Again not knowing anybody on this site except a couple of members, it appears from the posts that there might be a lot of riffraff on this site itself.

From your first post in this self serving thread:
And, to top it all off, a picture of you, holding a picture of yourself.
Attachment 232936
There are 3 or 4 guys on here that can't handle me, the main reason is of my relationship with Jesus. But at trike fest I had a lot of people that liked that I came, so I'll be back, and I'll bring more FaceBook friends with me. LOL
Jeff Turner, Anthony Allison, Bryan Ditch, Johnathan Lorence, Larry T.Moore, James K Smith, Rich Kirk, Sheldon K Crummey, Kevin Harry, John Barnfeild, Brian David Dean, Josh Crune, Jim Stefanski, Ted Johnson and many more! These are just a few I had a great time with, hope to meet more next year.
You make it sound like you extended your arm to me and I walked away from it.
My recollection of the event is that you came up from behind me while I was seated at a table, sat down and began to converse with others that were there. You didn't say "hello", "excuse me", look me in the eye and nod, or do any of the other things most people would have done in that situation, but don't feel bad, TF isn't exactly a black tie affair. It took me a minute to figure out who you were and confirm it, but by then you were engaged in a conversation with someone else and I would have had to interrupt to say hello.
I don't recall if I had to relive myself, or check my tire pressure, but I don't recall getting up and leaving just because you were there. However, your arrival etiquette made it easy to get up, slap my friend on the back and move on to the task at hand without going out of my way to excuse myself in any other fashion.
Perhaps you're accustomed to people recognizing you and approaching you and that's how you generally meet them. If that's the case so be it, but don't take it as a snub because I didn't ask you for an autograph. In the end I would say we both acted a little inappropriately to the third parties at the table. Maybe next time.
As far as the Christian bantering's you and other are engaged in I would implore you to respect the beliefs of others. In turn I'm sure they will respect yours. You're not the only Christian on this site, but you're the only one making an ass of yourself over it. Everyone has their own beliefs and the good sense to know that TF isn't a Bible retreat and this isn't a gospels site.
Have a blessed day.

It sucks to get old
I didn't even remember sitting at a table with you, didn't know who you were. I seen you walk by my pit and look at me, then I seen you back with something printed on it and thought it might be you but didn't know for sure because I didn't know you were there. Now that I found out it was you I thought that was petty, you were not man enough to come over? I would have greeted you with a big smile just like anyone else. I have nothing against any of you 3 or 4 guys, I just think you get the wrong impression of me or maybe you just don't like me, but that wouldn't stop me from saying hi to any 3 wheel lover.
Now that I think about it I seen some guy off to my left in the pit next to Howdys that kept looking at me but I was taking to Jim and Howdy. Since I don't know too many faces on here it was hard for me to pick anyone out. The only other pit I got to go to was Jim Smith and I was there a long time. I planed on going out more Sat. night, but when I got the call from my wife and she was so frantic I had to rush home to her. She wanted me to stay, but I just couldn't. But there is always next year.
Well there ya go, you don't remember sitting next to me and I don't remember seeing you at your pit LOL. The only time I looked at your pit was when I took a photo of it and you weren't there. Like I said, maybe next time.

Now that's funny, you wanted a pic of my pit, but you wouldn't come over and see me. Are you that skeered of me? You guys talk about how much your a family of trikers that get along so great, but you could, or would come around when I wasn't there, But you did and you turned and looked at me because when you turned away I seen something on the back of your race shirt to where I thought it must be you. Crazy
Wow! You think I went out of my way to avoid you??? LOL!!! Did it occurs to you that I might have been going somewhere when I walked past your pit, or that the photo i took was of the crappers and not your pits??? I really is all about you isn't it? Like I said, get help.
It sucks to get old
Sorry, that was supposed to say "not take a DIME"
Been There...Dug That.
Thanks, the people that know me because they met me in person know what I'm like, and it was fun for me to help people, you couldn't pay me for doing something that brought smiles to everyone I met.
These internet goons guy act all high and mighty, but couldn't face me face to face. It shows what they really are, not the nice 3 wheel people I met. Heck even a guy that got mad at me on face book came up and shook my hand, and yesterday even bought a set of fenders, those are real people , not the phonies that talk big but in their hearts a very small.
Thanks for taking the time to post!
Sounds like there are a couple relationships here that need worked on. I encourage everyone to try to step into the opposite persons shoes. I also encourage everyone to de-escalate. If everyone steps back and steps down and tries to give everyone the benefit of the doubt instead of thinking the worst of the situation I'm sure things can work out.
Do we need to lock the thread for a while so everyone can cool off? Lets try to work towards righting the relationships instead of heading in the wrong direction. I don't know a single one of you guys who wouldn't want to accomplish that. Am I right?
I think we do need to lock this thread. Time to cool off. Don't let it bleed into other threads or some time off will be handed out.
Think about how this thread looks to outsiders. This thread makes this whole site look badly. I don't appreciate it.

"Yes its broken, but does that really surprise you?."
"What happened? What does it look like happened?!?!"
