You guys are hilarious - Like you could do any better....and if so do it, by all means the more the merrier.
For a guy who seems to want everyone to drop the issue, you do pretty damn good at keeping it alive.
I tried to get my point across weeks ago that we should all drop it. Then I left, and I came back and you're all still acting like idiots. If you don't like the guy you don't like him, what can I say? But what sense does it make to constantly debate the issue? I think Simon has about had it with us all, and I think we should respect what appears to be his wishes and go on to something productive for a change.
***I have no idea who's right or wrong, and no amount of arguing will ever give us the answer. The secret behind this entire mess will go to the graves of both men I imagine. But who are we to say one is telling the truth and one is not? Are we some kind of God's that know all?***
May I suggest to you, that your above statement so misses the whole point. It no longer is as simplistic as answering 'who said what', the endless discussion, you claim to despise, is now predicated on Bill Bowen's inability to accept anyone's, ANYONE'S view(s) that differ from his. And I will add a Period to that!
It's true that Bill is very opinionated, but I think if you got to know him, you'd find this statement to be false. You certainly don't get as far as silentlambs has with a wussy at the helm, this is what it takes. Perhaps Bill is a little overwhelming, I won't dispute that, but come on, aren't we all? We've all been through alot, and rather than lend support to one another, we rip each other apart. Just like the Society says we will. Now shouldn't we all be proud? I bet you, that a good 80% of the threads on this board contain at least one derogatory remark by one that should be here to support another.....and it just doesn't seem to work the right way..
His demeanor throughout this whole charade, has been nothing short of fanatical, in his quest to strongarm those who do not see thing's his way. Even asserting that Jehovah God see's things his (Bill's) way.
Believe me, I've been working on the website for weeks, it takes a little fanaticism to keep your sanity, and even then it's not easy. No-one puts forth this much effort without it. I don't see you doing anything, maybe you could learn a thing or two. (maybe you are doing something beside bitching up a storm, I have no idea really)
If you or other defender's of this eccentric can excuse this sort of blatant meism, then do so freely. To expect or demand that other's drop this issue is haughty and very self centered. Who are you to dictate what we discuss or consider important?
I didn't say I was his defender, as a matter of fact I said the complete opposite. I'm defending the cause for crying out loud - damn, some people around here need to learn to read.
I suggest you return to Bill's site, Iam fairly sure you will hear only what tickels your ear's there.
How nice of you to suggest what I should do......
Look, I've said it before, you don't have to like the guy to agree with the cause, and if you don't like the guy and don't agree with the cause then why even bother with it? If we all spent this much time and effort doing something worthwhile we might get someplace here. But to each his own I guess......by all means go ahead, keep up this constant bickering that's surely helping someone, otherwise all you kind hearted people wouldn't be doing it right?
That's all I have to say. Out of respect for Simon, I will not talk about this anymore. He surely didn't build this wonderful place for us to ruin it, and I for one apologize Simon, I don't know how you keep your sanity.
Ok, let it rip guys, tear me to shreds you kind hearted wackos
