TI_Bassin Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 This was posted on the ABA message board this morning, I sent it to Russ(Low_Buget_Hookers) and Brent so they could see it. Formal letter of appology To Brent of *** and russ T of Low Budget Hookers.This letter is my intention of willingly and publically appoligizing to the 2 individiuals who own the websites Low Budget Hookers and ***. Several weeks ago i was given a bass image by another individiual on ultimatebass which he said he had made and that i had paid him to so called create. i found out several weeks later the said image in question had belonged to Brent Bollinger of *** and ended up being a copywritten image known as Billy Bad Bass. Rather then blame the other indiviual for giving me the said image i solely and personally take the blame for putting it on my website known as Bama Boy's Baits. The image has been removed and deleted from the site archives. Needless to say this is a lesson for me that not everyone can be trusted,and in trusting the said person was my down fall, and for that i publically and humblely appoligize to Brent Bollinger of *** for the said incident. I also appoligize to Russ T of Low Budget Hookers i had no idea at the time he had copywritten the term Bait Monkey which i did in fact use said term of Bait Monkey on the Bama Boy's Baits website which i appoligize for. I have removed any and all Bait Monkey terms as well as pictures i had paid to have created. I realize on my part this was an honest mistake not knowing that a term could be copywritten and again that is another lesson for me. I therefore publically and humbely appoligize for the incident as such. With the incidents as described i have recived several hate emails and written mails sent by us postal service. several have been thearting as well as much cussing me out and what not to those individuals i have no comment for any of those mails as i refuse to stoop to that level. As for being a memeber of the Megastrike Fishing Team this was indeed not a lie, and i intend to remain loyal to megastrike, how ever i humbly ask that any of my actions not reflect upon the company Megastrikeand or founder of Megastrike,as he had no knowledge of these said events untill recently when several people had emailed him of this matter. __________________ David Giudice American Bass Angler North American Fishing CLub Life Member MegaStrike Professional Bass Fishing Team I just spoke to Russ(Low_Buget_Hookers) and he is in California at the CAST conference and he will be addressing this when he gets home to his own computer and asked me to give you his response. He says the apology is accepted as for the copyright infringement but I am not his biggest issue. He neglected to address the fact that he has burned a handful of members from multiple boards by spewing his sob story in hopes that people will donate gear to him. They did, and they are quite offended and hurt that their "kindness" was taken advantage of.Also,...how can we trust a guy with this kind of history? His lies are evrywhere, a few days ago I read that his PB is 15 lbs. His pics on his site of he "pro staff", using bama boy baits (i.e. Dzine baits) yet he had posted those same pics on other boards and the ones he mentioned the lure on,......never said bma boys baits. LIES EVERYWHERE. So,....in short,....I will be watching. As for Mega strike. .......I think Bobby needs another email. Better yet, a phone call. I will address all of this when I return home.
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 Just another BS sob story out of a sorry sorry excuse for a man
Super User fourbizz Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 Hey, he is a "North American Fishing CLub Life Member" you better watch it! I heard mention that he used pictures of me on his site too, is that true? Anyone know?
Fish Man Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I heard mention that he used pictures of me on his site too, is that true? Anyone know? why would anyone in their right mind do that j/k ;D seriously though im with KU
Super User fourbizz Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 You see it all the time, specially in the south. Tall skinny goofy bastage with a fat slob next to him ;D
FishingBuds Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Its amazing how far some people keep digging themselves in, WoW! Russ, great comment-direct to the point-Ditto He sure didn't mention the others, did he : WoW! What a work he is >
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 Hey guys, Let LBH handle this. I'm not telling you to stay out of it, but Russ is on top of the situation and can deal with everything himself. -Kent a.k.a roadwarrior
Super User Jimzee Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 He sent me the same email today along with another that I can't post. I had a few "choice" words in the one that I sent to him. He's not gonna burn anyone else for a long while. Everyone knows about him on every message board and forum. I love karma. 8-)
Super User Redlinerobert Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 I agree with RW - no need to jump on the bandwagon here.
Super User Micro Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 It's my opinion this guy has done some problematic things - use of copyrighted or trademarked material, and claiming as his own art produced by someone else. Those acts appear irrefutable. But I think we've got to be careful on the other stuff. This guy has presented himself as a disabled fisherman of limited means and solicted the donation of equipment because he can't afford it himself. Several people feel duped by him. Maybe they were. But maybe they weren't. For all we know, he could be exactly what he says he is - a disabled fisherman of limited means. That nice house of his may not be his. He doesn't dress like a well-to-do person in his pictures. The nicest shirt I've seen him in was given to him by Megastrike (I think). Point is, he may be precisely what he says. And if he isn't, no one here really has the means to prove it. So I think you've got to be careful. Disparaging the guy's character may seem like a public service. Chasing him around the internet and posting messages about him may seem like a good idea. But what you may be doing is slandering him. Thus, you could find yourself speaking to his lawyers. And moderators here that go to other forums and post things thay can't prove could potentially be setting this site up for liability. I think the subject has run it's course. Let those with direct involvement handle their own affairs. Just my (qualified) opinion.
Guest muddy Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Oh I get it like calling the guys names and such or maybe posting satillite imagry of his house so some nut taking things a little to far can use that info>>>>>>>OH I GET IT

