Totally disrespectful for the guy that died.
Lets end the *****ing on this thread right now.
It IS totally Disrecpectful.
For a Big guy like you Clivester...you got a short memory man. "Swampy's Bait"?
let me remind you big boy...of the post that started ME EVEN commentin in this thread. You another one that seems to want to put Sh$t on me. Not a problem man...stand in line.
You don't even know what they say, and have said about "narrowbacks" like you on this LINEMANS board...and yet they Love havin EL, a glorified meter reader on their board. I guess they don't know the meaning of the word Hypocricy.
This Board is Not just a Linemans Board. Union Or Non.
It incorporates all aspects of our trade, and all are welcome who are in the electrical trade, and have something to share electrically, as you most certainly do. And ALWAYS have been.
Anyway big boy....Here's the post that "Started" the disintergration of this thread. Notice? It wasen't "Swampy". But you think what ya want Clivester.
All the "people" that left this board are tryin to do, is come back ON THIS board and aggitate and aggrivate.
Says "Alot" Big boy...says alot....
Make up your own mind..... Read the last line....
Ananlyzing...
His friend/pole buddy was in trouble because the chain/sling was hooked too high. Either not pushed up high enough or not judged correctly, or the pole was cut too high in the air and the guys on the ground weren't expecting it. WHATEVER THE CASE; DO NOT CONTINUE TO MONDAY-MORNING-QUARTERBACK THIS YOUNG MAN'S DECISION TO RUN AND HELP HIS BUDDY WHO REALIZED THE POLE WAS TOO HEAVY FOR HIM TO HANDLE BY HIMSELF. WE SOMETIMES GET A SPLIT SECOND TO MAKE A DECISION THAT OTHERS HAVE DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS AND EVEN YEARS TO PICK APART AND ANALYZE. NO ONE IS PERFECT. REMEMBER THAT. I AM UNION, AND I AM WELL EDUCATED IN THE BUSINESS. BEEN CLIMBING POLES SINCE I WAS 18 YEARS OLD. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU ALL, THAT EVERYONE AND ANYONE CAN/WILL MAKE MISTAKES. IT IS SAD AND VERY UNFORTUNATE, THAT IN THE PROCESS OF IMMEDIATELY HELPING HIS FELLOW LINEMAN/WORKER; HE WAS KILLED IN THE "HEAT OF BATTLE", - IF YOU WILL.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO THIS YOUNG MAN'S FAMILY.
!!! TO ALL OF YOU HALF-ASSED LINEMAN THAT MONDAY-MORNING-QUARTERBACK THE REPORTS OF DEATHS OF LINEMEN ON THIS SAFETY BOARD: YOU ARE NOT PERFECT. NON OF US ARE. KNOCK OFF YOUR ANALYZING B.S. - CUT THE $HIT ALREADY. IT'S NO WONDER ALL OF THE GOOD AND KNOWLEDGEABLE, INTELLIGENT UNION HANDS LEFT THIS SITE FOR ANOTHER SITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
