Josh, Ditto what AK said.... Side note: I was expecting something close to this nature , just expected better I guess. It's amazing that a guy who doesn't care what anyone thinks is willing to FALL on the sword for the honorable. This guys made NO logic. Like I've told many of my friends.... Hit me a text... Call me... Email me.... Before you'd sabotage me..... This was very WEAK.... TK

I get dislikes on my comment for thanking Dave for coming out and settling this debate?? I thought this is what people were waiting for? didn't say i liked what he did...just thanks for letting us know what happend. This "debate" is settled now? He just publicly LIED again by saying he was there last year. He was NOT. So he is so trustworthy that the rest should be believed? He also states that he has been a professional truck driver for 40 years......he is 55. Didnt know you could get a CDL @ 15. I call B.S on all of this.

So am I reading this right? Dave sent an email to the promoter intended to sabotage the event because Jonathan said he "stole the event" from Bill Collins on this message board? Then he comes on here feeling as though he did something honorable? Fail
Jonathan, If you can learn from your mistakes in this whole debacle, then you have received a valuable thing. Otherwise, you will have just endured for naught.
Josh, Nice. You seem like a great mediator.

Yes I learned that there are 2 people that I considered friends through this whole thing that I now know I can not trust! So lesson learned.

None of this other information was on this post before I posted. We all hoped the truth would come out, and it will. but at this point I don't think it really matters anymore.

Bruce, you actually tried to pass this whole thing as a business move and then said armwrestling needed to be more like a business. Maybe it does, just not that kind of business. I would hardly associate this email with ethical business practice. Then the guy says what he says and you thank him. What are people supposed to think?

I can see how it was mistaken, so I apologize for that or for not putting my reason for thanking him. I know it's not ethical. Sadly most business practices aren't ethical. I see it at work all the time. Especially when you have a boss that wants/likes people mostly because they will kiss ass rather than work and get stuff done. So again...I wasn't thanking him for doing what he did, but merely what I thought at the time, to be clearing up the mess.

I forgive you and understand your cynicism as it is somewhat well-founded. My intention was not to bust your stones but to try to give an outside perspective.

Yes I am the Rodney Dangerfield of middleweight American armwrestlers. I have no hook (or strength for that matter), I am "crafty," need the strap and don't go to the "big" tournaments. But I guess the first step is admitting you have a problem.
BTW, Thanks Bruce
