Why bother? The subject of Tim has been beat to death on this forum, and we all know what kind of person it takes to pull what he did. Even if he sticks around, it's not like he will be posting and going on as if nothing ever happened. I know how this place is, and the way vendettas and grudges seem to go on forever, it's not like he will ever have anything but misery from some of you guys if he stays on here.
In life, sometimes we mess up, make mistakes, or use bad judgement. That is what erinstubby(Tim) clearly done. There is no excuse for it. But, I have to forgive him, or I can't be forgiven, so that is what I have decided to do. By holding hatred or vendettas, it only tears you up inside, not the person you are feeling the hatred towards.
I'm surprised the voting is as close as it is, frankly..

What's tough is 1. Im drunk. 2. Tim didnt solicit money, we just jumped at the chance to help, and 3. Erin/Tim, didnt say a damn word to squash the fundrasing effort. 4. Im drunk,. 5. it seemed like a good thing to do

Forgiveness does not preclude either punishment or retribution.
I favor both forgiveness and vengeful wrath, in cases of severe wrongdoing.
Many - not all - folks who think that "hatred and vendettas" are self-destructive have never known the exquisite joy of cold revenge. It's tastier than a box full of 52-Mantles, and is often actually the only relief from being "torn up inside."
I am also a big fan of multiple second-chances, though Tim's case makes that option useless; he does not want anything to do with the folks here, and most here feel the same about Tim.
Tim's crimes do not rise to a level deserving super-harsh punishment, but since he has shown to be willing to put others here at risk of loss, he would be 86d if this was my board.

<< <i>I just found Tim's obituary when I googled his name. See the photo that came up.
Haha, maybe he really is dead.
<< <i>I think many of us would like to see him come back to do some splainin. >>
I agree with you, I am just unsure if he will ever talk.

Hard to talk when you are dead.

I agree, me and humility are old friends. I'd like to hear the things that may tough for Tim to say.

Lets keep it simple and straight. He may have let it go on and that in and of itself is bad.
I think we should all in the spirit of Christmas let this go and move on.

But it looked like he knew $5500 was coming at any moment and didn't try to stop our wonderful mass effort here to help out his grieving family!
Tim, if you read this, hope you change for the better in 2009? Because right now, you (and the Mrs.) really SUCK!
And if you are really sick, Tim, get well soon.
