I rarely get around here any more and I even more rarely check my PM's so I did not see your message that you had been sentenced.

I am writing this publically, to honor you, as well as to let others who are still in the game know how high the stakes really are.

Someone did forward me information about the piece of sh*t that rolled on you. The fact that you chose to be honorable and not hurt others is a great testiment to your charactor.

I know you paid a price for not compromising. It is my sincere hope that you will be compensated for that.

In the meantime, I will ask everyone to pray for you and those you love.

I know that even as things are looking down you are looking up these days and that warms my heart.

Who else are we going to call upon? We are men at best!

We started as friends, and in the end got really messed up in our relationship.

But I sincerely have a place in my heart for you, and I am honored to know and have known you.

I don't even keep much contact with others I claim to love so I can't promise I will do all that good of a job contacting you, but if you will let me know where you will be doing your time, I will try to write.

This was not easy for me to write. But you know we give the rats plenty of board space, and at a minimum, we should give that much to the guys who act honorably!

God Bless and keep you always!

Thank you AB...I'm sorry to hear the news. Possibly positive thoughts, maybe letters would help in this rough time for him.

Also good to see you around Allbeef.

AB,

Thanks, my brother. I will email you.

Yes, we started as friends, and then near the end sadly things got messed up. Probably my fault; we were both under pressures that most people will never understand. But just as we started as friends, we can finish as friends, and I've got nothing but love now for you, and for the other good people who I met along the way.

As I've said before, it was a hell of a ride. But I have few regrets, and little I would change, and all being said I enjoyed the journey and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I will self-surrender in July. USP Lewisburg, here I come LOL! Until then, I get to enjoy the summer with my family.

Much love, and respect, and everybody stay safe,

Sides

You are an honorable man. It is good to finally see someone with a pair of balls. You didnt roll as so many others have. Honor and integrity is something nobody including the govt. can take away from you. Wish you all the good luck in the world and my prayers are with you.

I'd say "Stay strong brother", but that's a given that you will. Just keep in mind that circumstances can't change the charactor of a man. So keep focused on all the good you did. Find a way to let the next couple years strengthen you even more.

Kane · Jun 21, 2008

To say I have much respect for you would be an understatement. Not many men would do what you've done. They may take away your freedom for several years but that's better than losing your honor, integrity and character. Once those are taken from a man, he'll never truly get them back and he's no longer a man. You've shown your strength and I have no doubt that you'll persevere.

God bless

have not been here in a while, can someone fill me in what this is all about? Sides got sentenced? details please.

JETHRO TULL · Jun 21, 2008

I have no clue about any of the facts.

It sounds like those who DO know you are impressed with you as a man.

I respect honor. Good for you. I am sorry this happened to you.

Physick · Jun 21, 2008

I don't know the story here but I obviously have an idea of what is happening more or less. But just the fact that you are taking this like a man and with a good attitude to boot makes me have a ton of respect for you. So much that I can't do it justice typing it out on a message board so I won't try. Very few people like you left in the world today. MUCH Respect!
