Scoop, I don't know Brian or the other lady April. My posts regarding Brian early on were not kind, and were solely based on the information given at the time. Mostly his wanting to give Ray money, and the statement about red white and blue, to be honest I didn't know it was Brian who said that, and was only commenting on the statement itself.
That said, scoop I know that you and userid have expressed strong opinions on the events that occured. Just food for thought but isn't it entirely possible that Brian does regret his actions, and is very aware that he hurt others in the process. I can totally understand why people were upset, and also can see that many are still angry.
Scoop people make mistakes, they mess up, and yes sometimes they mess up in big ways. To err is human, to forgive is divine. If you and others are still upset with Brian, so be it. For those who have forgiven him so be it. Remember mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn and grow. It is entirely possible that the lessons learned here will give Brian the humility that is necessary to become a better businessman. I believe when people take full responsibility for their actions, and make amends that they are worthy of a second chance. There has been a time in every person's life when we needed a second chance. Just think about how you felt when someone gave you that gift, and also when someone denied you that also.
The above is just my humble opinion.

OT but I sold 2 items on ecrater that were in my higher price category. In one case the person contacted me via ebay, where I don't have any items for sale, about an item I did have on ebay quite awhile ago. I emailed him, yada yada, he bought it on ecrater, no fees, SWEET. Woohoo.
Now back to the grand re re re re opening gala. I am going to borrow a diva gown from Fine. The one with rhinestones, and tons of bling.

Good prior post Banana. Â
I'll match your sales and raise you one.Â
Also off topic, my one week 10 cent listings on eBay will end tonight. I do not intend to renew them until the next listing special. But as a matter of interest, I have had 400+ viewings of them, with sales realized of $725.00 Cdn. Only 2 items have not been paid for yet. And the night isn't over. I HATE that this happened on eBay!
Plat and Banana, I just might be able to up the cheque amount of you guys!! Or not.Â

So what is everyone wearing to the Grand Opening ceromony?
Formal?
Casual?
Clothing optional? :blinkie:
[/quote]
Can I vote for casual?
Like jeans with holes in the knees, flannel shirt with a button or two missing at navel level, socks with toe holes in them, running shoes that are discoloured and cracked sporting frayed laces...
Hey, that's the best of my wardrobe!!
[/quote]
I vote for the 3rd choice. Clothing optional would confirm for once and all whether Karen is really Ray.  :o