Super User Micro Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 I didn't post his address, someone else did - from David's own website. The "satelite imagery" came of Local.Live.Com - public record. It could have as easily come from mapquest or googlemaps, terraearth or any number of other websites. And I don't remember calling the guy any names. All this is a quite a bit different than traipsing all over the net calling the guy a liar.

Super User skunked_again Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 so uhhh..........what type of mono line you guys using these days? ;D ;D ;D
Super User Micro Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 Hey, I'm just adding my $.02. God gave you all free will, do what you like. I know there's a line that should not be crossed. Clean fun and parody is one thing. Unproveable accusations is another. My last word on this.
mattm Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 LBH, you should handle this, but if your going to call Bobby I hope you mention that this guy didn't me the criteria Bobby laid out. Per my conversation with Bobby he said he must issue an apology on every board out there admitting EVERYTHING. He made no reference to the stealing of baits and tackle or passing off copied articles of his own. Unfortunately he probably did issue an apology on ever site he's not banned from.
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 8, 2008 BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 8, 2008 This apology was sent to me: Formal letter of appology To Brent of *** and russ T of Low Budget Hookers,and Glenn May of Bass Resource.com, Billy Raymond of bassfeed and Laurie and Mike Cork of ultimatebass.This letter is my intention of willingly and publically appoligizing to these individiuals who own the websites Low Budget Hookers and ***,and BassResource.com.

I hearby formally apologize to the members of BassResource.com, and any other sites for any wrong doing or mis leading on my part I would also like to formally appoligize to Glenn May Founder of Bass Resource for the misfortune of having this on such a prestigious website.

FishingBuds Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 So I think you've got to be careful. Disparaging the guy's character may seem like a public service. Chasing him around the internet and posting messages about him may seem like a good idea. But what you may be doing is slandering him. Thus, you could find yourself speaking to his lawyers. Just my (qualified) opinion. Oh I'm usen this one 8-) I'm ready now-Chase me c'mon muddy-woof woof!
Guest avid Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 But what you may be doing is slandering him. Thus, you could find yourself speaking to his lawyers. Just my (qualified) opinion. Yo, Micro....get off your friggin high horse already. How can you slander a guy who makes a public confession that he is a crook???? and that's my last word on this...... maybe.....
Super User Sam Posted February 8, 2008 Super User Posted February 8, 2008 To shun someone is one of the worst forms of punishment. If you all shun him then you can quietly make a strong statement. But what concerns me is that Americans have short memories. We forget things that have occurred in the past and go on with our lives. So let LBH and Glenn handle this on behalf of all of the 12,000+ members on this board. Just be watchful that the problem does not raise its ugly head in the future.
WIII-60 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I remember that the guys (basshunter69) posts were grammatical nightmares and he seemed fairly uneducated. Then we see what appears to be, barring some minor typos, a well written letter of apology from an almost different person. Did anyone else notice this? Is there a part I missed? :-? No judgement. Don't plan on getting on any wagons. Just an observation.

Don't plan on getting on any wagons. Just an observation. You're kidding, right? :-? That thing is a spelling and grammatical abomination! I could probably find 30+ grammatical rules and spelling mistakes throughout that "apology". If I had legal representation, and I sent out something like that, I would have my own lawyer sue me on grounds of stupidity.
