WHY REMOVE MY POST ON THIS FORUM?

GUESS YOU DONT BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH, AINT THAT WHAT THIS FORUM IS ALL ABOUT. SHOULDNT YOUR READER BE ALLOWED TO KNOW WHEN THEY COULD POTENTIALLY GET RIPPED OFF. MOST OF YOU ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WHO TATTOOS BETTER THAN WHO. I WASNT BASHING ANYONE, I GUESS THE TRUTH HURTS. GOOD TO HAVE FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES HUH J. C. THE HOST SHOULD PUT BACK THE POST THAT WAS REMOVED UNTILL THIS ISSUE WAS SETTLED. COVERING UP FOR YOUR FREINDS DOESNT HELP TATTOONOW.COM, TORTURED

Even in the few months i've been posting i've seen some pretty nasty, harsh, and opinionated posts go on and on, so i doubt it was something simple that got whatever yours was deleted. Yours is only the 2nd one i've heard someone complain about getting deleted too...so maybe it was a bit past free speech? Free speech is one thing, and i dun remember what you wrote, but maybe, even though there is such a thing as free speech, some things are best left to one's head.

i highly doubt that free speech is the issue here i have been with this sight for over 1 year and i have respect for the owner of the sight he is very good about letting us rip eachother apart and also allowing us to be pretty open on this forum.however im pretty sure that the post in question was leaning towards slander sorry ya got riped off.hey shit happens and im not trying to start any wars here but sometimes life takes a nasty turn on all of us and i belive you were dooped by a false person.one posing as the person in question.ill be honest here ive read about this in another forum and it was found that it in fact it was a poser and ripping people off left and right so you are not the only one.

you slandered him you idiot.. you cant slander someone.. how would you feel if he slandered you?

I DIDNT SLANDER ANYONE, I HAVE PAPERWORK TO PROVE EVERYTHING IVE CLAIMED, AND ILL POST IT ON MY WEBSITE IF YOU LIKE.. THE FACT IS THE HOST OF THIS FORUM, WHO IM SURE IS READING THIS, IS A FRIEND OF JOSHUA CARLTON AND DOESNT WANT THIER FRIEND TALKED ABOUT. AND THATS COOL. I THOUGHT AS A TATTOO COMMUNITY WE COULD COME TOGETHER AND RESLOVE ISSUES BUT I GUESS IM WRONG. THIS FORUM IS A JOKE. YOU CARE MORE ABOUT KEEPING YOU FRIENDS REP CLEAN INSTEAD OF SEEING THAT HE DOES THE RIGHT THING. IM A POSER? THATS WHY I POST MY REAL EMAIL AND WEBSITE FOR ALL TO SEE CAUSE IM A POSER? I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE. MY LAST POST BEFORE BEING REMOVED WAS TO SAY THAT JOSHUA CARLTON HAD CONTACTED ME THAT DAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE HE AND I HAD. I DIDNT THINK THAT WAS A BAD SLANDEROUS POST. IT SHOWED HE WAS DOING WHAT WAS RIGHT. OH YA, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE KIND SUPPORT.........WHAT A JOKE

MIKE YOU HAVE SOME EGO ... EVEN IN YOUR WEB PAGE YOU'RE CURSING AT YOUR CLIENTS... AND I SUGGEST YOU WORK ON YOUR ART A LITTLE BIT MORE, OR JUST ENOUGH TO CATCH UP THAT EGO OF YOURS ( GOOD LUCK WITH THAT )

EGO, i never said i was all about anything, that isnt what this was about. i dont recall bragging. you know its funny, most of you all are more concerned about who tattoos better then who, than what this post was even about. shame.

Mike, I am an absolute believer in free speech. Its no concidence that our founding fathers made the right to bear arms the one right right after free speech. I also believe in innocent until proven guilty. You posted to get Joshua's attention, you got his attention, and now you are working it out in private, good for you guys. You know, I was kinda interested in finding out how things got resolved because I indeed do not want my visitors ripped off, but, well, after you jumped to the conclusions you have and insulting me I guess I dont really lend too much credibility to your case. For the record: Im flattered you think Im a person in a "high place". While I have had more than one pleasent conversation with Joshua in the last few years and he is a member of TattooNOW we are not "friends" yet, not that it is any business of yours. I'll meet him in person for the first time when he comes to New England next year to guest at our studio. I have no reason at all to keep posts acusing artists of illegal activity up if the alligations are not proven, in fact, its my duty to remove posts like that. the last thing I want is this forum to become a place for people to air their dirty laundry. Im not covering up anything for anybody. I have absolutely no idea about what happened between the two of you, but I do know you jump to conclusions and are not very informed. Of course this forum is a joke, its a silly internet messageboard, what did you expect?

RIGHT ON. I APOLOGIZE TO YOU HOST. THANKS FOR LETTING ME BE HEARD. MIKE
