I just kind of wonder how many people are going to be former customers, after this finally settles.

thank you for the reply wayne, that's all we wanted.
we just found it strange that you were not aware of this thread going by how quickly any thread with the mention of his name was deleted.

Thanks for clarifying, Wayne.

re no one alerting you to this thread:
I suspect most posters just assumed you were aware of this thread, and all threads...

Of course, after all, he is the omnipotent God in these parts.

I always figure there's at least three sides to every story. Lord knows I hear enough of them at work.

Jesus tapdancing Christ I can't believe some of you guys.


The moderators have the good sense to stay the heck out of this thread and you get bent because they are not responding. WTF exactly do you think they would say? There is absolutely no good that would come out of one of those guys doing or saying anything.

Here is a flash for y'all. Wayne has a farking life.

I mean a real life, with a business and everything. Wife, kids, probably a dog and a cat, don't know, really don't care unless his damn dog bites me. If you look at the way he runs his business, you get a hell of a lot of insight into who the guy is.

Aside from this 10 page piss and moan fest, I have heard one complaint in as long as I have been coming around regarding our host Wayne or his business. That is in the last couple of days and the guy was full of crap(sorry Dawg, gotta call a spade a spade)

I appreciate all the work done by all parties concerned to send Jimmy Dickhead to pound 'em in the ass penitentiary. Thank you for your efforts, you have done a great service to our community. That said, for you guys to think Wayne is "on Jiimmy's side" or "protecting him," well, you are smarter than that.

It is beneath you all to cast aspersions on the character of Mr Dempsey. I am more than somewhat embarassed by many of the things said here. If it were me, I would take these things mighty GD personal because they are. Clearly he is much more even tempered than I, given his response.

responses from the admin was requested (or called out, however you want to say it) was very clear early in this thread.........
the frustration from many (including those who did not post in this thread) was simply from the lack of concern (read: posts) in this thread.
many of us see this as a very big issue.....the lack of response on topic which was considered taboo for years.......when the "end" finally arrived many took it as an insult of intelligence due to said lack of response......

either way, i'm glad wayne provided info as he said to help with the conviction when asked.......some were much more involved and my hat goes off to all involved in the case.

we all have lives, we also all have been contributors to this bbs and pelican parts for many many years......myself since 2001.....thats 10 years of helping where i can for no concern of anything in return....
we just wanted an answer.....period.

the comments posted on this board were real emotions from longtime members of this bbs and whether you agree or not they deserve some respect.....

all this could've been avoided with a simple response as stated previously.

All this could have been avoided with a phone call or PM.

I have nothing but respect for practically all the folks that come around here, more than that for the parties concerned in this issue, with the exception of Jimmy Dickhead of course. I appreciate the emotions involved, but the rancor toward Mr Dempsey is uncalled for, utterly.

I think removing the block on Jimmy is an excellent idea, probably can get more charges filed on that mug.

remember that all the comments were towards pp itself as a whole, and being wayne is the man here he's at the top of the ladder.

personally.....i cannot believe that the admins/wayne were not aware of this thread or the questions asked in it.......with or without pm's or phone calls doesn't matter.....
we all know they are an efficient group who watch after their investments, after all this is a VERY large customer base.....
when that customer base questions the authority you'd better be damn sure that they do in fact know about it........especially when posted on a public forum which belongs to them.......

anyway.....we got our answer and it's appreciated, that's all we were asking for......

Judging from my emails tonight, you are not alone in this belief.

A thanks to all involved in this.....and a hope for a retribution-able outcome.

It's a sad tale. This guy seemed to have positive talent, but didn't use it.

So when Scott brought the thread to my attention today, I was very disappointed in many of the posts. I was also disappointed that no one bothered to inform me or give me a heads up as to what was being said here.

I have given it some thought, and I have removed the Deering from the list of censored words. This does not magically remove the asteriks from previous posts - people will have to edit their posts in order to do that.

-Wayne
thank you wayne, that clears it all up imo....

and i believe that will satisfy the many concerned individuals on the subject....

You're not alone . Some of you long time posters should be ashamed of yourselves for questioning Wayne's integrity after all these years (and imo, that's exactly what you've done). It's just sad...

these were not random attacks at wayne.......they were simply and clearly concern for the lack of response to a seemingly important taboo topic
imo no one has anything to be ashamed of, we are and will be long time posters because we DO IN FACT care about integrity........the only reason it was questioned was due to the lack of any response whatsoever.....

anyway i think we're done with it........we recieved an honest response......

and jimmy deering is in jail........nice......edit cleared

thanks all

I just respectfully disagree. Not to pick on an individual, but there are posts on this thread about "being former customers", etc. and that's not right. Have we EVER not received an honest response from Wayne? Tobra's indignation summed it up pretty nicely imo, how would you feel if someone questioned your integrity? I didn't know "why" either...but knew for sure that it wasn't for nefarious reasons. I forgot to mention...thanks to ALL for helping the community...with this instance and many others! Group hug ?
