It has been few days since I wrote the original post in this section, which should have never been written in the first place, or if written, it should have been worded differently. So I have just edited it and took off the railing parts.
My number one mistake was not to have heed this forum's area rules, which obviously I didn't read very carefully, the main one being to wait at least a day to allow myself to be cool, un-pissed and be more objective.
My second mistake was to rail someone who deserves respect, mainly because he did not rip me off and refunded my money, even though he did not communicate in a way I would expect, I have no knowledge of his circumstances or problems he might be going through in his life. We are all human, and certainly I am the least perfect person I know.
Since the original post was public, I want to publicly offer my most sincere apology to Tom (TmMcglasson36): please forgive me for railing your character and saying you acted like a teenager and not a marine, and for using the language I used; looking back, I realize it was me who acted that way by writing what I wrote and I really regret it, and I agree with you, it was not fair; so again, please forgive me Tom. If you do, I would certainly do business with you in the future if you still want to do it, even though you probably think I am an ass, and I don't blame you for it.
While I can agree with some of the answers posted by other members of the forum, like coming to this area to mention problems we have with other members that could reveal certain patterns; this was not the case here, and I certainly agree that my original post was total trash because of what I said and the language I used, and if I offended any other marine out there, or member of our peace keeping, or armed forces, (or just offended you, period), I also apologize for that and humbly ask for your forgiveness. I am still extremely grateful for your service to all of us so that we can sleep in peace at night, I really mean that; especially the USMC, you have my utmost respect and admiration for all you do, and for enduring all the crap you have to put up with.
I am not trying to appear humble or put up an act to deceive anyone, the reality is that I broke my back while at work a few years ago, and I have to take a lot of medicines that can affect my thinking and my judgment sometimes, that day I was unusually hurting and was in a real pissy mood; this is not an excuse though, and that is why I retract of what I said. I learned my lesson.
I came here to make friends, not to have problems or create them; I learned my lesson (again), and I'm sorry I wasted everyone's time; I would think that this would at least show that I can repent of my sins and swallow my pride, and admit promptly when I am wrong about something I said or did, even if 'promptly' means a few days.
I'm leaving the thread open to give you a chance to respond if you want to, but you don't have to, nor would I expect you to. I certainly learned some more about the depravity of my own heart, the depths of which I cannot see nor fathom.
Thank you , and have a nice day.
