You come to MY site SPAM it, for one day only...Seems a few posters need to vent somewhere for a few days...[This message has been edited by Rayztanning (edited November 16, 2000).][Bruce removed a lot of nasty comments towards several people on his board!][This message has been edited by chunn (edited November 16, 2000).]

Michael:Sadly, it appears that Bruce is "spinning" out of control before our eyes. Perhaps Samuel Johnson said it best in "Boswell's Life" in 1780 when he wrote:"Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it."Bruce has crossed the line, IMHO, from "informative, interesting and controversial" to "hurtful and mean-spiritedness." Somehow, he seems to have lost his sense of fair play. Somehow, he has lost sight of the fact that he must "take it" as well as "give it out" on TT. For instance, he objects to my "calling him" regarding his coverage of the Chicago trade show but he fails to notice that he has yet to post his promised story on this event.TSO gave him a "You Made A Difference Award" in Chicago because of the role TanToday.com made in improving the ability of tanning salon owners to communicate with each other. Next year we will have a "Hypocrite Of The Year" award and, so far, he is in the lead to receive it!I can't help but wonder what happened in Nashville to cause him to switch sides like he has so obviously done. Perhaps that will become clear as time passes.Apparently I am one of the "moderators" that he wants to get rid of. I wonder when he will "ban" me from the site like he did you?Maybe the new "in group" in the indoor tanning industry will be those who have been Banned By Emperor Bruce from TT!Don

Michael:Bruce's "editing" completly changed his original message and makes my response seem to be out of context. Please put his original post back on.Thanks,Don

Don,Do you have the original text?Michael

CHUNN · 11-16-2000, 08:54 AM

Don,I will try to remember some of the posting. Bruce stated that he wanted me to post whatever on his site (SPAM). I assumed he meant links back to TanTalk because he wanted a lot of the people on his site to move to TanTalk. He stated that he would gladly give me all those people causing him flack! Sound like a fit or anger struck Mr. Schoenflounder.I will see if the message is cached somewhere.Michael

Looks like maybe someone has grown to become a legend in his own mind? 15 minutes of fame just about over.(covering eyes as to not see the naked truth) Mike

Don,Do you remember the statements made by Bruce?Michael

Michael:Bruce offered to "give" you several of his "moderators" and "other whiners" that he was sick and tired of. He gratiously stated that you could use his "cast offs" and that he didn't need them.That "arrogance" is what I was responding to.Don

CHUNN · 11-28-2000, 09:52 AM

Bruce,Thanks for all the readers you did not want!Michael
