Swole,
I only wonder if your attitude about him would be different if you knew how well he treated his past customers and friends?.Maybe its YOU who needs to do some searching or asking the many Mason-Dixon club members or some of the other businesses he has had issues with about him.I'd bet money that you may just have a different point of view given to you on him and his business practices...........Andy
P.S.-When it comes to Wade and stirring chit up,he gets everything he deserves and should get more IMO.
You know, you may be right about my "supposed" attitude had I been around back then or had i been the victim of him in the past. But see, thats he thing!!!
I always try to live by a saying I heard once:
"Believe Nothing of what you Hear, and only Half of what you see"
I've been the victim of people judging me simply by what one of my fellow officers said about me!! When I first came to my Dept. This officer and I had a "dealing" with each other one night on duty. I personally don't think he deserves to wear a badge. But simply because he was buddies with many officers, what he told everyone about me got me put on their Chit list for a long while.... I took all kinds of harrassment from them..
Four years later, HE has the thickest Internal Affairs file in the dept. (no joke) and most of those so called friends of his actually respect me now because they finally saw who I really was!! I have Yet to recieve a complaint and I feel I do a good and fair job!
My point is, Wade helped me! Along with several others! I am greatful to them all!! How fair would it be for me to Judge him based on stuff I never heard of and had no part in??
I appreciate everyones concern for me and my dealings wih Wade. I really do! But so far he's not done anything except show me kindness and generousity. Along with everyone else in my Sig. that helped!
People can change. And if he used to be a certain way, well maybe now he's seen the era of his ways and changed them. Like I said, i don't know his history.
Im sure none of you would want me judging you simply based on what another "says" about you. Especially when I don't even know them either!
I'm Just trying to live like the good Lord would have me too!! I believe the good Lord brought the folks in to my life to help me! I'm sure glad he did!
Now, I hope we can stay focused on the kewl new parts!!
