Except good-bye.

Scovie I about choked on my throat after reading this and then seeing Nipply eggs out of the corner of my eye.....bahahahahaa GOOOOOD BYE TED, if you really wanted to show people you should have stayed and stood your ground. Now you just look like you are afraid of a little criticism and bashing. If you want to make it in what you are doing/trying to accomplish, you need to plant your feet deep in the ground and stay where you stand. Now you look a little bit like Jim Duffy's minion because you caught some hate for it and it looks like you ran and hid behind his leg. I don't think this but the theatricals you are putting on over this whole issue is making you look like you don't take it seriously and could care less of the impact you're creating. I think you should concentrate on the kind of attention you want and disregard the rest. Giving in to the bashing and then acting like an immature teenager about it when you get a dose of reality from the adults around here, is just poor form. You've got to stand for it, promote it, protect it and always take the higher road.....or else you are going to be treated like an outsider. I hope all goes well for you Ted.
 
hey gentlemen...there is no use in beating a dead horse...you guys need to leave it alone...talk about piling on...relax guys...if he is gone, so be it, if he stays so be it, just ignore him if you don't like what he does or what he posts...

I am not taking sides on this, but will say that if I were still a moderator...warnings would be handed out...

Play nice...

First off i never enjoyed watching any of his videos or and absurd challenge videos. What i enjoy id some one doing a true review noting flavor, heat. Time heat builds excetra we all know what a true review is and what he was doing is not reviewing. But m biggest issue with what he was doing was claiming to review but never did a real review. There are people looking for what he does. But the way he went about doing what he did rubbed me the wrong way at times.

Umm okay.... do you see what you did there? Never mind.

I really don't see the point in telling someone how to act. Let people be who they are, watch, ignore, friend, defriend, block, etc. but let them be who they are.

Ted can do as he pleases. Leave, stay, whatever. Ted, you are welcome here, or if you've had enough, good luck.
 
Not trying to start anything, just being honest. I said that because my youtube videos dont get many views:( thats all. I will leave it at that

In other words attention would be a good thing for you. Got it.
 
wow... this thread rocks... so much good wisdom and stuffs...


¿¿¿5 stars...???



but srsly, i wouldn't trip about getting hated or anything if your new... i think i come off as an annoying jerk, yet everyone here treats me with ♥'s... but i ♥ them back... a ton of info and is worth being a part of...

btw, a couple years back on a local reef/aquarium forum some guy named detane came onto the scene and started treating everyone like newbs... right away a ton of people started singling out his faults and he started making "why me" threads... the truth is that being cocky or having an annoying attitude is not the way you make friends... it took like two years for that detane character to come back... but now he knows what he did wrong... treats people with respect and keeps his mouf shut...

good luck ted... see you around...

Can we stop with the eulogies already??

Don't read it Meinchoh, no one is forcing you to read this....Ted posted a thread and the members on the forum are responding as they feel so inclined to. If you don't like it, don't read it. Ted felt he wanted to be heard, well now he will hear all of us. Whether some members like it or not is their choice but so is the people that are posting here...and their right. (I will say that the poll put up on whether Ted should be allowed on the site anymore was completely childish and wrong but he started this thread. If he wants to be heard, then he should be prepared to hear us)
 
"If you love something.....let it go....if it comes back....then you have it's love......" "COME BACK TEEEEEEEEEEEEED" :pray:
 
I guess I should chime in here...since I encouraged him to join up. I have to say...I'm a little embarassed. I told Ted this place was the best...and many people shit on him. TO double up...I bring a "personal friend" into what I consider the greatest group of people on the planet...and now I'm the jackass.

So either way...this whole ordeal gets me down.

Back when I was racing downhill mountain bikes...I rode with guys that were pro (literally), and would be the first to offer you a beer after a ride, never talk about themselves, and totally open to anything. I rode with guys that were 100% adrenaline junkies, and no amount of time in the hospital recovering could redirect their passion. I rode with people that snickered at my setup...because I ran a non-typical parts list, and geometry. I rode with guys that would take ANY dare...I've had friends jump off the roof-tops of university buildings just to put on a show. Me...I rode because I enjoyed it...the rush, the friendships, the bikes, the scenery, the stories, the scars...whatever. It didn't matter.

Point is...I rode with A LOT of people that didn't enjoy the sport the exact same way I did. We were all there because we loved to ride.

I do not enjoy the hot stuff the way Ted does...never been much for the "college dorm-room challenge" type stuff. I fact, I see it as a waste of "good stuff". I think what Ted does is showboating, and self-promotion. I also know he's agood guy, with a good heart. We enjoy this thing differently...that's all. Hell, back in college...I never did a keg-stand...or a beer bong...because that's just not how I roll. I still hung out with those guys, and openly mocked them as they puked their guts up in the driveway, then kicked back for a relaxing beer.

You people are not morons...you see what I'm saying. I'd be a total ass to demand that someone treat my passion the same way I do.


One final point...I've seen the word "hobby" tossed around a bunch. Maybe that's why I'm at odds with both sides of this. Chiles aren't a hobby to me; they are a part of who I am. Furthermore...no one is the face of what I stand for, besides me. The same goes for you.
