The Truth

**BradS** · 08.21.06, 09:23 AM

Okay, here is the truth…the whole truth.

I was angry with Seen and Phatie. Sometimes my anger get’s the best of me, and so I went off and said I wasn’t coming back. I created several new aliases after that, and I got banned because of it. With the help of the mods and Brett, I was allowed back. The condition was to stop creating aliases. I was given the choice to come back and just move on, or come back, tell the truth and move on. Well, I have opted for the truth…the whole truth, not just the recent truth. So, here goes.

When I first came to this board it was the first time that I had ever participated in a discussion board atmosphere. Unfortunately, I chose to take advantage of the anonymity available in the Internet format, and act in a way I don’t act in my real life. I registered several names since I first joined. When I list them off, many of you will hate me, many will laugh at my cowardly approach, and many will just be sad or all of the above. I expect it, and I deserve it...no doubt. For me to be able to move on here, I feel I should spill it all. I have been Mulaka, Cain, Teufel, Quoththeraven, Peaceful Warrior, SkepticX, Seth, and VanCool. Those are the ones that I remember for sure. I offer my sincerest apologies, and hope that you will be able to one day move passed it. I know most of you don't believe a word that I am saying, but it is all true, and the apology is heartfelt and sincere. I wished I could take it all back. I hope that because I had the choice to come clean with you all or not will convince you that the apology is real, and of my own accord. From this point on, I will be the real me.

I appreciate the mods and Brett for allowing me back, and allowing me the opportunity to apologize publicly. I also truly appreciate the help of one particular mod (you know who you are).

Flame away.

What's up with all the self-promotion? Nothing personal, but who f'n cares?

A very sincere post indeed and I don't know anything about this whole saga, but let me just say one thing

This is a Van Halen Internet Forum!!! If I insult somebody on here I move on with my life. I try my best not to but if I do so the fuck what. and if people insult me or disagree with me I could give shit. They don't know me and they, I'm sure, do not mean it personally. And again I don't know what your dispute was like, but I'm just making a point that we are taking this site a little too seriously.

I agree with above....

**Lodewijk** · 08.21.06, 10:24 AM

If I remember correctly.....which I may not, As Mulaka, you claimed that your wife and kids were just killed in a tragic car accident ! Had a whole thread of well-wishes, and disappeared when Brett wanted to send flowers to the funeral home ! That, to me, is unforgivable !

Having beef with someone and having things get heated or out of control is one thing, but when you lie about serious shit like your family dieing, that's way outta line !Talk about attention whoring !

If some mods saw clear to welcome you back, I won't argue, it's not my place!

If I'm wrong and "Mulaka" was not the one who pulled that shit, I apologize and welcome back !

**markp** · 08.21.06, 10:32 AM

Wow, that Mulaka shit was whacked.

**Guitar Shark** · 08.21.06, 10:36 AM

You're not wrong, Lode.

**Greenpaw** · 08.21.06, 10:38 AM

was 99.9% sure that Mulaka was Cain, Teufel and Quoththeraven.

Was about 80% sure that all of the above was Brads.
Didn't pay attention to the other names.

Had no way (or care) of proving anything, so I just gave the benefit of doubt.

Man that mulaka shit was f'd up. Not cool.

**jrk5150** · 08.21.06, 10:40 AM

Nice memory Lode. That was pretty fucked up. I knew I remembered that name from somewhere.

What kind of asshole gets off on that?

Whatever, I don't care. No skin off my ass. But me thinks Brad shoulda taken them up on the "just come back and move on" part. Opening up that Mulaka can of worms, assuming it was Mulaka, well, that's a mistake...

If it wasn't, then who cares, I didn't recognize any of the other aliases. He's not the first, isn't the only, and won't be the last that gets off on those kinds of cowardly, stupid little mind games.

Oh I remember that shit! Half the people were literally crying for this guy losing his family. Apologizing is nice but it doesn't mean that you aren't one fucked up cat.
I sincerely hope though that karma doesn't come around to get you because you are surely do!

Yeah, I seem to recall Brett so angry that he offered us Mulaka's IP address if any of us wanted to mess w/him. That was ridiculous.

Shocking. Not. Despite what some maintain, aliasing happens here all too often, whether admitted or not.

I'm glad you fessed up. Lying about tragic deaths puts you right at the very bottom of the barrel.

You're a dick. Don't think we'll forget it.

What he said. Brad, I'll give you a TINY bit of credit for fessin' up to all this but there's no way in hell I'll forgive you for the Mulaka stunt. Fuckin' SHAMEFUL. No joking - go seek some professional help - that was some SERIOUSLY sociopathic stuff...
