Really Amir!!! I feel that any reasonable minded fellow looking at the chronology of how that thread went would note that the 'other' member involved initiated and then escalated his 'attitude ' toward me, swung the first handbag before dragging some old and petty grudge from another forum onto this one, adding nothing but vitriol to his posting.
One might also note that *I* was, and still am, the one who apologised to the OP'er and requested a return to the subject of his thread.
One might also note that *I* complied immediately to the cease and desist request via Lee's moderation!
OP did not report your post. And yes, you a model of professionalism when you said this as your last post there:
Do try and exercise a little self control Howie, and show some respect for the OP by remaining on topic, or by STFU! Either would suffice.
Now let's compare that to what Steve said violated proper conduct on behalf of the OP in this thread:
In regards to opening the boxes, can you learn enough Amir if you had it X-rayed? Or perhaps slightly heated and then thermal imaging while it cools? Perhaps you know someone with a thermography camera. Or can arrange to rent such equipment. Maybe that in conjunction with Per supplying interior photos during the Entreq construction.
He said this to help with analyzing what is inside of the box since I was not allowed to open it. This is how Steve responded to him:
Any tests that Amir may perform should be done in good faith in an open and transparent manner.
Either he does it with PO providing the box(es) and cables on the basis offered or he does it by buying the boxes and undertaking whatever further examination he chooses.
Your proposal does not meet the good faith test and in my view does not reflect well on this forum
I completely agree Barry and would like to suggest to esldude that perhaps his post is somewhat inflammatory
A purely technical suggestion from a person in a different camp is treated as "inflammatory."
Who here thinks this is fair treatment of both camps?
Finally, the person who reported you Harlequin had said super unkind words about me behind the scenes. Yet when he reported your post, I put that aside and backed him. My job is to judge every situation fairly and properly. I owe it to you all to put all of that aside and govern the forum without my emotional baggage.
It is the lack of the same principal that stops me from supporting Steve in what he is saying. He must demonstrate evenhandedness or else it is a corrupt court and I can't allow it to happen.
