Will's video

[guest]

There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep your fingers crossed, and maybe the videos will indeed get shipped "next week".
How super it will be, to finally see the video.

Let's all wish Mr. Forshay well, and hope that next year his life is in a happy place, and that he'll be able to get the video out a bit sooner.

too late, will for-shayme better not even think of showing up next year. he can get better under counseling at some other event. as for the video, that he never bothered updating his paying customers after 5 months, with flippant disregard, this will now be handled another way. what kind of lemming would i be to be a sheep and be led about by comments such as yours, a little lap dog to be told what to do and think. forshays time is now up. period. others can be a "good dog" eagerly awaiting eternity and whoevers hand may deal it out, but "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". stand by.

Will's been putting out the video for years, sometimes they're early, sometimes late. I'm pretty easy going, so I don't sweat it. The video is always great! I'm sure he'll be at Bridge Day 2001, I hope so. Whatchagonna' do, sue him for thirty five bucks? I may be an old man, but at least I'm patient. I like Will, and I'm not overjoyed about the wait, but at least I don't act like a bitch. Handle it another way if you must, be aware that Will has friends. You better not even think of messing with Will at Bridge Day, I think your butt is probably about the same size as my shoe.

I do not think asking for a little feedback was out of order. As I have posted several times in the past, none of these negative exchanges would have occurred had we gotten some feedback as to the status of the video. I completely understand getting caught up in personal problems, which would cause several months of delays, but that is no excuse for not updating people about the status, especially when they are paying customers.

One problem with this form of communication is it provides a somewhat of a mask and people tend say things they may not say in person but on the flip side, it is how people really feel. E.g. personal politics or fear of public ridicule do not mask their response. Believe me, anything I have said here I would not hesitate to say in person and you have to understand anyone else’s frustration, regardless if they would say it face to face or not.

I am glad to here Will is in better spirits and fulfilling his commitment with the video. Most of the initial threads showed genuine concerns for Will’s well being but after months of silence this concern turned to anger. Please advise Will to consider sending out some form of an apology to his customers and if this is done I am sure all will be forgiven come NRGB 2001. His only response (January 6th) was very caustic and showed little concern for his customer feelings.

I'll look forward to receiving the video in the next few weeks...

Thanks for stepping up with some feedback. I'll send an update to the group that has been corresponding directly with me and ask for their continued patience.

Thanks again,

Donk

"Believe me, anything I have said here I would not hesitate to say in person"

Bravo Donk!

If more of the users of this board felt that way, we'd have a lot more productive discussions.

I had not thoroughly read your reply. "I think your butt is probably about the same size as my shoe." But I'll be more than happy to accommodate your shoe since I may have been the initial instigator of all this... :* Suggesting NRGB is going should turn into some battle of warring lemmings, anti-lemmings factions is pretty dumb but if this is the desired result I suggest we pick a spot with less public exposure to avoid any negative press surrounding BASE jumping. How about we meet at the big rock after recess? ;-)

I may be wrong Donk, but it sure sounds like the guy posing as "A lemming" is Avery. He has been known to post anonymously in the past. If so, how clever to say he's and old guy named Walter. I almost fell for that one, NOT!

columbus, ohio 43228

thanks

[guest]

I'll believe this when I see it.

[guest]

Who cares, as long as I get my video.

[guest]

Amen! I have no intentions of listening to any more excuses! Will still hasn't answered MY questions about just what happened, so I don't think it is appropriate for anyone to ask me to be patient with him. Whatever problems he may or may not have had in his own life, he STILL had the ability to at least explain himself!
