Mark,

Earlier this year when 204228 became inactive it was MY idea to invite you back here. I know there were some issues with you being asked to calm down on the posting of sports stuff. That WAS NOT my decision even though I supported the idea. A little of that is OK but this is NOT a sports board. The confusion over you coming to PB was also NOT my idea. Mark, you are the one who acted like you didn't understand how to set it up and you were all paranoid thinking someone wanted to trace you or ID you there even though you control what info is shared. Frankly, I think the moderator got tired of you whining over it and so he offered you and Brooks a way to stay in touch. None of that was my decision or idea. I DID NOT TELL YOU NOT TO COME TO PB NOR TO STOP POSTING HERE. Had you not made such a freakin' big deal over PB and had you not got so put out by being asked to calm down the sports reporting then there would have been no problem and you would be at PB and still here.

I DO NOT ADMINISTRATE OR MODERATE THIS BOARD OR PB. I DO NOT MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

So Coach Ben opened the new home for you guys and that was a good thing. A mutual friend of mine and yours got pulled in to the confusion and he was made to look bad and so he was contemplating leaving PB. He and I were discussing an issue totally unrelated to you and I had a response for him and went to your new board to ask him to check a message. That is all I wanted.

You attacked me and my character and you and Drew, Jake and Sean sent horrible messages to me there. You made comments about how I should be spanked and how I was un-Christian. That prompted Coach Ben to make a negative post about me and suggest he should beat me with a cane. Your attacks on me and animosity to me were unfounded and un-called for and not based in any fact. Dad had to get involved to get the stuff taken down.

I never tried to post there again because Ben made it clear to Dad that I was not welcome.

Perhaps you were still hurt over events here from over a year ago but we had resolved that I thought. Regardless, I was NOT the cause of your problems with coming back here or to PB.

I want to know why you attacked me so harshly.

So your new home shut down and you needed a way to get messages to everyone. WHERE DID YOU COME? Mark, despite all of the horrible stuff you all said, I am OK with you being here. You just need to understand that I am not your enemy.

It appears you have a new place now so I don't know what that means for you and here. I don't care if you stay here and occasionally say hi as I am sure I will be unwanted at your new home as well. I am sure the admin here will ask you to keep to certain guidelines.

I wanted to say that. None of the problems were my doing. I tried to help. You and your friends and Coach Ben attacked an innocent person.

So, welcome back. If you want to be here?

Hi PJ,

Good to hear from you. Thank you again for the "Welcome Back" and YES, I WANT TO BE HERE, and so do Drew, Jake
and Sean. They're coming soon to pick me up for work,
but wanted to say "hi" and good to hear from you!

I want to repond to your message, say the right things. I don't want you to feel hurt or you think I think your an enemy to me or even to anyone else. YOUR NOT!

I'm not trying to put you off in not answering now and
responding to your message, and I know you will see I
quickly posted a couple of other messages earlier to others in the forum but, I want to respond right and Drew, Jake and Sean have just shown up to pick me up and we need to get to work.

Please allow me to get back with you tonight or earliest tomorow morning. I'll go down from top to bottom in your message to me and respond. I thought I would have time to
do so, but the guys got here sooner then what I thought and I thought I would have time.

I hope you have a good day at work. I believe you were going to start a job at a Garden Center as a salesman when we last talked awhile back? Hope all is going great at work? My best to you and Julie. Holly and I are still doing
great.

Later...Mark.

I gave notice at the shirt store today so I will only be doing that for another week. I got a job, a dream job, that I really love!

Hi PJ,

I had hoped to comment and give answers to questions you had and left me in a thread of this title last Thursday after work but, my boss asked me if I would stay overnite Thursday and Friday and come home Saturday which I did.
It didn't go over good at first with Holly as I was suppose to take her to a nearby county fair Friday night and with change of plans came disappointment at first, until my folks and her folks came to the rescue and said let's all go to the fair together Saturday afternoon and evening, stay over at a motel and continue the fair on Sunday and then come home Sunday night, which we did.

I've been having computer trouble and accessing websites, and was worried I might not get here, but did. Don't know what causing that but, others here have been having some trouble with computer virus's and things. Wonder if we might too, but main issue is having trouble accessing websites for whatever reason and trying to check into that.

I want to talk with you and give answers to inquiries you wanted to know and asked but, I will do so in a separate thread to see if the computer is working for that.

Did want to say good luck with your job with the t-shirts but, if you've left that job then, GOOD LUCK with the dream job!

Good to hear you and Julie doing great!

I see Brooks dad has started a New Forum. Been trying to check it out but, having direct access problems getting there so I don't know what all will happen. I hope I can stay incontact with Brooks, Tanner, Brady and Wyatt and others at their site, and I want to be here too with YOU and if they want to come here that is fine, too!

Let me thread-out here and we'll talk further, okay?

Hi PJ,

Let's talk.

