Bobbe Seymour has probably helped more steel players than any other professional player. You have to realize that if all the Pro players did all the freebies that they were asked to do, that is all that they would be doing. You sir Mr. Beckner, have lost my respect. I will however, continue prayer for your wife. Larry B.

Re: Bobbe's Newsletter
My comment is from someone not at all connected to the steel community. My sporadic playing is for my amusement. What I read in the news letter had some humour involved. At first it appeared to be a paying gig but that wasn't communicated clearly. Later it was discovered to be a charity golfing event who invited a non-golfer to play. As a non-golfer myself I can only image the possible humiliation that could have resulted. No where did I read into this that charity was not important.

Mr. Beckner, You're Completely Over the Top
Sir, it would be a good idea to pull the asbestos blanket down over you good and tight. As the title of this post indicates you have really put your foot in it. You could pick on anyone on this forum besides Seymour and probably be 'safe' for a bit, but Bobbe Seymour has assisted more steel players, not only in this country, but all over the world than any individual I'm aware. You're just off base and that's all I'll waste my time saying. Certainly, we're all concerned about steelers and their families but don't you think some of us can't dig in pockets that don't exist to help your deserving wife. My family has included your wife's name on our prayer list, and will continue to do so. I read Bobbe's article and like others I don't get anything out of it such as you posted.
In short, you owe Bobbe S a great big apology and explain fully to the members of this forum the reason for your action with this slanderous post. 'nuff said'

David Beckner, this is indeed a slanderous post. If anyone has lost respect for anyone, it is us for you. You have NO idea of how many people Bobbe Seymour has helped over the years. If Bobbe did not choose to contribute to your effort, he had his own PRIVATE reasons for which he is entitled to have! To come on our Forum and try to publicy slander him says more about your character than his. This is disgraceful. Shame on you.

David - I realize I can't speak for Bobbe, but I think you completely missed the point of his story, which was to relate a funny and self-deprecating story of massively-misfired communication in the Nashville music biz. I got a big laugh thinking about Bobbe at a celebrity golf tournament (remember Pres. Gerald Ford nailing a spectator on the head with a drive?), which I'm pretty confident was his point. You are way off base with this criticism. I think you'd be smart to just bail out and plead ignorance.
More to your point - when did it become rude to not give to every charity for which a donation was requested? There's a lot of need in the world, and your implication that there's something wrong with not trying to take on every request is baffling to me.

Mr.Seymour's humour is much like mine in some respects,kinda off the wall & maybe a bit of a lack of wording but to say Bobbe doesn't care or doesn't want to give to a charity he believes in is utterly preposterous,apologize & you may save face but I hope it is sincere & not to just get the folks here off your back. That's bad!!!!

Phew, that was some vicious attack... obviously totally uncalled for. I see nothing wrong with Bobbe's reaction to being lured into something under false pretenses. And someone with as much and as quirky humor as Mr Seymour just cannot be a bad person!
If I held a grudge against everyone who hasn't sent me money, I would have about 7 billion enemies by now...

Probably best that b0b closes this one up quickly. Those of us who know Bobbe and his sense of humour will know that this ferocious and hurtful attack on him is so wide of the mark and unwarranted..
