Daniel,

If the EYE itself is swollen (the eye ball) go to the ER now.

If it's the skin around the eye, then Ice and 800 mg Ibuprofen if it hurts.

IB is a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID), it will help with both direct pain and pain due to the body's response that causes the swelling of tissues around the injured area.

Don't forget to take pictures and post them.

 

What about a dumb smart ***.

 

This is very true.

 

then the dumb and smart even out, so you're just an ***

 

That was hilarious. I'm sure he deserved it... but I guess now we have to assume cops can't take the finger. LoL

 

To make this public and shed some truth to a situation that has been biting away at me like a bath of piranhas, lets do this, and it will be long, sorry.

Jeff has always had something against me, one day I asked for an IP check to a member who had 1 post because that's what moderators do, he used that as an excuse to go ballistic on me, even after I apologized about 5 times, apologized for something I didn't even have to apologize for! He got some of his friends to attack me further and corner me, after many, many posts insulting me in various ways, I snapped and said some pretty harsh things to him (only after he insulted me to the point of snapping). Not only did all the members who saw that thread agree that he was going way overboard for no reason, but the moderators had to step in on my behalf even though HE WAS a moderator at the time and I wasn't. I admitted to my mistake of snapping after I was corned, and I tried apologizing even further because I liked Jeff and thought he was a great contributor to this site, and I still think he is. I don't know why he dislikes me so much, I've never been anything but respectful to him, both online and in real life. We've hung out a few times in real life and I thought we were friends, but for some reason he didn't like me, perhaps because of something I did to him, but I even asked him privately before all this went down if I did something to anger him and that if I did I apologized, but he never answered me which makes me assume that I did something to make him angry in the past, something indirect, I tried to make it better because I valued his friendship and wanted us to be friends. He chose to do something that I never expected, I always saw him as a nice guy and I never thought he was capable of insulting someone in such a manner, and repeatedly without provoking him at all. It puzzled me greatly and it was so bad that after a while I had to take defense and say something, but I regret saying anything and I should have just kept quiet instead of being childish in my response. (It took a while for me to respond that way, I tried to be diplomatic because I still considered him a friend and know that saying something online can be difficult to fully convey intent, but as any human, I had my limit and said some childish things, and I've apologized MANY times now and without response or anything. He hasn't said sorry nor has he tried to fix this. He's involved MANY people in this and even talked people out of going to BAM because of how much he hates me. I think that's beyond unreasonable and it's been taken far too seriously. If you want to hate me, so be it, but to make people not go to BAM because of their hate for me, that's just not right. BAM exists so that members can have fun, not because I get anything out of it. The only thing I have to do with BAM is organizing it, it's not my event, it's your event, I only help set it up for you guys. By not going to BAM you're only depriving yourself from going the oldest and one of the largest subaru annual events in the nation. Just because I organize it doesn't mean you need to see or talk to me. It's also a charity event so all the funds go to homeless animals.

I want to publicly apologize one last time to Jeff and let him know that I'm really bummed that our friendship had to go south, but I really wish that we could step up to the plate and be friends again. We're both grown up and this feud is really silly. I just want to get along and offer you my friendship, I will do nothing but treat you with respect, all I want is your respect in return. I wish this had never of happened and am still a little confused as to why it happened in the first place.

I know there are quite a few of you that don't like my online persona, and I don't blame you, especially since I'm a moderator. Being a mod is tough and a lot of people will lose respect for you because of it. If you knew me in real life you'd know that I am not ANYTHING like I am online. I'm really sarcastic and try to make people laugh as much as possible, when you combine that with online personas, it's really tough to understand someone because sarcasm is really difficult to convey accurately. I'm really sorry to anyone I've offended online, I didn't mean it on a personal level, it's just online jargon. I try not to judge anyone by their online personas because I know how hard it is to accurately understand someone by their posts. It takes a while to get used to being a moderator, I've been one for about 7 years and in those years a lot of people have bumped heads with me because I enforced the site's rules which can be really unpleasant, because of that I changed the way I moderate, I stopped being a "yard duty" and tried being a member and only iterfering when absolutely necessary. I even stopped being a moderator because it interfered with real life friendships with people which wasn't pleasant in any way. The only reason I started being a mod again is because BAIC needed help with keeping threads in good shape, and all I do really is move threads and fulfill peoples requests (like changing a threat title or something).

