i dont know what to say really, i'm a trusting person, always have been always will b, i always think the best of ppl and give the benefit of the doubt that ppl r for real and dont lie or stretch the truth...its that bad of me? i feel like this stuff with iceman is crazy, still dont know what to think, i had high respect for him and now i'm really concerned bout him. i'm not gonna slam on him, i'm hopin that if he needs a friend that he will know that i'm here for him regardless of if his story was true or not, i hate bringing this up but i have to defend myself against all the post that included my name and how i was stickin up for a friend. i feel that all this is my fault, i shouldnt have posted anything bout it, i should have kept it to myself, i just know that we are a community and wanted everyone to know that one of our fellow AH'rs was in a bad situation and let that person know that we all care bout each other, i guess i have learned my lesson on this and it will deffinatly never happen again. i still have no problem with iceman and i will never give him crap bout this, i will however <~~> him everytime i see him in the game. that is all, just wanted to share a thought for a moment. ty for listening <>~~

Who cares what they think Betty? You did what you thought was right, no one was hurt. No harm, no foul.

posting it was probably the best thing that you could do.

if it isnt true then he has to deal with the consequences of his actions.

if it is he will see that lots of people care about him and love him.

either way, it is appearant that you care and you are to be commended for being
as forgiving as you are.

motto.

always forgive. never forget.

I think lazs said he wanted to comfort you in your time of sorrow.

You're not the first person to fall for an intardnet story, and you won't be the last. Don't sweat it.

It's never a bad thing to see the good in people and hope you see clearly. Though caution is never a bad thing either. You believed you saw clearly and believed in yourself. That alone is all good.

Salute Betty.

Betty while your loyalty is admirable , best thing to do is let it die .

That's the best advise I can give .

Betty,

There is a difference between being a trusting and caring person and being gullible and easy to manipulate. Understand the difference. Also, the internet in general, and online bulliten boards and forums in particular are terrible places to expect honesty and decency. Learn from this. I try to use these forums strictly for my own entertainment. And I will tell you, your "I dont know if I should post this" thread was the BESTEST all year!

Betty --

It's been said before, but sometimes it helps to hear it again

You think you know somebody, they seem trustworthy. They tell you a story, and there's nothing in it to make you suspicious. You pass it on to the community so we can, well, be a community.

You did absolutely nothing wrong. I repeat, NOTHING.

Some folks get jollies from criticising others. Ignore them. You cared about what happened to someone you trusted, who you had no reason to distrust. You're in the clear.

There's no doubt Ice (or whatever new name he may come back with) is feeling embarrassed now. He should also be ashamed of the way he hurt his friends.

Dont give it another thought, Betty. Go blow something up (IN THE GAME!!!) -- you'll feel better.

It is very disappointing when it involves a longterm member of a community like AH. I believe in this community and am thankful for it!

he was a retard before and still is a retard. this story was just as retarded as his last. Yeager is right though, that was an awesome thread. no point in justifying yourself. Oh yeah, and MT is right. Laz heard you on vox one night and that inspired him to want to give a helping hand.
