I wish this foolishness would just cease. However - to be fair - to people who are unfamiliar with DJL - the comment seems fine. I can see this. The other half of people are so sensitive to DJL comments because they know how many petty jabs he's taken at certain people - and thus - they believe they know the tone of his question, and its not of curiosity but of spite.
In all fairness - everyone needs to drop it. Only DJL knows what he actually meant regardless of his trash strewn in the past. The slashing and burning of his already tarnished personna doesnt cure anything
 
OK - I would like to donate X dollars to the Whatever foundation to commemorate our departed friend.

Not OK - I would like to tell the grieving family and friends to donate their money because I think it would help me make a point I started on an acrimonious BBS thread a while back.
 
DJL,

In light of your past responses and comments towards Alan Hyatt, do you really expect people to believe you this time?

In light of the subject matter of that thread I started, your comment WAS out of line...........there can be no arguing that, regardless of how you try and squirm your way out of it.


Tom18222,

Please butt out of something you know nothing about.


:cool:

If you had a shred of credibility, this might fly.

But you pissed that away months ago.

Your agenda is as clear as crystal.

But this time you went WAY past the limits.

Say what you want about your intentions, but realize that very few people believe you any more.
 
The "what did I do wrong?" may be genuine, or it may be a rather transparent act... as someone else said earlier, no one is really in a position to judge except for DJL himself.

What is not in question is that with the exception of one other person, everyone else found the remark to be offensive and in remarkably poor taste. .

Speaking generally, (and not specifically about DJL), it is a sign of maturity as well as class to be able to gracefully apologize when one causes offense. Among other things, it engenders respect from the community. The irony is that the immature individual is typically so insecure that they can't bring themselves to publicly admit they are wrong because they feel they will lose face in the process. When one learns the lesson that admission of fallibility actually increases respect, then one has gone a long way towards growing up.

Speaking to DJL, whether you think your statement was appropriate or not is no longer the issue. But it is not too late to show some grace and class. The choice is yours. But I would point out that using someone's death to promote one's own personal agendas is generally considered pretty low. Even if that was not your intention, you're smart enough to know that given your history your words would be naturally interpreted that way. So if you had any respect for Stephen Paul, which you've never given any indication that you do, you could have restrained yourself, or at the very least, waited until the body was cold.

Wow, well said. You're a class act, LD.:)
 
Jeez smallhound, after reading the "I did nothing wrong" comment from DJL I was just on my way to the end of the thread to say pretty much what you just said. I doubt I would have said it as well, however.

DJL, I presume you're shadowing this thread, your intentions can't be discerned from what you've written, and once you hit the Enter button it's there for all to see and can't be brought back.

I don't necessarily think that the original question, IN ITSELF, is so bad, but the timing is wholly inappropriate. It's more than a bit insensitive to crash a post where people are mourning a loss in that manner. Maybe once the foundation that AH mentions is set up would be a better time to ask.

But just posting comments like "I did nothing wrong" in defence simply makes littledog's point.

We've all done "nothing wrong" at times and ended up upsetting, hurting or insulting other people... the road to redemption is via apology for the comments, in the full realisation that they, at the time, were inappropriate.

Be a man.

Peace.
 
Hiya Armi,

As Alan Hyatt stated somewhere, once established, all financial records for the foundation are available for public scrutiny, so the question which caused this was never necessary.

Stephen Paul Microphones, which I presume is a private (not public floated), business, shouldn't have to account to anyone outside the business, especially considering the current circumstances and the fact that the first product hasn't hit the streets yet.

Whichever way you look at it, that inconsequential little pisssant was just trying to have another cheap shot.

:cool:
 
Fighting over the internet is like the special olympics, even if you win you're still a retard.
 
And with that comment, tom shows us what he is really made of.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Tom you have descended to the ranks of blithering idiot.
I work and live with people who have developmental disabilities and comments like yours are not welcome in this century or on this planet. Not to be overly politically correct, but if you just can't slam people without degenerating to the term "retard" then just shut up. It is not like anyone will miss your comments anyway.
I will pray for you brother
In hIs Name

Nice try, but you should say: I was wrong doing that, it was offending to many of you and I apologize for that.

Then we will respect you for that and have a fresh start.
 
You won't respect him after that. Unfortunately having the apology pressed on him, it doesn't really make it look genuine if he does now does it?
 
Regarding DJL, I was almost willing to accept his apology, but after reading his latest thread; "Alan, No Stephen Paul Mic", where DJL made several false statements, I changed my mind.

The intent of his words, and hidden agenda are clearly defined based on his actions regarding me over the last 4 or 5 months that I have not posted in HR. The total lack of class and disrespect he showed at a time where only well wishes was in order, are despicable IMHO.

I will not trash him, or call him names, and what is a shame, is this was an opportunity to bury the hatchet sort of speak, and he wasted that as well. All he had to do was offer his condolences and say, Let's put the past in the past...

In closing, I know I have not been the perfect poster. I had to learn the process of how postings are done, and admit when I first came here, I was way out there, but that changed over time. I have always been, and will always be very passionate about what I do, and why I do it. If I have offended anyone along the way, I am sorry.
