BlowTorch could never just do good for the sake of doing good....he had to be praised for everything. Were he really "All Dat" he would have just been generous and shut up about it. He HAD to TELL EVERYONE how gracious and giving he is/was. I tell people I give stuff away, but I don't go into detail about what or to who. They wanna know, they can ask around...I do it so people will know I'm a straight shooter, NOT so people will praise and Exault me!

And I HIGHLY doubt anyone offered to bribe him (except maybe the troll aka nightcreeper) because Blowtorch was so high on his own moral superiority he would have called them out. He wasn't above acting superior and trying to shame other forum members who he was jealous of....or wanted to be like....or wanted to date....I dunno what his problem was with a lot of us. He acted like a pompous @$$ and then got mad when no one wanted to be his friend and talk to him!

He had this juvenile need to be not only accepted, but worshipped, and if you didn't do it, he acted like you were slime. I forgot to thank him once for something extra he sent me (I got a Ton of stuff the same day and it all got mixed in together..and I was busy that week...I have a thousand reasons why I forgot, but not a good excuse) But rather than be cool and say "Hey, did you get that extra stuff I sent ya", he drug me out in the forums and acted all high and mighty like he was the fricken ettiquite Police! He was the main reason I left here for a while. I had no intention on coming back, but friends told me "Don't let the bastiches get you down"....and I didn't! I took a hiatus, collected my thoughts and returned!

You're right Luis didn't win that stuff. If you're so interested in BlowTorch and been reading his posts and KNOW him, you should know that OF ALL Things! Luis hated him and unlike most of us on here who couldn't stand him, and just Tolerated him, LUIS would let him know in no uncertain terms. No one here liked the guy, we just tolerated him. What your intrest in him is escapes my logic. unless you're him. If you're not drop it, let this thread, and his memory die and good riddance to whiners IMHO!
