Default APOLOGY TIME - to/re gdh - please read

I put up a joke thread yesterday about gdh being 73-454. It was a Saturday night tongue-in-cheek humorous (I thought) post about a guy, gdh, that we all know as a long-time valuable member of this forum. He is a fun guy with a good sense of humour so I mistakenly thought everyone who read that thread would have know that it was in fun.

1bad69, PrairieShark, Fevre (2 of which know gdh personally) understoof it for what it was. Some of you others apparently didn't and emailed and IMed him what I guess was a bunch of BS.

For the record, it was a joke - the kind I have been known to make amongst friends for as long as they have known me. I am sorry it has caused enough of an apparent mess for a good member to take a walk.

Anyone who's been around a while would have known you were joking. Both gdh & georgie were well known and could be easily distinguished by their posts & rhetoric. It was hard for 73-454 to hide even when he came back in disguise....that type of personality immediately surfaces.

If anything, I think the'd(gdh & 73-454) would be opposites. :yesnod:

The big difference between gdh and George is that gdh's ZR1 is #'s matching, while George's 73 is not! :lol: :jester

Yeah, but it's still original :). I gotta admit that there are times that I miss ol' Georgy though. You have to give him credit for having an answer, and the same answer, to every question. "Your car is a rusted out piece of crap" :).

I'm sorry that some didn't take this for what it was, a joke. Greg is a great guy, and Flavio to. I hope all will be well soon. I'm assuming that some sent some nasty emails to Greg.

Flav

I still think it's true. :)

Don't sweat it, you got bigger (or should I say littler) things to think about. Look forward to seeing pics of the new addition to the family. But you better take pics of her in the vette so you aren't going off topic. :troll

Did somebody leave over that post? I guess I read it and thought it to be nothing but a joke and didn't think anything of it. What's the rest of the story here?

I think we should have our first ever C3 charity percentage point drive. All of the percentage points raised will go to Desertdawg. :lol: Maybe we can even hook up with a moderator and get a point for point match. :D :cheers:

Dunno - but I missed it too.
Cabin fever is setting in at the forum.
Hold out guys, it was almost 50 here today.

It sounds like a big misunderstanding, and I hope gdh stays around.
:cheers:

I think a new label more derogatory than TROLL has been coined, "73-454" Perhaps a new smile face type character can be created to depict this title.

I read both the posts, although I didn't get to read what Flav's initial post had in it.

It kinda makes me wonder based on the e-mail's/IM's that GDH received what kind of society we really do live in. Plus the mentality of some of the members of the forum, as far as I'm concerned all those who sent threatening IM's/e-mails should be banned, we don't need it here or anywhere for that matter.

Just my .02, and gdh - enjoy the time away with family :cheers:

Banned, and the emails ought to be forwarded to the authorities.
