A more fair statement...

[Bobby]

everyone relax. yes, he did threaten several women and their families, but we can rest easy knowing that he apparently was a good ole boy.

Wins the thread.

[Mr. Scot]

Im asking because there's any amount of possibilities for answers to my questions. A corupt police department who really doesn't protect and serve. A hipocritical state that doesn't stand by its laws. Or the issue was already settled at some point and he stopped with the threats. Or any others I havent mentioned.

Ladies, let me try and defend/explain Kat a little bit here.

I don't think he's really trying to be critical of you. But it's like I said, with the majority of men, violence against women is just unthinkable and can't be tolerated. Being men, our tendency is to always try and fix things. And that's the way Kat is looking at this, as something that needed to be fixed.

We don't like to think there are things that we can't take care of, but sometimes that's just the way it is.

Sadly, the world isn't always what it ought to be.

This whole story is not one anyone can walk away from without some bitterness or distaste co-mingling with the positive.

The good, the bad and the ugly.

I am not going to defend him for what he's done to others good or bad. I am also not going to condemn his as an irredeemable person either. It comes down to - I hope he is in a better place, I pray his family will find peace and comfort, and those who loved him will have something to cherish and those who didn't will have the peace they seek.

If I had known his last name and found out what I've found since I learned it, I would have definitely filed a police report. However, at the time (about two years ago - I need to go find the receipt for this couch - lol), I did let Zod and other mods know and gave them the transcript as well as several of my friends on here "just in case".

That damn couch... it could have been a futon.. or God knows what else... I bet it didn't even recline... and was probably an ugly paisley print...LOL

[Squirrel]

I remember the "Couch" episode.

I remember the meter reader attack.

I remember the April Fool "I'm Running Off With Somebody's Wife" turning into "Pay Attention To My Drama Or Else".

Apparently, the farther away you lived from this guy, the better he was.

And schizophrenia runs deep 'round here

You forgot the "nobody respects me" thats happened right before last years playoffs. That was the final straw.

[Mr. Scot]

I think I missed out on most of this stuff other than the couch.

[Bobby]

There's so much that I don't know. And that's probably for the best.

[Delhommey]

Seriously. The Lounge hasn't been this busy since we got pics of MonkeyButt in a thong.

[Matt Foley]

What if he really has eight more lives?

[2manytoys]

There's so much that I don't know. And that's probably for the best.

If your ever offered a couch on this board.. just say no... run.... and go buy a bean bag chair.. the end

It's wonderful that there are men in this world who believe this. Unfortunately, there are men out there who do not and treat women like they're lesser species.

Women need to air out their grievances to "fix" what ails them - it's called talking and we do it well.

There are times when men's need to "fix" the problem is not the solution, it lends to more talking so women can "fix" their problems themselves.

:ciappa:

I am being sarcastic....please see the smilie!

The one that got him so worked up was a natural white. But it didn't recline.

Noted.

Actually, don't make a round-about deal with another party to get said couch and it'll be all good.
