There was no reason to edit all those posts. If there were problems between the members then they should at least be given the chance to sort it out on their own within reason. I am aware that arguing in a thread such as this is disrespectful, but so is interfering the affairs of others which you have no right to silence...
There was some problems sure, but as long as everyone keeps their language clean and the flames to a minimum then its a fair game. I know from your perspective you did it for the sake of honoring lotsa and keeping the peace, but you were wrong in covering up what you did.
Anyhow, back on track here... I as well as everyone else who knew lotsa, misses him and am sorry for his loss. I don't want to be a jerk or out of line. But ITCH you need to deal with this loss more realistically. Tatooing your arm and making t-shirts because of lotsas death isn't going to make him any more alive than he is now. If you are doing it for the sake of friendship or honor, lets be honest, it's too little too late.
When you knew Lotsa while he was alive, what do you think he would have told you if you said to him you were going to give yourself a tatoo of him and make t-shirts in his honor when he dies? If I told my best friends who I known since grade school (or any of them to me) something simmilar they probably would have called me a weirdo or something. 
Everyone who is acting simmilar just have to face the fact that lotsa is gone and there is nothing we can say or do to bring more purpose to his passing. Don't take any of this as disrespect ITCH or anyone else. If you truly want to pay your respects, go to his grave and give them. Making a comunity activity with t-shirts,RF skins, tatoos and whatnot isn't very respectful. |

Lotsa was also pretty tatooed.
I'm afraid D2K's comment on itch's desision to have lotsa's logo tatooed on his body could be misunderstood. I have the feeling that itch might be just as old as lotsa was. Both might have been around 50 therefore i don't think D2K's judgement on the maturity of the decision is really relevant.
I admit thou that tatooing your body in remembrance of a lost friend isn't an aristocratic behavior. That does sound strange to me but that might have sounded natural to lotsa who himself wasn't that far from a tatooed rebel biker |

A tattoo can sometimes be an expression of joy and good times. Like the dolphin my female cousin got on her ankle years ago.
A tattoo can also be an externalization of pain. A physical outlet for the turmoil inside.
D2k, I take absolutely no joy in cleaning up topics. In this thread there was nothing new to what was posted - it was more of the same. Nothing was solved - nothing was gained. By the time I got here, posts had already been altered.
If anyone needs to communicate their concerns to me, I am open: PM me before you get too excited. D2k, please check your PM inbox - I have sent you my msn/email addy so that we can share perspectives and altruisms.
Edit: D2k, your PM box is full - I cannot send you a PM. |

I think there is absolutely nothing really wrong or weird in any way of ITCH getting a tattoo in memory of Sir-Lots-A-Pot! I think it really shows how much Lotsa really meant to ITCH, maybe him and ITCH were really actually close friends. So if he wants to get a tattoo, then I think its completely fine and no one should judge him for that! |

I've got many tattoos myself, and plan to tattoo myself in remembrance of my grandfather when he passes. I say if it is something you wish to do, whether it is to cope with your loss or for just remembrance, or even both, DO IT! Good luck man!
Best Regards,

I don't think I'll ever put any tattoo on my body, it will be permenant and I don't think there is anything ATM I want to put on body, that will be their in 50 years.
However if people do want a tattoo on their body, its their choise, and I have seen tattoo's I liked, on different kinds of people.
I think its an great Idea of ITCH to put an tattoo In remembrance of Sir Lots-A-Pot on to his body, It might seem wierd to some of you people here, but than again, most people around here don't know what stong connection ITCH and Steve really had. |

Yo, just leave it all alone, This topic is here to pass on your condolences - show some respect, stop trying to pull peoples ways of dealing with the pain to pieces just because they seem obscure to you.
No-one is normal, we all define our normalities, and abnormalities of others.
Let it be. |

4 - 5 years ago. My mother died of Cancer due to the horrible effect of smoking.
My mother could not stop smoking. They had taken over her life, and they took her life too.
Many of my family tried to get involved to try and get my mam to stop smoking as soon as possible, but she could not cope with it.
To this day forward of my mams death, I have sworn my self to not smoke at all in my entire life because I have seen what it does to everyone. Even to those who do not realise.
now, on topic to this topic. Itch, If you want to get a tattoo man, get one.
I say this to my self
Spikey, If you do not want to die the same way your mother did, do not smoke!
Then about 2 - 3 years after, these really great ways come out to help people to stop smoking.
I sit here and think, why did this not happen sooner when my mother needed them  . |
