He's also got a real history of coming clean. Did you not see Velostrada Issue Number One - Second Chances? There were a whole bunch of folks that gave him grief when he had it coming. That was then, this is now. Water under the bridge as far as they're concerned.
Problem is Wax..there are plenty of others who have "come clean" and yet they are still haunted by their past. Such as Jonas..and Patrick etc. Why is that Matt who was perhapd the biggest lyer in F-chat history allowed to continue to bash others? Why is it that he can continue to go unchecked with his remarks and rtorical comments to almost everything?
Finally, comments from a Tom that makes sense in this thread! F-1's post while positive and very factual, couldn't be farther from the truth as far as Matt is concerned. Regarding TB's post, did it ever occur to you or others that some people are more than just a bit of dirty laundry? When Matt makes mistakes, he has set things right. We have yet to see that from a particular female on here. I wouldn't know because they have been recently put on ignore. Why keep pissing into the wind? Take advantage of the ignore feature, thats what is there for. Well said, Wax.
Its fun to stir the pot. We've all got a bit of dirty laundry - I try to take people for more than their face value. There is a difference between being an attention whore and a contributor to the board, thats all I'm saying. Jonas and Matt are contributors. Jury is out on the others.
Anybody own a boxing ring? $25 admission with the proceeds going to Fchat....definitely no steriod testing and betting is absolutely permitted. Whadda think?
So Tom, It's ok then to infer that I beat my wife? That I condon spousal abuse? Is it? Did I dismiss his points? Did I ignore him? Did I refute his points? Are you even reading the thread or are you just skimming it a taking out the juicy bits since you quoted a post that was for Mike328? How would you feel if someone accused you of being a poor mechanic or beating your wife and peaching at you about something that is so far off base that it's not even funny. Like I said. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BS'ing around on the board and accusing someone of spousal abuse. YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I still want a apology from tomf-1 for inferring I am a wife beater
You used the word "was." "Was" is the past tense. Long before he "came clean," I chatted with Jonas - we had a blast. I've chatted with others about Art's prowess in a kart. When it comes to karting, I support Art more than anybody, because I know he's got the skills. I've never said a word against Art in Live Chat. Not one. I'll give Art hell in P&R, though. A great many of my PM exchanges are with tvrfreak. We rarely see eye-to-eye on things Political, yet we remain the best of friends. We've never discussed Politics offline. As far as I'm concerned, when I'm discussing things with or about another offline - that's all past tense. __ In the present tense, this is what we're trying to tell the feminazi (for one, apparently): 1A-99Z] Leave your ego at home. Knock it off. Play nice. If you can't, we'll be hellhounds on your overly-striated tail. Go away. Come back when you've sorted out your issues. If it takes a year or two, so be it. It worked for Matt. _____ Matt is a better judge of himself than he was back when he enrolled himself in the school of hard knocks. Matt is also a much, much better judge of character than he's being given credit for by some who do not see the Method to the Mattness. There is something I call the space between the breath. Sometimes, it must be seized upon, others nurtured. I believe Matt has a firm grasp on what to seize, how to seize, when to sieze it, and why. He also has a firm grasp on what to nurture with equal enthusiasm in it's proper time and place. He will not be right 100% of the time, but he is no longer the weak man he was when he reached his low ebb. His tide has turned and epiphanies, as they often will, go unrecognized. venusone (is there any more egocentric a moniker a "woman" could choose for herself?) has it all wrong, and so too, do those who fail to see that which is crystal clear.
Just read the article that Matt wrote for Velostrada and let me tell you....it was great....I don't know how you come more clean then that! Thanks for writing that Matt, it gave me a different perspective on you and this site in general.
You know, I never thought about it before, but I do see my old GS300 from time to time. My dad bought it from me when I got my Benz then sold it to my sister. Weird that it's still around...
