I would agree. While I am a believer in forgiveness, I draw the line when someone willfully steals from me. I never received all of the parts I ordered, nor did I get a refund. When I attempted to do so promised were made, not followed through with, then I was ignored. One could argue that it wasn't a lot of money, but that's not the point - it's the principal that is at the core of this whole situation. We placed our trust in Trent, he took advantage of it, and now it's considered that we should this all aside and pick up as if nothing ever happened?
The premise that we should do this for Rusty is a false one as well. Think of the logic: We place our trust in someone who has stolen from us so that Rusty can be made whole. Who is benefitting from this? Since the credit card companies made good on the money he ran off with makes him a'ok, right? Not exactly the formula for ethical business practices. On other lists I belong to this behavior gets you banned, and rightly so. I'm sorry, but I think the whole thing stinks to high heaven and that Trent should be banned. His actions were inexcusable. Just my $0.02. Dan On Jul 28, 2013, at 2:02 PM, Jaime Kopchinski wrote: > Opportunity to rebuild?! This guy "stole" from so many people and now hes > getting another chance?!
