Oddly enough he and I surespot on occasion (last one was like mid Feb). Just small talk, nothing gear related. I don't wish any ill will towards the man, we had a gripe, or two once, settled it like men and moved on. I read all this and even though I personally wouldn't pin his gear as a human being I find myself hoping he gets his stuff together and reconciles with whomever feels he wronged them. Fucked up situations have a way of spiraling out of control and I think that this is what happened to him. Externally, or self inflicted I don't know. Only thing I do know is that the few times we do chat with one another he never offends me, we talk about other shit and I think deep down he is a good guy put in a bad situation from a few bad choices.
As far as the emails you receive Jack, those too are self inflicted because you stuck in there which was honorable. A lot of folks deep down might not like me for whatever reasons, but I can't do shit about that. Me and NY were talking yesterday about some key components of being an honest person and friend. These characteristics are rare nowadays. I might rep Hipo, but I think it's pretty clear where I stand and beside whom. Fuck with my boys NY, or Federal and there's a hammer of dick swinging your way. So I guess what I'm saying to everyone is this: past transgressions are just that, in the past. You're wiser and better off now. If you got had for a hundred or few hundred, there's no getting it back. No point holding grudges as it affects your health, not his, not Jacks. There's a lesson to be learned in all things brothers. Take from it what you will.
That is The 44's calm and loving moment for 2017. Everything after this will be minus that display of forgiveness.
