@Off The Grid . Do you now what's happening with mayoclinic?
I'm afraid that I don't. He'nd I had a Falling Out and aren't in touch.
But I agree with you and Kontra.
He was a very good poster. Much like you, I hope that he returns at some point.
And you Supa. Unfortunately I had a bit of a falling out with him just before he left too, over Byron Jones.
I KNEW it! It was a fight over a girl.
For two draftniks, having a disagreement over an NFL* prospect is, essentially, the same thing.
Hmmm, interesting.
At least your disagreement makes a bit of sense, as correct as you've been thus far regarding Byron Jones.
@Off The Grid, on the other hand? That one seems a bit more complicated. He's fairly laid back and straight forward.
What could they have possibly disagreed about? Storylines of Star Wars? How to properly skin a buffalo? Who can make the best homemade gunpowder? Whether or not there's a supreme leader overseeing the people of Earth? The proper nomenclature used to describe the place kicker? Inquiring minds want to know.
Heh. Sorry to be so slow getting back to you, Brother Fly. It's been a
viciously busy week or so at Work...
It was right here in the Forum, so I reckon there's no Harm in recapitulating it, and it'll be good for The Soul to air it out, here where it happened, as Brother Mayo and I go way back:
01 ~ 2 Years ago, in the wake of Vince Wilfork's ACL Injury, some Spastic Colon prefaced an OffSeason Game Plan Statement with the
excremental words "
assuming they cut Wilfork..."
02 ~ I took Umbrage, and
called the lad on his offensive and idiotic Assumption.
Civilly. I noted that cutting Wilfork was something most'f us considered a very real Possibility... "But speculating about what
might happen and "
assuming they cut Wilfork" are 2 entirely different things."
03 ~ Some time later, he read a Blurb somewhere and foolishly ~
and incorrectly ~ jumped to the conclusion that Wilfork was
indeed going to be cut
imminently. He never
was, of course,
that OffSeason.
04 ~ He then proceeded to launch on a
multiple post Tirade, heavily suffused with Insults, most'f'm directed at me. Mind you: there was a time when I would've Gone To The Mattresses in response to such a Provocation, but such explosive Diarrhea has for a long time only
amused me.
05 ~ Kenny B was kind enough to share
his observations of my Personality with me ~ and the rest of the World ~ and observed that I am, and I quote: "an Idiot, a Buffoon, a Narcissist, a Sanctimonious Prick, a Douche Bag, Disabled with Asperger's Syndrome, and a deluded, fat Loser, typing in his Pajamas." *
06 ~ I
defended myself, of course, and in light of such slanderous Defamation, I don't believe that anyone could
blame me for doing so. I firmly stated to Kenny B that he had misjudged me
egregiously, and I informed him,
in no uncertain terms, mind you, that in fact I
never wear Pajamas.
Haw.
07 ~ Seriously, though: Considering that I could've probably gotten'm
Banned for the Sewage that he spewed at me, if I bothered to report'm, I should've gotten a
Medal for my bemused Restraint.
Did I point and laugh at'm?? Hell,
Yeah. He was throwing a
legendary Tantrum, based
entirely on his idiotic misunderstanding of simple, basic English, and
flooding this Site with Insults!!
08 ~ So imagine my Disgust and
Rage when Mayo and two
other Clowns actually decided not to congratulate me or
thank me for not escalating things after Kenny B's hysterical ~ and
hysterical ~ attack on me, but actually
lectured me, as if I wasn't
historically restrained but actually
part of the Problem!!!
09 ~ It's one thing to hear that Garbage from those other two Clowns...but quite another to be publicly attacked by
Mayo, my erstwhile Partner in All Thing Draft Related. We've all got a bit of Arrogance about us, I believe, and Mayo certainly has many admirable Qualities...But it wasn't the
first time that I felt like he was posing as King Of The Forum and Arbiter Of All Things.
I am one arrogant Son of a ***** and ~
or so I hear ~ a bit'f a Sanctimonious Prick ~ but I've never presumed to set myself up as The Arbiter of Morality.
10 ~ It's not that if
felt like a Betrayal. It's that it
was a Betrayal. Nor was it the first time that Mayo had laid some bizarre behavior on me: Not even
close. Anyway: Mayo laid
all the Arrogance in his Soul on me, and did so in a Public Forum, seeking to belittle and humiliate me.
Thaaat's...not something that I'm inclined to suffer silently. So I
call'd'm on it.
Publicly. And then he
squealed. Like a Stuck Pig.
As The Great American Poet, James HetField, reminds us: People are like Batteries. There's a Positive Charge...And there's a
Negative Charge. I take a back seat to
no man in terms of being beset with
countless obnoxious and aberrant Behavioral Traits. Mayo and I had Differences, and I ultimately reached the point where I'd had enough...
But the World is far better with him in it.
And I, for one, would be
delighted if he returns.
* In all Fairness to Kenny B: The AssBurgers and the Pajamas were the
only parts he got wrong.
