Wow ........this makes me sad to read seriously, I hate when this place comes to this ...........TP4U .....here is the deal bro .....You are young , and you know I like you , but showing this kind of disrespect on here is honestly not a good representation of yourself what so ever ......You can say that you dont care , but you should ....You are a young person just starting to figure his way out in life and I understand that , I also understand Phil got you going and you took it from there [ I would have probally done the same thing ].........But TP , respect your elders bro .........Phil has been to places in this sport that most will never see or would want to .......How about having to sell gear in order pay for the bbing lifestyle [ I bet alot of good people on here have done so ....maybe people that you might even know ?] , getting set up by a friend , taking his punishment like a man [ which I believe cost him 3 yrs of his life and a close relationship with his daughters ], having everyone turn on him after his arrest , having the sport that he loved and lived for turn its back on him in his time of need , [ while many top guys were doing the exact same thing and not getting caught .....even watching the whole titus first arrest deal had to hurt big time ], he has also seen the aftermath and the damage that drugs cause on many levels , the politics , and he has seen and been approached / harrassed by the gay people that control the sport .......Hmmmm TP I dont call that being bitter ......I call that being EDUCATED !!! That is the difference between being 39 and 23 [ some things can only be seen over time and learned through life expirence ] ........There were some bad things said by both parties ........I realize that [ But also realize , when I have fucked up ,I always gone back and corrected my mistakes ....always ...taking shit to this level was a fuck up and should be corrected ] Show some class for yourself , the board , and to PHil and delete your posts [ I am sure he would follow suit ] All I can say is this ......just think about what I said ........before you have walked in another man's shoes and been where he has been .....dont judge ........You should be soaking up every word Phil shares around here , not because he is a great bber , but because bro , he has been through alot in his life and some of what he has to share might save you some heartache .............think about it and do what you want ........but I hope you take my advice [ I wont speak for PHil , but I am sure that he would take that as a truce and appreciate it .....and return the gesture by deleting his posts concerning you as well .......these petty attacks on eachother are ridiculus ........you dont need to like eachother, fine , but respect the board at least guys .......I know I am not perfect .....I have tried to be good for awhile [it is hard to bite my toungue at times ], but I do out of respect for the board ], and like I said ....I always fix my mistakes and take responsibility for my actions ] Do what you want fellas ........but since I am a member here ....that is my two cents .......
