Waverz needs to shut his mouth

My name is Bill and I am taking care of Dan's place for the next couple of weeks. I have tried my best to do so as I know verry little about his salt water tank. Dan was stuck by a car 2 weeks ago. He has been in ICU since and has been sitting up on his own now but has a long wat to go. He was working at his landscaping job which he has owned for the last 6-7 years I think. He saw a child run after a ball in the street and he ran out and pushed the child out of the way and in turn got struck instead. He saved the life of a stranger.

I don't know much about these internet forums but this kind of wrekless attacks on a charactor such as Dan by Wavrez is outragous. This Reef central is his homepage and I look though it to learn about this facination with salt waterand check on his private affairs for him. So in turn I am responsible for looking on this site and apologize if that is bothering some people that thing that Dan is on the site instead.

Let me give Waverz some advice and try telling the whole story, not just in pieces. He told me that he has paid you $75 and will pay the other $75 when he is back home. He Donates his off time to Hospice care for the elderly. He donates arround 20k a year to charities and to church. He only keeps around 25k per year for his own family.

I know for a fact when I served in the US ARMY with Dan he has earned more respect from people that he served with than most I know. He was a medic in the Army and was very good about saving lives of those who he hardly knew and some that have never gotten the chance to thank him. He is not the type of person to talk much about these types of things but since Wavrez want to attack this man, one simple question.. Who do you think you are talking about?

Attacking others on the internet is the most cowardly thing I can imagine. Be an adult and be responsible for what you have said in vain about others. And for those who jumped on the bandwagon with Waverz you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

God Bless,
Bill
 
First off, if this truly is the case, then my thoughts and prayers are with Dan and his family.

That being said, my comment wasn't meant to inflame the situation but simply meant to lighten the mood a bit.

I will leave it at that because this is still between Dan and Waverz and not really anyone else's business except from the standpoint of doing business with other club members.

Feel free to PM or post up a hospital room number so that cards and well wishes can be sent.
 
No doubt, Dan sounds like a good dude...

with the topic at hand, I didn't see a SINGLE sentence where warez made personal attacks against Dan. I'm not sure if he knows the unfortunate situation Dan is in. If someone owed me $75 and was not returning my pm's, phone calls, or emails I personally would have handled the situation far less civil than Warez is doing.

Take a step back and look at it from his position, then reread what he posted, non of it was overboard, I think he acted very civil.
 
I'm not really sure where you're getting that a personal attack was made?

"I need that $75 you owe me by Saturday. You bought that stuff over a month ago and said you would pay me last week. Now you are not replying to my PM's.

What gives?

If you can't pay me bring the pump back and i will put it back up for sale."


"
I really didn't want to bring it here but this is getting old, i hate getting burned on deals like this. Especially when it's people who you think you can trust.

What gets me is i see him logged on here all the time and he doesn't respond, i have his phone number now so at least i can try calling him.

Left a msg on his voice mail, i guess thats about all i can do.."


No where in either one of those posts can I see a personal attack being made on him. Maybe you need to step back and chill out a little.
 
I'll stand up for Waverz any day of the week. He's a very good guy and willing to help anyone out. (obviously he let him take the pump even though he only paid for half of it) If it was me in his shoes I'd be raising a lot more hell than he is in this situation. I've been burned to many times to put up with it anymore.

If indeed this story is true than my wishes are sent to Dan and his family.

Next time though if he's such a great guy with all this money maybe he should pay for his stuff up front and he won't have this problem.

Pot meet kettle...
 
I'd also have to wonder why his "friend" is accessing his personal email and personal forum accounts, but not charged with settling his debts. Seems like an odd thing to be asking your friend to do, especially from a hospital bed in critical condition.
 
I to will vouch for his character.

I also suggest taking a step back & looking at both sides. Club members have been gipped so many times it is the first thing people assume when someone gets the product & then falls off the face of the earth. It is easier to assume that rather then being hit by a car.

Give Dan our best. I am in La Porte, so if you need some help with the tank or anything else of his let me know.

Hey "Bill" what hospital is Dan at? Cause the & I called have never heard of him and have no record of his ever being at there hospital. Now I'm not trying to get in the middle of this but you did just insult one of my good friends with one of the most supermanish stories I've ever heard. You give me the hospital name and room number I'll send the guy flowers, otherwise tell him to pay his bills.
 
Hmmmm a saint but he picks 666 for user user name?? I have always wondered, didn't he get out of reefs about 6 months ago because of a sick kid?? An then a month later he was back in buying all sorts of stuff? I always wondered about that. Also, if Dan only keeps $25K a year for his family then he can't afford reef tanks anyways unless his Wife brings in good money.

Anyway, I hope he truly is a saint and that he will recover well. So my thoughts and prayers go out to his family as well if this is true. But it sounds a little too much like the convenient truth to me.
 
If that's all true why didn't you respond to his messages and his thread. Rather you made a new thread attacking him in the title. It just doesn't make sense.

About everyone on this forum is going to stand behind Jeremy. Most all of us know how nice of a guy he is, and all the work he does for the club.

It's too bad to see this kind of thing happen. I hope you guys can work it out.
 
Please give us somemore details so we can make arrangements to help Dan and his family. Maybe we can put together a collection or someting. What hospital is he in?

If Dan truely is in the hopital i think i can overlook the $75 until he gets back on his feet.
 
Well it does appear that his posting went to nothing about two weeks ago from a post or two a day.

While Bill over reacted and overstepped his boundaries with his post to and about Waverz, I do think we should give the situation the benefit of the doubt. I think Bill would have been better off to have posted the situation and not attacked one of our members.

For the rest of the group, I have learned that its often best not to bandwagon. It can come back to bite you in the ***.
 
Man i really feel bad now, I should have never brought this up pubically, i am sure if Dan was willing to jump in front of a car to save a stranger then he would probably have done the same for me....this whole thing really makes you think how important life really is and it is worth much more then a mere $75.

Bill, Please tell Dan i am truley sorry and best wishes to his familly.
 
Did a lot of searching local papers around Vinton, CR areas, even on the news channels, no articles or anything about this accident. Figure a superman type heroic action like this would have been all over the press! Must be too much of a heroin type figure to accept the press for such a heroic deed!

What a guy!!! :rolleye1:

Just because it wasnt in the paper or anything doesn't mean its not true, my uncle once saved a whole bunch of children from a burning orphanage and it didn't make the news....all he got was a lousy basket ball hoop.
 
I too am highly skeptical of "Bill's" version of events. Bill is one of those names you throw out when you're on the spot and can't think of another name to make up. Also, the whole saving a kid thing seems over-the-top. And again, if you were in the ICU, would one of your priorities be to have someone get on RC and track all your subscribed threads? And even if it was, would you relegate that duty to your wife, other SO, or to your "friend Bill" who allegedly knows nothing about reefing?
