Steve, you know i like and respect you, so please do not take what i say as a judgement but as an observation.

i think in this instance you got angry at lawn's failure to stick to the letter of the agreement due to your recent issue with dano and you overreacted. your state of mind is understandable, you had already been mistreated by someone you thought you could trust and now someone you owe no trust to appears to fail you. you let your anger get the better of you for the moment. you are right for your disappointment for lawndart failing to live up to the letter of his agreement, but you were wrong to allow your anger at another person complete failure to act in an honest manner to cloud your judgement in your dealings with a different person in a different matter.

in my mind he was late so you were late, was it responsible adult behavior? no, it was anger and frustration controlling your actions. but you are not a thief nor are you some kind of "bad" person because of it, just one who allowed his emotions to interfere with his intelect. i don't think there is a human on the planet that has not at some moment in their lives suffered from "cranial-rectumnitis", so to hell with the judgements of the masses.

you have since made it right and lived up to your complete obligation, you owe nobody anything, let alone explanations to those who are posting here only to stir the pot.

Sunbat, you are completely in the wrong here. Muppet conversation needs to be kept in the Muppet forum. you have fueled the fire of outsiders by your statements in here. you were quoted and used as an example to impeach Steve's character based not so much on your words but upon the fact that you are a fellow Muppet speaking out against him. when a squaddie publicly denounces you well then you must be guilty. in this forum Sunbat your behavior is wrong and irresponsible.

as are mine for calling you out on your behavior publically, but the world at large needs to understand that Steve is a Muppet held in high regard by most Muppet's for his honesty and integrity and that your words should not be held as a public denouncement of Steve by all Muppet's.

your issue with steve in this matter is being discussed in house, that is where it belongs, not here.

Short story..

Someone buys something from ya and then hasn't sent payment to ya after 2 weeks, refuses to answer Pm's and you have no way of contacting him/her. Do you call them out on the BBS and expose what you feel?? No names will be given so don't ask, but irony is what he is doing to me happened to him.

Man, you TOTALLY got your question answered.  This place is way better than ask.com :)

Steve and I have discussed this in private and he has convinced me that my statements were incorrect.  I do not doubt that he will do the right thing with all of this.  Sometimes family members fight, but that doesn't mean they aren't family.  I let my emotions cloud my judgement. I apologize to all involved.  Peace.

I know things did not quite work out the way you had hoped it would Steve.

I know ebfd pretty well and I am sure when he said about over-nighting the stuff to you he had no idea how expensive that would be. This is a lack of foresight on his part. I am sure of one thing though, he most likely stood there for a while pondering what to do and felt like crap for quite sometime after making the decision to send it the less expensive route. The thing is he would do most anything for anyone even if he does not know you all that well. And just so you know the big reason the expense was such a big deal is he has had to endure less income for the sake of caring for a family member that needs round the clock care and not just the fact that he did not want to spend the money. (Hopefully not too much info for you eb)

I also commend you Steve for taking the time to cool off before making a decision about your dilemma. I can not say I would have. Many people myself included have a tendency to assume the worst and take the first action that comes to mind.

ebfd I suggest the next time not making it public though. More times than not it creates witch hunts that have tendencies to blow things out of proportion.
