He dont have enough RAC to say by himself. So its a honour to me to do it for him. I still look into the forums from time to time, & was dismayed to hear what happened. I'd like to apologize on behalf of humanity... (but aren't we all humanity?) Hopefully the perpetrator(s) will be caught & brought to swift justice. Blurf is in my thoughts... sincerly Mike With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. ID: 738865 ·

I am shocked to hear of the crime, and wish Pete a rapid and comfortable recovery. Sheila and my thoughts are with you both, and I hope that you (Suzette) do not worry too much. Peace and you are in our thoughts It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 738874 ·

I hope its comforting to know that you have such a large, international group pulling for you. The tragedy is that this stuff happens at all and that so many people seem to feel justified in doing it. Does anyone know where this happened? ID: 738885 ·

BLURF SO I COULD GET HIM HOME BEFORE I LEAVE FOR WORK. HE'S RESTING IN BED WITH THE PUPS. XRAYS SHOW NO PERMANENT NECK DAMAGE BUT HE'LL BE DRIVING HIMSELF TO THE CHIROPRACTOR AT NOON OR SO AFTER HE RESTS. HE NEEDS HIS CHASSIS REALLIGNED (SMILE). TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED-BOTH JUVENILE. THEY DIDN'T GET AWAY EASILY THOUGH-HE GOT A COUPLE OF GOOD SHOTS IN BECAUSE ONE HAS A BROKEN FOREARM. THE 2ND WAS JUST A LOOKOUT AND SWEARS HE DIDN'T TOUCH HIM BUT HE HAS 2 CRUSHED TOES SO I DON'T KNOW. BEING JUVENILE THE MEDIA DOESN'T WANT TO TOUCH IT AND WE'RE NOT AFTER PUBLICITY OR MONEY--THAT'S NOT A BIG ISSUE TO US. HE'S OK (ISN'T THAT WHAT MATTERS?) JUST REALLY REALLY REALLY SORE. I GAVE HIM A PRINTOUT OF YOUR WELL-WISHES AND HE WAS REALLY TOUCHED AS HE FEELS SOMETIMES HE'S NOT WELL LIKED HERE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT HE HAS A HEART OF SOLID GOLD-HE'S JUST A VERY BY-THE-BOOK KIND OF MAN, BUT IF HE'S RESPECTED HE'LL GIVE YOU THE CLOTHES OFF HIS BACK AND MORE. HE WAS TALKING IN THE CAR OF MAYBE NOT RETURNING TO THE "MODERATOR" POSITION IF OFFERED LATER, BUT THAT'S HIS CHOICE. HE'S GOTTEN INTO SOMETHING CALLED SECOND LIFE AND SAID HE IS TO GOING TO PLAY ON THAT A LOT. I HAVE TO LEAVE FOR WORK. THIS WILL BE MY LAST UPDATE. HE SAID HE MAY POST TONIGHT IF HE FEELS UP TO IT.

Got up to take a pain pill...I'm ok. Going back to bed Thx for the well-wishes. Welcome back, Bluf!!! I hope they didn't give you namby-pamby painkillers. If not fully effective, demand Exocet/Endocet...codeine based and the best available. I hope you recover real soon! Find out if their parents are rich, and if so, sue the bas****s! Daddy will settle the claims. ID: 738929 ·

He' does a **** good job - just don't let him censor the asterisks! Glad they got the little so-and-sos. No one should ever be subjected to the sort of treatment they meted out. Good men like Mr. Blurf deserve good things, not bad. ID: 738933 ·

Glad you were able to give those scalawags a bit of a tumble before they got away, and that they did not get away for very long. The broken arm is getting off too easy.....

I'm very glad the little snot nosed brats were caught. Juveniles these days, have nothing better to do than this. Its sad, real sad. But at least now justice can be served to these 2, although it may or may not do any good. Take care buddy. Jeremy ID: 738949 ·

I hope the chiropractor session is not too painful, and that the rest of the day is good! Regarding the mod job ... we sometimes disagree with the practice or interpretation. But, there is no need to feel isolated by that voluntary job. In a way, it's no different to being a metermaid or parking warden. The job is what people see, and not the person. More is the pity. Recover well and quickly It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 738952 ·
