Those kinds of threads seem to follow a sort of pattern. Somebody presents a situation & asks for advice. The advice comes and people pile on with more and divergent views which are commented on by others, and the whole thing heats up. If it ends well at the end, everybody cools down and comes to terms with each other and the OP. Wolf seems to kind of understood that and come out of the encounter pretty rationally. There was a lot of good advice which I'm sure he will remember and probably keep in mind as he tries to resolve the situation. I wish him luck.

Like 'was I a douche at my golf club?'. And then no one really likes the answers...

Probably the main reason I dredged up Markus' "Who's Who" thread.

Remind everyone that there's a face and family behind the screen names we sometimes ridicule, make fun of and criticize. Even more so it seems in election years....

Oh yeah? I lost my face in a washing machine accident in1972!

Poopyhead!

LOL.....nine Herr - I meant the video of Miguel stealing from the "thread". I listened to some of the confrontation - could only handle a few minutes of it! I don't want to stick my nose in someone's personal life so I've said my peace and that's that, ya know? SmileWavy

Personally, that's not the way I wanted the whole thing to go down. I wish I'd have hit the record button before it even started, but it pretty much began with him starting to yell and get sh***ty when we showed him the video, and then her yelling back as response. His attitude is what got me (and her) all heated up, especially when he started asking why we'd do that to him, as if he'd done nothing wrong.
I was hoping for more of a "We know you're stealing, so you need to leave" conversation that ended with him out on his butt.

I think when you said "I will not suffer thieves" you lost him.

Yeah, no kidding. Thieves...fools...all the same.

I admit to having hopes for a quick resolution, but sometimes these things take time, or as in LakeCleElum's former situation sometimes years (amazing that the lad became a chaplain!).

Wolfe -- my gf and I want to say THANK YOU to you. We are having The Talk this afternoon with her 20yo daughter. My gf and I learned a great deal from watching your most recent video, and we are now armed with a piece of paper upon which is written The List, a list of 3 things that we will firmly explain to the daughter, things that will be accomplished in an order that will not deviate, with the end result that we will move the daughter out in about one week. We are currently looking for a place for her to move to. No, we won't have an available room at that time. :)

Blessed peace and quiet...

Hopefully, it was how NOT to confront a *****y, whiny, entitled kid! :D

Is she hot? :D

Saw that coming.

Denis, yeah...

Graham, there ain't enough aspirin in the world.

See you guys at the swap meet. We might be a tad late.

Maybe you two need to setup a date!

Being single, wearing a foil helmet and living in a basement in Newark doesn't seem to be a bad thing anymore.....

Not if your mom leaves her purse out.

She leaves it at the top of the stairs.....filling out the the withdrall slip in crayon is the issue...
