A message from Dana

<< < (5/8) > >>

Hillbilly:
I know Dana and have met him personally more than once. There is one side of Dana that is good as gold, and I consider him a friend. There is also a side that has been very difficult for us to deal with. Many things happen here sometimes that are not seen by most members, because they are deleted before anyone has the chance to see them, or they happen behind the scenes out of the sight of most members. As Pat said, banning is not a quick or immediate action. It is the culmination of a long pattern of repeated behavior that is detrimental to the site and contrary to its rules. I sincerely hope that Dana can work through his problems, because he is a great guy and an asset to the board if the other part can be kept out of the picture. There is not a lot of point to us continuing this discussion on the board IMO, as it will eventually lead to more arguing. None of us or perfect. I have many faults myself, and don't always behave as I should. But we don't have that many rules, and they are not that hard to follow. 99% of the members here have never been warned or suspended, let alone banned, because they follow the rules.

El Destructo:
Well...I have been staying out of this one for personal reasons...My Wife is an Alcoholic...this does not just go away...in fact it never goes away...period...

Dana is in for a Long Struggle...The Struggle of His Life....Literally!

And When (I do have Hope) He gets a Grip on this Monster....He is going to need all of the Support He can Muster...I for one am on this Support Team...and will do what I can for Him...He will need a 12 step program...and all of the Local Help that He can gather also...the Closer the Support...The Better..

Dana is a damned good man...He needs help...and has reached out for it...now He just has to hold on and ride this Beast Out...I think He can do it..

Everyone that has Posted has said they have met or have chatted with....and Like Dana...the Real Dana...not the Drunk Dana....well...They are One in The same..I just pray He can get a Grip on His Addiction and be the Great Guy We all know and Love to be with...

Everyone who only knew Me through this Board...thought that I was an Arrogant...mouthy Bastard that Built decent Bows ...then They met Me at Pappy's...and found out that I am really...An Arrogant Mouthy Bastard that builds descent Bows and Knives too.... :P

So lets all Hope...Pray...or whatever You do...for Dana to get His Life together...and get another Chance to become a Brother on this Board again...you know that deep down ......We all miss Him...just my opinion...I may be wrong

I agree 100% Justin, that is the main concern for Dana. I dont know why i even posted on this thread, I dont know Dana at all. I guess it just hits home a little bit. I found myself in his situation years ago, and when things hit the fan for me, it was my family and friends support that got me through and to where i am today. Keeping him banded and at a distance will never let him prove himself or give him the support he needs. Please dont take what ive said as arguing or confrontational. Its just an observation and an opinion.

Jesse:
Personally I dont believe in psychiatrist's I think its a pseudo science. They have a much higher suicide and divorce rate than the regular population.  They like to bring up the past and give people more trouble than they already had. I say leave the past in the past and dont worry too much about the future. One day at a time. Never gonna solve all your problems so dont dwell on them. Real help comes from above not some $100 per hour shmuck that doesnt know any more than the next guy and has the same or worse problems them self.  JMO  ;D
