Curt Vendel Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi everyone, I saw some of the posts in the thread about 3.5 years... I am not going to get into anything with anyone. The timing of this unfortunately is not great. I am supposed to be sitting home today resting, relaxing and destressing before my 6th heart surgery tomorrow morning. So needless to say, reading many of the posts, well it hasn't helped so I stopped looking after a few very hurtful and, some, quite vicious and spiteful. I will post an update later next week once I've had a chance to recover a bit and can sit down and work on my laptop for a bit. I will post up some info, and some photo's I know a few have wanted to see, then we'll take things from there. Yes, I am to fault, I will be the first to admit it and accept it, but the viciousness, and the outirght spiteful, hateful and in some cases, out of line things said about me... they neither help nor are appropriate or right to have said.

Blitter Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hey Curt. That's all I'm looking for. Thanks. Your health is worth more than a goofy piece of hardware. Hope things get better for you. Still got my 7800 dusted off and ready when you get those XMs complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I still think someone should volunteer to be your liaison for communication and whatnot. That would help you focus on the fun part Take care! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobracon Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Get well soon curt. People do not realize how tired and weak a bad heart makes you feel. I myself had a heart attack 2 years ago and know all to well how you feel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Rest well and make sure you fully recover. And see, just stopping by to write a few words goes a long way to calm people down. I suggest you take theloon's advice and get a volunteer to post regular updates to keep the frustration from boiling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 You're more important than a project, man. Hell, at this point I'd rather the pre-order payment I made ensure your health is taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Remember Curt, we're counting on you for a speedy recovery not only so you can finish the 7800XM but also so you can begin work on the 5200XM and also release the Atari Inc corrected 5200 controllers via Syzygy... No pressure though! Edited June 25, 2014 by Lynxpro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Curt, I'm sorry you had to take time today to visit AtariAge and post a message. Just wanted you to know that the start of this latest vitriol was from a user who was previously banned for the same type of behavior, and until today I was unaware that he had yet another troll account to continue parading his vile. I have banned that account, along with another that I found. There will always be people who complain, and they tend to do so loudly. These people are in the minority, and the rest of us understand that you want to get the XM done but sometimes Real Life is a real bitch. I look forward to getting my XM once it's complete, and I know many others do as well. But your health and family must come first, and you surely don't need additional stress from issues such as this. If there's anything I can do to help at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I wish you a swift recovery from your surgery! ..Al 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
