this is what happened for all you that didnt know but wanted to add your bull comments
when i first came on here i was trying to build up an old school bike, everytime i tried to bid on ebay i was outbit due to rich collectors that didnt need the stuff but wanted it anyway for their old school warehouse in their loft
rom, bill & some other kind people on here donated some parts to start me off, i started building a couple of bikes, i helped alot of other people out in that time aswell so dont just think i was here to take things...
then i ran into some very bad luck, i shattered my leg, lost my wife, lost my job, lost house, ended up owing thousands of pounds out, i had court letters, balliffs at the door etc, i had to sell everything that i owned to get out of the mess, i also had to go back to doing crime which i didnt want to do to try pay off these things
this upset alot of people but i didnt care as i had to get by...
now for the other thing about the other site comments, somebody was talking about old schoolers, anyway i piped in by saying "why do they have all these amazing bikes which were made to be ridden but never get rode, instead the sit in their lofts w@nking over them"
this caused a stir which started an arguement in which words were exchanged, most of them were just said in the heat of the moment & alot of people joined in without knowing the whole story.....
anyway i appologised to the people that i needed to...
i dont bear grudges & if one of my friends or one of you were in the same situation i wouldnt get upset as you need to look after yourself at the end of the day..
so there it is, take it as you like as i dont really care, i just needed to tell it how it is & i wont be replying to any comments left after this...

I don't understand why you had to resort to crime - why not get a job? Seems to me that there's plenty of work out there if you're willing?

i had just got all the pins out of my leg, i dont have any qualifications, i was working but it didnt earn enough, didnt even come close to what i needed, & dont say im lazy as i was working 3 jobs soon as i had my pins taken out, remember this was on nearly a year, the leg still isnt right, does that explain it??
sorry if ive upset you but i was desperate so i hate to take desperate measures

You can say whatever you like, but as far as Im concerned, I gave you a good few parts that Bill took up to bones with him, you did not even bother to PM me to thank me, then you sell the whole bike on ebay. I know if I was desperate & someone helped me out, I would go out of my way to find out who they were, thank them & try to pay them back at some point.

We have all done things that we aint proud of, I think this should have been history a long while ago, what is the point of bearing grudges? life is too short too worry about things we did in the past. Weston has always said it like sees it, if you dont like then steer clear, or better still lets just forget it. I done a few things I aint proud of, and I have noticed a few people who no longer talk to me, I accept that, its their choice, its a shame but no one ever knows the full story before taking sides, shame but thats life :-\

I would respond to this but am ignoring Tony :LolLolLolLol:

[/quotei dont know what you gave me as nothing had any names on, there was the f&f, some crank arms & some bars, that was it, if i knew what you had gave me you wouldve been thanked, if you actually got to know me you would know that, im grateful for everything that was given to me, people have just blown this out of the water when they didnt know the facts, sorry if i missed you out but i didnt know who gave what...
-
you did what you needed to do by your own admission, but some people still feel aggreived by what they perceive as being fooked over...
also, no offence, but you seem bitter towards rich collectors who buy stuff at market value, outside of your budget? is that their fault or yours?
you also have an issue with people showing people preferential treatment on this site( the reason for this thread in the first place), when you were originally part of the 'clique' and benefitting from it?
other than that thread, i've not seen anyone berate you at all....maybe the thread was a bit narrow minded considering the past?
i dont know you, and am not a judgemental type, but you kind of invited this situation upon yourself based on the title of the thread is all i'm saying...
and if you dont want people to pipe in when they dont know the full story, dont discuss them on a public forum....
oh!, and as a matter of courtesy, please dont threaten to break my nose, its busted enough as it is, and i'm ugly enough as it is, and you will only make me angry.....you wont like me when i'm angry...

