I know I should have totally run and hid and not commented on any of this and just logged off and not come back. But I was trying to be mature and take my lumps for something that was an unfortunate and incredibly regrettable mistake. You can make any judgments you would like, but to trying to say any of this was intentional you are calling me a liar with zero real proof. And if you are going to do that, have the honor of doing that to my face or directly not on an anonymous forum.
If all of this was really intentional, wouldn't I be trying to hid it? If I knew what I was doing was wrong, why the hell would I use my real name? I had moved to a new area, no one knew me and no one checks ID's so I could have used any name. I didn't because I wasn't hiding. And if I was trying to do that, why would I put myself on here, using all the information that obviously makes it easy to find anything out about me? If you are going to try to connect all of these dots, can you be intellectually honest and factor that in? Go back and look at the wintertime open this year, my name is listed there twice with both numbers... please explain to me how I caused that to happen? Did I actually play as two different people in the same division on the same days? Mistakes happen everyone, it doesn't make it right or somehow justify the mistakes, but they happen and often they are unintentional.
As for comments I have made in other topics. I have zero idea what anything I had to say about Salient has to do with this, almost everyone was saying the same things that I was. As for opening the TD books to anyone at an event, I still fully stand behind that comment. You can say that I should have known, and that's fine, but trying to call me a thief is another thing all together. In the one sanctioned event that I ran, all of our Am's got players packs worth the value of their entry (disc golf bag, 2 custom discs and more) PLUS we paid out to the PDGA tables. We did the same thing in our unsanctioned event that we also ran. I also have volunteered countless hours and money to other events including creating and running the Memorial Experience at the Memorial, which brought in thousands of people to get to see disc golf for the first time. So trying to say that I am a thief or trying to hide something is completely false.
I know there is blood in the water and that some people just can't resit a train wreck but seriously what more do you want? I have already contacted the PDGA and I am suspended for who knows how long. What will be a good enough penalty for you all? Lifetime suspension? Maybe we should get law enforcement involved and maybe I need to be arrested for this horrendous crime? Maybe the death penalty? Maybe I should have just ended it all before I was hospitalized in the midst of everything happened in my life at that time. Would that appease you all?
Most of you have never met me and you are making snap judgments about me, and I realize that is what the internet is for. I made a mistake, a mistake that I was unaware of and I wish to everything that I am I would have known so I could have done it differently. People that know me know that I am a very honorable person and do a lot for this sport without getting anything back. I am very passionate and that has gotten me in trouble many times. But I am not a liar, a thief or a cheat. I have spent the last two years trying to get over those things that happened in my life...some of you on here feel it's ok to make homosexual jokes at my expense. Is that really what you think is considered appropriate? I would ask for a little compassion and understanding. I have not hid and I have faced this head on. I have contacted the proper people to deal with the situation. What more do you want? I am very very sorry for everything that I have done and wish this had all happened differently.
