I know this is probably below the belt, but for some reason, I feel like saying it anyway.... I like to make the Rydaddy, Weekend Dirs and some others happy, so they can go on thinking their small thoughts and displaying them here for others to see.
I first thought Fred was just letting Addie remain here because of fairness, until I was also possibly banned for something. I then understood Fred's wisdom or insight for allowing members/people the chance to rescind their ways and become whole again. So far, Addie hasn't done this. Perhaps he will,
but not yet. Then I asked if we could keep Addie around for a Christmas present because he's so much like a new puppy Christmas morning.... you know.....eating everything in site, throwing up, and crapping and pooping all over the place. As you train him, and show him his thoughtless ways, he begins to mend his bad habits and eventually does as he's told. As for Addie, he just hasn't learned one skill yet. Are we hard on him ?? Yes, in order to try to invite him into a community and become a member who is willing to work among his peers and have the decency to be upstanding and truthful among those peers.
However, I'm starting to see another side to this whole ordeal. I believe Addie has been allowed to stay as an example to the many others.... what
NOT to do in business or in being a member here at s101.
Out of almost 2,000 posts in just a little over a year, probably 1,800 to 1,900 are of argumentative, back-pedaling, lies and/or negative content. He is a wonderful person to look up to as to
WHAT NOT TO BECOME in any theater.
here's to ya, Addie, for being the person you are.
I knew I could count on you and Gino to straighten that out (oh, and Merritt too. Didn't see that one coming.)
and very interesting!
