See the boards through a new light.

And see PEOPLE for that which they are...

I'm really trying to be a better person here.

See Palama J think that wasn’t all them, I think that was also part marketing and mostly society being hungry for something else. And they were it. I think of the Beatles like I do Elvis. I really like a lot of his work too, but there’s a lot of fluff and cashing in. I don’t point that at the artists I point that at the whole of what surrounds them.

With Zep it was just the music and I’m a big blues fan as well.

You (BGZ & TGraz) we’re generally hammering the snot out of each other. Mainly it was you and TGraz selling the product of the other being the lowest form of life. BGZ also played nasty.

My request for a reset was to start the show with everyone starting at the same place. Watch and listen without any known bias on my part to see how you carry yourselves from a new starting point.

Don’t know or care to understand the history. Just want to see for myself who rises to the top and who sinks deepest to the bottom.

And everyone can suggest I just frank off.

Semi retired people need to engage in hobbies. I’ve chosen to pick this one up.

Let’s say what you are saying about TGraz is 100% true- for the sake of our exchange. We both well know there are three sides to every story. And if Opie was there, there are four sides to the story.

Tony could very easily make a post next explaining his version of the event and characterize you and everything about you which would be equally unfavorable about you. Where does that get us?

I couldn’t provide any specific examples (which I admit would be helpful) but I do know I’ve crossed swords with you, Tony, Opie and about five hundred other people here- 55,000+ posts over 17+ years and unmeasurable barrels of alcohol in the rear view mirror, I couldn’t tell you for sure). I couldn’t tell you what 98.2% of them were about. My most recent one that is in the 1.2% is a series of moderately brutal exchanges of bombs with Opie.

Opie was 100% wrong and I was 100% right. At least in the heat of the moment\day and for at least two weeks after the latest of the exchanges of shots.

After those two weeks (maybe I was still locked on and ready to blow him up some more for another week or two) I decided to take a step back and see if I could pull anything positive about the exchanges.

Next, I poured myself a cup of Humilty, went into Introspective Mode to see what points he had (and he did) on how I might do things differently. Both going forward and if I could go back, what would I do differently. I apologized to him on a vherf for some of the extra-crispy flamethrower shots I delivered and said i would work to be better. He was kind, accepted the apology and admitted he wasn’t an angel either. We’ve seen each other on a couple of e herfs since then and have been cordial with each other. You could almost say Friendly. I no longer hold Ill,will toward him. Hope he feels similarly.

You are a Texan and I think a Christian. Foregiveness and being more Christlike is what we should aspire to. I fail more often than I am successful, but I keep trying.

I’d like you to try not only with Tony, but with everyone.

For the people here where there is a mutual understanding and respect, do poke and joust. That is much of the fun here.

For those other people, why feed into the bitterness? Why keep fighting the old war?

Since I’ve asked for a reset, BGZ has showed the more restraint, patience and kindness than you and Tony. Tony has actually been kinder than you (which has surprised me, but maybe that was my bias coming in because I have fought with him MUCH more often than you and I have ever tangled).

Not sure about this (somebody here let me know if I’m wrong about this). Think Tony is Jewsish.
By my score card, the Jewish guy is being more Christian than the Texan Christian.

I like you a lot, Ron. Prayed for you almost every night when your life was in the balance, you couldn’t get the care you needed when you wanted because Covid was franking up your appointments. I would say every night, but am sure I forgot some nights. Maybe I need to start again and hope your heart softens and you can let the bitterness go.

There’s 15 minutes of one finger typing I won’t get back in my life. If it makes things better, every peck is worth it.
