Dick.. I was with my dad every time he was on the forums, and he explained all about it during and afterwords. Also, I know mr.3cushion isn't liked by everyone, nobody is, that's life, we all have our own personal knockers.For example, my own sister hates me for some reason, and wont even accept my friends request on FB, and wont tell me why. She wont even accept my help with the website, and i was the original creator ( only because my dad didn't know web design), but as my father's son, i felt it was my duty to help him anyway i could. However, mr.3cushion has known me almost as long as iv'e been alive, and i'm in my 40's. I admit, i don't know if he really said, or what you say he said to my dad, but i was not there at the time, so i admit my ignorance in this matter, but keep in mind, you two were not on the best of terms. They had their "spats", like any lifelong friendship, but when it came down to it, they both would always' make amends, and things would be back to normal.
Very few people have been there for me since my dad died... Billy was one of those people, and still is. If there was only one thing i knew about my dad, it was that he would never take action based on someone else's opinion. So, what i'm trying to say is , anything my dad would have felt or posted or simply put....( acted upon), was always' of his own opinion, and what he felt in his heart. He had great perspicacity, especially when it came to people, and would never say, or post something that he did not truly believe in.. Let me make it clear that i'm not judging you in this matter in anyway, it happens to be one of the topics/stories of which i know little about. All i'm trying to do is let you know more about my dad's character. He rarely accepted my opinions, (and i was his only son, and true protoge), not just in pool, but in life, and that's how a father/son relationship should be. He certainly would never accept anyone else's, and then use it to take action!. My dad told me many times, (only a sucker beef's) and to always' take full responsibility for your OWN actions. It just sounds like you are trying to find someone to blame for some of your actions, which is why i'm attempting to impart to you the true nature that is my father. I sincerely hope you understand some thing's you were not aware of about him. Even if Billy did tell my father those thing's, don't forget, you two were not on the best of terms, and i could be wrong, but after knowing a loyal friend to my father most of my life (including my childhood), i find it hard to believe he would completely fabricate a story about your deed's, or anyone's ( again i don't know for sure). What i do know for sure, is that any roomers regarding my father and Billy, whether they are true or false, (and on that subject, i happen to be quite privy to) were straightened out a long time ago.
I hope this reply helps you understand my father a little better, i truly do! By the way, Artie is a guy that can't be convinced to do or accept anything that he didn't want to, just like my dad, both stubborn as mule's! p.s, i appreciate the best wishes! sincerely, Dino Frederick Bentivegna.
