It’s kind of hard to read Brian’s paragraphs. Brian, you’re awesome and you deliver the scoop on a lot of CE news, but please please please consider using subject headers and spaces between paragraphs. You can make up a funny headline for each paragraph (“007 finally meets his match in home robbery”).

I hope all is okay too Kevin. I also hope they get the hoodlums who put you through that. I’d like to put them through a 12th story window!

Why is it such a struggle to read Brian’s paragraphs? What are you an english profes? I don’t see anything wrong with it. Headers for each paragraph on bits and pieces? That’s llike asking mike tyson to take up ballet. Try reading some of Don’s Lerman editioral which makes Brian come off as a literary genius

I hope everything is ok with Kevin. He’s a good guy and doesn’t need this crap.

You’re absolutely right Badlands. I didn’t mean to come across as insensitive. I really do hope all is well with Kevin.

I wasn’t exactly planning to make a public announcement about this, but now that it’s on here. . .yes, the story is true. I am very glad to have a loving family and friends who are staying with me and helping me through this. This kind of crap happens to all sorts of people on a daily basis, but until this kind of thing happens to you, you don’t realize how violating it feels and how traumatizing something like this can be. The main thought going through my head when I thought I was going to die was what this would do emotionally to my loved ones and I keep breaking down every time I think about that. I really care more for them then for myself. Thanks Badlands, Rhonda, Mike (and those I’ve talked to about not on here) for your support. Megamunch, that really shows a lack of class you would joke about a situation like this, but perhaps you didn’t realize the severity of the situation when you did. In the end, I’m glad I am alive and they didn’t hurt me too badly. I lost a lot financially, but that isn’t the most important thing obviously because that is all just stuff. I hope I can get over it soon and get my life back on track. And I REALLY hope that the people that did this are brought to justice. Living in fear just really, really is a burden I can do without.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Anybody who has tried to call me on my cell phone. . .they stole that too so I can’t see who called or check the messages. . .so if you want to talk to me and don’t have my home number, please send an email or go through myspace.

Kevin i know i am not one of your favorite people but i hope things work out for you. My suggestion is to invest in a good firearm but you also need to learn how to use it. I sleep with a Kahr MK 40 which takes care of all my needs..Fire off a few rds and those bandtis would have been blown to smithereens. You might ask why i sleep with something so dangerous? Quoting Tony Montana from scarface. ” Lets just say its paranoia” . and due to the nature of my past profession where being threatened was an everyday occurance.

Nicknamer you seem to know quite abit about the contests where Juliet was at her sloppiest. Were you actually there? or is this the hangman posting one of his long drawn out speeches. If nickamer turns out to be hangman then its no big deal. Trash talk , mud slinging and belittling someone till it brings them to tears, was par for the course in pro wrestling. As far as the buffet bowl i have no idea where you get your calculations from, but you cannot get away with a few nibbles on the chicken wings or for that matter a few nibbles on anything , thinking you can fool the scales. Juliet has competed in many other events where dunking is not allowed and still performs well. If she wasnt able to eat large amounts of food she would not be putting up big numbers. If she is able to eat 6 lbs of meatballs or 26 or 27 hot dogs , are you still going to argue that most of that is debris? Yeah i’ll admit she makes a mess at the table and leaves a great deal of debris but she still consumes enough clean food to come out on top or ahead of most of her opponents

Sorry to hear about that, Kevin. I have to say something for MM, I have known him for a really long time, and can say for sure that he is feeling really bad right now. I am sure his intentions were not as Booker put it, MM’s point was about bits and pieces in general, not about the robbery incident. He just used a bad example.

Mudslinger,
It doesn’t matter so much that Juliet can beat the majority of her opponents. What matters is that she is cheating her way to victory over opponents who, in a fairly judged competition, can beat her. It is a fact: Juliet has been cheating and getting away with it, and it needs to stop now.
To Juliet: Cut it out! You’re screwing people over.

Thanks Carey. I do feel bad right now…especially after reading Kevin’s account of the incident. My thoughts are with you, Kevin.

Mega you should also feel bad about the negative comments you made about BB writing skills. Although they might need some work only a scant few complain. If thousands have flocked to the site over the past 6 years he must be doing something right.

No, I didn’t insult his writing skills…just his website formatting skills. I stand by those constructive comments.
