Your petulance is amazing Mr Dunlap. I can do many, many things with the written word, however I will never claim to be able to replicate or be able to portray such petulance. Nobody will ever be able to portray such high levels of such juvenile behavior better than you can yourself, and this is why I thank you. Nobody will ever show the community who you are better than yourself.
Mr Dunlap, clearly this is a jab at me for our correspondence in the Trikefest Preparation thread. The difference is huge however, and seeing as you clearly don't realize that, allow me to elaborate. Your multiple, long, and at times in succession with nobody else posting in between posts were what's known as "thread hijacking". What that means is you had taken over the thread for your own agenda and lost track of the initial meaning. There were people posting in that thread with information pertinent to the event going on, and you were not one of them yet you were posting many times over and over with big paragraphs about how and why you weren't able to make the event. That's all great information if you'd like to share it, but start your own thread. Those of us who were at Haspin were having a great time and nothing there had anything to do with why you weren't going to make it. To be blunt, nobody cared. Don't take that personal, it's not because it was you not coming that nobody cared. It's a festival Mr Dunlap, and the spirit is festive by nature. Nobody wants to talk about how sick anyone is or something unfortunate or woe is me, etc. There have been many Trikefests before and they all went great sans (that means without) Micky Dunlap. In fact, one of the very few mentions of your name I heard all week was someone who brought up you possibly attending but not staying on site. The words "poor form" were used by the party concerned in description of your choice to segregate yourself from the rest of the event.
As far as my posting in this thread that I will not be in attendance, it is my responsibility to keep those involved with this event informed whether or not I will be attending which is what I did. It took me ten words to do so. I didn't post multiple times with pictures and paragraphs of why I'm not going and attempt to turn the event into my own personal outreach for sympathy, I wrote ten words telling those in charge I wasn't going to be able to make it. I'll ask you to please act a bit more mature in your future posting and by all means correct me when I'm wrong, but don't ever attempt to parallel your posting with mine. I wrote ten words just as you should have.
