RWG1: special apology to my friends

[JohnG]

Guys, I am really sorry. Most of all to Trailboss, but to all of you as well.

I have always been a prankster, but yesterday I let one go too far. I set up fake id's on Klink's new site. It went to far and resulted in him shutting down his site.

I am ashamed and I have posted threads in all the forums in General Discussion. I expect I will be banned soon. So it was great knowing you guys and I hope you know that I am not all bad. I will miss you all. I mean it.

I did a bad thing - I thought it was funny but I think it really hurt Klink.

Greg and the other guys, please don't give up on the RWG1... Alpha and Greg can get it going.

Greg I am pm'ing you the info I have for JB.

Later guys.

Damn - John, I hope it doesn't come to that. From some of the stuff I've heard about goings on there, one suspects that you were the least of the problems...

Hope it works out, mate.

[JohnG]

I want to add that I mentioned Trailboss specifically because he pm'd me about the site and I feinged ignorance about what was going on. That is tantamount to lying to him.

I am sorry brother. You have a good heart and deserved better.

Oke John, if it is you, you made your confession, your intend is clear now, Phil wil know what happened and accept your appologies. You will be banned for life on his forum and that is it. It takes a man to tell what happened. No worries mate.

I apologize to you too my friend. I never told you last night what my interest in the forum was.

[Graman]

Ok, I'm waaaay out of touch here.

Klink has a site? (ok had)

You've been naughty....ok...I can deal with that.

Mate..you made your apologies.

Hopefully you didn't take it too far, and a sincere apology will suffice.

[onzenuub]

I apologize to you too my friend. I never told you last night what my interest in the forum was.

Oke John, no worries, it is the risk of starting a new forum that the loonatics will come out of the bin. If you start a new forum you know it and you will and shall have to deal with it. You made your apoligies, they are accepted and we can go on as usual.

[Dave123]

No worries John,let the chips fall as they may,Klink has hurt more people than you have,thats for sure,and never an apology from him.

[Graman]

Well, there you go.

You've also offered Col an apology..........shows true remorse and dare I say, sensitivity to your mate.

Now....pick up, dust off, press on....

And don't do it again!

Mate I still don't know whayt to say. What hurts me the most is talking Klink out of banning the lot of them. I didn't feel it was right (or looked right) to ban most of the rep worlds senior mods in one fell swoop. Also, you killed a Forum.

I can forgive ya bro but I suspect there's a lot who won't be able to.

PM me your email again before they bann your ass. : ) :

Col.

By the way,Klink was on to John yesterday,posted that he linked 'fakemaster' to Johns IP....that post disappeared i believe,i seen it though,and instead of saying it was John who was doing this,he took it as an opportunity to suggest it was Pugwash,never mentioned John again.

[Demsey]

Ok, I'm waaaay out of touch here.

Klink has a site?

Mega dittos. I am out of touch with regard. Finally.

I think he just didn't know who I was and thought it must be one of his old "enemies".

[Demsey]

OK I just absorbed the entire "Cybee" and "Ghost" threads. John, you need a job. And no, hand building your own house does not count. I dunno, maybe something in jurisprudence? There has to be some underworld character somewhere in need of a talented soliciter who knows better, but will still bend ethics to meet ends?

Oh well, one good thing came of it:

Am I the only one who feels sorry for him [sic] Klink?

I really do.

I wish no harm to Klink or even to his website. I hope he gets well soon. And if he wants to use my articles there, I have no problem with it. I don't claim any copyrights over my reviews of illegal counterfeit items anyway.

No harm done (imho), unless his site starts to scam people or phish their personal information.

PS: I have never requested Klink "to take my stuff down". I don't know where this came from... I simply don't care. I have bigger things to worry about.

confirms my supposition that 'By-Tor' is probably without parallel; the only truely, wholly altruistic member of any of these communities. I had been in contact with him since '05 when he, as a noob, came across my 16613 review and was looking for the same piece. Since those first PM's I have watched him surpass, exponentially, the accolades he laid on me for my time and attention to him then and the hobby as it stood in '05, when I too 'cared'. In all that time I could never, even with a scanning electron microscope; wiff a trace of any personal agenda other than 'paying back with gratitude'.

Which is cool. Thanks for that much John.

[AllergyDoc]

John, you need a job.

Indeed.

