Taps, when you posted this gae9 wasn't the only one to get ticked off by the comment, I never expressed it openly or through PM, but regardless was pissed off by your comment on the fund drive. If I recall correctly there were six of us, to include myself that are here in Afghanistan, and we decided to help out in the fund drive. Most of gave money and I believe one us even gave cigars as well (plack if I'm not mistaken). Now as far as gae9 and myself we won't actually be seeing any of this, our time here is almost up and we are heading home soon, but we helped out regardless of this fact.
Now understand you say that you were only busting balls..........
I know everyone has a different sense of humor but I find that I still have an issue with this, because from reading through earlier post it is clear that your post was not well received by gae9 and several PM's were exchanged in regards to this. Now did it ever occur to you to:
1) Post another comment on that same forum saying you were only joking around?
2) Apologize openly
3) Delete the post
Look a lot of us here are n00bs and we are still trying to figure things out, build credibility, and along the way we are bound to make mistakes. When its apparent that a mistake has been made its best to suck it up and quickly apologize before things get out of hand. If you make any trades or take part of a PIB and someone has an issue with it, quickly try to remedy the situation, and if needed send a second shipment to whoever felt wronged in the process to make up for the shortfall.
