Same. And here is the thing, I am honest to a fault. We used to be in a band together. And we ended up over time kicking out two band members. One was a drummer who was just horrible and refused to stay in time. The other two guys absolutely refused to play with him, but since we were all friends, I kept trying to work it out. I was the only one that told him the truth, while the two other fuckers hid behind my willingness todiscuss the issue. Dude ended up hating me for a few years because of it but still talked to the other two.
The second guy was a very close friend of mine. But he refused to do anything but constantly solo horribly. So as a group we decided to kick him out. Same thing. I was the only one willing to discuss it with him and why. Complete transparency. To this day, he still hates my guts but is facebook friends with he other two.
Neither of these were my idea. I just was the one person honest enough to tell them directly why. And it backfired.
Now this guy is accusing me of lying. Motherfucker, I wish I could lie.
