IMHO... I think that the post should have been deleted and Snowman should have been banned for a month... I think a permanent expulsion may be a little too harsh for that one post (Which I am basing my opinion on) There may have been problems addressed and warnings given in the past that I am not aware of, but even Wayne himself has stated that he is not the cheapest retailer on all of his parts. I don't think most of us purchase from Pelican because of cost, I think that we order from them because you actually get to talk to someone that is familiar with the product, and when you order it, you know it is going to show up at your door and not at some topless bar two states away from you. With all that being said it is sad to see any Pelican chastised.... I mean really sometimes we all get a little raw and need a swift kick in the rear.....
RIP Snowman
