oh come on.....coming to the lake does not promote tbm. I'm banned ...... and i'm having a good time with it. who cares? do you really think king dick tater will benefit from this event? lol NOT- anyway.......i'll smile big for the photos blake will see and will enjoy the weekend with good friends . I'm over the drama . one poop won't spoil my fun.

Oh you just never know I might come down just to see what it was Shane kept going back for. Dawg says he and I woulda been trouble together. I'm sorry I missed that dance.

You guys had the perfect opportunity to show who was the better man in all this. All you had to do is show up and have a good time with fellow boaters. You failed.....miserably.

Ray why do you keep this going if in the other thread you want to see it die?

EDITED:

Brian I agree, but when the website calls us "TRASH" you don't expect people to jump to the defense? For me it's over. And for me work has gotten in the way to going to the LOTO for the past 5+/- yrs and again this year I have already planned events that I'm attending according to a few I'm going to the Shootout so I'll see you there and drink a beer with you so we can finally meet...End of drama for me!!!!!

From what I've seen it's same story over again the webmaster stirs the pot and then lets everyone else do the dirty work and he comes out smelling like a rose...Then when it all fails he still looks like the good guy...Sounds alot like government to me..

Dave we have been key boared friends for what 5 years +/-, and I have had your back many times, and you have had mine.

But this time you are crossing the line.

The TBM is the name of the event, it has been since day one, like it or not, that is what it's name is and how people remember which one it is.

You have never participated in it, Lots of promices to come, but you never have. Truley you have no idea what you are missing. There is a reason this spacific run has garnered the loyalty from those that have participated. We have a great time!

Jesus man, if any event was about just one person, it would fail miserably. Seems to me you were part of that lynching just a couple of years ago with another web site owner. Me too and where did it get anyone? One mans dreams crushed and a LOT of haters that didn't even know them. At least that "spew" was behind closed doors where it belongs.

I'm tired of the BS! Sooner or later the fighting should end. And don't say it is Blake, because that is like calling the Kettle black!

Now for this thread, Ray I think it should be deleted and closed,then reopen it fresh.

All I ask of the haters, keep your opinions in the Banned thread, we don't have to read that if we don't want to. But this is the event we are attempting to set up and run, invite those that want to have a great time.

And I again invite EVERYONE to join us, But if it is for "just trouble" stay home, we can get enough drama here...

Respect... It is earned, never given. And is ALWAYS a quick comment away from losing it!

I think I'll leave it up for a while Brian. The irony of a handful of people with 74 pages of hostile comments on one forum in 3 months getting upset with one mild retaliatory post by the object of their "affection" is still settling in.

In the meantime I'll just sit here on the deck watching the boats go by.

Brian sent you a PM

I wish all those putting the effort into this run for the people to attend and have a great time a HUGE success. Curt started a great event and although I've never been able to attend due to other obligations from talking with him and others that have attended it's a class act. Hopefully it will continue with whoever is involved with putting it on...
