Only 2 SP posters really possessed the ability to consistently rattle my cage. One was definitely Roy Dillard. I stopped letting him rattle me by simply not responding to his posts. However, the more you read his ramblings the more you understood that he was just an avid fan who was doing what he could to keep the opposition stirred up. The other one you all know is Old Pirate. We've had more than one public feud and a few private ones before he let his Plus Membership expire. In the end, OP too was just doing what he could to shake up his kinfolk up next to the courthouse. I'm stating now that I am willing to burry the hatchet with both of these guys and move on..
Tonight, I am following the lead of Roy Dillard and MCRoadWarrior and I am leaving CoachT for a while. After I submit this post, I will ask CoachT to remove my Mod status. The events of the past 3 or 4 weeks have worn on me emotionally. I am still trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened. What eats at me most is that I let my emotions get the best of me and acting on inaccurate and/or incomplete information, I proceeded to make a fool of myself on this site. In the end, I did the only thing that I could do, which is to admit that I was wrong and apologize for my actions. Still, I am ashamed that, as one who constantly tells my players not to let raw emotions affect what they do, I was unable to follow my own teachings... I'm human and as such am not perfect.
Roy and OP... If either of you would like to meet and personally burry the hatchet, I would be glad to do so. That goes for any poster on the T... I've never really hidden who I am so it's not hard to find me.
Guys and Gals, it's been a fun for many years. Good luck to the Pirates tomorrow... I hope to get to see this Gold Ball in that trophy case when we come to The Pitt in January... Goodnite.
