Wasn't meaning to bring drama...the purpose of this thread was merely to get peoples opinions as to why people are the way they are on the drama sites. I just don't get it...I mean life is too short to focus on the shortcomings of a person or to try and prove that you're somehow better than everyone else. Life is too short to fault someone for a mistake that they made, admitted to and fixed. The fact that they were able to admit to the mistake and immediately stepped in and fixed it should tell you what type of a person they are...but I see that a lot of people look too much into the action carried out rather than look at the intent behind the action (looking at the 'effect' while ignoring the cause behind the effect). On top of that, I lost someone who I thought was a good friend over the matter and even though that tells me a lot about that person, it still gets to me at the same time.
this is what i mean (DRAMA) and this is all i will say on this

we here at scjb have not persecuted you for the mistake you made, and i really dont think you need anyones opinion (unless you are looking for DRAMA) because it really doesn't matter, this is the internet, shut it off and come back later, or dont open the thread.(better yet) dont reply.
i spend a good bit of time on the boat forums and dont reply to a 1/4 of the threads i read, because, its a boat site, not a place to make friends. if a friendship or two comes out of it then i have done good.

the reason i posted on your thread is i dont want the drama here, this is my home and i, and the rest of us are protective of it.

i know you have been here a while and i probably never welcomed you, so welcome

and once again i like your tech articles and think they are a big help to us at scjb so thank you.
