Mitch, trust me, I'm well aware of the fact that you know and speak with Mark. - Remember not so long ago when I stupidly spouted off about him and his plans regarding MAC and you and Steve ran with it to go nipping at him for daring such a thing? - Thats where the dogs reference comes from. - Oh, but wait, that's right, I'm the disloyal customer / back stabber, right I forgot about that....

Norm,
I don't follow you here. All I did was tell Mark I heard a rumor, and asked him if was going to work for MAC. I didn't critize him for doing so in the least. He said he was, and that was the end of it. I believe our humble moderator can back me up on that one. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Steve nipping at Mark either. You need to go back and check your facts again Norm. There is no need for selective memory to decide this either as it was all logged. I don't recall anyone on the BOD ever nipping at Mark about anything. You need to check your facts and come back and appologize.
Mitch

Croak,
This is an industry forum and there are serious threats to peoples livlihoods and life investments here. Perhaps the issue has no stake for you but it sure does for others.
Sincerely Steve,
PS. Its very easy to stay civil and polite when ones cares for nothing being said and done. Simple in fact. Follow me to an irrelevant thread on turtle nutrition and I'll show you.

Still, discussion can be conducted in a civil, respectful manner by all parties. Croaker is right; there is far too much negativity in this forum for it to produce any progressive movement. I implore everyone to discuss issues respectfully. To me, it's easy (and more critical) to stay civil and polite when one cares for something, especially if one wants others to understand (not necessarily agree) with his/her point of view.

You need to check your facts and come back and appologize.

Just as I cannot, our humble moderator cannot verify what has/has not taken place offline.

I will only grant you that Mark is the only one who can attest to what levels he felt "nipped" and that is something only Mark knows for sure.

One fact I will share however is that I was tapped by someone very much in the know that when I had let the cat out of the bag and that "he will catch some hell from AMDA for pursuing a position with MAC" - referring to both yourself and Steve in regards to Mark.

And don't confuse this an an apology either, you won't get one, just as I do not expect to get one for having been called what amounts to a disloyal backstabber "intent on building a list that is designed to destroy brick and mortars".

So go back and check your facts. - The list I had (and stopped updating/adding to back in December or earlier) was not nice to brick and mortars. - If you'd checked your facts before running off at the mouth, you'd have seen that the database I am building is not just for e-tailers. (Nor is it just for retailers, which is probably the real crux of Steves craw.)

And Steve, that image was not meant to concede anything. Your amazing intellectual powers should have been able to gleen that the image referenced ALL parties..

Edit: In other words: I feel dumber for having played my part in it..

On the contrary dear Norm. Glenn sits on the AMDA BOD with Steve, Mark, and I. Even if he wasn't at that particular meeting he receives the log. None of us gave Mark any grief.

I have asked Mark if this is so.

This is some sort of rumor and has no place here. This is an out and out lie. You need to disclose your source. Unless you started it.

I don't need to do any such thing just as you don't need to disclose your source of my supposedly being a disloyal customer, a backstabber and now a rumor-monger. :evil:

If however, you truely wish me to disclose my source, I recommend you follow due process as that's the only way I will disclose it. You've gotten quite a bit more information out of me already than you will ever deserve, be grateful for it.

The log of this conversation was and may still be embedded in RDO's database. If you can convince the admins to pull a backup and search my PM's then you can get it that way. - Otherwise you're just gonna have to take me to court like I said above.

The hypocracy I see in this forum is really staggering.. - I only hope plenty of hobbyists watch it to get better informed of who it is they're giving money to (or not..)

Your original wording and subsequent dealings with me in this thread and in the thread where I opened my mouth and inserted foot tell me where the truth of your words lay Mitch. - I'm willing to bet Mark only has a thicker hide for having dealt with it as well.

I'm locking this thread for two reason:
1) the post count is out of index
2) the issues being discussed now are best dealt with privately.
