this conversation began with andrew mentioning how trent's deeds remain largely unknown. it is piling on in this very small group but my customer list is about 6,000, maybe 100 or so have contact with this list. the case is not closed for those 5900 people who think they are buying from buymbparts but are actually buying from trent, whose answer to what he did was basically that he doesnt' know why anyone is upset as their credit card companies have or will make them whole financially. why should i not document what has happened to those 5900 people who don't know what happened and haven't yet given him money and sat wondering for weeks where their parts are? imagine you were doing business with a crook and i had documentation that he was a crook, but i let you just give him money without informing you? what sort of person would you think i was when you discovered your parts were never coming and i knew that this was a likely outcome beforehand? this is really essentially what i am being asked to do and i have done so for a long time against my better judgment for no other reason than i have feared anger and retribution from this group. it just doesn't seem that good a reason not to do the right thing, either on moral or pragmatic grounds. the reality is that very few of you buy from me and those who do have experienced outstanding service and value that they probably wouldn't discard out of protest over trent's exposure to an unknowing public. and those who aren't buying from me, especially those who won't consider it due to their established hate bias against me, well, are they going to now stop buying from me more than they are already not buying from me? there is a kind of group psychosis going on here, i would say "unusual" but it actually seems fairly common. it may just be all groups create a mythologizing orthodoxy. the official public veneration of rusty, my absolute villification, the insanely irrational support for trent (talk about a religious cult in the making!) -- it's all lunacy. while many of you might be rational and decent people individually, as a group you are fairly crazy and i am wondering if this opposition to my exposing trent to the unwary is simply part of this madness and nothing more. i think maybe it's just the nature of groups as such to get crazy and support each other publicly in that crazy. but i really don't want to join into crazy time and will try to avoid doing so i'd like a reason not to expose trent that makes sense to me so it's something i do for some other reason than fear of your anger and retribution
