    Mike, I'm like you. I believe people deserve a second chance. Some deserve/need a 3rd and 4th.
    That is the chance u take when using an open public forum....i am not the one who ran the background check and possibly the info found was for a legitimate business but some of the verbage seemed strange to me

    Mike I totally agree about public forums. Some forums can be brutal and anything goes. I guess I expect a little or a lot more from the members here at the SMF. Most members are very helpful and polite. I have never seen another forum quite like this one, which is why I was so disappointed when I saw the post the other day. I guess the Admin here felt the same way when they saw it.
    As far as your last statement......no, you were not the one that posted a background check on a member and yes the verbage was strange but it should have never happened.

    If my comments were inappropriate I apologize.......I only made a honest statement about his current website and commented on the strangeness of the report listed by another forum member.........I will now crawl back into my hole.........Hopefully the weather will turn a bit better soon and I can work on the mountain of electronics I have accumulated..........As far as a criminal record yes I have one and have been clean and sober going on 8 years now........I cannot say that I'm perfect but I am a much better person than I was back then and have at least become a "productive" member of society...........As far as purchasing items or selling I try to conduct my transactions with speed and dignity..........I don't purchase much here but I do sell quite a bit but most of the transactions are handled away from the forum anyways

    Mike, no need to apologize. You did not say or do anything wrong at all. I was referring to the other member that posted the background check.
