For what's it worth here are my cliff notes of the situation:
I guess I started this whole thing 3 yrs ago in Vegas. What turned out to be a simple joke on Mikey and Greenie with the hotel room sabotage(sp) it turned into a drawn out drama with people that decided they must join in to stir the pot. When Chad went to MF the following winter, he got stung by Mikey and others for the Vegas thing. Chad got pissed(should have got over it) and set out on a mission to mess with him, thus the Mikey/Chad feud started. Some people saw this and decided to continue the aggrivation in a covert way to the point it got to be harrassment. Long time friendships were strained and some lost because of this behavior.
Now I have tried to mend the fence between these 2, since then others decided to jump in and cause unnecessary trouble between the 3 of us thus preventing the fix of the friendship(s). IMO some people here are sheep and do so to keep themselves in the so called clique. Childish behavior period, JHC think for yourselves.
No one is perfect here, but we must remember we are in this crazy world of carpet cleaning to better our lives. Arguments will always be there, some will stay and some will leave, but for the most part, the people that are involved are good at what they do and are willing to help others.
The apology Mike posted was the right thing to do and Im glad he did it. I hope Chad will return because he does add useful info to the community.
I will say this in Mikey's defense, he puts up with alot of bullshit from people here to provide a place of learning and conversation.
Don't ruin a good thing.
