First and foremost, I sincerely hope everyone is doing well, the old heads as well as the noobs... And I would like to thank Bones for his graciousness as well as some of the distinguished members here for facilitating my "reinstatement" I'm feelin like Pete Rose.
Papa Bones thought it would be appropiate for me to say a few words. I really dont want to draw undue attention to myself. Honestly, it's been a year you'd think I could have had something prepared and ready to cut n paste
No such luck this is going to be a total stream of conciousness job.
Well some of you probably missed me like you'd miss a scorching case of the clap.
During my time in "exile" I had a lot of time to reflect, and looking at some of those old posts and back n forths, I cant say that I blame them.
Besides as an occasional lurker here, it looks like the position of board curmudgeon has already been filled.
I was wrong about that one.... what I've learned is a message board is a bunch of fuckin zeros and ones.. what makes the board is the people.
I floated around to other boards, but you just didn't get the same back n forth, or find people that shared the same sense of humor etc.
This is a solid group of posters, and Bones should be commended for keeping it together.
Like I said, I'm not here to stir any unnecessary drama and shit. There's enough dysfucntion and drama concerning this team already
But shit.. if you're a true Raider fan, you're attracted to dysfunction and secrecy.. it's how they operate.
Anyhow, I seriously have seen the error of my ways, a year is a fuckin long time
MEA CULPA.
If anyone is now thinking of bailing because of me.. don't, I wouldn't want to put Bones in a spot like that. I will voluntarily bail myself.
