Todd,

Don't let this one guy get you down. This is why I quit posting at AVS forums. So many people that treated everyone else like dirt. Hopefully the mods will take care of this guy.

A while back, I posted some frustration I had over someone attacking a Newbie with some English issues. I had to stand up for him. You had to stand up to. The Internet is full of rudeness, and no one will change that. But you have done an excellent job changing this forum. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have so many HT threads check in on, which are full of some of the nicest guys I've ever met. Except Sean, that guy has problems.

Seriously, I look at these threads as our domain. NO A$$Holes allowed. This thread, which is close to 3000, is a great oasis.

You have to come back.
Hey Travis,

I remember you leaving and I remember as I asked you not to. You eventually came back and took your own advice to ignore those who don't matter, and instead focus in on those threads and those people who you had things in common with. Good for you....we're glad you came back buddy!

See Todd? There is no point in leaving as you'll be back anyway....we're like family!

John

He never responded and to this day I won't respond to any of his comments and him neither. Kinda stupid when you think about it. LOL!

True enough! I'm like you in that regard. I could care less what they rate me at...I know how my system sounds and that's all that matters.

Todd,

Sorry I just now found out about this. Don't sweat it my friend. Just know that there is 1 a$$hole born per minute but there are more people here with class and dignity. You can take a few just to get this out of your system but please don't leave.

Hello Todd.

Hello Everyone!
I think some intervention and clarity is needed here.
I need to explain what happened because Todd (Bless his heart) was defending me! A while back when I first established my gallery, with receiving the kind words and kudos and accolades, JDFlex expressed in his comment that there was nothing special about my setup, he's seen much better. And all of the digital devices was overkill. He also said that the only thing decent about my system was the cable management. Oh yeah, he also gave me a "1" rating. Was I put off by it? Absolutely! For some of us, our setups are an extension of who we are, so I take a comment like that kind of personal. Well, my first inclination was to give his system a "1"! But that would have been very immature because, he has a very nice system and regardless of what he said, i gave him kudos and a 9 rating. I would have given him a 10, but I was a little miffed about what he said. I even posted a positive comment about his system, as if nothing ever happened. I did get a little nudge in there by saying, "But I've seen better also!"

Now, I have to tell you, another poster commented about DJflex's post and rating stating in a very polite way that my system deserved more than a 1.
I guess DJFlex felt a little guilt and changed "1" rating to an "8" and made sure I knew by posting the fact that he changed the rating. So to me, it's over and everything's good.

Well weeks pass and is now Todd is on the seen. And being Todd, he's getting to know everyone and getting acquainted and reading posts and viewing galleries. Well he happened to be perusing my gallery and came across DJFlex's comment. Well, being the guy Todd apparently is, if he has considered himself your friend, believe it, he will go thru the fire for you and defend you if it's warranted and just! Todd then posted me about DJFlex's comment and he wasn't happy about it! Well ironically, I had discovered over in the gallery section, that DJFlex had expressed to several members who owned various types of bluray players that they should GET RID of their current BDP player and buy the Oppo BDP-83 because it blows away everything else especially the Sony BDP-S550. He really had an attitude about the Sony for some reason. Now, everyone is entitled to an opinion. He likes the Oppo, fine! But there is this concept called manners! And that wasn't on DJ's priority list when emphasizing how the targeted posters should rid themselves of the all things of the bluray persuasion that is not an Oppo!

No doubt, the Oppo BDP-83 is the shi-nizzle! Great performance value yada, yada, yada.....but there is a way to suggest/inform/educate...if you know what I mean.

So I PM'd DJFlex, being that we've had some history, and I very politely and diplomatically expressed to him the art of persuasion and suggestion. Well he didn't like what I had to say and basically told me to mind my business. Now little did I know, while all of this was going on, Todd was fuming and probably sent the guy a PM, reading him the riot act about criticizing my setup.

I stayed professional and polite and tried to give him a different perspective on how his suggestion sounded. It did get ugly for a spell, but we came to an understanding and everything was cool again. He even deleted the original comment about how unspecial my system was. DJ sent me a very kind and apologetic PM about what he said and hope that we could be friends. I'm like, "Sure, it's all good!"

Meanwhile, Todd is boardering on furious because he doesn't like anyone messing with his friends! And I guess, he and DJFlex had a few exchanges which led to DJ referring to Todd as an @$sh*le!
Now there's something wrong with the time line because, I had posted in my gallery to DJFlex that he did not have to nor did I want him to delete his post regarding the deficiencies of my system. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I valued his because I believe diversity is a stepping stone to understanding and learning and seeing another perspective. As a matter of fact, what some may have thought negative, I saw some positive and it was in an obscure way, a motivator for me to clean up my cable management.

I posted Todd explaining to him why I handled it the way that I did and for the most part, DJFlex is a nice guy. And although he may not post in the forum per se, but he does comment in the gallery section and it's usually positive input.
Todd saw the post and apologized to me this morning about the things he said to me earlier regarding his resenting DJFlex's statement. I told him that it was cool and I thanked him for being there for me.

Now what transpired after that, I have no idea and for Todd to want to leave the forum is totally unacceptable! He is the glue that keeps us together and the life source of Home Theater Galleries Section. Always positive, upbeat and gracious. And in no small part the reason why I spend most of my time here than over at AVSForums!
I've been trying to put the words together to express on how much he is appreciated around here. Todd, if you are reading this, YOU ARE BIGGER THAN THAT FIASCO! Your presense is not only wanted, it's expected!

This was sent to me from Todd earlier his morning.
Todd:
Quote:
I apologize for the drawn out story, but I do feel kind of repsonsible for what happen, because he was coming to my defense and that says alot!

So guys, there you have it.
I wanted to say Hello and I Hope You Have and Enjoy,A Great Friday,my Friend.

I am also sorry for the comment I left.
I truly meant no harm.I just saw that one comment and I found it to be offensive.

But with it being your Gallery I should have known you would have dealt with it,if you saw such a need. So,I would Sincerely like to offer my apologies.

I have deleted the comment I left yesterday.And I understand exactally every word you said,as well as how you view everything.

I have a Great Deal of Respect for your philosophy and the way you are able to handle issues in such a civil manner(at a loss for a better word for the moment).

I hated to start off on the wrong foot with getting to know you,and offer my Sincere Apologies.I guarantee now that I understand you and your way of looking at life that I wont do that again.

Besides we are at a point where no matter how a comment may make me feel,I believe you are capable of handling things on your own.

But I do still feel as if you have a Truly Amazing System(each and every component)And NO Number of Multi-Disc Players are too many to have.As,I can see a purpose,use,and need for each and every one.

So,I wanted to apologize and also tell you I understand,while at the same time letting you know how I had interpreted things.
The link below is my gallery and you will see the last exchanges Todd and I had. Although he did delete one that really displayed his dissatifaction.

It is like I had said, there is no bad guy here guys. It is a huge misunderstanding based on a poor timeline where Lawrence was taking care of the matter and Todd was trying to defend his friend's "honor" at the same time. I say this not to degrade or ridicule djflex, as that would not be justified in this scenario, and I think Lawrence agrees. I have tried to call Todd and he won't answer the phone. I will try again shortly, and try to persuade him to at least read this thread to show our genuine concern for him......

EDIT: still no answer on the phone.....

Thanks Lawrence for shedding some light on this, because I didn't have a clue as to what totally transpired. Your efforts to explain this are very much appreciated by me, and Im sure others as well.

+1. I was reading back on previous posts and wasn't picking up on whatever was going down. Todd will/and has gone off when someone gets out of line especially to someone he considers a friend. I believe he has even done it a few times in my thread. I've had someone complain about posts between the same people and some other stuff when he should've just said hi and joined in the conversation. Not like any of us say 'don't post in my thread' to other members and this is an exclusive invite only club. There will always be *ssholes that come up from time to time. Best thing is to ignore it...move on...and if it is really out of hand contact a mod about things. Todd I hope you come back buddy as it will be a great loss for all of us not having you around. You are truly appreciated among most all on here and don't let one individual who is ignorant ruin things for you.

