@the-gravedigger saidProbably some retread (or the auto-mod).
Who could be alerting Gambrels posts ? 😉 😉 😛 😛
@kevin-eleven saidIn his case he decided to stick his nose into what someone else was doing and he got a few slaps for it, the guy probably could have hurt him a lost worst if he wanted to.
But haven't you been getting into Gambrel's business, on this very page?
Gambrel is the one who brought it up, I just told him he would have been better off letting the Police look after it. 30 years ago I am sure he could have looked after it, no doubt in my mind on that one.

@very-rusty saidWhat makes you say that? Was he cooing at you? 😉
@Gambrel
You're a hell of a lot tougher on here than you were on the phone, from the way you talk you can't see unless your on top of something. I'd keep my cool if I were you, or someone is going to really hurt you!
Try keeping in mind your 30 years older than YOU use to be, before doing something not so smart like turning your back to the guy, lucky he saw you were an old guy and took pity on you.

I know you're trying to help, but it comes off as if you are talking down to Gambrel as if he has become a feeble old fuddy-duddy with diminished mental capacity who needs to have these things explained to him.
Oh, heck. Now I've done it, too. What a hypocrite. 😉

@kevin-eleven saidNot a hypocrite at all k-11, sounds like a grease doesn't it?

I've known Gambrel for many years, over a decade for sure and then some.
He is not the man he once was none of us are. I talk to Gambrel same as I would anyone else who was name calling. When you got nothing left that is all you got is name calling!
Nothing personal just something he shouldn't have gotten involved in and I think he learned a lesson.
You come off as a bit of a mouth artist looking for people to be on side with you, but there others in here could talk you under the table k-11.

@very-rusty saidBy Gambrel's own report, that someone else was illegally dumping construction trash in Gambrel's trash container, so it was certainly Gambrel's business.

And (as I'm sure you are already aware) unexpected situations often do need a little personal investigation before one can determine that the police should be involved.
If you and Gambrel are old friends who call each other on the phone, why are you "advising" him publicly on this forum?
@very-rusty saidOf course I'm too modest to call myself such a thing, plus I'm a little out of practice.

BTW, how did your errands go, or have you done them yet?
@kevin-eleven saidIf he felt like wanted to air in the forums he knew there was a good chance I would jump into the conversation. I am not one to shy away from controversy as he knows.

Sure get the info even film it but do not approach the man, that is looking for trouble.
Even if he did it in a nice way. He should got all the evidence he needed and turned it over to police, then I'd say he did a good job.
You can't go into it like you are the terminator! 😉

@kevin-eleven saidLOL@ k-11. Didn't expect me back so quick did you? 🙂

@very-rusty saidMaybe that's how you see it, but if you were already talking privately with him about it, can you see how it might appear you were trying to embarrass or shame him publicly?

To put a lighter spin on this: If you and Gambrel were to be the stars of an older-male reboot of "The Golden Girls", who should the other two housemates be?
@very-rusty saidI go into many situations like I am a cat who has to deal with erratic crazy people. 😉

You're the one with all the answers obviously!
If you think I am trying to embarrass or shame anyone including you, you're wrong.
I am saying the way it should have been done and I believe most sane people would agree collect the evidence, tape what you can trying to get enough of the man so he can be seen, then give said evidence to the Police, NEVER try to handle situations like that yourself. Hell he is lucky he wasn't shot.

@kevin-eleven saidSure you do, and you wear depends at night too!

@kevin-eleven saidAt least you think you do...Learn to understand when you are having something sarcastic said to you as it happens quite frequently on here.
That is correct.

@very-rusty saidThank you for your kind advice. I am a complete stranger to sarcasm and irony.
