The guy knows he made a mistake with those incidents. We all make mistakes.
I'm confused... why acknowledge that to you, and not to the buyer? Why not admit the mistake when he was called out for it in the thread the buyer started? If he had done that, then "most" people here would have chalked it up as a mistake/learning experience for him. I know I would. I don't understand that.
The "red paperclip" deal will never be forgotten. That's just one of the "memorable" moments in oldgas history. Sorry.
