Let's try this again. A little transparency goes a long way

Kikn,

This may seem like a complete non-answer to you, but you also dont know what escalated this action. You are not privy to the private conversations that he and I have had in the past. But Booger is. To Booger, to whom my post was addressed, knows full well what unreasonable things were stated in our multiple PMs - none of which I will not post in public as they were private conversations between him and I and I respect that privacy. And he also knows full well what other unreasonable actions he took to directly cause this recourse. Conveniently enough, he is aware that I would never post the private details we discussed about this issue in a public forum. He can ask and he knows that I cannot answer without discussing our private conversations.

He was just recently down here and we saw each other at Seastar Inn. He and his wife were down for their anniversary and I hugged his wife and wished them both to have a happy anniversary. At no time did he pull me aside nor did he make any attempt to mention anything about this issue and quite frankly he didnt seem at all curious about it.

Seastar as well as many of the places he visited have my phone number. He also knows the webcast schedule and could have met up with me at any of those places.

We had hours at Seastar that night for a simple face to face and he also had days to contact me in multiple ways at multiple places. He knew the webcast schedule but made no attempt to speak to me privately, face to face, even when given the chance. He had ample means and time to spend just a few minutes to try and work this out if it truly was bothering or concerning him. A reasonable person with such a nagging grievance would do that.

But instead he chooses to post about this issue once again in public after having similar posts removed by me and my staff in the past. But this time he copies his comments knowing it would be deleted as all such have in the past, and then pasting and posting it again at 1 in the morning, knowing full well that I cannot answer without divulging our private conversations. His "entirely reasonable" request as you call it is just his latest attempt to drag this matter into a public forum which is an unreasonable thing to do. This has been going on for over a year now.

Ask yourself this, if he is truly interested in resolving this matter in a reasonable way, wouldnt reason dictate that he would have taken the time to discuss it when we met face to face during the recent opportunities? What other reason could there be not to discuss it, then to wait and post it again publicly knowing full well I will not answer it publicly?

You will find the simple answer to that question in the reply by some others in this thread.

Not everyone knows what exactly is going on behind the scenes. As with most things, there is more than meets the eye.

Rob,
As I clearly stated in my post that you deleted, why would one do a face to face when I had already attempted to handle it via PM/ numerous post that mentioned it that you completely ignored. Your beef is elementary and you need to get over it. Does one have to fly to Jamaica and have a face to face to rectify a concern? If you do not want me to have PM because you are paranoid about what I might discuss, so be it. Not being able to edit my post makes no sense. I am usually using an IPad that has a finicky keyboard and a pain in the a$$ auto correct and an edit feature would be nice. I have no other intentions...... Those that know me know my character are just as perplexed about the situation as I am. Did you and I have some heated discussions, you bet we did. The grudges you hold for as long as you hold them are pretty sad and I hope you find peace one day.

I copied my original post because I knew you would delete it. Which you did....... I also copied the PM's that you mentioned above, and every single person who has read them has the same response, some of which are friends of yours who approached me asking me what MY PROBLEM was. Your smear campaign for some folks who at one time where chummy with you is disturbing. Personally I have zero issue with you. Do yourself a favor and try to move on.

Booger,

Any grudge is on your part. I created, own and operate Negril.com. On Negril.com is a message board. There are functions in the software that were designed and added to assist the moderators in doing their job. Some of those features are used when necessary. There is no grudge on my part, me and my staff are just using the built in software features.

After our last private message conversation, it became quickly apparent that there is no reasoning with you. I find it astonishing that you show people that private conversation (showing it is strange in the first place) and then call it a "smear campaign" when they read it and independently come to the conclusion that you have a problem. No wonder they ask what your problem is, anyone reading it can come to that same conclusion. I had no idea you were showing it to anyone, how can you blame me for a "smear campaign" when your own actions backfire on you?

As I stated, you did copy your post because you knew full well that your post would be deleted. Why would a reasonable person post something they know will be removed? I rest my case on that one.

As for moving on, I am not going anywhere. I own and operate this site and have given you more leeway than most. Your bitterness is sad.
