So, you guys can remember it the way you want. Unless someone edited the posts, he was never attacked that I can see.
Except by Joesho a while later.
BTW, You announced Shemp arriving in June 04, Shemp had already been here back in March and February and had been welcomed quite warmly by all he encountered.
Shemps first postand his initial reception:

Anyway, you guys can remember whatever you want, I thought this was a no spin zone where when we encounter truth, we admit it.
Here's all thethreads Shemp posted in and I can't find anyone being mean to him.

I think this is missing some back story info...
GonZo in particular had been after Shemp to post for nearly a year, ever since he came to Atlanta. Told him we'd love to have him, Oprano really was missing that TGP persepctive and a lot of the players over here were finally testing the TGP waters (which was true at that time).
Now go re-read the thread with that back info.
Did he feel welcomed and that people here were receptive to hearing what he might have to say and bring to the table regarding TGP's? No, it felt more like an attack on his whole business plan. And happened right out of the gate.
His reaction was he didn't need that shit and he bolted. And hasn't had much use for GonZo ever since...
Interesting side impact there was GonZo was brokering some traffic trade deals for TGPs being run by some of the regulars here via Shemp and they were getting some fine traffic from it. Some of the same ones in that thread. That traffic went away...
