I just read the thread that was recently locked.
I've known Jim for a number of years, and can safely say that he is one fine and upstanding gentleman. His credentials and personal integrity are second to none. He has done a yeomans job in helping our common interests. In short, Jim is a good man.
Those that decided to take apart his original post are well known for some of their other dealings. I assume that if that had been known ~ many who simply piled on would have second thoughts.
I consider it vindictive, the manner in which he was painted into a corner. He didn't shy away and answered questions with candor.
Jim was new to this forum and did not get the rules right on his first post. He recognized his error and apologized for the mistake. The behavior of many of the forum members that responded to the thread is simply embarassing to many of the rest of us.
Jim could have been one of the best contributers to this forum, and most certainly would have added the depth of his knowledge ~ expanding our collective goal of sharing information...
I hope that he will someday give the rest of us a 2nd chance, and occasionally post in THR....
So Jim, from the bottom of my heart ~ please do not allow yourself to be chased off by the few....when so many of the others would be proud to be associated with you on this forum....
I am truly sorry to see your treatment at the hands of a few small minded individuals ....
