Re: I have an announcement to make....
i remember when Swede was having a semi meltdown this stiffing was brought up and Swede promised everyone that 5 star would come thru :+textinb3 Swede do u also feel like u have been duped? I even thought ur words would force him to pay. He got me to :+textinb3
First off,
semi meltdown? There were a few months there where I had officially melted completely down into a bubbling puddle of crazy, but I don't remember a
semi meltdown. :+textinb3
As for 5 Star....well, I think I said that before he won the $700, but I could be wrong. I remember sticking up for him as far as going to the Cubs game because his parents bought him the tickets for his birthday and someone was demanding that he scalp them. That said...was it reallly his birthday? Did his parents really buy the tickets? Is he even a Cubs fan? I guess we don't know. I don't really feel duped. I said he'd pay it and I still think he will. I didn't know he had said he already paid.
It seems to me that he got caught up in the fun of the forums and wasn't thinking about the fact that there are real people behind the screen names. It seems to me like he's seen the light, but what do I know? I do feel that 5 Star is a good kid in his heart. I just feel that in my gut. He may have some growing up to do, but who doesn't at his age? We've all made bad decisions. I'm not mad at him. Alchohol fueled or not, it was pretty big of him to come out and admit that to everyone. He could have settled it with patsfan behind closed doors and no one would have known. The fact that he felt guilty and came clean speaks volumes to his character, IMO. I'm sure there are guys reading this right now who have stiffed people, changed their handle and called it a day.
Of course, I haven't read the rest of the thread....so I have know idea what "evidence" is going to come out.
