They wont leave will enough alone:

This isn't going to happen. He knows I will not take it even from him.

Bout 2 years ago I hired his son to come out to a pasture I just rented to bushhog and drag it. When loyd's son got finished Him and I loaded his tractor on the trailer and chained it down. He got in his truck and left when I whent to my truck for my wallet. I thought he just forgot so I followed him to his house. He would'nt take the money. I left it in his door. The next morning when I whent to my truck the money was on the window wiper. I called him up and he said my money was no good. Needless to say their tractor have'nt been on any of my pastures again. Loyd keeps affering to cut and bale a 72 acre pasture I have. He will not agree to any of my terms. I've offered $9 a roll or he takes half. He does'nt want anything. I can'nt allow a man to work for nothing not to mention spend money on fuel, twine and what ever else that might come up.
I'm no better than anybody else. I just dont believe anything is for free. If it was'nt just my feelings, theres other things. Like I've mentioned I in a position at work where these guys paycheck is based on my grades and weights of their grain. If I ever let it get out that ?I have people doing things for me and someone is having a bad day or harvest they can easly throw this up. I'm manging alot of ground as yu can see. So a little help will carry me along way. I dont want to one be looking at loyd's load and find Aflatoxin in it and be faced with "what do I do now". I know in some way I'll feel compelled to let it slide. But I cant do that cause it will be unfair to all the other farmers and the company I work for. Although it wont hurt my company cause I can blend it out. Its the matter that I would know what I did even though I did'nt tell anybody.`

I understand your ethics and I admire them. But you shouldn't let your ethics get in the way of friendship. Some people receive their rewards by helping others without wanting compensation. I know that it makes me feel good to help others when I can and can afford it. It has nothing to do with how am I going to get rewarded down the road. I feel my reward will come hopefully when I am gone. Just because I helped someone at some time is no guarantee.
I don't know your friend so I don't know how he felt when you returned his (your) money. If you accept his offer of friendship does not mean you have to compromise your ethics in the due course of your company's business. All I guess I am saying is being neighborly and giving of services is not a crime. Your not accepting of his services may be robbing him of something he may be feeling he needs.
Sorry to get off subject.

Talk about irony and just rewards! When it was just you, you weren't hardly worth giving the time of day, now you're the most important customer they have. I'm with you, they showed their character in the beginnning. I doubt their character has changed, just their motivation.

Sorry you're being pestered, but great ending to you storey!

The entire matter is so petty - it's a waste of 1's and 0's to continue it any further.

Do you want affirmation that you're right? Okay - you're right. Or, do you just want to complain further? Grow up, make your decision, be responsible for it, and live with it - just quit whining about it and stop being a self-made victim - just get on with the your life.

Exiled's last post was almost 2 1/2 days ago. Exiled's last relevant post was "03-09-2008 08:57 PM", which was even further back. I'd say he already got on with his life days ago.

Aight. When did I ask if I was right? I asked what would you do. Waste of the binary code? Why did you have to reply, and waste it further? My decision was made long before I ever posted. I gave credit to suggestions that I thought merited that does'nt mean I changed my mind. I'm posting in a tractor buying section on a forum. So naturally I'm talking about my buying expernce. Its just talk with a new crowd I just joined. Again I think you messed something cause I have'nt started to whine. I just made a statement.

I reckon the only thing I think your right on about is me making myself a victim. I should have never did busness with that Tri-Green. My biggest mistake was I opened my mouth afterwards. I should have just kept quiet. Of well I live and I learn. Your way to late if you where to open your eyes and read aliitle more you would know me and my little tractor has licked our wounds and moved on.

This is the best post yet. What great advice. Thank you Warren for your splendid advice. You made a dang good point. If only I had not acted so rash. I see things so clear now. And to think I almost went and watched CSI instead of logging on.
