Madpcar, I agree with you 100%.

What is SHOCKING is the number of people who continue to go on and on about what a good guy he is and how busy he is at his pool business. Who cares how busy his pool business is! Maybe if his business is so busy he needs to stay away from selling parts. And was his pool business that busy in February?? Give me a break. This constant defending of his poor behavior in this deal is ridiculous. Then when you have some poor guy who gets screwed, nobody wants to hear it and they all berate him for even suggesting he might be getting the screw.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm sure he is a good guy, I don't know him. But saying he must be busy with his pool business so he can't ship the guy a set of rod bolts?? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If all you guys are so friendly with him, why doesn't one of you give him a call to say, "Hey! What's going on with you? Just send the guy his rod bolts!" I know that's what I'd do if somebody I was friendly with was BSing in this manner.

I'll file this along with the rest of the bandwagon behavior I see on this board. If one of the "key players" decides to vilify somebody, the rest of the gang jumps on and dogpiles him. On the other hand, as in this case, if the person in question has a regular band of jock-riders and ass-kissers around him, they all leap to his defense without considering the situation. Why is there so much ass kissing on this board? I'll tell you why. So many people in the community have to put people on the top, or at the bottom, with no room in between. If you're at the top, you can make a killing selling ChapStick to your followers. If you're at the bottom, the same gang will hang you.

I'm just thankful I've never been at either end of those unfortunate extremes.
