You know on second thought, forget about helping if need be. Maybe Im reading too much into what your saying K2, but that one was a bit low. In game you made a comment to me once when I was still in Amichi about "Mr. Goodyear", and somehow on this one I doubt you were trying to be funny.

Its real easy to hide behind a message board. Say what ya want, do what ya want, and never have to worry about meeting someone in Real Life.

When I left Amichi, I figured I could stay in touch with a lot of you all. Figured I would be able to keep posting here and there and in Member Forums, but nope You all wouldn't have it. Although I hear and see many instances where folks are allowed to continue posting and what not.

Even now, there is someone with acess to the boards where their better half is in another guild, where Amichi Raids can be viewed through them.

I have tried to remain friends with a lot of you, Have offered help when you all are short on Melee, or Shammy's for that matter. Tried my best to be a friend of Amichi. But now Im done.

I give up.

Gratz K2, you win. You can have this little dictatorship of yours and rule it how you will. Im sure there is no tears shed, no sorry feelings whatso ever. Its just a little thought I held on to since I left that I would have a shot of coming back. That's all gone now.

I can see that as long as you are there, there is no way in hell that I would ever feel completly welcomed into coming back.

I bid you all a safe travels in life and what ever it is you do. Im not posting here anymore.


Ciao,

Jan (Lou)

Dang bro, it was just a joke.

Sigh.

Wow, for someone who has barely spoken to us, except to post on the boards, that sure came out of left field.

And I really can't see that he was making a comment about your weight. If I remember correctly, he has been one of your staunchest supporters when you have talked about the weight you have lost because of your medical reasons. He has congratted you and been giving you kudos on what you are doing on the boards.

I remember back in the day when we could joke around and pick on each other. I know with me and Kalth there were no hard feelings, but it would appear from your post that there were. I am sorry that whatever the problem was, could not be worked out before this. You and Hali were like mine and Kalth's best friends for like the longest time, then poof...it was over.

Dunno what really happened, and I am sorry it did.

Good luck in whatever you do in your future.

When I first read this thread and what K2 posted under Jan's baking post, it didn't occur to me that anything was wrong with his post. I talked to Jan on the phone and he said that it upset him because he knew what K2 was referring to. I never even thought about that fat boy with the light saber in that star wars movie but he did. I told him not to worry about it that it was probably just a joke.

He picked me up for lunch today and as were sitting there eating, he was really quiet. I asked what was up and he said he was still thinking about that post. It bothered him that much that he was still thinking about it. He then went on to explain something to me. I want to post it so you know why he was upset by it K2.

He told me after we posted the pics of ourselves when we were still in Amichi and you made a comment about being Mr Goodyear blimp or whatever was said and it bothered him then but he didn't say anything about it. Well when you referred again to his weight problem by putting him in the picture as the fat boy it really hurt him. He was teased in school alot when he was younger because of his weight. He told me that when you laugh about it with others you feel that others will accept you better because you can laugh at yourself about it. He said it still hurt inside even though the outside was laughing. I guess he's grown up around it most of his life and learned to accept it but it still bothers him when comments are made.

Now he's really working on his weight and he's doing excellent on losing the weight. His clothes are getting so much looser on him and it's great. I guess because he's working so hard on it, it really hurt for someone to make reference like that about it.

I hope that I don't cause any hard feelings here and I know you were only joking around about it K2 but it really did hurt him to see the comment made. I know that others post about maybe bad language bothering them in posts or in game or about the talk of sex etc. but I guess weight is something that might bother someone else in the same way.

I know I don't post much on boards anymore but I felt I should try to explain how he was feeling about this so you would understand.

Thanks for listening.

I sent him and yourself a PM apologizing. It really wasn't meant to be mean, or hurtful.

I know what it means to have bad self esteem, so *I* know that I'm just teasing or joking. I guess it's hard for others to see that sometimes.
