Eye of the beholder. When I first started posting on this board a lot, you'd attack me constantly as Evil JACK while being cool with me at Real Time or Katie OConnor's. Holier than thou won't suit you here. You're upset with people ribbing you for canceling Lakemoorfest. You're upset with people hoping for clarify on why. Besides Free Ajent's comment, I don't see anything here that should have you going off as you are. R-E-L-A-X

It also really took off when good dolphin pointed out that Darkside a few months earlier had previously mentioned concerns about "inviting people to his home" when the chas stuff came out.

I mean, if he had come out and said "Lakemoorfest is cancelled because FF burned a pizza in my oven" then it would have been a quick thread.

Yeah Evil Jack was the first person to DB me and it happened mins after a debate with DS. I knew it was him. Just like I knew it was him that shared some things that were primarily jokingly said about Chus in chat. Dr. Ken confirmed what I suspected last week.

So, AGAIN, you predicted the correct outcome based on bad evidence.

You got any lottery numbers?

If you think the lakemoorfest thread was an effort to attract attention you have a poor perception of what I do here and my ultimate reaction to that thread.
If I was looking for attention I probably wouldn't have stopped posting for three or so weeks.

I'm quite confident there are plenty of people who will tell you they had messaged or texted me asking about the time and clarifying the date. As it got closer to the time in which folks might be making plans for transportation, sitters, or menus I felt it was appropriate to publically announce that something that was generally accepted as a given over the previous 6 years or so was no longer an event.

By those standards of logic any thread we start can be said to be attention whoring. Was your thread of quoting etiquette intended to be read by nobody and not replied to?

Not posting after being a regular for a long time IS a way of getting attention, but that's not the point.

Ill take you at your word about why you posted it. My take on it was my perception after reading it.


My thread was meant for people who do that annoying quote thing. I hope they stop so I can read their posts without getting SCROLL fatigue.

I very much look for attention on this board often though, so Ill plead guilty there.

You know imu, you pulled some real nasty shit on me back when we first met, or I should say after we first met. I'm not the kind of guy to drag someone into an ally and try to beat them up but you, unless you have a record breaking lack of self awareness, should have known that I was not your biggest fan. I'm not looking to ruin anyone's day, and I'll play nice with everyone. Was I "cool" with you? Not particularly. But I wasn't trying to be rude to you either.

So posting is a way of looking for attention and getting sick of the drama infusion and logging off for a few weeks is looking for attention. Looks like an unwinnable position. No matter what I do is be looking for attention.
When I did douchebag of the week 10 years ago I was enjoying the attention. I wanted to make people laugh. That was my goal.
Looking back on it perhaps you're right, the lakemoorfest thread was a subliminal commentary on the current status of the board. Up front, my reasons are far less clandestine and significantly more practical. At the time I didn't really want to explain my reasoning as I was hoping to maintain a peaceful ending to the whole thing without having to lie about the reasoning behind it.

I am not a hater until we start talking golf or soccer (and Chus sometimes).

That is how I read it. I only had a hint that the event wasn't happening because Jorr told me at Arlington Park. Then I asked you in another thread. I was glad you confirmed it.

I don't think that was me. The only way I knew was because of the post and I think that was made after the AP event.

Darkside,
I hope you can find peace and a way to once again enjoy the board. It happens that some people change and the board no longer provides them something they need or want in their lives. It's normally more a reflection of their life changes and not really the board changing. The board is still mostly just a bunch of dumb guys talking about dumb stuff and people obsessed with Julie DiCaro.

By the way, is Lakemoorfest on for next year?

No I am positive I head it from you that you were tipped off that it was not happening. We went to AP on early July. DS posted on July 22.

I don't know how I would have known that. It's not like I'm a close confidant of Darkside.

He was trying to get an early start.

You know everything....

In any case, you merely indicated that he may not being doing it this year. It sounded like you had heard it from someone else. You weren't sure. It just caused me to ask DS because I had assumed it was on and was arranging transportation.

I give Darkside a score of 92% on the "whiny little bitch" meter for his work in this thread.

In a Tiger Woods thread? Usually, you.

After reading this the mere idea of endless apps was disgusting:
