i'm sorry this happened to you, and here i was coming to this thread thinking i was going to add to the drama and say you didn't go to phoenix forum because you were actually at my place tied up!  *hugs*

Now, spending the weekend immersed in pink would completely make up for the whole thing.
I realize the money is gone, and I take responsibility for making a poor decision. That doesn't mean I absolve him of his responsibility to repay me, but I acknowledge that I had a hand in this shitty thing that happened and, once bitten, twice shy, so I won't be making that same poor decision again.
I don't feel it's worth the energy to try to force his hand; because the longer I immerse myself in recovery efforts, the longer it takes me to just put the negative experience behind me and move on. I can't control what HE does, I can only control what I do. It took me some hard and careful thought before I decided to post this thread, because I don't like to be the one to start up a shit storm, and I even asked for advice without giving his identity on another smaller forum to gather other opinions on whether I should call him out or not. It boiled down to this..if I can't trust him to pay me back, how can anyone who buys sigs trust him, or anything of that nature. Shady practices in friendships could be a good indicator of shady business practices, so people have a right to know, and to decide for themselves if they want to take that risk or not.
