I'm taking a break from eating puppies to say hi!
« on: April 11, 2009, 12:50:32 AM »
Actually, reports of me eating puppies are grossly exaggerated! I only eat puppies on days ending in “Y”.

But seriously, hi there! Been a while! I just wanted to stop in and say hi, as some friends and long time customers have asked for my return. I have nothing against Amiga.org and have never publicly stated I was leaving here. I did say so in private out of frustration to a couple friends, but cooler minds than my own at the time prevailed. I'm not going to touch that last thread but to say I apologize to the casual reader who made have taken offense to my comments. I think they were grossly taken out of context, but that what matters is the outcome of those comments. After some time for reflection I've decided to remove anyone added to my eBay blocked bidder list involved in that mess, with the exception of 2 people who left malicious false negative feedback directly causing the loss of $350 in Power Seller discounts. I am lifting this because I know that I was part of the problem, partially due to stresses of offline life. I also know I am not alone in offline stresses, so I will not hold a grudge. Life can and will be ugly to everyone at some point. If you try to buy or bid on something and find yourself blocked, message or email me to let me know. After 12+ years on eBay as a seller, I have a very long blocked bidder list and the vast majority have nothing to do with recent events.

Going forward you will probably see much less casual posting from me, if and when I do post will be mostly business related. My personal hobby time is becoming more limited, so free time is getting mostly allocated to C= 8bit.

Thank you for your time.

Wow, glad to see you back Jim! I'd like to publicly & privately state that the entire thread did get out of hand, some assumptions were made on my part and I apologise for the contribution of "running you off". Never meant for the straits to become that dire. You coming back and removing most of your blocked bidder list is surely an important and mature thing. For both A.org and personally. I hope this proves we can put the past behind finally and move forward.

Oh and I wish I had been allowed to be a part of the bidding on that A1000 w/ Rejuvenator you had a little while back. Oh well  :lol:

Welcome back. I guess time does heal all, or maybe partially.

Theology, by Paul Dunbar

There is a heaven, for ever, day by day,
the upward longing of my soul doth tell me so.

There is a hell,
I am quite as sure; for pray,
if there were not,
where would my neighbors go?

Thanks a lot Frank, I am sorry too. It all simply got out of hand and my head was not in the right place. You have already been removed from my blocked bidder list and obviously I would be thrilled to have you as a customer one day.
