I've had way to many people get into the site and screw with it, it's cost us way to much to relocate out of the area we were in... so I'm just done.

You win... I'm sincerely sorry to have pissed so many people off, caused the trouble I did, and for everything else. Wasn't my intentions... I shouldn't have come in here with a chip on my shoulder, but I did. I know the letter was worded badly, and I didn't realize it was that copy that was sent to the printer. The site was originally based on being sarcastic and rude, and as I and others that consulted with me saw the potential to turn this into a good thing, we felt that it was best to be more professional. Can't change what's been done... the past is the past, and I apologize. I tried to listen to everyone's complaints that were passed on to me from friends on the board after the fact, and I knew this is where the thread was going to go, which is why I asked Erik to take it down so I could get things corrected before it got too late. Most of the changes made were planned (going non-profit especially), and I agreed with you all about taking those not convicted off the site (except DUI charges- 99% of them don't get dismissed), but that didn't please anyone, so I'll just move on in my life to other things- mainly for the sake of my brother, kids, and my deceased father (BTW- that picture you guys have of him was taken less than a week before he died from a 3 year battle with cancer- he served our country for 38 years and was on hospice care when they took that... it took 3 of us to be able to hold him up to take that shot).

I admire you all for pulling together and voicing your opinion. Wish I could have had the time to make the changes in order to make it more satisfactory to you all without being in the spotlight. I'd still love to do it and change it to a DUI & sex based site... but that won't be receiving any of my effort anytime soon... I've got other things to work on.

I will thank you all for giving my site the attention that it did also. I got a lot of communications from people wanting to back BlabberMouth financially, and I'm considering talking to them about other aspects of what BlabberMouth could be in other ways. If anything ever comes about from it, I'll keep my word and still make the donation I told Erik I was going to on the phone- especially since you guys hooked me up with about $600,000 worth of free advertising (in PR & Media relations... "good press... bad press... it's still all press, and any press is good press!") and got my name spread.

If anyone posted my brother or dad's images on this or other sites, I would appreciate it if they were removed. You can keep my stuff up... I don't care about it, but out of respect for them (they had nothing to do with this), I ask that you give my brother a fair shot in life and not be destroyed by something I did- it's not his fault and he shouldn't have to be punished for my actions.

No hard feelings on my side... sometimes an initial idea doesn't pan out and needs to go back to the drawing board, and you guys made me realize that.

Tombstone- I love the images you did. I'll give you other pictures to use if you want to expand your creativity.

AND AGAIN... Jason had NOTHING to do with BlabberMouth. He was just someone that I talked with when it was getting going, and he was listed as an "ORGANIZER", not an OWNER... so I request that you please leave him out of this, as he nor his family had nothing to do with the day-to-day operations. JUST ME.


Any-hoot... I'm out... Time for your victory dance in 3.... 2.... 1....
