Post William F <bottaworks@sbcglobal.net> Squirrely A$$ Flake
All you folks Know me most do anyhow ,, this Goofball contacted me to do some work for Him last Month he had 2 knives he wanted fixed up ,ok no problem , then tells me what all he wanted to do , Ok I can do most of that ,I mistakenly give him my ph number an tried to get the rest of the deal squared away on the ph ,but he slured so bad i couldnt understand 1/2 what he said , , thought this morning we had every thing said when i got this email


"""Yes please do new liners. Also shave down the stag . All sounds fine T . Thanks for E mail . My hearing is a very bad also . Blessings, Bro. Bill

Bro.
Bill

this was the answer to this email i sent

Hello , 1st up I dont like talking on the phone , almost never do it i cant hear very well an if its written down I can read it fine , now on the knife you want done first , do you want the liners replaced ? i know you want solid bolsters in the rear an thorn /vine filework on the spine , I do a circle ,V pattern on the liners ,sofar without the liners replaced 135. with the liners replaced with thick brass 175. I will have to order the new brass in so likely a couple of weeks to start if you want the thicker liners , these prices are firm no up/down on them , also do you want the ends of the stag shaved down to match the bolsters or as close as possible ?
lmk so we can solidify the deal t


then out of No where I got this in the email this afternoon ,

T , you make every cold remarks of customers .You are not a business man . You are a man in Business. You telling me you will do this and not that . You really have no concept of Love Forgiveness, and helping others . You are a control freak . I have no use for this behavior.
You said 6 weeks , so you should not have done anything to my blades . Please return them and I will pay postage
I do not want to deal with you in any shape at all .
T , if you say some off the wall stuff to me , I will come see you and you will not like looking at the monster in the eye .
You have no idea what a Christian really is . But it is not you .


STAY AWAY FROM THIS GOOFBALL !!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED , I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYONE WHO IS CRAZY LIKE THIS

I had similar dealings with the guy. He flew off the handle because the a MO took 2 days longer to arrive than anticipated. First he acts like your best friend then his attitude slowly starts to degrade and within a week he's threatening to come looking for you (for no reason!).

Thanks Tank, just as I had forgot about the entire headache you refreshed my memory for me! haha yeah the guy is definitely one to steer away from, unless you like dealing with people who are your friends Monday, distrustful Tuesday, your enemy Wednesday, trying to find you on Thursday, then starts emailing you under various aliases by friday (no joke!)

I've known a few people with this behavior....
Sounds like the classic symptoms of Bipolar disorder.
One minute they are fine the next a raging (A) - HOLE......
Probably trying to control it with either alcohol or drugs instead of seeking professional help.

Talk about coming out of left field, this guy has some issues. Can you believe he talks about being a Christian, not very Christian like if you ask me.
I wish he would show up at my house I would look him in the eye and thin punch him in the dam mouth.
