Friends

[realfathertime]

This is an essay, directed at no one in particular. But it is appropriate.



Friends tell their friends when they are getting carried away. When they misinterpret something. When they are getting overwrought.



Friends don't humor their friends' wild whims and tantrums to stay in good with them. They level with them and try to work things out, find solutions.



Friends see when their friends are deeply hurting and try to soothe them. They don't try to cheer them on to create an even more stressful situation.



I've watched how so-called friends treat certain people they feel can help them with their careers and whatnot. They will not try to penetrate their "friend"'s fog. One time, a few months ago, someone went all around one time claiming I said something yet it was a total misread and everyone knew it, all his "friends" knew it. But they would not tell him. It was more important for them to keep good relations with him than it was to be honest to him. Some people have a large amount of friends who say yes yes yes to everything they do, for their own questionable reasons. Me, I would have told him the score. It is not a friend who lets their friend go out on a weak limb rather than set him straight.



Are you a true friend ? Or are you wanting to be seen as one ?

I cannot help but feel this is directed at me

Well, it's about Mike, directed at all his friends. Jon moreso. And the others who weren't upfront with him a few months ago when he was posting everywhere that I apologized after I was actually asking for an apology from him. No one wants to level with him at all. Has anyone tried to tell him other than me that Blumberg is perhaps somebody he shouldn't be associating with ? I doubt it. Nobody ever looked out for Mike the way I did, in fact. I just read an Email exchange I had with him and another party back in September where he could've ended up in jail had I not talked him down.



Does he have any friends who talk him down now ? He should. Read my Email when you get a chance, Chris.



I do not want anyone to side with me. I just want someone to reason with the dude and have for days now. Someone who talks loud enough to outshout Blumberg in his ear.

""Has anyone tried to tell him other than me that Blumberg is perhaps somebody he shouldn't be associating with ? I doubt it.""

Well, well, well........... There you go again.



Typical for a psychopath. It is you that nobody should be associating with as you are a snake, and a scorpion. Now he's tryong to kiss Mike's butt. But Mike is too smart to trust you again Scott, it won't work.

[Blumberg]

He wouldn't have ended up "in jail if not for you".



I tried to assist you in getting featured as I know that I could have and you spit in my face.



Your heart is black Scott, and you prove it daily. You are still a nut case just like before, the truth came out even with your best efforts to keep it covered. You are in everything for yourself Scott, the whole FU thing is to get attention to yourself and get back at Rod U for dropping your sorry behind.

I thought this thread could do with a big smile!

[Blumberg]

Ya see, Mike is a friend, a real friend not a friend out of convienence like yours are scott.

"the whole FU thing is to get attention to yourself and get back at Rod U for dropping your sorry behind"



You need to look into this, David, it's wacked. You can find out how FU started by reading the announcement thread on our bbs. I got no problem at all with Rod. That was resolved before there ever was an FU.

I have to say William's post is the best thing I've read on this thread - so here's the great pic again:
