Day 52.
No blog yesterday as the new meds I have been given knocked me out.
Interesting to see so many commenters willing to post insults, and text threats, but not brave enough to put their name to them. The miracle of the internet once again allowing people to continue pretending they don't exist, but giving them the chance to have their say anyway. Not content with not saying them to my face, you wont even put your name to them. If you think they are right then why are you so scared to stand up behind your views and put your name on them?
As to some of the comments themselves.
It's a blog about me. Yes it is. What else would I blog about. If you don't like it, don't read it.
"The running/sporting community are under no obligation...." My friends however do have obligations, that is what comes with being friends. If they don't want to live up to them then they aren't my friends (I expected a corresponding drop in my numbers on facebook today, there are 285 on there at 10am, how many of you are even brave enough to back the strength behind your insults to even go and "unfriend" me.
But on the wider issue, actually the running community do have a responsibility. It is covered primarily under the UKA Welfare policy but it extends to coaching and officiating qualifications:

So many threats, Kevin. Go on, try making a case to UKA. You are already well known to everyone in UKA as a pain in the wotsit. You do not have leg to stand on. And if you dare threaten the position of our coaches here in Aberdeen, who selflessly give up their time to helping so many others, then I for one will pour some of my ample financial resources (see you are not the only one) in to backing them. YOU have problem, it is yours, take ownership and stop blaming others.
ReplyDeleteMetro, Fleet Feet and every other club who you threaten should get you barred, and given all your threats it should not be too difficult. I'll put up the dosh if that is what it takes. You are shitting in our playground, Kev, and we have had enough.
ReplyDeleteWell, remind me never to join Metro or Fleet Feet then as from the above posts neither have any concern for the wellbeing and health of their members. Absolutely shocking and surely in violation of their club constitutions. Long term member of the Aberdeen running community and appauled by the above comments and the absolute disregard these so called clubs give to them members.
ReplyDeleteMany of you need to go and research mental health, I'm sure Kevin doesn't want to be going through all this nor has he done it out of choice.
So many people who slag of blogs seems to forget the basics - its your choice if you read it or not, if it's shit, why the fuck do you read it?
Disgusted - Its not a good idea to base your opinion on the reputation of a club on the comments of anonymous contributions.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Hope you work your way through this Kev. I'm still looking for someone to beat regularly at the Hammer again.
Anonymous, I have absolutely no idea who you are and judging by the way you comment I hope I never have to cross paths with someone like you. Yes, disgusted made an assumption but an understandable one given that you do reference running clubs. Also, you have absolutely no right to speak to anyone like that at all with those levels of swearing and anger. what about this blog has made you so worked up, petty and angry to be so abusive to people?
ReplyDelete@Kevin I didn't realise the severity of the situation until i read this blog. I don't agree with the way you are tackling the issue and i don't know how to help you as i haven;t had the same issues that you are having. You need to understand that others have issues that they perhaps don't make so public. I feel you have put me in a very awkward situation by forcing the Metro committee to make a decision which has been caused by two of the members. I only know parts of your story as i haven't spoken to sarah since this happened and it is clear that there is some deeper previous issue which has come to a head during this situation. I certainly hope you get this resolved and get back to your best sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteAs for the offensive comments that have been posted, these are pretty childish and uncalled for. Some of the comments from the anonymous poster are fair however crudely worded.
Those are my thoughts...
For the sake of accuracy and information: Kevin fights with everyone eventually. I am reliably informed he left the athletic club under a cloud just over two years ago. He decided ASV was charging too much, nobody else in the club agreed and none would back him (sounds familiar now, eh?) so he took the hump and off he went in a strop to Metro. There's a behaviour pattern here.
ReplyDeleteSome useful comments (some less so). And some quick answers for you:
ReplyDeleteNever been a member of fleet feet so might want to check your source on that one. But sourcing doesn't seem to be much of a concern for you as the child-killer thing is totally made up. (I know some of the meds I have been on cause memory loss but if I wrote that you will be able to link to it so others can read it).
And I haven't threatened anyone, I just pointed you to where the Rules are governing the specific issues. It only becomes a threat if the Club intentionally disregard those Rules.
You also need to check with your "reliable" source about me leaving AAAC. They offered a >1000% increase in annual cost for no additional service. So yes, I chose to object vocally to that and then to leave the Club. At the same time they were also bringing in a system for vetting juniors so they would pick and choose some and not allow the rest into the sport which I found morally objectionable.
(I am another anonymous person, If i put my name he will only try and hurt me/sue me for not being what he deems to be a good friend...)
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone you won't argue with? I don't want to be your friend anymore because you do not have ONE nice quality these days. Someone is only your friend as long as you act like their friend and hell... With friends like you, who needs enemies? All you care about is Kevin and Kevin's "problems". But y'know what? I've not been there for you because i have REAL problems when i could have used a friend, but where were you?? You got dumped, that doesn't even come close to what i've been going through. Yet I don't go around blaming the world for everything that happens to me. Shit happens. If you'd acted like an adult about getting dumped then you wouldn't be missing out on Metro, your friends wouldn't think you're a dick and you wouldn't be such an angry, sad man. People wish you well but it's getting silly every time you up the ante because the world hasn't given you the reaction (attention) that you think your "trauma" deserves. I hope you understand that it is because the things you complain about are not the problem. The problem is your mental health. Sarah could have been anyone. Metro is your only social circle so you're taking it out on them. You need to take control of yourself before you can be in control of your life. Hurting those around you isn't going to help. It's not their fault you're hurting and lashing out. You threw away friendship the second you started blaming everyone else for you being ill. You don't get like this overnight or over the space of a few months. This is long-term. The sooner you see that, the better...
It's the "crude" anon here. Will reply properly shortly, but Kevin, to aid your ailing memory, I refer you to day 29 of this twisted drivel, where you announce to the world that Sarah has killed your unborn children and stolen your right to be a parent. Hang your head in shame son, that's a shocking thing to say - disgusting. So wrong, so far detached from reality, it reeks of unbridled lunacy. Oh but of course, you can't remember writing that? Hmmm? Those nasty pills taking effect? You play that card, son, you shirk responsibility for your own poisonous actions - which youre good at. I'll simply say "warped selective memory". And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I won't ask for a defense, Kevin, because you have none. None whatsoever. It's just sick, sick, sick. Bye for now.
ReplyDeleteCrude. Having checked, I will stand up to writing that. And in the context is written I stand by it.
ReplyDeleteWell there it is, laid bare for the world to see. Abhorrent. Utterly disgusting. You make me sick. How anyone can defend you is beyond me. You deserve everything you get and I hope you rot. This is essentially a campaign of intimidation and bullying waged against Sarah. It comes from a man with no social skills, no social awareness, gross levels of emotional immaturity, and with a calculating, warped, twisted mind. You are sick and of course, wholly unfit to father children. It would be a crime if that were to ever happen. Thankfully, you are completely incapable of building any kind of relationship with a female, far less sustaining one. Any kind of sustained exposure to you, will rapidly show you up for the horrible, disturbed, unhinged, and on this showing, sadistic person that you are, thus ultimately preventing any chance of you fathering children - or put another way, no women would be mad enough. But of course, you blame the girl you barely know for your gross inadequecies and your failings as a human being. The rest of us will carry on in the real world. Good luck now, Raul, sorry... Kevin - you will need it.