This is a sad day.

I hope my comment about the complexity of his posts did not add to this distaste for the forum. I meant it in the nicest of ways.

Todd, if you read this, please accept my apologies. I was not making fun, but commenting simply on how involved and complex your posts are and how lazy I feel with my sometimes "two word review." I hope you change your mind and come back. There are many more people on this forum that like you, respect you, and look forward to your insights everyday.

Don't bail out on your friends You have no control over the idiots !!! I understand how this sorta thing can get under a person's skin, but why let some random fool ruin your hobby.

Todd,

We love you!

Just clicked, clicked ,clicked the mouse and wound up at DJFlex's statistic page. The list of recent visitors made me chuckle. All the guys from here.

I don't think everyone would be so interested in him if it was a member other than you. When you do come back, hopefully tomorrow, you are going to have to read through a few dozen posts on this thread, all about how no one can deal with you leaving and how important you are to all of us.

Your friend,
Travis

Todd, look at the simple facts. Everyone here loves to hang out with you and talk HT stuff/life/etc., you know that. Some random a$$hole comes in, craps on LDGibsons's nice setup, some turmoil ensues and you're gonna leave because of that guy?

Stay here with your friends. It would be a lot colder in here without you man. Anyways, hope to see you soon.

Default Todd/Talstarone Death Star -- Come back brother!!

Todd,
After reading your PM to myself & a few others, & the last 2 or so pages here, including especially LdGibson76's explanation of what went down, like Many Others have already stated here: DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF ONE LOW-LIFE CLOWN/SCUMBAG/IDIOT/MORON/WORTHLESS PIECE OF SH%T BRING YOU DOWN "MY GREAT GREAT FRIEND!!!!!!" -- Now, if the words above are too harsh & the 2 main parties have Patched things up to an Extent, then I will come back & remove them & extend apologies. Also, hopefully you took some excellent words of Advice & contacted a Mod or 2 to let them know what transpired & maybe have said person booted off here or suspended for a while if need be.

Myself, Crazy, Forsberg21 (Johnnypie!! ), John49184, errr, 867-5309, errr, 911, or OU812, errr, whatever the heck it is/was (lol, joking buddy! "JOHN72953! ), Lou, Gates, GeologyNut, TBizzle, PHansson, Rded, SeanMF, Travis, DMC86X, Progers13, & Anyone else whose Great Posts I've read in the last 20-30 minutes --- We ALL Love you as an incredible Kind & Caring Friend; You are probably THEE MOST Giving & Compassionate beyond words at times, True GENTLEMAN on This & possibly any other HT site that I've Ever come across.

Remember the last few months, how many of us here Banded together to Surprise you with the Light Saber, some of the other Star Wars posters, a bluray or 2, etc. -- Do you know of ANYONE ELSE on this site that SO MANY OF US feel Such ADMIRATION FOR, that we just "Wanted to" not "had to", but Wanted to pool our resources & send you a few gifts to show what MANY if not ALL of us Feel towards you, "OUR GREAT FRIEND", (as you are so fond of saying to us in many of your Eloquent & so nicely worded posts)? The Answer is NO. The way You come to anyones' defense here if someone gives them a harsh word of two, a bad unwarranted review of comment, is just a Small expression of what a True Friend you are to so very many of us here.

Whether on the POLK AUDIO/ANYTHING GOES Thread ( ), CrazyBLUE's Thread, Forsberg21's Thread, LDGibson76's Thread, etc., etc. you Always seem to say something Extremely POSITIVE & KIND about them on pretty much any post & or helpful bit of HT Info You are looking for, or someone else might be asking about. I have a feeling some of this "may" be related to your recent posts about not feeling so great about turning 40 next week, but if I'm wrong & it's an Isolated/seperate incident, my Sincerest Apologies buddy. You KNOW I am sure, how I feel about what a great FRIEND & PERSON YOU have been to me. <---- (I am sure ANY one who has ever met you in this or any other thread or PM'd with you, would surely say the same thing or agree in their own way).

