I started seeking him out and talking to him. Got to know him a bit. Let him get to know me. Tipped him appropriately. Kept it civil and gave it a chance. We're not exactly tight now but he doesn't cringe when I walk in and I don't leave shortly after arriving to see him keeping bar. It was no huge sacrifice on my part. A bigger sacrifice would have been leaving that joint to find a place I like as well. I'm no genius but it's really not that hard to get along with the bartender if you stop spitting beer down his neck and make an effort.

agree.
I've met hootie. as I've posted here before, not only did he do me a favor, but I thought he was a pretty nice guy. makes me wonder how many other people here that i think are dipshits could also be all right in rl.
i guess it's that online image we all have...sometimes it's pretty much the same as we are in rl. sometimes it's not. over time though, I've seen certain cp members change from a-holes to decent posters(and also the other way around). then again, some never change, and some never forget that we've ****ed up before and always hold it against them/us.
****...what was i talking about? anyway, i don't give a shit if he's banned or not. it's like watching andy griffith reruns on tv.
