OK, I'm intruding on this thread.
First off, I'm not pro or con Coolhand, as he's never done myself or anyone wrong that I know about. But here's what I don't get. If he's truly wronged anyone personally, and you feel it's necessary to publicly confront those actions then why not address him in that manner, in his own forum? Why drag his name down in here, too?
This is so grossly gossipy.
As a mostly former RBR'er, one thing I don't do is talk about anyone from there. I was personally wronged by a member whose conduct toward me was reprehensible.
And yup, very publicly I let all hell's fury loose on him. It was necessary for a few reasons. However, when it was done and threads deleted, that was the end of the story as far as I was concerned. And if he were to show up in here under a different username, I most certainly wouldn't call him out.
I don't know the whole story here, and neither do I want to... maybe Coolhand's "earned" a bit of publicity for all I know. But is it really anyone's business that he's here, if he's not wronging anyone here?
Perhaps I'm lacking the "whole picture" so please pardon me if I don't get it, but from an objective viewpoint from someone new to this scene/culture...it's a let down to see this sh*t.
Dunno. Maybe this fish bowl is too rough for me too.
