Can anyone explain this?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Jon, I will send you an email. That REALLY sucked, but the way you're handling it and your attitude toward it are spot on.

I will say publicly however that you ROCK and I am most honored to count you among my friends. There just aren't enough people in the world like you, as I know many here already know. I'm thrilled to the buttons that we will soon share a coast, and I can't wait to see you guys again, to know you better and to meet the other Portland people I am currently reminded are there as well! :-)
 
Scott,

Well, I may not always handle things the best way possible but I tend to have a big mouth. When I know someone is doing something terribly wrong I like to tell everyone about it. Of course this was easy "cut and paste".

It's funny that you want to meet the Portland people. It always appears that you California boys are always having the most fun. I have GOT to go to one of those "Mini wash-ins". Portland is going to be alot of fun though. We've gotten to know Patrick really well the past year and I know we'll meet many others in the near future.

I just hope you don't have to have a big fancy house to have a wash-in because ours isn't. However, Portland and Seattle have tons of great machines so I know there will be plenty to play with between all of us who will be there.

I look forward to your email and PLEASE try not to call me an ass when you write it. :-)

Jon the only thing you will need to have a wash-in you already have!! Just being the warm and thoughtful person that you are is all it takes and that of course goes for Tony as well!!!! Terry
 
We do have a lot of fun here in Cali, Jon! You visit CA anytime (I'm so happy you will be closer now!), and especially liking GE products as you do, you would LOVE the mini washins!

Jon, for me and probably for most people, it's not about who lives where or has or does not have what. I consider myself blessed to be living in this time period. I have friends all over the country and world thanks to clubs like this and the internet generally, and I hate to think of all the great people I would have missed were that not so. All are special in their own way and I'm glad they're a part of me. You're no different!

Back to my email!
 
Hi, Jon.

Yes, I've had difficulties with Mr. Wirth in the past.

Fortunately, it did stop of its own accord.

There IS an extenuating circumstance that, if you were to be harassed further and wanted to take steps to stop it, MIGHT cause you to just sort of leave the whole situation alone, but, if he doesn't bother you anymore, it's neither here nor there.

Email me if you experience more harassment.

I am sorry you have to experience this sort of distraction.

I've learned that sometimes it's just better to leave a thing alone, if you're not in a situation to help.
 
Jon as one filter flo b0y to another I say good for you to take this in stride as you have. Like someone said above I am profoundly proud to be asscociated with you here.The adage of one bad apple dosent spoil the whole bunch is true so true.
Also see my private email on the subject.
 
Sorry you had to experience un-called for wrath.

Nothing like a good, random hissy-fit to get the blood pumping.

~LOL that cake (of GadgetGary's)had been retired. It appears to set off wild mood swings...and with a full moon coming up we just can't risk it!...LOL!

Looks like that was fairly predictable. We just didnt know who'd be the "lucky" recipient. The full moon is today, Friday 21-Mar-08. Being that it is Good Friday for "y'all" this is not a good day to go flaming anyone! (Is it ever a good day for that?)May the "DELETE" key be your best friend.

When I get stuff like that, I simply say oh yeah? Let's play race cars! Bend over. I'll drive!

Love, peace and beware of falling rocks.
Who luvs ya baby?

EVERYONE!!!!
 
I was channeling Miss Paula Deen when I said Y'all...gawd dont ask me why my Southern Maine drawl comes out.
One thing I have found fun is the Wii system that we got. I bought the Smash Brothers game and man is that fun. when I feel the need to kick some ass it helps get the frustration out.
Full moon huh..no wonder I feel the need to howl...ARRRRROOOOO!
 
