Apex......Columbus finds and my ANGER and Disappointment!!!!!!!!

[peterh770]

"Made" you? I understand you have been an expert at 392 for quite a while. You should have done more warm-up stretching.

I refuse to duck and run.

Let us focus on Apex... OMMMMMMMMMM...

 

[veg-o-matic]

Why didn't I think of that?

Hey, if I had found that Apex, you bet I'd try to trade it for "favors" from Robert! I mean, puh-leeze--did you SEE that picture of him last week? Swoon!

(Okay, no I really wouldn't have. It's just plain wrong, even I know that. And a married man, especially. That's just reprehensible. We're talking Go to Hell. Go Straight to Hell. Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect Two Hundred Dollars.

But still, that picture...)

Anyway, John, don't leave us because a couple of insecure, egomaniacal assholes are trying to stir things up. I'd say that 99.9% of the members here are people who'd take a bullet for each other.

The others are beneath our contempt.

And it's those others who are doing it because they want attention. Okay guys, you want attention? John, go ahead and post the emails--and don't forget to include the headers (email me if you don't know how.)

They'll get the attention they're looking for, oh yes.

Right upside the head.

John, you shouldn't leave BUT .....

The ones who sent the emails to you should be eliminated from the club as members period.

No Way To Put It Back

Just like squeezing toothpaste from tube, there is no way to put it back, once its out. No words can adequately portray the essence of who Robert is or what a truly fine and deserving human being he is. The work, joy and selfless giving he provides for this site and all it's members is exponential. Robert does not deserve to be embroiled in this muck raking any more than do you. I can not imagine what it must feel like to be sucker punched after such a geniune and generous offer. The whole moment is forever tainted. Just like a terrorist, the work of a depraved individual has forever changed the feeling of safety we have for so long enjoyed. Washers.org has been a haven and respite for us all who have never before had a venue to fully appreciate our combined love of collecting, restoring, nurturing, stewarding and shepherding the great legacy of dazzling technology never dreamt possible. my sincerest hope, is that you can accept this in no way minimizises the greatest moment ever shared in this group. Each of us adore, idolize and wish the best for Robert. The Knight in Shining Honor who brought him the gift of the Maggi Apex, will long be venerated here.
It is sad to know our safe domain is infiltrated with terrorist trash, but know that the ones of us who care and matter will forever surround you with a legion of support.

So Sorry This Had to Happen....

but I can understand how you feel. I went through a similar situation a while back. It still bothers me somewhat, but it's in the past and I am happy to have started posting after a while. Please don't leave as there are way more positives than negatives.

I was so happy.........

To read of the Apex find, and I still am. It's just sad that the one thing our webmaster has asked and probably searched the U.S. over for, has turned into such a disrespectful episode. My bet is on discretion and the quiet deletion of a couple of members. It would take a giant leap of stupidity, to do such a thing as send the e-mails that have been mentioned. Robert created and maintains this site, wrote the complicated code for it, that we all appreciate daily. John the finder kudos to you. Have a feeling there may be few people that we may never hear from again. I do hope this all turns out ok the Apex in Mn, John keeps membership and the rest of it like it never even happened. It's just wrong. alr2903

 

[angus]

I can't add anything more to what has already been well said, other than I agree the perps should be disclosed and outsted from this site. There is no room for such antics.....

 

[zipdang]

John, please stay! It's the integrity of members like you who make this sight great. It's irritating when malicious people try to ruin the fun for everyone else, so just ignore the idiots who sent you those e-mails; they don't speak for the rest of us.

[unimac104]

what else can be said

i'm still new here and love this site for the reasons it was created. robert has done and continues to do an outstading job of maintaing this site for all of us, it is certainly a shame for people not to appreciate it. i agree these scumbags should be ousted, and of course for curiostity sake would like to know who they are, but relize that for the sake of keeping this site professional it might be best if robert deletes them quietly, regular members will fiqure it out who it is. there is just no reason for this kind of behavior amongst friends,especially adults. this is child like behavior, which there is no room for here. john don't let these bad memebers ruin it for you, they have already ruined it for themselves. if people would think about the outcome of there actions, the world would be happier place. jeolusy (spelling) is the route of all evil. good luck with the apex robert.

 

[mrb627]

Congrats

Glad Uni found his dream machine. It is the lucky machine that finds a home in Robert's basement. Can't wait to see photos of the restoration in progress. Perhaps this could be the candidate for a "See-It-Wash" dvd with the proceeds being split with John.

[JerseyMike]

sigh ....

John,

Please reconsider your decision to leave. Please don't let a couple of bad apples spoil this wonderful place for you. Most of the people who post here are very, very nice.

Your amazing find and your very kind and generous helped Robert realize his dream of owning an Apex.

You didn't deserve what happened to you! How dare someone question your motives!?!

I agree that whoever sent you those e-mails needs to have their memberships cancelled!

:-(

[Maytagmom]

I'll break out my Texas size can of whoopazz on the perp

John,

Please don't leave this wonderful little forum in cyberspace. 99.99% of the folks here are very genuine, caring and fun to be around and talk to.

The other's troll around every full moon or 28 days....(at least it's starting to look like that)

Please don't leave!

And I agree...REVEAL!

 

[lightedcontrols]

So, we're all waiting......

John, I've been watching the threads for the past few days and am begining to wonder who the people were that sent you the emails that you mentioned at the begining of this thread. I know a lot of the guys in this club and quite honestly, I can't imagine that anyone would do anything like this. If they truely did, then you need to fess up as to who they are. I'm really begining to wonder about this whole thing though. So far, I've not seen any evidence of ANY MACHINES other than your descriptions in the previous post. You've had two days now to post this information and so far, nothing. Are you playing a cruel joke on the club and Robert, in particular? If you're not, then fess up. I think it's time to put up or shut up. Mark

 

[mayken4now]

Yeah, how am I going to get miss thang if I don't know who?

 

[quiltnbear]

John, I am so sorry this has happened. Please stay, you will leave an empty spot if you go. Scott in CA

 

[gyrafoam]

Honey puhleeez! Ain't none of ya'll right.
Oh, the hand wringing drama and all. Gag.

If anyone didn't already know us, they would be certain we were all rocking on the front porch of the "Aging Actresses Home" waiting for Robert to levitate for us or perhaps walk on water.

O.K. we all acknowledge that there are some rectums among us-----they ain't right either but what can you do? Just cuss 'em out and go on and thats all you can do.

And whats all this about trading sexual favors for washing machines? Yeah right, like no one amongst us ever had that thought cross their mind. Specifically what type of machine? Hmmmmmmm.

So John just remember who the people are that sent those e-mails to you. One day you might meet them face to face and you can really have some fun!

You should stay with us no matter what!

AND where the hell is Toggle during all of this drama?????????

Hi everyone, I just want to make it quite clear that I spoke to John again tonight and he is going to forward me those two nasty emails. When I get the emails I will try to determine the source starting with the IP addresses in the headers as well as the style of the writing, when I can figure out who did it they will be banned for good.

I certainly believe him when he says that he has found an Apex as he has described to me in great detail. He has no reason to make this up. I think the outpouring of support today was just marvelous and shows what a great group we have here! I think we will all be together for a very long time.
