Hey Mr. Wilson!

Okay,,,I have met both Timberly and Purdman in real life..and to be honest both of you are really nice people. I have seen the tension between you two grow and have seen uy take pot shots at each other. I saw the post about Derby City by purdman and this last post by Timberly pointing out some post of purdman nipping at mr. Wilson...although purdman never said that he has never barked at Mr Wilson he only posted that it is a hard job to be a regulator.

I think its just a shame to see two people i consider to be decent souls nip at each other. My grandmother used to have a saying that i use to today..."Be careful who you point your finger at, cause u got three fingers pointing back at yourself"

I hope u two work things out thru pm or mutualy agree that you are like "water and oil" and dont mix, and dont look for opportunities to nip at the other...just my 2 cents ..like i said you both are really cool people.

Well said, I respect your opinion, but respectfully have to disagree.

Mr. Wilson, IMO, was dared. He warned and warned. He then offered an option.

The decision was made with full knowledge of the consequences. He was given a choice and should live with his decision, just as Mr. Wison has to live with his.

I feel it isn't fair to ask Mr. Wison to compromise his already very difficult decision. There comes a point where the madness has to stop.

I've never met Dave Wilson, but I would wager that he has lost his sleep over this too. That is one of the reasons he is in this position, I would furtherly wager.

To get to my point, I feel this is a battle he can't lose. But then again, nobody wins.


HEY IRONMAN.....I couldnt agree more with you.:) I think maybe my post seemed to say something that I didnt mean to.....I dont express myself so well in the written word :D :D My idea was in support of Mr Wilson, as He could show that he still cares ( which I VERY MUCH believe he does, or he would just quit ) and put all the burden on Jimbo. One of the things I have learned the hard way in Pastoring , is most times my ideas for a church are usually met with resistance, but if I make my idea someone elses before I bring it forth , it then has very little problems being implemented :rolleyes: I dont credit for it,( but if credit is what you are looking for , then Pastoring is the wrong place to look :D :D :D)

....But all in all I agree with you, and can appreciate the way you stated it. ;) :D

HAVE A GOOD NEW YEAR IRONMAN

Someone should find Purdman an appropriate avatar for his fish flop stance on issues. "shown more heart than anyone". That is another quote that just sticks out at me. How has Purdman shown more heart?

Well IMHO I think Purdman has went through some changes in the last few months in the way he handles himself. If I am not mistaken he apologized for some things a while back and has chosen to to represent himself in a different manner.....SOOOO that could be why he seems like he has flip flopped, because he has, but not in a Hypocratic way. He simply has changed his way of posting....and again I may be totally off or confusing him with someone else :) :)

But that is the way it looks to me. :) :)

Your jobs are very similar in nature and often unappreciated. We are lucky to have people like the both of you.
Thanks and you have a good New Year as well, Pastor.

I never had a problem with him until he made the post that I call a "sucker punch". I also did not mention or even come close to referencing him since that thread but as you can see, he brings it up.

I'm not a psychiatrist so I'll refrain from saying what I think is going on. I can however, point out his own words and actions.

Purdman joined about a yr before I did and during that time we always got along just fine. There was friendly interaction between us in the US Open forum, both before and AFTER the US Open.

Oct 6th (after the US open)

Wife told me she understands my passion now. Told me I could go anywhere I want to. I told her the same thing. Went out to dinner last night and had a nice Bison rib eye and the best bottle of wine in the joint. You can guess where that led to!

Dec 20th, just five days after our last interaction that's quoted above, he makes the following post...

Actually it is because you folks allowed her to be involved in the first place. Her true colors come out when there is a poolplayers azz to kiss or she has some power. To tell you the truth, I have seen her at work and it is sickening. I was going to go to the DCC this year, however, not with her running anything. I wouldn't go if Timberly was handing out towels in the mens room. I know this ain't gonna make me very popular with those who's azz she is constantly kissing. I just can't take it anymore. If you don't want to do it, don't volunteer for it!! Just stop bit@hing about it.

Purdman said:
You were thanked for the pic gal, however, you never said thanks for the $200 ticket you were provided (so you could post results) nor did you have a word to say to me until John won. My only problem is this, if you are going to volenteer for something, just do it and stop complaining. You act like the whole DCC is run around you. I hope you have a great holiday.

There are posts in the US Open section & I have PM's to prove otherwise.

From the time that I joined and up to Dec 15th, things were fine between us. Somewhere between Dec 15th & Dec 20th, he decided he didn't like me. We had no interaction with each other during that time. I can appreciate and understand if I do something to someone and they do not like me. What I can't understand is how someone just out of the blue decides they don't like me and when asked why, no valid or truthful reason is given.

To each his own. I would rather just go our separate ways and act as if we don't know each other and never met... strangers that don't speak to or about each other.

Like most on here, I'm sick of the drama... all of it. This ridiculous BS with Purdman, the whole Wilson thing, and being vilified for my efforts with the DCC room. I've already scaled back posting and will continue to scale it back even more. I'm here through Derby simply because of my involvement with the private room. After that, there will be one less "narcissistic wanna be groupie" around here.

