An open letter to DJ Quad

[Keith]

DJ Quad wrote me:

I sent this to Scotticus but wanted you to know this too. This is one of
those "print it out and read it on the shitter" Emails.

hey man.. i know this is a weird message but before the awards i didn't
realize how much you supported the katg community. i suppose i haven't been
paying attention enough to the actual community to realize that but i guess
we each have our own way of contributing.

unfortunately mine has turned out to be the one people make fun of and hate,
but it is what it is. on one hand it sucks, on the other i don't mind it in
the least for people to get their aggressions out. lord knows i've made
conscious decisions to encourage it. it all came from a funny playful place
but it's certainly not where it ended up.

anyway, congrats dude. that's all.
--

For what it's worth, I'm very sorry. I've done things that resulted in many
things I'm ashamed of. It was honestly never meant to be outright hurtful or
disrespectful, but that's the impression my actions led to. Sure I get upset
about the insults, the slanderous stuff, the opinions you guys have which
leads to your fans having the same, but deep down I'm a good person and I've
been sort of forcefully conditioned to roll with things (no pun). To accept
things and deal with it, no matter what.

To Keith, I know we have a history. I'm not McNally or any other psycho in
the grudge hour. Like I said, I've done things I'm not proud of and I
thought my original apology was forgiven by your reply. I guess it wasn't.
We were supposed to build this website stuff and everything related to it
into an amazing thing. Of course I got all sorts of pissed off when I did
everything for free and you said Michael was taking over. I'm better than
him for that but I'm so glad he clearly knows what he's doing. Keeping it in
the family sucks for me but you're in great hands.

To Chemda, we haven't talked a lot but it was surprising to me when you said
I had all sorts of problems with you. That couldn't be further from the
truth and it shocked me to hear that. I'm not sure if you remember me saying
this but my sister is gay. At first I was like omg but hearing your views,
your journey with it, your openness about it, was an absolute evolution for
me. Now I'm the closest I've ever been to my sister and I've realized how
much I love her, without caring about her sexual attraction. You are so
right about religion - it's literally the bane of our society.

I know it sounds crazy but the death of Rhian affected me to the core. She
was one of the strongest people I've ever met, and take it from me, whether
you have a physical disability or not, inspiration is something people want
and need. I cried like a baby hearing about her passing and did again when
you honored her with the spirit award.

Believe it or not, I personally love the community and am so proud of what
you two have built. You took a hobby and turned it into an empire. I know
that doesn't mean much coming from little ol' me but seeing what you've
turned into is a huge inspiration for countless people.

I know you don't normally reply to Emails but please reply to this one. I
honestly don't know where to go from here. I don't want to just go away as
far as the forums, but I don't want every reply to be a joke about a
disability. Those fucks have no clue what it's like and get all pithy. I
normally just put up with it, knowing those idiots have nothing better to
say, but after a while it gets old. I truly want to be a small part of the
community if it's not too late, if that makes sense.

That's all for now I guess. I need food and sleep. Please let me know if you
have a few free minutes.

Phil


My open response:

Where do you go from here, Phil? You be nice. That's where you go.

Of course jokes about you being in a wheelchair are hurtful. You're a mean asshole so people go to what will hurt you the most. Everyone knows when you say, "You think that hurts me? Not very original," that it hurts the most.

Be nice, and behave. And don't accuse me of slander.

And admit your fiancee isn't real.

Peace and love.

I'm happy that my KATGuh is making a difference in this messed up crazy world.

Quad, let's have a chat party Friday night and sort this mess out. 9pm-? BYOB.

[Sparrow]

RSVP: there.

so his idea of an apology is to insult Chemda's brother and all the KATGers? I have never had an apology like that be accepted before in my life.

This whole "open letter" got me thinking.

Mainly thinking about the great open-faced steak sandwich I had on the weekend.

Pretty fucking awesome. Normally I'm not a fan of sandwiches you have to use a knife & fork to eat, but in this case, I'll make an exception:



World Pasta Championships | Media | Crown Perth

It IS pretty funny that it's Piffle who deletes all of his posts....