So hopefully You WILL Read this post & know that as the saying goes, "Don't let one ROTTEN APPLE Spoil the whole bushel", or something like that (Lol---I know you know what I mean; the actual saying kind of escapes me at the moment). Your Thread is one of the Most POPULAR ones on Blu-Ray.Com. I mean, it just went over what, 3000 Posts a page back or so, right??!! --- There's a reason for that. People Do NOT keep coming back to something they Don't Like or ENJOY, am I right? Hell to The Yeah, as the kids say...

Wow, I just realized how LONG this post Is! Lol, in the true Spirit of one of your Classic & Epic Posts, in a way, right? A kind of TRIBUTE to you, if you will -- You know what they say about the Sincerest form of Flattery is. Well, your Honor, color me Guilty as charged! When something NEEDS to be said, in 5 words, or 500, then so be it.

HOPEFULLY this post & some of the Great ones before & after, will All Help get You "BACK WHERE YOU BELONG!" -- Right the F*$K Here Todd/Tals'. We are ALL your friend, & if you need a day or so to sort things out, we'll still be here. WE will be keeping YOUR thread going if we have to.

We are All Your "BAND OF BROTHERS" Todd!!!

Hi Todd,

Though I'm fairly new here, it pains me to hear you're leaving. Reading your posts was/is an absolute joy. You are a day brightener, my friend. And you always put a smile on my face. There's always going to be someone who likes to antagonize. Let it roll off you like water off a ducks back. I know that sometimes that's easier said than done. As Tony Soprano would say, forgetaboutit.

In this crazy world, you are one of the kindest, most genuine person I've ever come across. I mean that, Todd.

Please sleep on it and come back in the morning!

Hey todd,
As you can see everyone want you back. I know you are a though fellow and I expect to see you chatting real soon.

If you remember a few people have left and came back or almost left. I was one of the almost that left.

I was attacked by someone who claimed I was lying about my break-in and this person went as far as to talk about it on another site. This other site I mentioned, I was on it, but I never really did anything but read or leave a little comment.

This person lives on the other side of the country and was talking mess, because I didn’t like a product he loved. I didn’t attack him; the item was just something that didn’t work for me.

As a matter of fact, the guy pissed me off to a point that I did go off on the product and I used words like “I could have said”, “but I didn’t say”. Even after my going off I thought it was dumb of me and I deleted the post and that same person just happen to copy and paste what I posted. He tried to make me look bad and I actually think he did a good job, because a few people stop chatting with me after that. The same people who love that product.

Bottom line, things like this happen or come up, but I don’t think you should leave your friends.

Maybe I shouldn’t say this part, but it’s rude to leave the people you know that care about you!! (please don’t misunderstand that statement)

Todd, buddy, sorry I have been away for the last few days, just catching up on the posts. Sorry to here about the things that have transpired. Please don't leave. I really appreciate your posts and your generosity and amazing knowledge you are so willing to provide when I or other members of this wonderful forum have questions. I am inspired by the wealth of knowledge you have and your willingness to share it. I am truly grateful for that!

Its tough sometimes to hear what others say. Like many have already stated, come back and let this pass under the bridge. I have just read almost 2 pages of wonderful posts on the intergrity, sincerity, kindness, and many other attributes you have been blessed with. Don't let one persons words deter you from friendships that I can see from the last several pages. Todd, we are all here for you, when the rough times come up to the celebrations we each have over the achievements in our setups/HT's, friendships, and personal ongoings each and every day.

You are one in a million, I mean that! I haven't been around long on the forum, we don't know each other that well, but thanks for your kindness, generosity, sincereity, and willingness to offer suggestions and help when needed. Cheers Todd!!

