[quote=DrMaddVibe]Yeah you did. You've been going post to post dropping crap and this thread you couldn't contain yourself any longer. Go back and read every post since you even wanted to say I was attacking Russ! You've made accusations, innuendoes that worse people than you made here about the very same matter. That's on you. You don't hold any leverage over me, your opinions don't matter to me, you're so far from the reality of what happened and yet you STILL continue to harp on like you do matter. It's all there...go back and read it. You do not get to rewrite events of that day. You weren't there. I've told you in Orlando at Corona Cigars all of this and even had a post that was a diary of sorts. It chronicled the entire divorce like a diary from the day I filed till the day it was erased by someone with access to the server NOT BY ME. It was deleted because the very same person you still want to believe couldn't see forest for the trees and posted the arrest photo. I've been here for a real long time and one thing I don't have to do is lie. Either you believe me, or you don't. You don't. You want to recall an event that at the time was the lowest part I had ever felt. Going through a divorce yourself, I would think you could understand all of that, but it's lost on you. That's all on you. The only person that really gets it has already apologized and I totally forgive him. Not his fault. He was almost put up to it in order to lower me because she had already moved on. She could've handled it in a more adult manner, but she didn't and it got played out the way it did.[/quote]
Below you will find all of my comments in this thread since you attacked Russ. Before you look back through them there are a few things that would be worth noting.
I've stated that you were arrested for some sort of domestic abuse type situation and even said I didn't know the details. In fact, my remarks regarding your arrest are consistent with what you have said. So your assumption that I'm harping on you doing something that I do not know about is false because I've been very careful not accuse you of anything specific.
I've stated that you bully people who don't share your beliefs. If you want, I'll be happy to dig back through your 50,000+ posts you've made here. You can delete some of them but I'm fairly certain I can come up with a few gems.
I don't think I've been oblique or hinted at anything. In fact, I think I have been quite clear.
I stated that you have a propensity for name calling and how that is an indicator of someone who has esteem issues and even gave references for that assumption. Do I need to post examples of the alleged name calling?
We had a short herf in Orlando. Certainly, nowhere near enough time to go into details. In fact, I do not even recall this topic coming up for discussion because I know i wouldn't want to spend what little time, we had with the other person there discussing your trials and tribulations, but more mutually inclusive subjects. However, whatever details you may or may not have shared would have been your version of what happened which may or may not be completely true.
Since you also tied that with sharing with me because I was going through a divorce, I'll have to drop the BS flag because I didn't even separate from my wife until more than 2 years after. Therefore, I'll have to rate that narrative as false.
[quote=Abrignac]Whatās worse a person is believed to need mental help by someone who probably doesnāt have the appropriate training or credentials to make such an assessment or a guy that gets arrested for beating a family member?[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Actually I found out the details when you and Victor got into a pissing match which led to him posted the link here. Not from any alleged āsharingā encounter.
As far your opinion of me I could care less. I care more about the slime a snail leaves in its trail than you or your opinions.
Why did I bring it up? Thatās simple. Russ posted something and what did you do? You attacked him by posting that he needed mental help. It seems you attack anyone who disagrees with you. Itās seems youāve done constantly since I joined the board twelve or so years ago. It would be my guess this is behavior thatās gone on far longer, but I donāt know, nor do I care. So I simply put it in to perspective of what sort of person you seem to be.
I donāt know the details of what led to your encounter with law enforcement regarding the matter. Nor am I interested in hearing your side. I worked in law enforcement long enough to know there are ALWAYS two sides to every story and the truth lies somewhere between them. But from what information has been available to me it seems itās consistent with how you conduct yourself here which that of a person who attacks those with whom you donāt see eye to eye.
In terms of how the āboardā views me that also is of no concern to me. For better or worse I am who I am and I live my life the way I see fit. If someone has a problem then they are free to block my comments. If someone disagrees with me, fine. I understand that people will disagree over all sorts of ideas. So I wonāt lose a momentās sleep either way. [/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Jamie Iām not going to debate. I said what I said. Let the chips fall where they may. [/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Should have been closed the day it started. The title says it all. [/quote]
As suspected you'll make up things to justify your position.
The ONLY time I have ever interacted with you in the presence of a witness was when I was in Tampa for a class back in 2018 or 2019 when you, Robert and I got together in the early evening in Orlando. As I recall that herf lasted about an hour because as you had an hour or more drive home. There was little time to talk and I'm sure we didn't use that short time to discuss your encounter with law enforcement.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Other than that you and I have talked on the phone maybe a half dozen times.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]My mistake. Not an attack, but a term of endearment.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]No you have not. But I'll address this a bit further down.[/quote]
See first quote.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Time lines are also a funny thing. That herf which I said earlier is the ONLY time I ever interacted with you in the presence of another person happened more than 2 years before my ex and I separated. So your fabrication that you shared because I was going through a divorce is a lie.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]This may or may not be 100% accurate. Who knows? You lied when you stated that shared this story with me in front of witnesses.
