Can't let it go without a jab...
Just because a person pays with a check, does not mean the check is good/will not cash (bounce/NSF). Look how long it took for him to come up with a couple hundred bucks (if even that much).
I could write a check to you and everyone in this forum, but it does not mean they would all cash.
this incident, like many in our own life is one that gyno regrets i'm sure. we have all done or said things that we eventually realize are wrong, the decision to correct this like a man, take loads of shit in public, and do the right thing without returning as a ghost is what most of us respect and understand. i hope everyone will move on and allow gabe to do the same, he is an asset to the forum and wishes the best for everyone, let's do the same for him brothers.
People that "do the right thing" consistently in life end up way ahead. For those of you that keep taking shots, take a good look in the mirror. Good Luck
If he wanted to "do the right thing" then he would have paid the debt a long time ago. I can't tell my mortgage company that I want to "do the right thing" and then pay then weeks (or even months) after the payment is due.