I was glad you came up with the idea when the earlier forum went inactive to ask me and others to come back here to this forum, especially for Brooks so he and I could be in
ProBoards together to talk, especially about sports he so wanted to, and I wanted to talk with YOU in ProBoards too.

PJ I didn't think you were the forum moderator but, when somethings happened off and on I had others tell me you were and believed it sometimes.

Yeah, I didn't know how to setup ProBoards. I NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE! I asked Brooks and he told somethings and then was unsure about others and I assumed there would be step-by-step instructions for a beginner to follow. Not everyone is computer-minded and computer-gifted about doing somethings if you never did it before. That was why all the questions and yes I was paranoid. People are warned about guarding themselves or family members when taking on the unknown in things.

If I appeared to be "whinning" I didn't realize I was. I was keeping Brooks in mind about him so wanting me to come to ProBoards to continue a friendship with him, Brady, Tanner and Wyatt and I would want to with YOU, too!

Okay when things didn't go my way, and others saw it happening too, I got angry. I'm human to do so, and others got angry, too. When anger happens I say and do unkind things sometimes, and many times they got my butt spanked!
I didn't mean to hurt you or call you un christian. I thought and others did too, that you didn't want me at ProBoards. That was why I lashed out at you. I am truly sorry. I became unchristian and made a fool of myself!

I was surprised that Coach B created HIS FORUM with me and other athletes in mind to come there and be apart of it, after what he saw took place in this forum when I was turned down to be in ProBoards. I know too, when Brooks' dad tried to help me out to get in ProBoards he had some issues and didn't get some answers to questions he had and asked and ordered Brooks to leave ProBoards and the forum!
When you came to Coach B's forum to want to ask Brooks a question to an issue you were discussing Coach B thought it was wrong of you to do so. He did let Brooks know about you came but, didn't leave the post for display in the forum long from what I could see. He was angry you came to his forum and you did to communicate with Brooks because you didn't have another way to do so, just like I returned to this forum when Coach B's forum closed unexpectantly for whatever reason to try to say contact with Brooks and Tanner who were away at sports camps and would be wondering what happened. I see Brooks was scared as much as I was thinking our friendship was lost! Yes, I became angry you followed to Coach B forum, and I did say you needed a spanking because of the unchristian treatment you had done to me, as I was thinking you were behind me not coming to ProBoard. It was Coach B who spanks athletes with canes and that's why he commented you needed a caning for the way he thought you acted and thought you were the Moderator of this forum, too. Your going to have to advertise your not the forum moderator somehow as some people can misunderstand and think you are!

PJ I never meant to hurt you. It was anger and disappointment that got me and made me say and do things to hurt you. Sorry. You and others have every right to not want me around, but I guess I get another chance as you said that I can stay and be here, as I do want to. Only if I have a computer to get me here with the way we have been having trouble and all and even trouble accessing like others have been having trouble too.

I know your not my enemy and want to be friends still!
Let's get on with friendship and continue to be and work things out. God caused a reason I believe for us to continue to be friends, and for me to return to this forum, besides others as well, so let's see why and get on with life!

Are you and me fine now? If not, we can go over more things, rehash the past and make things right? I am sorry for what happened.

Mark,

I think you said all that needs to be said. All I ever really wanted was an explanation and you gave it. Your apology means a lot and I never even really wanted that.

I truly hate it that Brooks got dragged through our disagreement.

If we are honest, over the past year and a half we have both said some hurtful things, so lets forgive and forget and move on.

I will occasionally look in at Petedad's forum and I assume you will be checking in here on occasion.

As far as making a statement that I do not moderate these forums, Dad and I have both made it.

Mark, yes, I am fine now. I see no reason to continue to beat this dead horse.

School starts for me on Thursday. I am a senior and I hope to be class president so I can speak at graduation. I got knocked out of the valedictorian's spot.

The new job is at the church. I truly love it. I am the interim worship leader now. Dad left the pastorate and is now teaching at the university.

Mark (nerd) and I both graduate this year as does Julie. The school (college) Julie and I want to attend is not a practical choice so she and I will look at a state school. I will major in music and she in physical therapy. Nerd still wants to be a lawyer.

Caleb is a junior this year. Caleb still wants to teach and still plays piano.

JB and Beth are both growing and I can tell they are both smart. JB is stubborn like his big brother.

Benji is with us again. He is 15 now. He attends a different school now. He aspires to be a chef.

Rat is doing ok. Father's Day was rough. He will be a junior and will be Jr. class President. He is still writing and hopes to do some sort of ministry.

Turtle is fine. They have traveled some this summer and his Mom had a baby (on my birthday.) His step father adopted him.

Sam (Julie's brother from flip-flop fame) is married now and he and his wife have a baby.

Mark, we are 17 now and will be 18 before we know it. So, since we are almost adults I figure we ought to act like it. All is fine and forgiven. Sending a virtual hand shake. I can't say I will post a lot but I will make sure we stay in touch.
