I never had any intention of posting in this thread, I got tired of it on the second page and could only comment on my personal dealings with ET and the SC members, so decided to hold my tongue.
For anybody who may be interested though, those dealings have been with exceptional people who I regard as stand-up members of the community, and even as friends in some cases.
People have opinions that differ, they are entitled to them, but where I come from, you NEVER walk into another mans house and disrespect him, if you do, then you know where the door is, and dont let it hit your a$$ as you leave. ET has my utmost respect for the time he gives to this site and for the deals he continually offers the BOTL here (and as it turns out, elsewhere too). He is human, mistakes can be made, and as far as I can see, he stepped up to rectify a simple mistake. Then he was burned for it ..........
As for the comments regarding TFire, I take exceptional offence to the way this MAN was spoken about. Brave words spoken over the web, a truly different story I would bet if they were in person.
For what it is worth, I would be proud to stand next to this man who stood up to be counted for his country and belief's,
From what I can see on the other sites I have visited since viewing this thread, too much hate and yak yak yak, and not enough smokin of stogies. Sad sad people who need to get out more in some cases. I dont know any of these people, but I must admit to being a bit puzzled as to why they are generalising about all of the BOTL on here as a$$holes, sheep, f$*kwits etc etc, refering to us as the Sploogiechat crew? WTF is that all about, I am a 42 year old MAN, this is begining to sound like a nursery, if I have offended anybody and they decided to offload in this manner, fair deal,
but to collectively brand me and people I regard as friends without taking the time to get to know me/us gets neither my respect nor admiration and where I come from, I take as I find and expect the same in return.
As for this thread, ITS TIME TO LET IT GO.
Everybody is more than welcome to hang out here, just leave your baggage at the door, take as you find, as will be done with you and dont let petty little people instill their petty little problems in you.