Some other things need a little work, too, friend. Some time ago, shortly after you set up camp for us here in the Bin, I was reading a thread when suddenly I see the back end of naked tranny. Disgusting doesn't say enough. You shouldn't have those pics on your C: drive nor should you be on any sights where you can link to them.

Banned for pulling one over on Klink? I doubt it. He's not exactly a rock star on the boards. Keep a low profile. Keep your nose clean. In a few weeks everyone will forget about it and you can crank up your post count again (unless you're busy at work).

Doc, that wasn't off my drive. And I wasn't surfing sites like that - I searched the term "ass licker" for something in that thread. Nothing interesting came up. So I removed the filtering on Google and that popped up. I hotlinked it in my post for shock value.

What I am getting at is that I haven't been surfing porn (and that is not my thing anyway). I have been clean for 67 days now. With that at least, I am doing well. But yes, there are lots of things that need work, clearly.

Glad to hear it. Much more important than watch fora drivel.

Saw your post at RWI. They seem pretty [censored] there.

As they should be. They banned me and that was the right action.

[swissaddict]

JohnG, I want to address you directly....... you're a good guy struggling with some issues that you're well aware of. I like you a lot, and I respect the humble and honest manner in which you confessed. I feel a lot of compassion and empathy toward you, as I think you know. We all have our demons. You're not a bad person. You need support, and I hope you will get some of that outside of the forums -in person. Please get out of the house and do what you need to. And for the times that you can't do that, I know there are a bunch of guys on this and other online forums that care about you and support you. It's appropriate for you to feel bad about the pain that's resulted from your actions, don't dismiss that... but also don't dwell on it and expand to believing deeper negative things about yourself.

Your internet bud,

SA

Here you go John, you didn't lose any friends, you won friends.

SA, well said. My feelings exactly.

[Demsey]

True. True. Or, as my Master Sergeant Dad would say;

"Stop doing sh*t you feel ashamed of, then you can stop feeling sorry for the consequences and yourself. Sometimes I wonder where it was those Gypsies found you and if your real parents miss you."

Which you may say; is kind of a cruel thing to say to a 7-10 year old, but it always made me laugh and offered a philosophy that I had the power my own self to be whom I wanted and was not a powerless victim of said same self. Yes cruel to a 7 year old, but perhaps more sad to the 42 year old?

Whatever.............onward indeed..........

[oscarmadfish]

[censored] knows whats gone on and i guess i dont wanna know

if you [censored] up on some other forum and they banned you well thats the price of the [censored] up

you have never done anything to me so you owe me no apology

i hope you dont get banned from here and as far as i am concerened you will be most welcome at any new place we set up

as far as i can see you do owe col an apology as he is RW1 refugee and we need to nevwer hurt our friends

i am a newbie and i do not even know who klink is

you have been honest and open and oscarmadfish classes you as an internet friend

that has not changed

[alphakazi]

John, you are a prankster.... big deal - you've given me many good laughs - nothing has even slightly changed in my book about you

I find it funny how so many exaggerate what you've done.. including yourself - it's clear you have went too far and have acknowledged this, fully admitted to it and apologized sincerely - DONE.

I find it sad that some could even relate Klinks unfortunate disease with your joke - not even related in the slightest - Klink has also expressed that he has no problem with you.

Stop beating yourself up - we are talking about replica watch forums here my friend - you didn't sell crack to school kids or bury your victim in your cement foundation

If RWG1 doesn't go back up - I'm sure well make our own Jungle forum and you can pull all the pranks you want.

the Internet on a whole is, for the most part, entertainment for me - it can become addicting and some can cross the line and make it their "reality" - it is these people that will take the greatest offense

Do you screw friends in real life? Steal from people you love? Maliciously try to hurt people? Many do - some go as far as killing people for no reason - just put what you did in perspective - most can't imagine the conditions the children that assemble our watches are put in to make a buck - we are all supporting this illegal business - I don't find doing this very wrong though and I find what you did ridiculously mild in comparison - Admin's banning you? PA-LEEZE

You've done more than enough in terms of apologizing - I don't want to you see you say your sorry one more time to anyone

it's business as usual... talking nonsense, posting t.its and a.ss, hijacking threads, posting useless crap and once in a while buying a fake watch

no more stressing over this buddy... <--(remember the girls are on the inside of our foursome - I don't want any g.ay s.hit)

[Luthier]

John, you did something bad - you realized it, you confessed, you apologized. Now leave it behind, and look into the future.

We love you, man.
