So we've got a lot of naysayers regarding this Poplar job, well maybe not "a lot" but one very prominent one without argument. I'm sure this is SOLELY because nobody wants to see The Dan get screwed, sued, and tattooed. Everybody here is looking out for The Dan's best interest and even mine to some extent. We must go through all the proper channels, go through the gov't created bureaucracy, cross the t's and dot the i's befose firing up a saw so you guys don't worry.
But, right after we come down off our acid trip, we quickly realize that nobody here gives a #### about anybody's welfare (business wise). It's all me me, I I. Oh no, look, this guy is cheating, he's taking away MY business. I, me myself and I, could have done that job and this hack, this weekend warrior, this guy with a day job and a steady income came in and took it from me. Desipte the fact that the US is a capitalist society, one that men died to create and still die to preserve each day, let's pretend its not. Let's keep everything FAIR, fair meaning me me, I, I get all the work, that's fair, I should get all the work without even trying, without having any type of competetive edge, no matter how crazy of an edge I have.
Whatever. Try to figure out who I am, cry to the local "authorities" (I hate that word) and tell them little Plas who does take-downs with a tree stand is taking your work one tiny piece at a time and it's not fair. You've been in this business a lot longer, infinitely longer than me, how dare I try to start something from scratch. This is what almost every negative post pertaning either directly or indirectly to me has been about from day one.
You rip on the Dan, say he's arrogant and what not. OK maybe he is. Maybe he has a little swagger. But did you ever think he might have earned it? He's capable of doing things that the VAST majority of people cannot do. Kinda like an airline pilot. I relate everything to aircraft by the way.
So in the future, instead of spamming up a post about 4 freaking poplar trees, frigging TREES man, just send me a PM telling me I'm an #######, I'm taking milk away from your baby, threaten to kill me, whatever. Save the forum a lot of bad reading.
Again this post only applies to a few people, not everybody.
And by the way, the chances of me ever representing any REAL financial threat to anybody in here is very slim and everybody knows that.