Happy freaking new yr everyone.

Pastor, maybe you could say a prayer for Purdman so he can walk a straight line & find the correct path.

You say Purdman has changed the way he handles himself but if you read the post from Timberly above, it seems like he has flip flopped the other way towards her in a negative light. It is sooo confusing. Pastor a prayer for help if you have the time.

Have a good New Year Brickman.
 
Agreed

Brickman I concur completely. Mr. Purdy does seem to have turned a new page. Many do remember the issues with Mr. Bludworth and with Mr. Wilson and perhaps others. Many of these issues are now apparently resolved amicably and to the credit of all involved. My hat is off to them, changing is never easy and he for one has done so in a positive way! If some other posters could do the same things would be much more civil here on AZ...

You didn't upset me, and I appreciate your kind words. I just wanted to point out how this "issue" is nothing that I started, nor asked for and while some might not think he flip flops, I think his actions prove that he does. IMO, someone who claims to be such a great, charitable, turned around person, he sure as heck didn't show me any niceties. LOL, if I had been rude, mean, or anything to him, his flip flop actions against me might make sense. I've got my idea's but I've also got a little more class about me and I won't voice those idea's here on the forum but I will say that they have nothing to do with me... I haven't done anything.

A safe & Happy New Year to you too. I'll see you in Richmond this summer. ;)
 
Heres the problem. You have 3 types of posters that everyone can fit into.
1. A poster that looks at these forums as fun and entertaining and once they turn off the comp. its water under the bridge. Mostly these are the posters that can come off being an a****** sometimes because they are just having fun and if they met you in person they would laugh about it as it "was just an internet forum" and buy you beer.
2. A poster that takes these forums seriously and represent their real life personna with their post. These posters get upset on here and they're still upset once they turn off the comp. because to them this is just as real as talking to you in person.
3. An a****** PERIOD! In person or on here they are just an a******.
Conclusion: Poster 1 and poster 2 will NEVER see eye to eye on here even though they might be equally good fellas. I myself fall into poster type 2 99% of the time ON HERE although on different forums I have posted stuff just to have fun and eventually got the ban being poster type 1.

Mr. Wilson is a poster type 2. So if you are a 1 you need to compansate and start being more yourself before you get the boot as well. No biggie.

No ma'am. He's a really big dude that you wouldn't want to piss off. If he were mean, he'd be dangerous. Luckily, he's a nice guy. ;)

Intriguing post...:)

A fourth type which is often at ground zero of "hubbub" can be a type 1,2 or 3 or any combination thereof whose primary agenda is to market a product or service. People can be very sensitive (to the point if being unreasonable ) when a dollar is at stake and their hyperbole is questioned. I've seen numerous conflagrations erupt in this scenario.:(

Keep up the good work. You must remember that you will never be able to make everybody happy. So be it. I think you are doing a wonderful thankless job. Being popular does not grant anyone special privileges.

Heheheh...me the dentist..ha..I couldnt stand to look in people's mouths all day. But the dentist is a cool guy..and a pretty damn sporty shooter..As for me i havent made my mark in Richmond as big as i want to just yet..right now when people see me they say "That guy can play" or "That's the guy Berrnie Kirby's working with" i havent reached the level I want to just yet..Right now i can only practice one night a week , which is the reason why my game is where it is..i used to practice 6 days a week 5 hours a day years ago..but when i move into a house and set my table up..watch out Richmond.hehehe

I hadnt seen the above posts, as I cant get to all the post I was just speaking of something I had seen in his posts a while back.

Timberly I hope you dont think I was taking up for Purdman over you as that wasnt the case, either way ( between the two of you ) I hadnt seen all the posts you put up there and had no Idea of the things between you and him really, I was more or less tossing out a Possibility.

NOW TIMBERLY as for the not posting so much, dont do tha,t as I for one enjoy your posts, and you go out of your way to help people, I know you did for me once when I first started here....I was needing an answer and you searched and found me the info and PMd me the link ( it was also my first PM ) SO dont take away from this board by not posting.....You have been around for awhile and I imagine you have overcome alot more than what is happening now.....so give it a few days and then come back refreshed and ready to
"cut loose" :D

I enjoy alot of different posters here for alot of different reasons and You are one of them :)

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Quedup I agree with you 100%.....Not to say we cant get mad and and all that, but the limit has to be there and then when things can , it should always get resolved IMHO. Even if it means sometimes swallowing a lil pride and being the bigger person and JUST letting things go, to save a friendship :) :)

Timberly,

I haven't been on this forum for quite a while. When I stopped coming here, you and Don seemed to be friendly towards one another. I'm sorry to hear all this!

Whether you participate in this forum or not is not the issue, the issue really is, would you want to participate if Don was not giving you a hard time? If the answer to that is yes then you should stay. Don't let someone run you out of here. If you want to leave just because you need a break, then by all means take off. Of course you will do what you will but this is just a suggestion from me. My recollection of you as a poster is a very positive recollection. I'm sure this board would suffer your departure.

Take care, Rickw
