Interesting reaction.
My son is addicted to cocaine and no one who hasn't been through this can even begin to imagine what it is like. To put any of it on the parents is at best postulating on the situation. When it happens to you I think you might come back and change a post or two.
I said I didn't know if I'd be strong enough, but my conviction is still that the response to a drug addicted child is NOT to keep bailing them out and fixing their problems for them. My kids are paying their own way through college and pay for their own car insurance and repairs, having bought their own cars. Mostly it's because I'm not made of money and I can't afford to pay for all of that, but it's also a conscious decision on the part of my wife and I. We made our own way and our kids will have to make theirs.
Sometimes parents can't help themselves and see it as their duty to protect their child from harm and pain. I don't know your situation and I wouldn't presume to judge you, but the facts in this case are known. He is a user and he used Bigs.

As for Bigs being scammed, having a son who had problems with drugs, he could spot one a mile away and yet he didn't say no. I am not faulting Bigs for being mad or helping Ross out. I am calling bull**** on he was scammed....
Bigs didn't have enough clues until he met the guy. Then his radar went off and he offered to put the guy up in a hotel. Ross scammed him by smoking in the room and taking off without paying for the damages. That's the act of a user and a scammer, and the definition of a scam.

Pain builds character... it's necessary to appreciate pleasure.

Really guys, this has to be talked about everyday? The way I loosely read this thread this all happened a long time ago. Bigs sounds like a great guy and I am glad he is posting again, but I think this horse has been dead for a long time. This does'nt surprise me though. A lot of people around here sure like a train wreck better than working on and talking about 928's. I think its time for this post to be moved to the off topic section.

Yes, I think pretty much everyone who wanted to comment has had the opportunity to do so.

So, with that, I think it's time to bid this thread adieu and get back to 928 stuff!
