PGremlin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Re: Lathmeister stole PL funds What got you banned happened before my time, but even so... The best compliment anyone can get is receiving the trust of another person and the biggest crime is taking selfish advantage of that trust. I believe in giving people a second chance though, so I'll try and give you that... a second chance. But don't expect me to forget to cut the cards when you deal :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc7777 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Lathmeister stole PL funds I wasnt around when this kicked off but have read the thread. Allowing people like this on the forum would jeopardise so many things that make the forum so good. I'm sure or rather know that many people have been around this forum for a long long time putting in an awful lot of hard work. I personally dont think there was a decision to make here for you Paul, the good and stability of the forum that you (and others) have worked tirelessly on for 9 years or the existance on the forum of one person who stole from PLers and made excuse after excuse and even at one point stated he would have to pay back because his missus was kicking his ars! You would hope that he would have paid due to his own conscience. And then dragging his children into it! Well done Paul :clap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adetrick Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Re: Lathmeister stole PL funds I don't think anyone's going to slate you for having an opinion, well, until WASP arrives anyway. It's how you deal with mistakes that's important. I'm very sceptical about his delayed remorse, he should have known immediately after making his 'mistake' that it was wrong and not compounded it by taking so long to repay. Would the amount of value added tournaments we have on here have anything to do with him wanting to return? Courage is completely the wrong term to use as anyone can hide behind a keyboard and feign remorse. Theft is theft and deserves to be punished - I would imagine that the vicar you refer to only turned his life around after being caught and punshed in some way. I too hope he learns from this.

wurzel133 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Re: Lathmeister stole PL funds well put winsome totaly agree with your post and its sentiments it is very easy to cast the 1st stone.

happyhornet Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Re: Lathmeister stole PL funds As much as it showed a degree of decency to return the money, he has had ample opportunity over to return the money over a period of months and hasn't done so.

The money he took was money intended as prize winnings for PUNTERSLOUNGE members. This was way back in Sept/Oct 2007....and its taken him this long to pay up. He has had many chances to pay this money back and each time an agreement has been made, he has broken it, stopped paying and stopped replying to messages etc, only now when he breaks the news to his wife (if he indeed did) he decides to make amends. If it was paid back initially, he may well have been forgiven and given a chance to redeem himself, but after 18 months and numerous chances later, i think a lifetime ban is the only solution.

slapdash Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Re: Lathmeister stole PL funds I'm all in favour of redemption. I'm glad that Lathmeister has given the money back, and not mainly because of the value of the money. It shows that he has some conscience, and I'm pleased about that. But nobody's suggesting that we persecute him. We're not going to follow him around and shout "Thief!" He's only been banned from this forum. If somebody burgled me, and then at some later date appeared to have mended his ways and tried to make amends, then (politically correct liberal do-gooder that I am) I would be pleased and would wish him well. But I wouldn't feel obliged to invite him to come round to my house for tea whenever he felt like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no need to return the money at all and that imho shows genuine remorse. ------------------------- Maybe i'm a total wimp for a sobb story--but i think i've lived long enough to know of life's hardship. I'm a newbie on this forum---but a lot of what i've seen on this forum since jioning is selfinish,and dont get me wrong--maybe i dont belong in your clique--would'nt want to be a part of a clique anyways. I was a member for over a year be4 i had the confidence to post,maybe its bullshit i post--wotever As a general you slate any new poster,of trivial posts--maybe they have just come across this site recently--and we have a specific tourney running soon--so they try and get extra posts ect.ect. to get numbers up.The very 1s slating have had the posts:spank:nana:zzz:cheers:gimme:clap amoung thier posts--so think before slateing. ------ Going back to the original, i think Lathweister2 has shown more bottle than a lot of the negative posters in coming forward and showing his regret,maybe ADETRICT has a arugment,and i take what he says on board--but for all the rest--i would say poppycock I was a shop steward for more than 15yrs,and i'll tell ya all--dont hang 1 person for 1 misdamenour--we all make mistakes. Fine by me if you bann him--your choice. But remember each and every 1 of you--softplaying,collution,aim your hand to some1 else is cheating---so are you any better than LATHMEISTER2/?/?---i doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
