Who wants a Mnandi???

Granted, I came to this late, but in all honesty I didn't even look at the dates. I was doing research in the Busse forum and came across a post by Tool. I saw he was banned and was interested to see why. I did a search under his name and this was one of the first posts that came up. I didn't even look at the date. I just started reading. My anger for the way Gary was treated was as fresh as anyone else's who posted in this thread. As for Tool, he had always seemed level headed to me by his earlier posts, but by his actions, I think he got what he deserved. I DON'T think that Gary Graley got what he deserved. The amount of time that has passed shouldn't prevent me from expressing my opinion and defending someone who is as great a guy as Gary. Rick chose to post what he did and he will reap what he sowed. Just as I will for what I posted above.

I also forgot to comment about this James. How come the simple fact that there is three weeks between when you told Rick that he was out of line, and when I told him he was out of line, makes mine "...for no reason". If Gary was worth defending three weeks ago, he should be worth defending today. Letting "sleeping dogs lay" only allows them to rest up for the next time.

Jim, I don't think the reason you posted in this thread was to defend Gary, but to attack Rick. I am glad you brought this to the top for one reason, though...

Rick, I think you have crossed the line from concerned member of the forum to overwrought "keeper of the flame".

I apologize for that comment, Rick, it was out of line and beneath both of us. I'm glad we were able to put it behind us without even bringing the subject up. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
 
James,

I am glad that Jim brought this up again too.

It gives me a chance to apologize to Gary.

Toolin just really frustrated me, because I couldn't do anything, and I blew up.

I was out of line and have a lot of respect for Gary.

You shouldn't apologize for being right my friend; I did cross the line.
 
Geez Rick, now I feel like the big JERK! I admire that you ignored what I said and just apologized to Gary. Not that it should matter to you one bit, but I just gained a lot of respect for you.

As one of the participants in this thread, I just want to commend RGRAY for his most recent post, and to apologize for any of my comments that were out of line.

Also, Rick - you weren't alone on the frustration caused by Toolin. I know that I personally am getting pretty tired of seeing the no-selling rule bent with the justification that "it's just this one time". We support you on that one, bud!

P.S. The picture of your Zulu Trio helped me make the decision to purchase a small Classic. Thanks!
