Charliezuka - there has been many a time where you inadvertantly leave a lasting "negative" impression when you are out with me. I wont type out every single one but let's just say my memory is still pretty clear- i.e. Palo Alto Bowl with Ipozestu, the 3 years of occasional bashing on my sister who you only met once... Its agree its not that healthy, but it would help your friends out if you try to keep your emotions more restrained sometimes. WalterRau - it may be that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you knew Charlie better, you would know that a lot of times he makes jokes that get way too personal. Deep down he is a nice guy that most often is trying to help, not harm. I know you like to crack jokes too but try to be considerate to others too when you bring up things in the past that should have died long ago like the whole "Porkferno" thing.

John: I didn't realize I was doing that, my comment about your sister was: "How come she doesn't clean up her soda cans" or something like that.
As for Palo Alto Bowl: I'm not sure what happened, I will tell you that I've only been there that one time and never again - you knew the situation at Palo Alto Bowl - it had to do with someone giving me a hard time all night, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong. I'm not going to go into detail about it, this is not the place to discuss this.
As for the whole bringing up the past: this is the last time I'm going to explain this, because a lot of people here think I'm a softie or a weak character - you're by far wrong in your assumptions about me. The way I see the situation: those of you making jokes to me that barely know me, you're strangers in my eyes and those aren't jokes if they're coming from someone I don't know - they're insults. For those of you who are my close friends, we joke around all the time and I know it means no harm. If you can't see it that way, let me try to explain it differently: if someone you barely knew or had met once came up to you and said something to the effect of, "Sup b!tch" would you not be confused and angry?
I'm done trying to explain a 3 year old situation.
Those of you that do know me personally, I'm sure you can vouch for me being a stand up guy, but I'm sure you don't want to say anything about it since you might catch flack from other i-club members.

I should probably also add the only reason I probably had a bad impression of you because you barely knew me and jumped on the porkferno bandwagon. It's my preference to not give my respect to people that barely know me and jump the bandwagon.

Walter, I just met you briefly this past Friday night.
It's unfortunate that there's some enmity here between you two. But I think the Golden Rule applies here: Treat others as you would like them to treat you.
I think it's appropriate to joke with your buddies, but it's not appropriate to joke with acquaintances. Regardless of buddies or acquaintances, if someone tells you that you have crossed the line, I think you should respect that and discontinue that line of joking.
Best wishes to you two on resolving this peacefully. I hope you two can one day shake hands, reconcile, have a pearl tea drink together, and get back to making i-Club about Imprezzas.
