<<It must be rough getting off the short bus and having the kids stare at you.

We have had 64 members join since July 6th for a total of 72. We have had 557 articles and have the current record for members on is 16. Not bad considering it is only a silent open since the 6th.

akafocus,
I joined your site a few days ago. I couldn't care less about you pimping your site here or anywhere. Plus I was okay with your arrogance to others (maybe some deserved and some not). But I'll draw the line here with this statement. "It must be rough getting off the short bus and having the kids stare at you." In my book I do not like it, it may be a sad true statement for some less Focused kids. But I do not care to see statements like this coming from a person running a site I'm connected with, that may have a lot of kids in it or not. For me it's not funny trying to make a joke or trying to being funny at others expense. At CE I have butted heads with Auto, not seeing things eye-eye and he would always reply in his own way. But he has always allowed me to say my piece and he never got under my skin like your statement did. So please deactivate my membership at your site, as soon as you get time or is there a away I can do it?

Thanks, Mike

Sweet card and good choice. I totally agree with everything you said.

Sorry for that comment. I see your point. I will edit it. I do wish you did not feel you had to contact me this way.

I am more then available via email/pm/IM. I will delete your account when you email the request to me.

Me and akafocus have been butting heads the last few days, and I've tried to make my peace with him and ignore him, but I was a little put off by that too. I learned the hard way how those kind of insults hurt, from my little brother in my fraternity, whose (biological) little brother was challenged like that. I of course learned by being a jerk and making some comment about retards.

akafocus · July 19, 2002 3:42AM

I am sorry and apologize for that thoughtless remark. I too know people that have that to deal with. I did not mean to insult them and have retracted my statement.

Mikefromchester · July 19, 2002 12:11PM

hitechkoolaid, Thanks for agreeing with me and which card do you think I should keep in my signature the Dan or the Michael?

uwftke26, Thanks for the trade we made you was one of my first here at CU.

akafocus, Thanks for apologizing for your thoughtless remark. And you are right I should have done this in private, but I didn't. Every time I see something like your statement on here or anywhere it is very disappointing to me especially from someone with all that background you have. So I figured since you did make the thoughtless remark, I'd do it this way and maybe someone other then you could learn a lesson from this. I hope you see where I was coming from and I hope there are no hard feelings. Good luck with your site.

Thanks, Mike

Who did you make remarks like that to? Thats pretty sad to say to anyone....

uwftke26 · July 19, 2002 12:25PM

To me, of course.

akafocus · July 19, 2002 6:18PM

Gentlemen, I am big enough to offer an apology when I am wrong. Are you big enough to accept an apology? I was politically incorrect. Who has not ever been at one time or another?

I made the comment to a member here who insults others at will. I allowed his personal attacks to cloud my judgement. He regularly insults me, my websites, members of my website as if we have done something wrong. He is joined by others from the same website he is associated with. They try to surpress others websites as if they are the only one. They have done this before to other sites and I am sure they will do it again.

It does not stop people from joining other sites. It does quite the opposite...

Even though the Jordan is worth more, I like Marino's auto/jersey much better. I am working on getting an spx record breaker auto from a friend.

Mikefromchester · July 20, 2002 12:19AM

AiRjOrDaN22,
It was akafocus making it at uwftke26 and I agree.

akafocus ,
I do accept you apology , I do not see where it makes me a bigger man then I was yesterday. I'm a pretty big man, I do not need to be any bigger. On the politically incorrect thing, I cannot help you on, I'm not into politics, but I will tell you my maker has never been politically incorrect and never will be. Also it's a shame anyone will allow personal attacks to cloud ones judgment to make a thoughtless remark. Since this is your excuse, I sure hope you learned from it, or if anyone else reading this will see it's not good to let others dictate what comes out from you. I'm sorry the CE gang was able to push your buttons, but the way I see it it's just a couple of sites pimping each other out. Like I said before I have no problem with that. There are many massage boards out there and a lot have many members but they are just not active like CU is, I wonder why this is? Every since I became active here other sites for some reason bring there problem here to share with us or to cause new ones, I guess it's because CU is an open massage board, but it has to be more then just that, I think. Good Luck with your site.

hitechkoolaid,
Thanks for the input, I'm on the fence, I cannot decide which I like better. I'm leaning to my Marino card only cause I traded for it and the Jordan I had to buy. Let me know when you get that SPX record breaker auto from your friend, that's a nice one. If I can help you work it out on getting it faster let me know.

Thanks, Mike

I vote for the marino, since it's #13/13. Man that card is sweet!

memphis · July 20, 2002 2:53AM

Ok guys Ive taken all that I can take! I have read the posts and there seems to be a common misconception that all the moderators from CE gang up on others, this is not true. Please before you group everyone into one catagory make sure you have your facts correct. Because some voice their opinions a little stronger than others does not mean we are one big gang who beats up on anyone who disagrees. Akafocus yes you made a mistake but no worse than anyone else who uses the word RETARD. Just because these kids are challanged does not mean you people have the right to call them names. I know teachers and students and have to say that the love that these kids give is a unconditional love that will melt your heart. Please before you judge anyone ask yourself if you would like to be judged! I do recognize your apology and hope that it is sincere, and trust me when I say that not all the veiws of some are agreed with by all. I would also like to say that I do not like nor should I have to remind some that morals still exist.

Mike

akafocus · July 20, 2002 3:48AM

Aaaaaah, at last a voice of reason. Thanks memphis for replying in a civil and honorable fashion. Yes, I am sincere when I apologize. And I am sorry that I lumped the whole lot of you together. I simply did not have any other way of knowing because an honorable person had yet to appear to state any different.

It is one thing to state that one has morals and quite another to actually demonstrate them. I have yet to hear any apology from CE or its moderators for bashing me and posting negative comments in my threads or even outright calling me out in a dedicated thread. This sort of behavior is not honorable and needs to be addressed. Should any of my friends or team do such a thing they would be hearing from me. Thanks again memphis for your reply...
