Rick, I KNOW you meant me...my explanation...

Jason, it was a "senior moderator" that was doing the bashing. Not just someone "coming in". Sorry, I was going to mind my own business but this is kinda misleading.
First of all, no matter how you read into what I wrote , I would NEVER BASH Jason , or anybody else , for that matter. I might "bust his balls" to get Jason's attention, but never would I "bash" him. I have been SOOOO busy lately I haven't even had time for my daily or weekly conversation with him. I miss that.
This is partially my fault I admit, but with more happening then ever in my life, that is MY issue. But back to Jason. I did not and would not "bash" him. What the point of that post was meant to be was this. I Help out everybody who asks no matter what. I recieve about 6-10 emails a day complaining about just what has been expressed here or there regarding the chat room. They ALL KNOW I CARE AND TRY TO MAKE right so I get the call or email. Now, even with all going on, this does not bother me. What DOES BOTHER me is that I have to tell them all that there is NOTHING I can do and what I am told I can relay.
I just hate the feeling of somebody coming to me for help and I cannot do a thing to help them. Like a guy choking and you dont know the Hemlich Manuvere. I am so used to being able to make a call or change something on the board for them that when an issue arises , such as this, that I am helpless to them , this is what bothers me. They are like " Comon WE4 help us out"... Well If I could , Man, you know I would be right there. I know I made Jason mad, and that was NOT intentional.( But he loves me so he can't stay upset for long
) I figured he would call to fill me in, as like I will say for the 200th time, we are moving. PTS and my life are both shut down right now.
I will say I miss being around all you everyday. What I am dealing with now sucks . Being at other peoples whim (Contractors) is like THE WORST for me. The worst feeling is I dont know and not being able to even guess. The most disappointing thing is I have a very dear friend who needs a trans right now. I am shut down with no equipment right now. I feel so bad for him I just might send him mine own. That way at least he could run. But here is a guy who needs something so bad he is going through withdrawls and I cannot tell him exactly when I can do anything because the dumb (insert bleep) electricians forget the 3 phase power on the main plan . Now what exactly do I do? Have to be out of one place and cannot run in the other, none of which I control or have a choice. Just thinking about him makes me sick. Here he NEEDS me and I am helpless. How do you think I or we feel when we cannot help you or get you what you are asking for or requesting?
Well, it may not bother some , but it sure as hell bothers me. I walked into Amy's office this morning and there were 79 phonecalls for me to return since Tuesday. Anybody either want a job or willing to trade places with me? I am about ready to just go into a closed room and scream!. I apologize to whoever took what I wrote wrong but I did tell Jason about a month ago trouble was a brewin in there and we had to act. Then I got into all this and really havent been around other than the negative emails I have recieved and Chucky gettin mad at me.( Which BTW is one of the few people I dearly respect) If he only knew what the real deal is.
Mr Bob Hinson......You my friend , Have my deepest apologies and I feel very shamed that right this second I couldn't help you out. I will though, you can count on it. BT
Honestly, after all I do for this board and for people in general , I really thought everybody would understand I needed a month of "time off, time out" so to speak, to resolve this move and all the crap associated with it. I have learned that, the thought was wayyy off.
So sorry for any inconvience or hurt feelings.
I have been under tremendous stress lately and just saw this coming awhile back. I think Jason is a little disappointed too, in that he felt with all TB.com has had to offer in the past, he would be cut some slack over this chat problem thing too. But again, I think Jason was wrong also.
Rick.... Sorry if anything I said insulted you
Geezer... Lay up on me for a bit right now ...OK? Call me...
Jason, ... You know how I feel about you with both my respect and thankfulness for what you provide
Equalizer442... well... sit back and just listen to yourself... Read what you have written. You will figure it out in time.
jmidolo..... You have spoken to me... You know I am stand up and you are always welcome to contact. Cell or otherwise.
Rare T .... What's up man? How you been Ed?
Someday this will all be funny...just wish someday would hurry up and come.
