Happy Birthday, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐BTB!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He gave me a warning I was totally not guilty of and I argued about it in private. I was way out of line. I didn’t get banned or another warning though. He really is fair!
Mods are doing their job, it wasn't personal. After all, with all the bright minds surfing here (and are not just a few) from all corners of the World, everything can become chaos in a few days. It's a difficult job to keep everything on an even keel. Plus, any self-respecting entity, official or unofficial, digital or IRL, has a team of censors to intervene as needed.

Of course it wasn’t personal. I don’t think that at all. I used to run a popular forum website many years ago and enforced my own rules with an iron fist. Totally understand and I’m grateful he put up with my shit!
 
There’s a pulse under the US Sun - a jazz rhythm not even the boats or the flowers dare outshine. On the edge of a private lake, where the breeze brings whispers from a Golden Era, there’s someone who gets it right: a Soul forged in the thick of last century, when Swing was King and good taste wasn’t an option, it was a birthright.:cool:

He’s not just anyone. He’s the kind who commands respect both in the hum of real life and the digital boulevards of BlackHatWorld, stride matched only by his standards. Raised on reverence for Family and the kind of friendship that doesn’t falter in a storm, this man built his legacy with industrious hands and a formidable reputation.

He’s no stranger to a savory forkful of Italian, nor to the sounds of a certain king of swing crooning about wanting to be like you. It’s not imitation around here - it’s celebration: of Family, Friends, that home where laughter floats over the water, and the boat that’s never just a vessel but a testament to dreams well-earned.


Today, trumpets blare and reeds croon; the party might be understated, but the feeling? Magnifico. :cool:
When you honor a figure cut from jazz and hard work, you don’t say it - you feel it. :cool::cool:
This birthday, may his days keep moving to that unbeatable, old-school groove. :cool::cool::cool:



Happy Birthday, @BassTrackerBoats

You are well past a good human.

That video was great... fun fact, one of my sons and his wife used to compete in swing dancing.

He's in his 40's now so that is probably past what he would do today.

My respect for you, as I hope you know, is off the charts.

Have a great party, near Family and loved ones!
 
Happy Birthday @BassTrackerBoats
Even though BTB gave me a warning a few days ago (totally my fault for not reading the updated WTB rules :D), I still want to take a moment to appreciate him.
i read through many threads in the Dispute section, and BTB always comes across as fair, objective, and genuinely focused on resolving issues. He doesn't take sides, he just want things to be handled properly and respectfully. I even remember that a month ago, he paid a few bucks from his own pocket just to help settle a dispute. That really says a lot about his character.
Much respect to you, BTB. You’re a big part of what makes BHW a great place. Enjoy your special day!
