yeah sure,goofy,we're just like the locals at narrabeen and what they do.most of us have changed our tune since swellinfo approved their wonderful existence.you don't know me at all.if someone was actually doing anything to these two clowns i'd be the first one to be there for them,but guess what?internet forums are not new,and we've been relatively tame and harmless.sticks and stones,goofy,get off your self-righteous empathy high horse,please.
Yes, It's true, Yankee and I made amends and got it on hot gay surfer style. That's right, I knocked his old ass up and then Gruvi and Hilly were born. I raised them on TV, hatred, and spaghetti-o's. Never taught them to surf, just teased them with the idea of it. Now that they are of age they have joined the forum. Haha one of 3 things is really going on here: 1. Hilly and Gruvi are names created by disgruntled forum members because Matt Johnson called them out on being little b*tches or I told them to eat a 8==>. 2. They happen to have joined at the wrong time and asked the wrong questions 3. We are all so paranoid schitzo'ed from the overall weirdness of this forum that it all happened in our heads, like Shutter Island. I'm favoring #3
BB, Now as far as Gruvi & Hilly, if their IP address's don't match suspected previous identities then usually writing style is the finger print that gives them away, so far, don't see it. I retired from a 30 year career in the "people business", so the "self righteous" attitude derived from those valued experiences so my cross to bare. Maybe not appropriate here but maybe so, the few PM's at least tell me some do appreciate sacrifices allowing myself to be a target for all on this forum who rather not see civility prevail. When you add up the resent drama among members, Matt stepping down and surfers who voiced to me afraid to post or even ask a simple surfing question. Sorry, I find that sad, if you want to call me a "KooK" for addressing this a label I'll proudly wear. My effort is for the silent majority to be given some "empathy" from those who posses an "elites's" attitude aggressively judgmental as you have not earned the right to play in my sandbox. If I was personal on the previous post, I apologize, not intentional, not my normal style, maybe our different view points are generational, so with that said we can just just agree to disagree. On a good note, at least our discussion has been conducted in a civil manner so maybe some gains debating both of our views,for that I thank you.
goofy,please try to understand,i'm not trying to come across angry,resentful,aggressive,elitist.it's not generational,i'm nearing 50,and i really suck at surfing,especially now with injuries.this is an internet forum,and you don't have to defend the weakling soft 'people' because we just can't believe they are real.you are correct we should always think the best of everyone and believe them and take them at their word,but gruvi/hilly?it's just fun on swellinfo.oh,and i did not once call you a kook.i just don't think you should be criticizing us for having fun with 'people' that seem like they either just landed here from another planet or are not for real.
if you take this forum and/or it's characters too seriously, it/they will get the best of you. There has always been trolls and beef and stereotypes. Laugh it off. I remember my first ever post- I scored some good surf on at a little nook on the eastern shore and went to spread the stoke and everyone called me a kook and told me it didn't happen becuase their beaches weren't working that day. Oh well, that day happened and the waves were sick. It wasn't exactly a warm welcome but it did prepare me for what would follow. "surfing is not a group hug" Goofy- stop using your age as a handicap. Every single post pretty much starts with "back in my day", shesh. I do dig your style though, right foot forward bro!!
come on y'all give gruvi a break. he's got the stoke of one of those guys who surf lake michigan religiously. let's just enjoy our waves (while there is some) and move on. gruvi, props to ya. surfing changed my life and i hope it does the same for you
gruvi was taking over the forum with a new thread every moment he thought of a new question (some of which have been removed)... Gruvi was only banned temporarily for 48 hours in an attempt to prevent gruvi from taking over our Swellinfo society.
