I am dumb founded, probably dumb to go with it and will try to be short as I hear my ride coming now. I have been ask if I am Gladhatter and I have replied honestly that I am not. I am really well lost for words yet addicted to them and do not know what to say. I cannot say I am sorry as I am not. I can say I am flattered to be thought the man I believe him to be. I understand that many here never liked him and I just yesterday before , I left finally got to read them post from way back and I have to say I am ashamed of some of the people here and how they talked. That said, that is between you and your maker how you choose to think. I hope to never say poor post any inappropriate thing and I understand this is a forum about hats and that is my passion in life second only to writing and to find a place I can write about hats is a wonderful thing for me. I sure hope that if any one out there has any evil spirit about them and wants to rob me of that pleasure you will change your mind.
If any of you folks hard feelings about Gladhatter then please take them up with him and not try to direct them to me as I am not his slave boy nor a conduit to him. He told me he reads this and all hat forums as often as his time allows and even has others to print them out for him to read at his leisure. So if you do not care to email him or contact him by any other way he advertises publicly , then please write to him direct here or on any hat forum .
I slept on that mans couch last night and expect I will not be seeing him again for some time to come so I cannot tell him any thing from any of you.
For what it is worth, I read numerous Emails from customers of his that I know will read this also as they indicate reading here often. apparently he sends most or all his customers links to this forum and encourages them to read it to learn about hats and enjoy the trade. I cannot and would not point to their names if I had them but I can tell you this much, the general consensus is that you folks bad mouthing him just brings him more business. I do not wish him less or more business as money corrupts some people and how he fares is not my choosing but I reckon you would all probably get him less business with less bad feelings or at least commenting them publicly and I am positive for sure and knowing that it would lift a burden off yourselves. the only person that ever gets hurt with hard feelings is the person that harbors them.
Honestly, reading some of them back post I can see why his customers think some poorly of some of y'all. I reckon you may want to go back and read some of what you have said and think it over and decide if that is really what you meant or feel .
Folks life is too short to go on like this. I bid you all a fine few days and I am heading back to the woods now.
