Then your example that Brandon knew Damon was using this site to groom victims isn't true. He knew of one instance that was reconciled.
Didn't someone here have some money stolen?

Damon will continue to screw us if we let HIS actions divide us. Nobody on here did anything wrong except be gullible. Including staff. And I hate the word "liable". Especially among Ags.

This has long been a frustration for many folks on here in most of the forums. The worst casualty of moments like these in our TA family is how easily we turn on each other. That part exasperates many of us. The sting of betrayal here is on Jorts. But if I respond with hatefulness towards another, that's on me.
This thread is complete nuts. I had no idea that any of this was going on or that people invested this much of their life in this site (owners aside).

I know some folks who used to, some who regret it and grew out of it and some who still do. Question is who's who?
We all know not to wrestle with pigs if you don't want to get muddy but there is a lot of pig wrestling in this thread.
The only hope is that some good can come from everyone's misfortune.

Thats what I just tried to say, only more succinctly and wisely. Exactly true Doc.
I found out when I made a rhetorical, what I thought was a joke, post about "firing" an Obama voter(which I never did) retracted my post on about the second page of the thread, and people wanted to destroy me, my family, and my business. People take this stuff very seriously.Pinche Abogado said:

I need to moderate my posts more closely. I thought (right or wrong) that most people posted on the forums for fun and more or less played a "version" of themselves.
This subject was being discussed on 2 different FB groups before it was posted here. That I know of. I bet a fair half dozen other places are discussing now.
Personally, I'd prefer to let the events of 2014-15 be bygones.

Oh my lord! I remember that, Doc! Lol, I never told you it's okay, I got another job cooking fries shortly thereafter.
it isn't the posters, it's the people watching who don't post. You dhave by knownwho those people are.dermdoc said:I found out when I made a rhetorical, what I thought was a joke, post about "firing" an Obama voter(which I never did) retracted my post on about the second page of the thread, and people wanted to destroy me, my family, and my business.

True. Good point. I just don't take to kindly to getting crapped on by people who really don't know me. I'll try to be better.
This is definitely true. Moderators need to not be their "own personality" on the boards that will argue, instigate, say whatever they want, and then when people disagree with them... people who have no idea that the person they are responding to is a mod, then takes offense and bans them.ArcticPenguin said:
Should folks know who mods are? Yes, they should - because it would explain the inconsistencies in moderation and more importantly the obvious biases that account for the inconsistencies.
The mods need to be made public. Their role should not allow them blanket anonymity to participate in threads and then be immune to repercussions, or use their power just because they don't agree with someone or because they got their feelings hurt.
You're good people derm, but that post was never cloaked in a hint of thought that it was a joke. It was delivered and read as the extreme opposite of that.
What the internet did to you was completely uncalled for though. That was a a tough lesson for you but probably a very valuable one to MANY on not just TA but the internet.

Yup. Just walk away and leave all that back where it was.
Things are different. We all learned a lot and that's okay. Some of it sucked. That's just the way life goes.

Can we get a running list of people here defending him so that I know who's trashy and who's not?
Is there a trashy but not defending option? Cuz that's me.

That's the thing. Many, probably most, of those who defended him in the past sure as hell aren't now.
Last point: for those that have been swindled, I recommend filing a grievance with the state bar of Texas.
I'm an attorney (and only generally familiar with this process), but the State Bar has a Client Security Fund for people who have been the victim of fraud by a practicing attorney.

RIP Charpie
And...a predictable group of people have predictably pushing the thread back towards a "I like the place" and "they say mean stuff about the same people I do, let's lay off" conversation...it's all coming full circle.

Who has defended him? I haven't seen anybody.
People on the same side of the argument are arguing here somehow
Oh, I want everyone who was swindled by Damon to post. I just think it's stupid for the rest of us to fight.
We've done that plenty and the results don't change.

Most of Damon's swindling was personal and not legal.
Calling for money because his bank account was frozen for one reason or another. Or do rounding he had money coming his way and just needed a stop gap loan to make it there.
Agree. One of my problems is that folks do not know when I am joking and telling the truth. My family, wife, employees, and patients tell me that all the time and warn me about what I say. I do not take much very seriously.Bunk Moreland said:

I know some folks who used to, some who regret it and grew out of it and some who still do. Question is who's who?
I know where you fall. No worries.

He's not going to. Surprised at how this site has protected him.
He's an Aggie and our friend. Get the **** out of here with that. We'll back him up and support him for life. People can figure it out. We'll never give up on one of our own.
Heres one

Total aside, but casting a smirking, knowing side eye glance at Trouble. You know I love you lady!
Except less booze
Same. I tell my staff all the time now that most communication has gone back to the written word via email etc... You never know how someone will choose to read your words so make damn sure you do your best that they read into em how you want them to.
