I believe it was AMD who said "nice job" when I got ran off the first time....well what comes around goes around....the one thing about this forum is it will suck you back in...I bet he is reading all the posts....personally I could care less if he never comes back to this forum but he did post some quality threads

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Okay, here it goes.

You know, this is the internet.  People meet like in real life, and some people just don't like other people.  That's life.   The world is a macrocosm of the school lunch table to some degree.   We all have mostly anonymous screen names, living in seclusion from human contact during these conversations.

It is when someone you've never met before starts creepily obsessing over things, calling your spouse terrible names on a public forum, and then deciding to threaten with violence your person do you start to wonder.  I am a big enough dude and am not personally worried this guy coming to kick my ass, but I have a young daughter and an easily spooked spouse and do not wish to have some sort of high school throw down ala MMJ style.  I don't recall what I've said or done that would instill such things in another human being, let alone some creepy internet message board poster whom I've never met in person.  Surely you good people can understand that.  I quit because I just couldn't deal with that anymore.  I didn't want to be angry, but I was.  

I also understand that as a public forum, anything goes to a certain degree.  However, as I stated above, there were events in the past that "crossed some boundries" so to speak and despite repeated efforts to make right, this guy pops off comments about me-serendipitiously as I stop in for the very first time in literally months-and I said my peace.  

I apologize to anyone who found those comments inflammatory or out of line, but as I stated above, this had gone too far months and months ago, let alone just a basic "John Conaway sucks" commentary that comes out of nowhere and is based in this creepy assed dude's obsession.  It's just fucking crazy, and I'm sorry, I won't tolerate it.

People who know me in cyber and real life know I'm basically a pissed off optimist-I want to see the glass half full.  I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.  My utopia is an endless bounty for all.  I can be pretty acidic when I want to be.  There's many, many things that have been feeding my personal angst (death, loss, etc .) that I won't bore you with, but suffice to say the past few years have been the most challenging I've ever experienced.  On all levels, too-spiritual, financial, emotional-hell, I was 24 hours from losing my house to foreclosure just three years ago today-but I made it out.  And I possibly drank and smoked too much during those years, and possibly got bitchy on the internet about stupid shit.  But, I didn't threaten anyone with violence, and I didn't obsess over bullshit that happened years ago over comments made on the internet.  I just didn't, sorry.

In closing, I'm just sorry it came to this.  I surely did not want to be painted into a corner, and I'm sure it will be better in the future.

Peace,
John Conaway

P.S.  Corndogs, Thin Lizzy, and rototillers all around!  Woot!

This is slowly turning in to my most favorite thread of all time.....but NOTHING will ever beat the cornholing thread ;D

[LizKing531]

I was really looking forward to my 1st Jacketfest!!!

Dylan didn't come up with the concept of Jacketfest.....If anything, it's his fault it rained on us most of the time.

- WTF dude?  What kinda shit is that?  

For a group talking about aMD being an internet tough-guy - there's sure a whole lot of tough guys chiming in now.  It seems like he's definitely not the only one that might be harboring some major ill-will

................Let he that has no sin cast the first stone

to be fair I read this as sarcasm.  I'm pretty sure Ewok was proving just what Dylan did do for last years Jacketfest.  At least that was my take..

I'm glad not everyone thinks I blame Dylan for it raining.

*sigh*

Even if I did blame him for the bad weather (oooh, maybe I do!), how does that make me a tough guy? Moron? Absolutely. Tough guy? I don't see it.

Do you guys remember what happened to those peeps after Dylan summoned the storm? My heart feels the way those peeps looked - very tired and deflated.

Dylan will be back, so why the added drama (this thread) on top of drama (Dylan calling out John) on top of drama (the newbies) on top of drama (the leak)?

ok, gotta put my math skills to use.... that would be... drama to the fourth power?

i was on the verve's board for 10 years w/the same members--it used to get pretty heavy--but i finally left because it got ridiculous and even one of the band members got involved..(well that and also they haven't made an album in 10 years either LOL) ....this board is great--people are nice, funny, quirky--good times!

[Kimbos_Evil_Bread]

true that

hell yeah, great rule.  And I'd even go so far as if you don't say it to their face then just don't say it at all, much less post it.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

I agree, and therein lies the rub.

A day of that shit will whip a mans ASS...I know cause dad use to have one

[cmccubbin25]

yeah...i was sad to see Dylan go.  we have never met in person but met on this board and e-mailed back and forth and traded shows and rare MMJ cuts.  i remember when i first joined i made a post about the beginnings of the band that were inaccurate (b/c they came from a bad source secondhand!)...i was so excited about the band and letting out this info.  i was totally shit on by then senior members and Dylan actually sent me a PM and said don't worry about it and we became fast "interweb friends."

hope you come back man...the board is less without you!

[Coltrane]
