...../admin of a group that I "belonged" to. notice the word "belonged", yup that's right, he couldn't stand the mirror I held up for him to see himself in. he has always been an instigator. I have held my typing fingers for 2 years waiting for such a time as this. he is always the victim. all the while, he cuts down his competitors and belittles anyone who says anything about it. he can always justify his actions. no matter how bad his behavior is, it's aways someone else's fault. he's been showing his backside for 2 years. the city govt shut him down from selling food out of his garage and that's when he went on the rampage for the last 2 years. he is into bbq and he has done nothing but cut down his major competition all the while, his competition just keeps on doing what they do and that's sell good food. they have never responded to any of this guys garbage. why is that? they know what it takes to have a good business and that's being focused on what they do and they make and sell great food. they don't bash their competition.
when this guy first showed up in town, he talked like a Christian. I even thought that we would check out his bbq someday. well, people will show you who they really are if you give them the chance. he showed us who he was and still is. he has cursed people on line. he attacks people for no reason and if you go against him in any way, he blocks you. he is a dictator of his own little group.
today was the day that I couldn't let his caterwauling go any longer without saying something. and below is the exchange that took place. the only word I changed in this whole dialogue was in my very last response and I changed the name of the town. I also took his name off of all the responses. I don't want to even give him one speck of recognition. but what I will say, he sure doesn't like looking at himself in the mirror. I've never seen a business man wanna be that's filled with as much vile and wickedness as he is. every week he pokes a stick at others, just with the posts that he shares. and stepping over people was what riled this quiet bear.
he has talked about the town like it the awfullest place on the planet. I honestly don't know how he could have anyone who even wants to eat his food after talking about the town like he has. I would not ever spend a penny on his food after the way he has talked about a place that I have loved and still do love. what he doesn't know is that when we go thru that town, a lot of times we'll come home with about $100 worth of bbq to put in the freezer. it's not his bbq though. we talk with our money and I wouldn't spend money on his bbq. just the way he has bashed and bad mouthed his competition, I'd never spend our hard earned money on him. that's how we talk with our money.
I wasn't going to share this, but putting it on my blog will help me to remember that there are people like this. they do exist. and I tried to hold a mirror for him to see himself. he seen himself so well that he couldn't stand what he seen and he blocked me. well, if he had not blocked me, I would have left his "hip" group anyway after reading this post that he made the other day. I just couldn't take his junk anymore. I have always tried to treat people the way I want to be treated. if this guy treats people the way he wants to be treated, he can't stand it when someone gives him a taste of his own treatment.
God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!!! it's up to us to share the good news with everyone, even the ones that we think don't deserve it. I hope and pray that we all can learn something from what I just shared. I know there have been times when I haven't been as kind to people as I should have been, but I've never been mean spirited just for the fun of it. it grieves me that people think it's ok to step over others on the way to the top. they may find themselves on the top of yesterdays garbage heap. if you're going to treat people bad, the least you can do is own it.
this isn't much of a post to put on my blog, but it's something that I wanted to remember, so that's the only reason it's on here. I'm not real proud of it, but it is what it is.
blessings of love, peace and joy be y'all's as we go into the evening. remember that God loves us enough to give His Son, Jesus Christ as our risen Savior. may we all know His love and be in right relationship with Him. hugs, patty
