The problem(s) as I see it, is this bitterness from posters not forgetting and remembering everything from 3 years ago, which causes many to post what was reported by you.
As I see it, you have said you are well to do financially, you said iirc, the amount of the bet with Elrod was chump change. The bet was made on the DSF for all to see.
Your deciding not to honor the bet, that you say never happened, has caused many worse responses from many, including a couple from me in the past.
Your responses, have been baiting, dismissing, and continue to be a denial to ever making 'the bet'.
So as much as you would like, as much as some other posters might like, it doesn't seem to be going away....3 years later.
Part of the reason imo have been what come out as attempts from you to dismiss and laugh it off and to many posters 'in their faces' in your postings all this time, when brought up in response when you make a post to whatever forum you are making a post to, 'that the bet never took place'.
All this time, you have still stayed here and posted, taken the posts like the one(s) here you reported and stayed the same course, no bet, so no payment.
It is why I decided to write this out and attempt to see if I can persuade you to come to a settlement, you, a man who has posted he is successful, travels around to watch the Lions, etc. and has nice living arrangement, aka financially secure.
imo, This also is what is upsetting to this day, and brings out the postings that go back to the original 'bet' 3 years ago.
Tsmith, all you have to do is mail out a check to him, so all this will end.
No one knows anyones finances, just, everything posted by you that all here have read appears in ink that you could 'afford to end this'.
To anyone else, I am not looking for any responses from you as to one way or another,
such as good/dumb post, or he won't change anything. I am just trying to get a settlement and ending to all the hostility, warranted or not by whoever has read all from 3 years back to the present. Thanks.
