Let me start by saying I am not trying to stir up trouble between me and you are anyone else concerning your post about Joe. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on all issues and I respect that. Not everyone agrees on all points. You stated that you only had positive interactions with Joe. I also only had positive interactions with Joe and that is what I posted yesterday about him and considered him a friend. You stated basically others had negative stories about Joe and you thought they were justified. No opposition from me on your choice to believe others opinions about Joe. I base my opinion about someone when I have had face to face or a phone conversation with that person. I guess the part of your post I had the most trouble with was: " My recommendation is that before you go praising someone, you should know the whole story about him. " The way I took that is that you were saying I was wrong in my post when I said a few positive things about Joe because I did not know the whole story as you knew it. I stand behind all of the comments in my post yesterday about Joe Pavlik being a friend and helping me out by answering many questions I had and recommending I join the club. Charles, I respect all the work you have done over many years of service for the club, but will have to disagree with your recommendation about Joe Pavlik. Joe was nothing but nice to me every time we talked and was a positive influence in my casino collectible interest and that was and is the truth.
