Re: The DCHS Merry Go Round

Wizard,

I just wanted to let you know that I bear no grude about you opening that "can-o-worms" today. It was inevitable that someone, eventually would mention what I told you about Tiki.

Maybe it's best the way it came down today. At least now he's aware that we're aware of the situation. If he wants to come down to the Springs, I have no problem with that as long as he behaves. Tiki's a likable guy ('til you cross him) -- he's even funny, as you may have noticed in his posts.

From near the beginning, I had reservations about getting involved with Tiki and his website. When I bailed out on him by shutting the website down, that's when the real trouble started.

Since then I've become known to many at the Springs by my REAL name, Dave Johnson -- there! -- I've said it. And yes. I do own a black Ford Ranger. I've got nothing to hide. My nick name (Naked Man) here in this forum was given to me by another fun-loving Springer known as "dammitchloe". [Hi Sera!] I could just as easily go by Dave or Soop (short for SuperDave [from Super Dave Osborne fame] without the crashes;-)).

I just want to reassure everyone that I was NEVER a contributor to that website -- I only owned it -- at Tiki's request. Yes, I was offered a percentage of the profits, but I contributed absolutely nothing to the "content" side of things -- that was ALL his doing. I don't even own a camera.

Matter of fact, that was the whole point of contention for him. He attempted to change the "agreement" and force me by whatever means he could (intimidation and threats, etc) to begin to provide pictures. I was never "into" doing it and eventually shut the site down (after about 1 month's involvement).

Anyway, Wizard, no hard feelings. I like your most recent post today. We can do a lot better job of getting along.

See ya at the Springs soon,

Dave Johnson,
formerly known as Naked Man.

PS - An event like this tends to put things into perspective for me. The troubles talked about here pale in comparison to what I dealt with in regards to Tiki last year.

Everyone: Have a great time at the Springs and watch out for each other.

Peace. Be expectant of Good.
