    Just to update. The idiot called me and threatened me this morning so now the police are involved.

    Tragic how mentally unbalanced people are.



    I put a post on craigslist in my area giving the guy's name and business name and told of what he has done so far.

    I figure since the moron threatened to come to my house I needed to let the public know how unbalances this guy is.

    Be careful of competitors-there are some real wing nuts out there.

    Alloy 2 I find your comment very disrespectful.

    If you hadn't noticed this is a thread that I started.

    If you don't enjoy the content of my threads, DON'T READ THEM!

    And especially keep rude comments to yourself.

    I don't believe I have EVER been rude to you on any threads on this forum.

    If you are pissed off because I didn't thank you or others it's because I didn't know how to do that.

    I have permanent brain damage from 2 head injuries and I don't comprehend a lot of computer/internet based stuff.

    I feel it is important to warn others of my experiences so that we all can be safe out there when dealing with competitiors.

    I just wished you could deal with the problems your having with your competitor privately rather than air your dirty laundry on a public forum. You can not expect everyone here to share your views no more than I could mine, were only human.

    Brain damaged consider yourself lucky as I do that were not brain dead.

    If I sleep with too large a pillow sometimes I will be woken with a loud snap and a bolt of lightning going off inside my head, Took years to figure it out, my neck was broken as an infant and sometimes the nerves will pinch sending a false signal to the brain. It's called shaken baby syndrome.

    With such a sever shacking I also have brain damage. if I drink alcohol I black out but still function, apnoea is another of late swallowing spittle or coffee sometimes goes down wrong I go into a fit not able tp breath until I pass out finding myself on the floor coming conscious with a buzzing sound in my head that sounds like rushing water..

    Passing out is natures way to force the muscles to relax. if I were choking on food probably not so lucky.

    Everyday I'm able to feed myself and walk I'm grateful,

    I can feel your anger coming through in your writing, no one gives a crap, If your having trouble dealing with your anger seek out a local group, I did. The only thing that kept me from becoming an alcoholic was the black outs I experienced. It's horrifying to wake up the next morning not knowing what you did the night before.

    On a side note, I was so proud of you when you decided to direct your energy into opening an appliance repair store. you may have noted that I gave you an extended reply with advice to blow the lint from your dryer motors adding new oil into the wick surrounding the oilite bearing.

    I have been reading this thread with interest. We all will/have/had problems with others like the OP has had.
    As the thread progresses I learn a bit about what's happening on a day 2 day basis and what the immediate response is to a earlier desision is, and what happens of it.
    If this happens in my real life, I can access this info and desisions made in it, and use it, and if hopefully things go well, use it to shortcut to the end of my problem, and if things go bad, form a immediate response and act on it.
    If things just 'peter out', then maybe I don't have much to worry about anyway.

    Years ago I posted on a different website about my anger at 'how can someone leave a public toilet in such a mess, even under the toilet seat'. (Yeah gross, but...)
    The first response was by a woman who said "Well you try toileting a 2 yr old kid with explosive diarrhea in a public place with little amenities...."
    That shut me up.
    In one sentence she taught me so much. Just how my own situation pales to what others get thru 'day to day'.
    What can be a a annoyance to me is actually something that others have very little control over and a little effort by me can make someone's day so much easier.
    I now carry sanitary spray, paper towels and paper seat covers in my car all the time...(don't tell anyone.) Not for my use so much as others need.
    _-----------

    alloy2 , I love reading your posts, every post you make, I learn something, something important enough that I know I will reference it one day, if not tomorrow.

    Its sorta like listening to W. Edwards Deming making a presentation.
    Knowing that every sentence he makes I will learn something, after two sentences the two things I learnt, crossed together, makes a third thing I learn, and by then he's taught me a forth thing as well.

    THATS the edge Americans have over every other individual in this world. Knowledge and its value.

    alloy2- If bullion's issue was with someone on the forum and he put those grievances out on the forum, that would be "airing dirty laundry". What he has done here if give a case example of how people might react with competition as a warning to others on SMF of what can happen. I might have handled it differently, I might not. Sometimes you have to call out a bully. Now the authorities know there's bad blood between them as well as the public. Hopefully the other guy can come to the conclusion that both can probably co-exist in the same area. If not, everybody makes their own bed...

    Why don't you save it? I hate it when you just start airing dirty laundry in public.

    It looks like he is airing business problems and you are airing personal ones...

    Imprisoned on my boat for the past three months has taken its toll upon me, it's unfair that I impart my doldrums upon others.

    This is true, I have overstayed my usefulness.

    Nup, nup, no way, never, not at all, ever. I really enjoy your posts and I am defiantly not the only one.

    In this thin plastic world of film flam, your posts are like the foundations of knowledge.

    at this point, all i can say is this:
    the danger of arguing with a fool is that it becomes difficult to tell which is the fool.