Illness

I truly believe we have to cut the mentally ill some slack. I'm not talking about the usual whack-jobs and dim-wits running around like me, I mean the genuinely ill.
But that does not excuse such behavior.
There are people on this site who regularly help other people - I've been a frequent beneficiary - who, themselves are racked with pain, suffering the indignities of chronic and, yes, terminal illness but still manage to be graceful and kind.
I won't sit in judgment; I'm healthy and (don't laugh) of sound mind. But enough is enough and I think it is time to just drop the whole thing.
Someone suggested such drama was typical of gay groups. I disagree, just log onto any general computing blog and dare to say anything which is true and disparaging about MAC OS or Apple in general - the drama ensuing therof makes us aging queens all look dignified. Or try explaining to my heterosexual red-neck relations why bailing out private banks is the epitomy of socialism, not captialism...
We will continue to disagree about various topics, agree about others and, all in all, enjoy ourselves. Maybe it is time to just drop this discussion and forget about it. At best, it isn't productive - I fear we all now know Bob has a cruel streak. At worst, it just feeds perverted anger.
Jon didn't deserve it, we have shown our affection for him. Bob is gone, for better or worse.
 
When I get stuff like that, I simply say oh yeah? Let's play race cars! Bend over. I'll drive! Steve, I'm still laughing!!! Perfect answer!!!

Funny you say that because I was thinking the same thing. It's my initiation FINALLY. It only took a year and a half before my first washer hate mail!

Panthera, I can definitely see your points of view. However, here's where I think a posting like this IS beneficial. It's things like that that make groups of good people become even more cohesive. Now I really feel like I know who my friends are here and that's very important to me.

My other reason for bringing this subject to the forum was simply because I suspected it was a current member and they needed to be dealt with. That's how little I knew about them. I didn't even know they had been banned long ago for this behavior and I sure didn't know how much they knew about me.

I really do appreciate everyone's responses and I definitely feel the love. Tony and I have been through quite a few difficult times and not a day went by that we weren't shown some kind of care and consideration from fellow members here.

Thanks guys!

(The end)

Well, Jon,

I guess it is one way to find out who your friends are. But, gosh, golly, gee - I can think of nicer ways.
I didn't mean "stop-talking" I just meant that, as far as I was concerned, the matter was settled. I did not know how far Bob had gone until I received quite a few emails from other folks on the subject (I get ya folks, no need to send more, I agree, the man has serious problems).
We all say things from time to time which we shouldn't and I would rather spend my time focused on the good stuff than the hateful.
And, thank goodness! There's more than enough good around here!

More explaining is in order here. I know you are tired of this thread so, yes, I'm trying to sorta shut it down.

I did not post this thread with that horrible email so that people would feel sorry for me and I would know who my friends are. I'm a grown man and still serving in the Army. I get yelled at all the time and don't take it personally. That's part of my current job. I can handle that. However, this is a completely random email from someone whom I knew absolutely nothing about but knew they must be from this club.

So:

A. If they were a member, I wanted them to be banned.
B. If they weren't a member then I needed to be concerned about my security.
C. I wanted to know who this person was and why this would happen.

I now have all the knowledge I need thanks to many emails and responses. It was all very helpful and in the process "I now know who my friends really are."

I'm not going to play the victim but, in turn, please don't mix the victim and the perpetrator up because I certainly have done nothing wrong to anyone.

Thanks

Jon
 
Jon,

I won't - and nobody else will here, either. I still can't believe anyone could be that nasty. I mean, really - we all sort of got past that before we got to kindergarden, didn't we? Your security concerns are valid and I bet Robert would have done that thing with his nose and Bob would have disappeared if he were still here.
Gosh, what useless drama and pointless hatred - I'd far rather make friends than enemies. And you, dear sir, are a double plus benefit to this club from my perspective.
 
I had no idea that he was banned from the site. I kinda thought that was strange that he wasnt posting his hideous cakes and what not here. Now it makes sense to me. To me it just takes just one person to cause a problem like this. I think and its my opinion that we all are like a big family here some you really like and some not so much. But we all have something to contribute to this club and that what keeps me coming back. You never know what you might learn.
 
Jon S.

You're contributions to this club are unmeasured. You have provided me with great joy with the washer ads you post in the Imperial Forum. It helped me figure out when my neighbor's washer was manufactured. This is a question I had for years. Keep up the good work!

I did not know you were in the Army. Thank you for your service to our country.

Happy Easter!
James
