Recently I was the victim of a thread posted here that got pushed out of control, was not moderated correctly, and where mob mentality, inferences and innuendo instead of facts, convicted me of something I absolutely did not do, would not do, and could not do.
Here is the thread I am talking about:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=650808
This is my opinion, which I stand by and will argue privately with anyone.
I was denied any kind of re-buttal because the thread was locked. So now I will say this........., the internet is a big place. The cold, hard, written word is a powerful thing. That thread was used to smear me and will always be there as negative information for people to use against me whenever they want. That thread and the crap contained in it will never go away and will be available to anyone at any time. Apologies at the end are useless when so much is there that is negative. I can only hope that people really see who pushed that thread out of control and who manipulated it for his own purposes. I'm not going to say..............you make your own opinion.
I am no perfect person. AND.....I have made right any mistake I've made and the people directly involved in those mistakes are now current customers, and some have even become friends. So, flawed or not, mistakes or whatever..........I stand and make things right. I don't run away.
I also do not tolerate personal attacks like those made in that thread.
If you are going to post here, and you have a legitimate problem, then post it and look for help in resolving it.
If you don't have a dog in that particular fight, stay the hell out because it's none of your business.
And, if you don't know the facts, the circumstance, or the people involved............then shut the hell up. No one, not a member, not a mod, not the owner and not even the Pope himself has a right to talk about things they know nothing about. Keep in mind that for every bit of nastyness you put out without knowing the facts and without knowing the ENTIRE story, is a bit of nastyness that can come back and bite you in the ass.
I see three kinds of people in this part of the forum
Which one are you?
Be courteous and helpful. Listen and learn. And just remember that if this can happen to me, it can happen to you, no matter who you are.
IMHO
Peace.................take care of yourselves, and those near you.

I see three kinds of people in this part of the forum
- People who have a genuine problem and are looking for some solutions and help
- People who are so unhappy, that they have to make the rest of the world unhappy just to feel good
- Good people who get sucked in to a mob mentality because they lose sight of basic courtesy and compassion, and because they want to help, but have no practical way of doing so.
