John, really.
If 15 years ago on RSB I said, "CTE is ca-ca and everyone who believes in it wears tin foil hats and think they can bend spoons with their minds" what does it matter today, 15 years later? As I told you after the match, I would not say things today I said 10, 15 years ago. I would like to think I have become older and hopefully a little bit wiser.
After the match I pointed out to you how I had, by-and-large, abandoned the Aiming Forum -- not because I was told to stay away, I was not -- but because I'm a little bit wiser now.
I also told you that months ago I had been sent a copy of Stan's 2nd DVD and had people *begging me* to review it, as I did his first DVD, and I have not. I would like to think I am a little bit wiser now.
Thorough out the last five months I did not bark back at you, through all the insults ("louser," "fluffier corporation,") the taunts ("Lou won't show," "Lou has no heart") and the lies ("I will take all side bets and stack it at the event"). I would like to think I'm a little wiser now.
And now, after the match, I have struggled to keep it all classy and to give you your due because, I would like to think I am a little wiser now.
But you still want to argue about things long in the past and use them to justify your actions, words, and feelings in the here and now. John, I don't know about you, but I have learned much in recent years. Our match has taught me things about myself and I have taken many good things away from that experience. What has happened in the past is gone or I have let it go. It's too bad you appear to not be able to do the same.
