THE Apology
 

Ahem.....
OK.....
Alright..........

Here we go.......


I messed up fellas.
I escalated things to a level that I should not have breached. Regardless of my stance in any argument, my views in a forum fight, or the objectives behind a specific action. I encroached into an area that I should not have. And for that, I am sorry.

I apologize for capturing "real life" pictures and posting them for my own benefit without getting the permission slips signed. It was wrong y'all.
I get that.
I mean it.
I'm sorry. It was a nerd fueled rage.
Yes, I generally pushed the envelope. But there are some things that should not have to be addressed. That said, I crossed el línea, plan and simple.

I speak for all the #1 Good Guys in saying, we are sorry for da blog posts featuring joedios members in a less than flattering manner. I am also sorry to inform y'all that the Batman Begins/Dark Knight movie franchise is in jeopardy as no one will sign on as the villain after seeing the fierce new Batman de Nate.

Real Talk.
I love joedios regardless of its faults. My 8,000 threads, posts, comments, and pics, speak for themselves. That said, joedios is one of my favs and I will try harder to embrace that role.
Show yo boy some slack.


I would also just like to say a big thanks to everyone that backed us up during this whole debacle. All the emails and convos were greatly appreciated. So Xander, Dan, Claudio de Chile, Scarrviper, Blackblast, Falcon Chile, Prince Adam, Dan Contrino, Flatline, DreadnokDread, Nekoman, (Italian)Snake Eyes, SuperTatipapa, Cyko and all the other peeps and yes, even you Nathan, Thanks. You're all #1 and good guys.

Siento mucho herir tus sentimientos... pero no puedo estar contigo ahora.
Lo siento mi amigos.

Welcome back man. Now maybe the site can get back to normal. things feel alil strange around here?

Here where I live, in real life, you would have been kicked to get your teeths out of your mouth, due to some stupidits, however I think everyone can regreat what they did and do things better. Look at Agent Viper... Well, let things behind and work for the better.

If you're being serious about the photos, and all the other stuff, the removal of those photos from your blog site and other places you have them would go a long way to making your apology genuine.

Deeds, not words.

I pulled all the photos I could before work this morning. I am out working in the field today away from my computer, but I'll pull all the rest this afternoon. I'm on my Phone right now. It will all get taken care of.
Fresh start.

Apology
 

Everybody is human and has messed up big somewhere through the path of life. I feel it's time to move on and welcome FF back to the family.

Welcome back Fireflyed, this joint wasn't the same without ya! :D

Fireflyed, it takes a lot of balls to come and do this. You are a damn good person for coming back and apologizing.

I too apologize for our disagreements and public displays of being rude to say the least.

Oh, to be on the safe side, I love your Garage set, AND the posters hanging in it.


-Matt

I second that. . . or third, or whatever! Anyone who was paying attention to the forum threads and pics saw there were issues between you and some other members. And although I don't condone or justify your actions, I understand your emotional state-of-mind. Anyone should be able to understand thatand forgive you, and with that being said welcome back!

Fireflyed and Roland da Thompson Gunner and I have been (separately) emailing back and forth quite a bit about this issue. I learned a lot about them as artists, and as men. With this apology, I welcome them back. Fireflyed and Roland da Thompson Gunner, I am very much looking forward to more of your incredible pictures (and less drama). :)

I'm not sure what to say here. A lot of it mirrors what Shane already said. Apologies and sorrow is nice, but that's just talk. Proper amends need to be made. Rigorously honest amends at that.

I can accept that you were angry and you retaliated. I can even understand, to a point.

How you make amends is up to you.

How you behave on this particular site is up to you.

In the end, it's nice to have you back.

Wooohoooooooo the arah gang is back and complete! Watch out new arah photo section! Hammer I've been attempting to only post in the arah section to get it
going! Hope it's helped and not made any one angry! I kinda like it! I still check the regular photos but am an arah fan first and for most! Did I say that right! Lol everyone welcome back chocolate city and dirty gunner! :D

It really has helped, DD. Please keep it up!

Nate to Cory and Ian:
"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Joedios. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm Joedios emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Joedios since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny f#*$ing Kaye. And when Dancontrino squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of a*@holes this side of the nuthouse. "

LOL :D

Welcome back guys

Now lets get back to business, and take awsome pics G.I. Joes of any type :)

O.k.!
 

Welcome back! Again...

Wtf!!!!.....?
 

Dan, quit hackin' my email! =)

cool welcome back

One for All, man

is good to have them back, that i was waiting,
now the circle is complete :D

Da Talent is a real man for doing this! I echo a lot of his sentiments.

I'd like to thank Hammerfel for being a good guy and actually listening to our sides of the story, also I can't remember if I replied to that last e-mail, but I agreed with you!

I'd also like to thank the following folks for their much appreciated support and well wishes during this turbulent and trying time! Scarrviper, Blackblast, Falcon Chile, Prince Adam, Dan Contrino, Flatline, DreadnokDread, Nekoman, (Italian)Snake Eyes, SuperTatipapa, Cyko and anyone else whom I may have forgotten. You are all #1 Good Guyz to the nth degree.

Edited the first post because Roland has a better memory than me. :D

Nice to see somebody with some balls, Cory.

I missed everything that went down but glad to see everyone is getting along again.

We can only hope everyone is. It's a two way street, some people are trying to get along with everyone. Others appear that they'd rather try to bait folks into an ugly situation.

Those people get banned.
