Apologies to Adam
« on: February 15, 2011, 02:43:19 PM »
Today, I was kindly reminded by Adam via Email that I once said that I would publicly apologize for my rant against him if he ever displayed one poster of his Bond collection.  He has prevailed.  Thus, as a man of my word, I will publicly apologize here.

Adam, I very humbly offer you my apologies.

This said, and no to take away anything from the above, I believe that the matter could have been entirely avoided for reasons that we have repeatedly talked and written about on this forum and elsewhere.

Good of you to do, Thierry.  I guess.

Over a year or so ago, I took the stance that it didn't really matter if the posters existed or not.  This was and is in my mind, not about posters anymore.

The silliness of endless irrational and excuse-laden paragraphs that we all know about were so incredibly mind-blowing, that my stock of adjectives just ran dry and frankly, my head hurt just seeing that there was another post by Adam Adz.  

I now get to enjoy the new onslaught of pretty and quite rare Bond paper like the rest of us, so that is all good, but I separate the pics from the source, which while Adam might be a 'good' guy, the Prima Donna stuff is a downright shame in its essence of being quite insulting to all members and guests of all the forums that were caught in the Phantom Bond Paper wake.  Oh, how incredible the wonders of advanced camera technologies are combined with a spare 5 minutes...hooray!

I agree.  I honestly don't care about the collection and/or Bond posters.  I own a few, but it is not a major attraction to me.  My take was more about - if you state something, back it up,  This said, I did make the statement that I would apologize, which in retrospect, is only fair to Adam.

@ Thierry:

Thank you for your apology.

You know what I have stated RE what went on in the past; what was said; what wasn't said; what was done; what wasn't done.
As I said to you and everyone else:
New Year; a New Decade; a New Beginning.
I know that sounds pretty sad, but that's how it is for me.
If some people don't wish to accept that, then that's fine.

@ Wonka:

If it wasn't about posters, then you certainly made your point.

Cheers,
Adam
Best wishes,
Adam

And even less of a man to be prodded by email to do so.