We have all done things that we aint proud of, I think this should have been history a long while ago, what is the point of bearing grudges? life is too short too worry about things we did in the past. Weston has always said it like sees it, if you dont like then steer clear, or better still lets just forget it. I done a few things I aint proud of, and I have noticed a few people who no longer talk to me, I accept that, its their choice, its a shame but no one ever knows the full story before taking sides, shame but thats life :-\
I think members have been more than happy to leave history where it was and welcome a past member back on site.
But I suppose when criticism is levelled at what is after all a BMX community from a person who has previously gained from the support that this community offers it is unsurprising that members wish to defend themselves and how they choose to deal with members when trading. Like all communities, the site and members interactions are held together by trust, respect, reputation, sharing common bonds and values.
I think members are happy to move on and not bear grudges however when they feel like their being criticised they have the right to point out reasons why they feel justifed in defending themselves and that will inevitably involve bringing up their past dealings with a member on site. You don't always have to know someones full story to have a feeling for that person as actions speak louder than words. No matter what circumstances are (and there are members on here have probably shared those times) people who have a right to feel that there are some things that they still would not do no matter what.

Is that room a vacuum hence the need for the respirator :LolLolLolLol: (S6 is it?)

cheers bill,
interesting to read the other side of all that, i always wondered what happened on here,
apart from a few vitriol-laced comment i made the whole thing was nothing really to do with me apart from hookoing up with you and the conversations we had on the "other" forum,
crazy stuff like, :-\
-
Yeah I know what you mean Joe, that archive thats been put up is a bit hard to follow as the quote boxes are not shown :police:
-
joe, we had some pretty nasty arguments in the past over what seems like insubstantial matters now.
when the forum banter died down, we had out own way of sorting stuff out, and i still thank you for your help and knowledge.
weston, I just cant suss you out.
you did some pretty strange stuff on the forum, i dont give a fook about you reasons, its not fookin samaritans, if you had hard times, that is a direct consequence of your actions, and to say otherwise is the pussy way out.
i stuck up for you several times, stuck my neck out, so why did you come back? and when you did decide to come back, why did you have to start criticising a forum that has been like a surrogate mother to you?
i tell you man, you reap what you sow.
-
the favouritism thing was meant as a joke but once again some touchy peeps who take things too serious started again, thats why this thing has blown up again, some peeps just cant let things go, i thank everyone who was on my side but really peeps need to chill, peeps can come ride with me anytime, anyones welcome up here & i'll put anyone up who wants to stop & have a day at all of leeds great street spots, the offer is also open for peeps to come sort out their differences as there is only few people who actually know me as a person....

and i still thank you both for giving a brother a second shot,
i know was a bit of a "hot-potatoe" when i first joined the forum,
like one rad member said....
"maybe you just dont get the old school joe, when something pisses you off why not just switch off for a while" :LolLolLolLol:
-
Joe having been a member of the old ride forum and seeing the way that the members spoke, well swore and abused each other, it was no surprise that it took a little while for you to fit in to our way of doing things, but your a credit to the forum now imo :daumenhoch:
And Weston thats almost exactly what you said last time :police:
-
man, thats no longer an issue.
only mentioned it because you were included in some of the links i have posted up.
weston.......honestly, why did you come back?
i dont know you that well, seen you at a couple of meets, but not talked at length.
If I would have taken the 12 page booting you got last time, i would have figured that there was a conflict of interests somewhere.....
my honest opinion is to post some good bmx related stuff, pics and posts, and be a part of the community.
trying to pedal your stuff on here or ask for any more favours just aint gonna cut it.
i honestly cant be arsed to bear a grudge, get inolved with the bmx side of things, contribute to dicusssions, im sure it can be sorted.
-
This is Westons original post on the old ride forum that he posted up before any of the other stuff started :
ive been bmxing for over 20yrs & class myself as an old schooler but when i go onto these old school sites what up with them? arogant big headed twats that think they are god & know everthing, what a bunch of old ****s, old men on kids bikes taking everything too serious, its fun at the end of the day, we are just riding bikes & doing tricks for fun, when it gets to the point when you are that serious its time to stop..
anyway, old schoolers.nobheads(most of them)
And that was a joke too :police:
-
in my air of fairness, i was choosing to ignore that......lol

This is a link to the whole topic, and its not bad either :daumenhoch:
