Dear Gambino's,

As you will be aware, I launched a writing competition, managed the whole thing (with contributions from friends and family), the Streets were alive with speeches, many millions of dollars were given in prizes and people the length and breadth of this thing of ours were happy, talking about the Streets.  Heck, people were stopping me in the Streets - some from your crew - and asking when the next one was.

So, I announced another competition!  And, well, then you did.

And then you did...

And you are an entire family, and I am one guy.  One guy in the best family in this thing of ours, but one guy all the same.

So, I gotta ask you, Gambino's, in the nicest possible way...

Why did you do that?  Why did you take my idea and use it for your own ends?  Couldn't you have worked with me?

What's the issue?

As a follow-up, it's been brought to my attention that I should have done my due diligence before pointing fingers.

The Gambino's were operating a different thing in a different place.  I got confused and shot my mouth off.

I should have thought and researched before I spoke, and I want to apologise to the Gambino's, and to my own family.

No hard feelings were meant, and I truly am sorry.

How about using a bit of punctuation?  And you're making assumptions.  And you know what they say about people who make assumptions.

Oh I'm not making any assumption, I KNOW you just made a FOOL OF YOURSELF in public. You must be completely out to lunch on the meaning behind Omerta. Keep internal issues internal. Got a problem with his business than talk to him instead of airing your dirty laundry in the streets kiddo. Also guess what, you don't have ownership of such a competition. It's been done back when you were still a sperm and it'll be around long after we all pass.

How about not starting a sentence with the word 'and'..

Oh, TonyCosta.  You call me a fool.  A FOOL, even, but what you don't realise, because you're as curious as you are intelligent, is that Omerta was fully and absolutely respected.  You have shown yourself as unworthy of the rank that you hold.  

Was dirty laundry aired?  I must have missed that.  But then again, I was round at Mrs Costa's for a while, so that might be what you're picking up on.

And, actually, I have complete ownership of the competition that I own.  That's how it works.  I own the competitions that I design.  

And, I asked a question about a friendly family's competition, in a manner not befitting my status and without due respect and care.  Which I apologised for.

And as for you...  Well, you're just an angry guy standing shouting on the Streets.

Have a great day, TonyCosta.  

And one last thing; I'll start a fucking sentence with whatever I like.  How about concentrating on your own business?

Are you seriously so disrespectful that you are saying you have been with my wife? Is that what a wiseguy says to a man whom not only has his button but also is pretty high up in the Seattle doings? Being under someone as respected amongst the community as Uncle Joe I would think you would conduct yourself better in these streets, kid.

Ask them in private as to me it sounds like you are crying out here, because they wanted to have a family competition, but little baby RonnieRamsay threw one before so some how has claims on all street competitions..

Another correction, not screaming but someone like yourself who is so attentive when it comes to punctuation should know that. So wait you're going to stand there and tell me use punctuation when you don't even know how to start a proper sentence?

I've seen people killed for less, I'll be waiting on your apology but again so you don't air your dirty laundry just speak to me privately.