Todd, My Friend, please don't leave us. A similar thing transpired with me awhile back, and so many wonderful friends here showed me how important it is to stay and be with your friends, your extended family buddy. Let no one drive you out! We are all here for you, by your side, always! You mess with one of us, you mess with us ALL! Hear that EVERYONE ELSE?! Come back my good friend, and be well. Always, your friend, D.

I appreciate all of the Kind Sentiment and Posts,Sincerely.

I have NEVER Spoken to this JD or DJFLEX charecter at ALL.

[B]I merely posted a comment in ldgibsons gallery stating that this flex charecter had no reason to say the things he did nor rate the way he rated/B].

ldgibson said he was entitled to his opinion,and it didn't bother him. So I deleted my comment as this was in the morning.

Well thie day went well and I decided to look at my Gallery and what did I see but 3 comments by this djflex or whomever this guy is.
Talking all kinds of crap and trying his best to belittle me.

And at the end of the comment he ended it with You're such an A$$H0LE.And there were 2 Blank spaces where he had also commented and deleted them.


I shouldn't of let him get to me like this.
I know better then to over react like I did.So I apologize to everyone here about the way I left.
And fors,I am sorry I didn't answer the phone.I was so mad and irate I was afraid if I spoke to you I would have ended up saying something I shouldn't have.
Not because I was mad at you,but because I was mad period.


I can be a Nice Guy and I can me a Nightmare.
I just happen to have a very long fuse.Well having to read all the crap this guy left on my gallery talking crap about me and then calling me an A$$H0le was all it took to light the fuse with the week I have already had.

Anyother day or week I wouldn't have even have sweated it.Just of all times its during a week that I am already having a terrible time of.

So my lesson is learned.And,I will put my gallery back this weekend. Here I spend the first of the week talking about how great the members here are,and I run into 1 of the very few Negatives of Blu-Ray.Com.

All I can say is I sincerely Hope,that this flex guy and myself dont cross paths anytime soon.

And when I found out ldgibson tolerated the comment I deleted mine out of respect to ldgibson and this flex charecter. But it seems he had left his comment sometime Thursday night,and I just didn't see it till Yesterday.

And I will agree with him saying my system doesn't have any high end parts,because it doesn't.
How could it.I live with my Parents and am on Social Security Disability.I make $1000.00 per month and insurance,doctors,prescriptions,and helping my parents with the bills leaves me around $100.00 a month(on a good month with no unexpected purchases).


But to start a week with your right contact lens getting destroyed(and I have to get an eye exam and pay for new contacts which my Insurance covers $0.00 of was a bad start,)
Then add a Migraine so severe I had to go to bed about 1 in the afternoon(and I still cant completely get rid of it)

then some otherthings I cant discuss happens(basically me taking things the wrong way)

Add in the fact I am turning 40 in a few days and haven't accomplished a single goal I planned for myself in life.

Then the one place I go that I enjoy I find that for doing what I thought was right,by sticking up for someone,led me to have this guy talk crap about me thru out the comment.

Personal stuff about myself and how I am a Hater and this and that.Only to see it end with the classic phrase that I am an A$$h0Le.Just set me off.

So,to All of my Friends I am Truly Sorry for handling things the way I did.It was best I took everything down and left for the night.If not I would have got myself banned for what I would have done.

So,to everyone who posted and sent me PM's Thank You and I am sorry I did what I did like this.You guys shouldn't have been put in the middle.But,Like I said I NEVER SPOKE TO THIS DJFLEX GUY AT ALL.AND HE CALLS ME AN A$$H0Le.

So there was Never any point where we went back and forth with post or messges or anything else to that.And even now I have NEVER spoke to him or left him a Message at all.

So,other then sticking up for someone,thats ALL I did.Well I have said enough.I will put the galleries back up in time.Maybe after I make some of the additions and changes,I dont know.

But,I Sincerely Pray this week gets NO Worse then it already has been.If so I will probably lose it.
