Message to Korey....

Welcome back. I am one of the not-so sure members of NotRoy when it comes to your re-emergence on the scene. I most certainly have been critical of your actions in the past, and probably made some improper and incorrect assumptions about you, and people I thought might be you. My jury is still out....

When the whole thing surrounding you and your various aliases arose, I'm not even sure I was someone who posted regularly here, yet I was a constant reader (like many). Your name became synonomous with trouble, half-deservedly... and it stuck with me.

I'm all for being helpful on this boards, now that I actually post more often. And if you have something worthy to contribute thats awesome, the MA community will surely appreciate it. I keep things light, and often post Off Topic things, which some apparently don't like, but so be it.

I don't consider myself to be part of any clique on this board, nor do I really feel there is a clique on here. Sure, some people post more than others, but does that necessitate a clique? To me clique's were in High School, and anyone at our ages should not be referring to a clique. To me those that do, just feel they aren't getting enough attention so they want to complain about others. Much as some girls "hate the pretty girls", and guys "hate the jocks" or what not. Ridiculous, time to grow up.

For those people if you feel like you aren't getting enough attention, ,post something, say HI, help someone with a question, point someone in the right direction to find their answer, contribute, tell a joke, tell a story, invite everyone into your world for a second, and maybe you'll stop feeling the animosity toward others.

Anyway, I welcome you back to the boards, half-heartedly.... and you'll have to bear with me. Given enough time of regular posts without disruption, and soon you'll be in the same boat as everyone else that posts alot...people will love to hate you, this time for a completely different reason.

Wow, this turned into a long War and Peace post....anyway..... Just felt I'd chime in.

I must be in the minority here. I think the guy is mentally unbalanced and it's just a matter of time before he's up to his old tricks. I guess time will tell.

I'll have a watchful eye for a while....

But, if Harry has deemed it okay to bring him back, then I have to accept it.

I agree with Cali on this one.

Wow! I log in this morning and my profile has been read 220 times compared to the 150 something last night!! Geesh!! (I'm posting to my profile to show that it's really me this time.)

I thank you for taking the time to post that. I can assure you my "sockpuppet" days are over. You seem to be a very intelligent human being. But, you already have my vote because you're from Ohio. My father is originally from East Liverpool Ohio. My extended family all reside there now.

Just thought you might like to know Korey that the link to your website does not work. As Harry deems it fit that you return, I will not question it either, just be yourself and others will also welcome you back. Of course there will be those that will not. jmo

Hello LawrenceOK....

Yes I am aware that my site is down now. If you go to their main site at: http://www.cjb.cc it says that they'll be back up shortly because they're updating the server.

I have a crappy website on tripod, but I can't post it here, because that would be advertising (see I learn )

I hate the automatic ads on my tripod website. I guess you get what you pay for!

I have been using tripod for over 2 years and have had the link in my profile. I recently decided to get a domain name and I mask forward that to my tripod site. Call me cheap, but if I could find a web hosting site with no adds for free, I'd be there in a second.

Hey Lawrence GOOD NEWS!!....

http://www.cjb.cc is a free service. No adds whatsoever! That's what they pride themseleves in.

When they're back up and running, directions will be available so you'll know how to use their free services.

If you are a small business (which you are), then you qualify for their free webhosting/service. The only downfall with them is that they're a cjb.cc extension. Not the average .com .

I had to email them a request for free service. They tell you that they don't contact you. You have to log into your account within 24 hours. If you don't log in, or you can't, then your request was denied. Look into it when they update. I've had no problems! You have to be familiar, however, with HTML programming. They have a forum where the people are very helpful in assisting you in creating your site.

I hope this wasn't considered advertising anothers service. It's completely unrelated to the services notaryrotary.com provides. It's not even notary related.

Re: Hey Lawrence GOOD NEWS!!....

I was also doing alot of reading and very little posting at the time you came in here Korey. I understand that you and Brenda have worked through this. I also understand that Harry has made the decision to let you back on here and that is his perogative. Here's my personal feelings. What was done wasn't just done to Brenda although unfortunately she bore the brunt of it. It caused major problems on the boards. We were all affected. You do absolutely look like someone who is very mentally imbalanced (not a medical diagnosis). I think your actions were worthy of a lifetime ban (but that is not my decision). You say your sorry. Ok. But that doesn't mean that you regain any sence of credibility to me (and I sure the same goes for others who had to witness and be part of the antics).

Re: Hey Lawrence GOOD NEWS!!....

I'm going to be quite frank.... As I am trying to stress polietly in the round about way, I don't care if you agree with me coming back onto the board or not. I'm not here to win anybodys affection.

I posted on the board because I was trying to clear the air. I read that Brenda thought I was stalking/harassing her. I read that and worked things out with her and explained to her (and this board) that their has been a grave mistake. My point was made.

Will I post on notaryrotary? Sometimes. I have been lately because I go to read the board and messages were left for me. As a courtesy I replied to them. Am I going to cause an annoyance? No.
