....

[B2G]

30. Sorry, I'll ask someone to delete it

I didn't know it was against any rules. I'm used to open boards where we can post what's on our minds. I've tried to refrain from posting much, getting a feel for the board...it seems to me that everyone here pretty much was free to say what was in their minds.

[Midlodemocrat]

31. Locking.

It is inappropriate to make assumptions about conversations that may or may not have taken place.

Please don't do this.

Thank you.
