Throughout all of this, I remain quit.
Well Ag, I didn't really want to post in your Intro cause I don't think the two of us should be in the same room together right now. Too much animosity. It's bad for the community as a whole.
You came at me late yesterday evening (I'm on the East Coast) in three different formats, PM, your Intro, and my HOF group, April 12. Just blatant outright rage targeted directly at me for something that I said in passing to your friend whom you persuaded to join KTC to kick her Nic smoking addiction. Ok, so the maybe the narrative rubbed a little salt in the wound. I did it, I can't take it back. As for your friend, worthy cause, I respect you for attempting to help your friend quit the addiction. I also agree with you or "stipulate" that KTC is a male dominated place. Those are the facts counsel, I'm sorry that you had to learn it the hard way. Either way, targeting your embarrassment and frustration directly at me was just plain raw dude. But you know what counsel? I'm a quitter, I quit like fuck, I can take your rage and then some if that's what needs to be done to protect your quit. You may say that you've stayed 110% strong through this drama, but man, if you're anything like me then this shit has been eating you up inside. I had to write this post, it was killing me. But I wanted you to sleep on it first. You had to let some of that shit out last night and I got targeted. Fine. I am ready to move the fuck on down the golden quit road.
We can move past that, because I too am a trial lawyer and this could quite literally go on until the KTC Judges bang their mighty gavel and yell "Enough!"
I was under the impression that we had agreed to cease and desist last night and I respected that agreement. But it appears the judge of public opinion, we'll call them the "jury," have made their opinion known and you have relented a bit in your previous rage fueled statements (which I anticipated). I respect you counsel, I respect you as a quitter, I respect you for your efforts with Lulou. Trying to help someone rid themselves of the nic addiction is always a worthy cause. In this case, maybe it just wasn't meant to be. To become a quitter, people have to be in the right mindset. Day One and each day after that takes bravery, heart, toughness and strength. I suppose we could say the same thing about giving birth. When you put it that way, Day One is the closest us dudes will ever get to the feeling of pure agony (quitting) followed by the pure joy (staying quit) of childbirth. I respect women. Believe me I do. But sometimes......a guy has just gotta hang with the guys. Capice?
Of course, we could agree that there be no rebuttal to this post. The arguments have been heard, all of the evidence has been presented, yet the jury is at an impasse. It's a hung jury (no jokes please), the KTC Judges have declared a mis-trial.
Does the Plaintiff wish to proceed with another trial?
