HWLaser23 on the Bus...Noted!!

Tish, nobody should have been more concerned then Grads about meeting everyone. He holds the world record for pissing people off on the internet (followed closely by GN7. LOL). I wouldn't worry about anyone starting shit with you at the Boat Show. But what do I know...I am Switzerland like McRib!!

X2.. Switzerland

Yeah.....Me too

[Tishimself]

Yeah.....Me too

Lets just say that before there was GRADS, there was me. I thought that time would make it all go away, that hey, we're all adults here, we move on right? Wrong. I was shocked at the treatment by some of the posters on the other site, and surprised at the out and out hatred and anger thrown my way five years after getting banned. But no one, and I mean NO ONE, was more of a douchebag to me, did more to hurt my reputation, than the owner of the site. The things he said, the shit he texted to me, along with his posse...were enough. You think you know someone, you don't. Trust me. I'll stay away. I understand what everyone has said, but at this point, I don't trust any of them. Too much water I guess....


There was a thread about me asking what had happened to me about a week or so ago, seems the non posse types liked me and my posts, and the owner came in and instead of saying something mature, he took it right to douchebag land and basically shut the conversation down. Was That Guy had the final post, and it was about right. I said it once, I'll say it again. I take it as a point of pride that I am not like them. That people like them don't like me. I don't want to be like them, though I admit at one point I did....my bad.

Not trying to start anything, or take any shots, it is what it is, but the things (vibes) I get are real to me, and I guess that that is enough. Right?

I understand. If you don't feel comfortable, no sense in going. Don't worry though, we'll post up all sorts of pictures and stuff. You won't miss much.

...Ok who am I kidding, yes you will. But we'll do our best to bring it to you

Thanks...I wish that we could have caught the boat parade night....maybe we could do more stuff like that?? Do HB only get togethers? They seem to be very popular here on the site amongst us...

That was definitely fun. We'll put something together pre-summer somewhere. I'm also working on something for desert storm.

Just curious. I am on both sites and I know of your problems with RDP. But if I seen you in a beer line I would have no clue who you were unless you told me your screen name. And then I would have bought you a beer. I have made many enemies on both sites thru the internet with my union and political stances. But I have also meet over 100 members from both sites and not one has gave me shit over it in person. Man up and go to the boat show.

I see what your saying, maybe next year when the blood has cooled a bit....this year, not happening. Even if I wanted to, I cant. Amtrak has me for the week. No getting out of that. It worked out for the best...

Well I'm sorry folks but it looks like Mrs. Daytona and I are not coming to the boat show. We made the tough decision this morning. Originally when we planned on going it seemed like there was going to be a big after party...we kind of assumed it would be like the HotBoat cruise part II but as the show got closer there really weren't any plans and some of the people we were looking forward to seeing dropped out (WMC, Wendi, TisHimself, Unforgiven, RT99, etc). We were also really looking forward to going to the boat show and seeing the HotBoat booth but we couldn't justify spending the $2,000+ that it was going to cost us for this trip for that sole reason. We are buying an Eliminator Daytona and Eliminator not being at the show was also a deciding factor. If it was a couple hours driving distance this wouldn't even be a question....we would be there but it is 7 hours one way. I'm sorry and we are bummed.
