While it is very noble of you to stick to your word, you have in essence allowed him to once more break the rules. Its kind of a shot in the back if you ask me! Oh well, it's your board!!

I did this to clear some things up. I got sick of members who had no part of this, being attacked and blamed for his banning. This is not something I normally do, and everyone knows that. But I was sick of people who knew nothing about the situation making up stories as to why he got banned. I wanted him to put the whole thing to rest, and he did. I don't like that he flamed, but he is not getting the last word. He has his contact information in the last post, so whoever wants to argue with him, has the ability to. I did what I had to do in order to deal with what I considered a major problem.

Man, this really bothered me, so I cut my workout short to come back and post again.

mammoth, you are the last person that I would think I would have to explain myself to, but perhaps you are the only one that spoke your mind. I really thought if anyone would have said anything, it would have been those that Calipso flamed in his post. But from my understanding, those that he took a shot at were members who have had a problem with Calipso for a long time. So this wasn't just a cheap shot that they never expected.

If I made an err in judgement, I do apologize. I saw this as a way to get past this whole situation and put an end to it as opposed to having to explain myself again in 6 months as to why he got banned. And I promise you, that many months from now someone is going to ask why he got banned. I will simply point them to this thread instead of having to explain myself again.

If I screwed up, I apologize, but at the time I thought what I was doing was best for the current and future situations.

I prefer nobility to shrewdness anyday. It was a proper way to deal with the situation. But there is no need for this thread to be commented on any longer. I hope other members will understand the situation, and refrain from bumping it up constantly. The situation is over and resolved, and it's being unnecessarily brought back into our line of sight. What's over is over.

Honestly I shouldn't have said anything. I completely understand the situation and your reasons for doing what you did. You allowed Calipso to say a final word, while promising not to delete or edit his post. He took advantage of you and kinda used the opportunity to take a cheap shot at a few of the members here. I just found it very disrespectful on his part. I think that you showed alot of restraint in this situation. Alot more than many of the Mods and admins on most of the boards out there. You should be commended for that! Now I feel bad that I caused you to cut your workout short. I am now going to go have myself flogged by an angry phillipino.

lol, don't sweat it bro. I just did back today. And after seeing Coleman on Saturday night, I feel like a joke when it comes to working out with my little weights.

I am glad that you spoke up though bro. It gave me a chance to have my final say on all of this. I am done with it now, at least I hope I am. I appreciate the reply.

Now stay away from those angry, people-flogging phillipinos.

Don't worry Jason, soon you'll move past those hot pink 2 1/2 pounders and get up tothe bright green 5 pounders. Just stick with it and stay focused.... you'll get there.

Sorry bro... I couldn't let such an oppurtunity pass by.

Agreed. Hanging in the lounge, dissing people and cracking jokes is one thing. going in the steroid forum, my second home, and flaming those who were in his place ONE MONTH AGO is obsurd. No one flamed him when he was ignorant about the use of steroids , yet he flamed those who don't know. That is wrong. I do think it was cool of Jason to let him make a final post.

I know how you feel. Just when you think you are getting big, you watch one of those ESPN episodes and then you feel small again. And that is just from the female episodes.

I also dont see how allowing Calipso to make one more post hurt anything.
Like you said, it put an end to endless questions as to why he was banned.
Its not like allowing him to post one more time enabled him to spread a computer virus through the AR board or anything. Shit, he put in his last words, not the sharpest or wittiest but it was something that should have been done.

And damn those members who keep bumping this thread up. My god wont you guys stop and let this rest

**Kato** · 11-10-2003, 07:41 PM

Jas......you ain't gotta apologize for anything bro.....i shoudl have kept my trap shut? Who am i to run my mouth? I shoulda took the high road here. A very wise man told me not to make enemies but i did not listen. And for that i apologize to you and everyone of the big dogs for all the drama.

Shit. I was really humbled at the GNC Show of Strength. I got a chance to talk to Art Atwood and I was in awe the whole time. I felt like 4' tall and like 100lbs soaking wet standing next to him.

Oh and I wish all these people would stop bumping this thread!! hehe cliche time
