It's easy to trust a man who is obviously a true gentleman,,,,,,,,,,,ans a better man than I am!

Right is right, wrong is wrong. In this case, you were right, he was wrong...

Doug, you have proven to be a man of humility and honor for many years. Not just on the forum but your selfless pursuit of rigorous honesty in the preparedness community, (your pursuit of honesty with the SPOT system comes to mind), and documentation of SHOT shows, often on your own dime.

For years I only read off your main page and never joined the forum. This side only validates that side.

I declined to engage in the discussion because no one was going to convince the OP that he was wrong, and he was going to convince no one here that he was right. His perspective of reality, based on the only threads he started or responded to, was so obviously skewed that there was no hope of meaningful communication with him. Why waste time and effort and frustration trying to argue with a stump?

Everyone who uses this forum even a modicum must realize Doug, ETS, and Aeromedix all have integrity. Their word is solid, their reputation reliable, and their dealings more than fair. Obviously the OP was not interested in getting what he paid for, he used what would be an easily correctible situation to make himself seem important and authoritative at someone else's expense. His other threads bear evidence that he has little respect for the rights of others if they should interfere with his own wants and needs.

He'll get no further response from me. If he's gone, good riddance. If not, let us hope he learned something from this exchange, though that at this point that seems unlikely.

In other words, don't come into someone else's yard and cop a squat unless you expect to get a bb in the left cheek.

This whole thread reminds my of this attempt to buy a Fish License from the post office.

Just got an email from Elliot at Aeromedix.com. Seems he was just now contacted to return the knife. Just posting to be sure we keep the record and timelines straight.

Agreed thanks Doug.

Back? *snorts* Doug's got a detail in waiting here.

That was part of the interest for me. It seemed to me that he wasn't a troll, but someone with a genuine grievance - and that he's now contacted Aeromedix confirms this. He'd flipped into a state of mind that made it hard to get through to him, but I felt I had an angle that was worth a try.

Yes, but the poster didn't realise that. Instead he thought Doug was a rip-off merchant and that the people supporting him were fan-boys. He wasn't going to accept what he saw as shoddy products and service. In some ways his stance was admirable, if inappropriate here. There are some shady dealers online, and it's a public service to call them out. (I'm a British person, and over here we hardly ever complain about anything - at least, not to someone who could fix it. That's not really a survival trait.)

I hope he comes back because I think he could be a worthy and valued member of the community, once these little misunderstandings are past.

Sorry Brangdon, but I strongly disagree! signed P.P.o.W.
