I'm gonna convert everyone here into google fans (well, expect for maybe Gr8, he loves his iphone)
I've said it before, I wouldn't mind it if Google took over the world, they're doing an awesome job with everything so far.
Welcome to the Google Galaxy guys.

CRH explicitly stated it is BHR's stance that the moderators and admins are/have/will take all steps necessary for the matter and that they support these steps.
Nothing but neutrality
edit: Charles - I don't think RIWWP was up to date on the thread, it's pretty clear it has nothing to do with the company, you've made it very clear!

Please carefully, and objectively, reread what I wrote. ALL of it. I posted in "that" thread because I have probably been victimized more than any individual around here (and NOT just by Brice but also by some of the "hero" vendors many of you support) and, thus, I am entitled to have Brice hear what I have to say. Go read my list of things Brice has done to my personal AND professional reputations. Although I wanted to keep things of this nature in a private context, people who have a habit of glossing over virtually everything I post around here and then attacking me for opinions I do not hold needed to be made clear on where I stand in all of this.
Strange how BHR has been sullied by Brice and yet I still hold some level of empathy for what he is putting himself through, on a personal level.
And I am not supposed to post in that thread?

I 100% recognize and I have read up plenty on what Brice has done to you and BHR as a whole, I even sent you an encouragement PM after one of those damaging actions I also 100% recognize the tough love you are giving him, and I applaud those actions, and I recognize your honest attempts at remaining neutral with the outcome.
I have nothing but praise for you and for BHR, and respect you highly, and I haven't even been able to buy anything from you yet (personal funds and all).
My post was simply my personal opinion (which I recognize is no one else's but my own, and I have no intention of forcing it on anyone) that BHR's (as a whole, not just you) involvement in that thread helps the conspiracy theorists to maintain their unrational and unrealistic BHR vs RR "battle" theories. Which I do not believe actually exists.
For that reason alone I made that comment, in that BHR has more to lose here in this discussion than to gain, and I sincerely hope you and BHR don't lose anything at all.

I used to have a policy of "professional courtesy" which was extended to all other vendors. After being screwed on various levels by all who were vendors at the time, I have decided to never let my guard down with ANY of them. Respect, yes. Fraternity, no.

It just make take quite a bit of time before people trust him again, probably too long for him to remain a vendor while that change happens and trust is re-established.

I recently switched to Chrome actually. There's a few things in it that I don't like but it is faster then IE. You can thank Flashwing for that though.
At the dyno day, IE was having issues loading stickam's website so he installed chrome and I've been tinkering with it ever since.
anyone else here use Chrome?
It drives me INSANE that the forum shortcuts don't work with Chrome. ie; alt+s = post quick reply ctrl+b = bold. Those don't work in Chrome.

And it's another thing to say your going to be a good guy since you've been caught. What were you before? Certainly not a good guy.
Why would this issue be brought up in the first place. Because of prior behavior.

Charles, I apologize 100% for any apparent insult or attack or offense I seem to have given. I did recognize that you may see my post, though perhaps I should have worded it better.
I 100% recognize and I have read up plenty on what Brice has done to you and BHR as a whole, I even sent you an encouragement PM after one of those damaging actions I also 100% recognize the tough love you are giving him, and I applaud those actions, and I recognize your honest attempts at remaining neutral with the outcome.

At that point, why should one even be given the chance to re-establish 'trust'. If one is caught lying to their employer about various things, don't you think that employer should let that employee go?
lol

Apparently Google are impatient with the free-market, given that they are bedmates with Obama. They want to be the sole provider of electronic medical data conversion and storage as part of ObamaCare.

Dude, the EASY thing would have been for me to say nothing about all this but BHR are not run by pussies and wimps. All four of us at BHR are not afraid to enter the fray and let the world know what we, as INDIVIDUALS think and feel. There is NO other vendor who are as personally involved in the lives of our fellow forum members and the validity of your opinions/thoughts is not predicated on whether or not you have bought anything from us. Plain and simple; we are all grown men dealing with matters of principle and philosophy in as mature a fashion as nature allows us. Healthy conversation that will continue to make the RX8Club the world's best enthusiast-based website.

He had dealings/ties with Scott and lied about them. Let alone any other drama... Game over!

Agreed. With all of that.Just a different personal take I guess. I didn't start bothering to learn to talk until I was 3 and my younger brother was already fluent with the English language.
Sometimes I wish I had waiting another 27 years.
Words have power, but so does the lack of words. Flip side of the communication coin.
Believe me, I have no problem with your involvement in the discussion. I just recognize the potential for unnecessary damage, which of course is also entirely possible with staying quiet.
As always, ignoring me can be a healthy option
Just ask my wife!