The whole point of this post is to inform you guys of what happened and to stop the rumors of how evil I am. If you've ever met me you'll know that I'll treat you with absolute respect (unless you do something really bad like abuse an animal or something) and that I'm nothing like I am online, I understand how people misunderstand me because this is all they see, but ask anyone that knows the real me, I've gained some of the best friends in my life on this site, and have many great friends still, how would that be possible if I was so bad? I'm just really sorry that I've gotten off on the wrong foot with people, I just ask that you don't take me so seriously online. I'm really bummed about what happened with rescuer and I. What happened, happened, I can't change that, but we can forgive each other and go on by respecting each other. You don't have to be my friend, but why be my enemy? I'm openly asking for you to accept my apology for the post where I insulted you with childish insults, but everyone who read it knows that it wasn't said for no reason, it was a childish defense and I should have been more mature and said nothing, but live and learn I suppose. It's sad that people (who have been my online friends/acquaintances in the past now won't even attend BAM because I'm organizing it, because they took sides thanks to nasty rumors that are not true at all.). We're all grown up and all I ask is that we all get along. In my years here I've changed a lot, and as time goes by I'll get more mature and understand the community better. I was unaware of a lot of things until recently and I had no idea that my online persona could be so "rough", but I'll work on it and try to keep everyone in consideration. I'm sorry if I've offended you or been rough to you, I really don't mean it, it was mainly failed sarcasm and people misunderstanding my persona, I just want you guys to know that. Please lets all act mature and try our best to understand that we're online and things said here are not the same as real life, so taking this literally is a big mistake. Like I said, I'll try my best to change the way I interact with people and try to be more mature. I used to know everyone in BAIC personally, we were a small community and we all knew each other on a friend level. Everyone knew how sarcastic and goofy I was so I figured everyone would understand my online persona, well as the club grew more people joined and now I don't know but a small percentage of you, yet I still thought you guys knew the real me which would explain my online persona quite a bit (goofy and not serious, I make everything into a joke). So here's to getting along.

In short, I'd like to publically aplogize to Jeff for my immature response to the altercation that transpired for whatever reason, I shouldn't have responded to it but I felt cornered and it happened, it's the past and I'm sorry. I've offered you my friendship but you ignored me because perhaps you weren't ready and still mad, but it's been a while and I figured we could stop this out once and for all. We're both adults and I hope we can fix this diplomatically. I hope we can continue our lives by respecting each other as I have nothing against you, and anything I did has been forgotten. There's no reason to disrespect each other man, can't we just forget it all?

I have no ill intentions and I'd appreciate it if we could keep this clean and friendly. If you have any ill words to me, please PM me and keep it off the public board, if anything BAIC doesn't need anymore negativity.

In the words of Rodney King, Can't we all just get along?



(Damn, that was long, I wouldn't have taken the time to write that if I didn't mean it. That's all the honest truth, if you have any doubts, you can ask the other moderators that witnessed the entire thing. I hate to bring anyone else into this but Jeff wont hear me when I write to him in person, I'm hoping we can resolve this in a public venue to prove that I care enough to spill my guts out in public. As you all know, I DON'T do this sort of thing, not ever, that says quite a bit, why else would I apologize if I wasn't sorry that the whole thing happened?)

Can a mod just move the to a thread with that title?

 

 

Sorry man, I need this in the public eye for at least a little while due to the stuff that's going around about me, I had to make things clear and let the truth be said.


Lets focus on that guy that ran up to that rental cop... hahahah, I laughed for a good 30 seconds of straight laughter... Guy got soooo pwn3d!

 

Don't know where that response from brucelee fits into any response from rescuer. Did rescuer snap you in the eye with the towel bruce?

 

Nah, it didn't fit in, but thats the first response he's had to me since the altercation, so I figure if he's responding he's listening and I wanted my word in instead of everyone of his friends just bashing me.

I just want some positivity for once.

 

wish that was posted before the book. Just went back and read every single reply in this thread to find out what he said.

 

wow that was a long post.

 

cliffnotes please

 

I'm here for the gangbang?
