Sorry to hear this, David. I'm glad you spoke up though.

Did you ever see the thread I started?

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/1000764-no-more-freebies-bending-over-backwards-thats.html

I still reach out but have become more selective. It's not in my nature to totally give up on things. It kinda boils down to going into survival-mode more than anything, I guess.

Chin up, my friend!

Anyone can join the forum, there is no exam.

The interactions and corrections of others defines the organism that results.

It totally sucks that a few can ruin it for the many.

I agree with rattlsnak that they need to be outed. This community it too good to allow people like that to exist in it.

Glad to read that you're feeling fine. I can still remember reading about your problem.

David, so sorry to hear, my 22 bolt action Mossburg and my 12 gauge Browning Citori O/U survive because of you.

I wish I had a gun that needed restoration. I'd pay you upfront just to show you there are good people around.

Sorry Dave.

You are a stand up dude and as with many others here I'd feel 100% confident with you holding up your end of a handshake deal.

It's a shame some can't man up and do the same.

Based on Dave's experience, I'm not going to send guns to people on this forum anymore.

Fair percentage of people suck. Sorry to hear you had a brush with a few bad ones.

I'm with the others who express admiration for you. You've always been a great contribution to this forum, & it's saddening to hear you're withdrawing because of Aholes surfacing and taking advantage of someone of good nature. Seems like a lot of that going around.

It's all terrible Dave... You are one of the good guys and I'm damned sorry you were had by a couple lowlife.


Whatever you do, I just want you to know that i think you're great and many others think the same. Thanks for being a great guy. You have been so helpful in the past. Thanks for all that you have done. Your legacy gleams, a couple a holes notwithstanding.

The miscreants are probably following this thread.
Now is a good time to stand up and do the right thing by David.

As you can see he and his excelent work are well known here.

Redeem your selves and take care of this matter right away.
It's never too late to right a wrong. Your soul suffers when you live in a state of unbalance that you create.

Cheers Richard
