I think the analogy goes, what is ,is what is. Did I get that right?

While we are on the subject, sorry Germ.

IL, some of what you say I will take respondsibility for. I will step up and say, yes, some of what you say is correct. However, that is no longer tolerated and I for one, will not lower myself once again. I did, I publically apologize to the board and it's members. Some will only take this and ridicule it, I expect that. I made some mistakes, I let a few get the best of me which is out of character. I've been here longer than most, there are a few with lower ID #'s than I but not many. I remember a time when these boards were very simple. I miss those times. If you want to place blame where blame should be cast, look at me. I'll accept a level of blame. I had a good interaction between another member and thought an issue was settled but later learned how incredibly wrong I was to trust said individual. While he was interacting in a respected manner, he was stabbing me in the back at the same time. While I'll take a level of blame, in the end it's what is in the best interest of HNI that is now my priority even if I stepped away from that. For every negative comment, slander, attack that is made I get 3 thank you's. The good outweigh the bads, always will.

For those of you who deserve my apologies, again I say I'm sorry. There are others however I could care less about as they've stated quite clear, it is what it is.


As for a mod, name calling. I didn't call anyone a name. If I said, so and so is a child, that would name calling. If I said you are a child, that would be name calling. Telling Germ to ingore the children only projects that the circumstance exists and if someone is offended by such then said person projects the name onto themselves.

Just like I or anyone else saying there are losers in every aspect of life. There are evil people looking to do nothing more than to cause chaos. In these two sentences I've called no one a name. Any indidual is more than welcome to project themselves into any catagory. Just like I can say there are great people in life as well. There are good people in life. There are fake people in life, and there are adults that act like children. Again, which place in life each person is can only be viewed inside ones own heart.

Anyway, there you have something to run off and pick apart and slander me with. Enjoy.

I know I've been condemned for things that I have no part of but in respect of my fellow mods, I'll take the blame if it takes the blame off them. It doesn't affect me either way. HNI will survive, there are some fantastic members here who get it. I spoke with Todd Graf on the phone yesterday when I called him on behalf of his teammates. I'm really excited about the future of HNI. I hope everyone enjoys their continued stay into the future. Great things are coming out way. Peace.

ps, I didn't move this post for one reason, I'm not about that as I once was. I ruled with an iron fist while on my "vacation" and it was wrong, it was black and white here for a while. I want to apologize for that too. We are a more tolerant bunch as long as forum rules are followed. I will move posts I think are better in another forum with a notfication to the author for the reason. The way it should be done, again another apology given.
