It's a long story but here goes. Feel free to turn away if you don't want to read. A few years back I was posting on a site called Rumortalk. Good site, good group of guys. Well one day I tell the guys that I used to go to this place called the Rusty Scupper in the town where I used to live. I told them that I used to see a lot of the Knicks players there from time to time. I met Herb and Starks and Allan. So one day I go there and a bunch of guys from the site are there. WE meet and it's cool as hell. Then all of a sudden one of the guys from the site starts showing up at all my spots in my home town. Nothing creepy about it. I didn't think he was going to kill me. He was a good guy, but we just weren't going to be friends. Nothing in common. but he keeps showing up everywhere. After a while he just starts becoming f'in annoying. So because Bip has no inner filter and can't hold his tongue he finally tells the guy to stop coming around. Dude thinks Bip is a jerk. Next two weeks after, he starts posting photoshop pictures of me and my girlfriend at the time on different sites. He gives out my address on different sites as he's bad mouthing me(noone ever did anything but it was creepy). And he starts bombing my e-mail address.
Ever since then I made a pact never to give out my everyday e-mail address or use it to sign up for a site. Never get personally involved just have fun chattin. I give basic information about myself but nothing that would allow people to figure out where I live or who I am. No details about me other than that I'm black, have a wife and kid, I coach and am fat and skinny, tall and short and ugly/good looking as hell. I have comfort in knowing that noone knows where I live, where I coach, exactly what I do for a living, or what my physical characteristics are, what my real name is, what my family looks like etc. doesn't matter how long I've been posting noone knows any details. although it would be interesting to hear people guess. If you ask I will ignore you or lead you off the track. But now the Bip feels a little more comfortable.
Now the people on this site seem to be cool. Because of the other get togethers my attitude has changed towards you nutcases and I'm a little more trusting. I pretty much trust everyone but Solace to be honest with you. And am really anxious to meet some of the guys I've posted with since back in the day(TMS, Fish, Allanfan, Solace not to slight anyone but these are my boys) as well as the new faces. So as soon as I can get out to one of these get togethers I will be there. This one is definitely out, but I will be at one of the one's coming up.
I just hope that people will like me
