Something That Should Never Happen On The Forum!!

It is Tadd with 2 Ds. Not to be confused with the cuemaker.

Actually I believe his name is Mark Tademy.

Sad to report that I posted the following earlier.

I also feel terrible for BVal, an esteemed and valued member of our AZB family. The thread was shocking. No such thread should ever be allowed here on our forum. To BVal and his lady, my condolences on this disgraceful occasion.

Nonetheless, I feel that, at the risk of offending BVal and others, it needs to be pointed out that BVal himself made his lady's body an issue here on the forum. I recall one of his avatar's in which (while embracing him) she appeared to be nude in which his AZB caption was, if memory serves, "only appears to be naked." BVAL's choice to include sexually provocative glimpses of his lady in his avatar was not, on the surface, unreasonable, but AZB history has shown that such an approach may lead to tasteless, sometimes even disgusting, reactions from other posters. Sad, but true.

BVal replied as follows, and I feared that I'd had a lapse in memory, one that I deeply regret.

That absolutley was not and never would be something that I do. I think you have me mixed up with somebody else. I have only had two avatars on here and neither of them showed anything close to being nude or naked. I respect my wife too much to do something like that. For the small percentage of people out there that cannot handle themselves in public and control their mouth I am changing my avatar.BVal

Here, and thankfully, Axejunkie sets the record straight. Thanks, Axejunkie. The sexually provocative avatar I had referred to belonged to StraightPoolIU and not BVal.

I think you're thinking of straightpoolIU's avatar.

Bottom line here is that I screwed up on this occasion. BVal, forgive me. I am embarrassed by this mistake, and hope I haven't compounded the pain of a poster I have deep respect and high regard for.

Hi SJM,

You have absolutely not offended me at all. In my response to you I did not mean it to sound negative or anything like that - just factual but after reading it - it has kind of a defensive tone. I knew that you were not talking about me and therefore didn't give it a second thought after that. Everybody makes mistakes - no matter who you are. No worries. I enjoy your posts. Keep em coming.

BVal...Thanks for at least trying to get that guy to take responsibility. I'm sorry that he responded to you the way he did, especially since you were only sticking up for me. The truth is you should able to post you and your lovely wife's photo as your avatar, with no expectations of this kind of behavior. My friend, Captain Hook has long posted rotating photos of his lovely wife & friends, and nobody has made those kinds of crass comments. I, for one, enjoyed your former avatar...with respect! I never tire of looking at pictures of attractive women...and I'm fortunate to have one of my own at home!