There are always two sides to every story. Usually when someone tells a story they tell it a way that shows them in the best light possible especially when it involves them being arrested. So absent a full copy of the court file including things like an affidavit of probable cause, witness statements and narratives of any follow-up investigation all we have is your version. Maybe this is accurate. Maybe this is a complete fabrication.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]I could care less what anyone thinks of me. Iām not Stuart Smalley so I donāt need daily, hourly, by the minute or by the second affirmations. On the other hand if that is a crutch that you require to stand upright then so be it. The fact that I am dead to you, that falls under the heading of āI Could Care Lessā.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]That sounds like a 2nd grader running to his Mommy crying, "Look what he did to me."[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Do you truly think you are that important? In what world would I ever concern myself with whether are not you continue posting here? Such a place does not exist. Youāre far to self-absorbed in your own sense of self-importance if you think I care one way or another regarding whether or not you continue to post here. I have far more important things such as how many millimeters my grass grew in the past 24 hours than to concern myself with such trivial matters.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Glad you got that off your chest. Much better to blow of steam here than to hold on to any rage. If you didnāt vent here itās possible youād lose your temper around someone. God forbid something like that happen again. No telling what the result may be.
Being a fiscal conservative Iāll take one for the team. I wouldnāt want the citizens of Florida to have to pay for your transportation or any room and board expenses which might be a byproduct of such an event.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]You are obviously concerned what people think of me. Youāve said so in each of your last 2 or 3 posts on this thread that you directed at me. But you need not be. Is your life so empty that you have room in your schedule to worry like that? I certainly donāt have room in my schedule to consider what anyone thinks of you are anyone else for that matter. Perhaps you need a hobby or some else to occupy your idle time.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]In the spirit or reciprocity since you concerned yourself with peopleās perception of me I thought I could return the favor. So I found this. It may help you understand your shortcomings.
Thereās more to this article but this may help you get started since this seems to be something you do very, very frequently.

I remember you once posting that someone needed mental help. I think you are absolutely correct. I do think someone needs mental help. I wonder who that could beā¦ā¦?[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Got a big shovel with a long handle. It can dig wide and deep. Not taking sides are you?[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Youāre saying you know the players involved. Youāve made no other discernible point that Iām aware of.[/quote]..
[quote=Abrignac]I brought up an event that happened. I never mentioned anyone specifically simply his encounter with law enforcement over a domestic battery type situation as an example of an apparent propensity to bully others with whom he disagrees with which seems consistent with posts heās made here in the past directed at people with whom he disagrees.
The fact that you were around at point in time and know the players in the drama is one thing. But if you were not present when the event occurred then you have no direct knowledge of the actual incident in question. If you are privy to an affidavit of probable cause, witness statements and follow-up investigation narratives then Iāll stipulate that you know what happened. Absent that your opinion of my summation is just that an opinion.
One thing that I do seem to recall, perhaps Iām confused, was a post that John made here many, many months ago where stated that either him or his wife was going to jail and he decided heād go because he felt he could handle it better. That doesnāt fit the narrative in the story he told most recently. The most recent story didnāt include any discussion of anything she did that would warrant her going to jail. So again Iām confused.
That said, Iām perfectly content to drop this. In fact, I had no intention of posting anything more regarding this a few posts back. But if someone wants to lecture me Iāll respond in kind. Otherwise consider this my last post on the subject.
By the way Thomas as I recall you and the person who brought this up the last time spent quite a bit of time hanging out together when the two of you lived near each other. In fact I recall him slipping a pic past the mods of a guy lying on the ground behind the two of you masterbating for which he earned a timeout. I donāt seem to recall you lecturing him back then. Not that it really matters.
Since I do intend this to be my last post unlessā¦. In response to being called lowlife Iād like to say for the record it takes a real low life to physically assault a family member.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]Call me what ever you wish. It makes no difference to me. I know who I am and your feeble attempts to compensate for your shortcomings donāt affect me in anyway.
Besides for someone who tells someone else they need mental help it would seem you would be much more concerned with why you allowed your own behavior to escalate to the point where you would put your hands on a member of your own family to such a degree that it would lead to your mug shot appearing on the internet.
We can continue this back and forth if you wish. But at the end of the day youāll just call me a low life or something else and Iāll just remind you that you apparently got arrested for physically assaulting a family member. Iāll take low life over family-member-assaulter everytime.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]My actions are directed by a certain code of ethics I follow. One tenet is that silence is deemed approval. Let me give you an example. A person uses contemptable language when describing another in one's presence. To remain silent gives the appearance of acceptance of such language.
So I chose to not remain silent when a member of this forum once again felt that it was ok to attack another member of this forum because he posted something the attacker disagreed with. Since no one here has had the cajones to call him out for his behavior he continues a long and documented history of doing so.
Jamie the next statement is one in general and not directed at you. Regardless of the circumstances in one's life, there is absolutely no excuse for belittling those with whom you disagree.
[quote=Abrignac]As I've said I could care less what I'm showing as that was not and still is not a consideration in regard to this.
Nope didn't give my login to Victor. I'm brave but not that brave.
I don't care how anyone sees anyone else me included. That never entered into the deliberation process when I went down this rabbit hole.
He seeming has a long and well documented history here of insulting people with whom he disagrees. Insulting is a trait of a bully. Bully's are generally the type of people who lose their temper and physically assault (or more accurately, commit a battery) others. Perhaps you see the pattern. Perhaps not. I really don't care either way. That's my opinion and I really don't see it changing.[/quote]
[quote=Abrignac]A study by The National Institutes of Health reveals some startling statistics:
Bullying Type Percentage
Verbal 77%
Social Exclusion 54%
Physical 23%
This suggests that bullying is more psychological than we initially thought!
Here are some commonly observed psychological traits among bullies:
Low self-esteem
Lack of empathy
Aggressiveness
Difficulty following rules
View violence in a positive way
Understanding these elements is critical for tackling bullying at its root cause! Remember: Knowledge empowers us all to act effectively against such damaging behavior.

[quote=Abrignac]I don't have mugshot as a result of using violence against others. But I'm fairly certain you do.[/quote]
