William Pitt, cynatnite, and everybody else who's angry, listen to me!
Just please listen for a second:

When things settle down a bit, ask Ben Burch, or goodboy, or SFexpat, or Mr Scorpio what was the ONE thing I advised them to do during the last flap with scamdy and that other "W-K" site--and they listened to me, and it worked.

Or send a PM, though I can't promise a reply before Sunday unless I can send one in the next half-hour; tomorrow's going to be real busy around here.

I don't claim to know everything or to be able to do as much as you all can, but you're not thinking about the ONE essential precept you, and I, and all of us MUST remember in a situation like this.

And understandably so; we tend to lose track of some things in the emotional heat of a moment like the last 24 hours have been.

It's essential, this one thing. If we don't do it, our goals become more difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish. It's pretty simple, so for obvious reasons, I can't post it here.

I'd send you all PMs with this, but they would get lost in the flood of PMs you're probably all getting right now.

I'll wait to hear from you.

5. I said to contact me via PM, because I'm not saying it in public.
And thanks for the kind remark in the last sentence. I'm trying to help here, and if you don't think I can, you don't need to make disparaging remarks. You can just ignore my post if you want to.

9. okay, my apology first
i'm angry, but i'm not holding my breath...ie. someone pitching a tantrum, i'm not. I want to make my anger do something concrete, postiive.

It wasn't meant to be aimed at you. I have read your posts here, and know your intent is genuine.

and i thought it was a message/advice you had for Pitt, cytanite only, so wasn't expecting a reply. Hell, i gave up on expecting replies a while ago.

so, if you can accept that, i will now PM you with a request. Answer if you have the time.

peace

Thank you. I'm going to pop open a cold one and toast someone I've never met, but is still inspirational :toast:

15. Oh, good. I was worried that people would expect that I had
more to offer than what I did have.

I am glad you found it valuable. We're all on the same side here, and I'm just trying to offer a small amount of help.

4. Note to mods: I am NOT advocating anthing illegal or violent,
just strategic advice. If you have concerns, please contact me via PM or email and I'll tell you what I'm telling the others.

I don't want you to be worried that I'm caught up in an emotional frenzy or anything.

8. They can read your pms, you know
Everything is recorded and may be read. FYI. No need to send a PM to the board admins - they know what you're doing already.

I don't understand why the subterfuge is necessary. Would you explain about that in more detail? Surely once whatever you ask people to do is done, the recipient will know of it anyway. Why the secrecy?

12. Because DUers are not the only ones who read these posts.
I'm not hiding anything from the mods and admins; just reassuring them that I'm trying to cool things down a bit , not trying to heat anything up.

17. This is correct
The other day I posted a DU that poll and immediately results were on our side. By the next day they were reversed.

Also, I took a few steps into freeper territory and that other lowlife - Fred Grandy? - who set on destroying Andy - and they were copying and pasting threads from here going back to February.

19. Folks, I gotta go now. Long day tomorrow. I'll answer
any further PMs on Sunday, or you can ask any of the respondents to this thread to pass my message along, if they think it was a worthwhile one.

I do hope I've made a positive contribution. I know the last two days have been rough for us all.

Redstone

(Go easy, Andy. We'll not forget.)
