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.
