Darin Bastedo Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 This evening I returned home to find that I was reported dead on the Hobby Heaven model message board. Obviously I'm not. There was a thread here also, and Jairus asked if it would be best if it were removed, so that thread is gone. if any of you see any thing elsewhere reporting my death please correct it and let me know. Thanks, Darin
BIGTRUCK Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 It must have been a shocker for sure Darin , just glad to hear your fine, some people, sometimes I dont know what they think about,,,
keyser Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Sure, you and Francisco Franco. Glad you're back from never leaving in first place.
Gregg Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Jairus and I had this discussion before, about removing posts or threads. The only time we will is in situations like this, or if you talk about my hair color again. Seriously, we don't censor anything, but in a situation like Darin's, it is best that the post/thread removed. Darin, I am so glad that this was not true. I must say that my heart skipped a beat (or two). Just me
Tuffy's Garage Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I am just glad that it was a hoax. The person who did that is a jerk and should be in some big trouble I hope. Charlie

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 The person (and I use this term loosely) should be strung up by his you-know-whats 'cause he don't got 'em. Ain't got no brains either. I am truly glad that you're still with us Darrin.
Zoom Zoom Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Darin, from the bottom of my heart I am so grateful that it was only a prank and that you are still with us! And that you continue to display a great level of humor over it. I hope the person who did it pays the proper price for doing what they did to you personally, and to all your friends and extended family in the aftermath. I'm appalled that it happened and I really hope that it results in better security for all who participate there.
Zoom Zoom Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Darin, I am also obviously extremely glad that you're still among us, and I am also pleased that Jairus and Gregg opted to delete the original thread. I do think that was the wisest course of action. Having said those things, I would now like to once again take the opportunity to apologize to you, Darin, and to the other members of this community for being the one who jumped the gun and spread the rumor from that board to this one. In so doing, I feel as though I acted as unwitting accomplice to the liver fluke who perpetrated this perverse and malicious bit of "humor," and I feel horrible about it. Again ... mea culpa. P.S. On the bright side, Darin, now you can say that you and Paul McCartney have something in common! Ken, you didn't do anything wrong whatsoever; you were "played" like everyone else by that identity thief and his malicious prank. Don't feel bad for doing what you felt was the right thing! Even though most of us haven't met Darin, he's like a great friend and family member from his contributions to our hobby. That anyone would take advantage of Darin and all of his acquaintances like that is appalling to me.
Jairus Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Jairus and I had this discussion before, about removing posts or threads. The only time we will is in situations like this, or if you talk about my hair color again. What hair Gregg? Ken, it wasn't your fault and don't beat yourself up any more. What's done is done! Ok, that said... In the future, guys, and in light of recent events I think that confirmation might be a good idea prior to posting any news. That goes for posting rumors about any new model kits too... We now return you to your regular scheduled program...
KT EASTMAN Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 It is good to hear that you are still with us Darin!!!! May an ugly virus plague the Troll who did this!!!! :twisted:
Irvin Arter Jr. Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Darin glad to hear your still with us. Welcome back!
