Ok bud, firstly did I say anything about posting a thread?
I have no reason to cause tension between tgtt and uksc, because all this them and us stuff is needless.
And at what point did I say you failed as admin, infact did I even mention your name?
I am fully aware you can not predict the future, however myself and Chris made it fully clear the horrendous extent to which dan was failing as a seller.
And I think you would agree that we got completely mauled at the time?
I really dont want this to get off topic as the people who have had the trouble with him are the only ones that matter.
If myself and Chris had been regulars on your site though, then I do feel that it initially would have been taken more seriously?
So I appologise if you thought I was taking a pop at you personally, as that was not the intention.
Friends?

You said an "I told you so was in order" - from that its safe to assume this would be via a thread.
you may not have directly stated that i personally failed as admin, but from your posts it could be taken that you were inferring that none of us took it seriously, that would include admin in "us", and me in "admin". but i take your point.
if this is the incident with Captain Starlet I believe at the time i was involved quite a bit with that situation - i certainly recall a number of PMs regarding a bad sales transaction. yes, you were both on our forum, but i counter that by saying that not all transactions with Idrees on UKSC have gone 100% smoothly and i dont think he will mind me saying so as its not a defamation of his character, simply an acknowledgement that not all transactiosn go smoothly, and he is VERY active, but this does not mean that he is a dodgey trader. therefore, the inference that i should pay more attention to negative reports from active members cannot always hold true. as admin i have to take each incident seperately. but yes i agree, at that time you guys were properly mauled, i dont question that.
i also agree that the "them and us" shit is unnecessary, i have worked for yrs with Jay to try to put a halt to it, and i dont permit it on UKSC when i see it.
as i said, i can only praise you for your actions here on TGTT with trying to help resolve this situation for those that Dan has wronged. that shows dedication as a member and as a friend to those on this and any other forum.
i simply wanted to acknowledge that although issues with dan were brought to light quite early on UKSC, I couldnt predict that it would develop into this catastrophe with Riko et al. and i feel its unfair to give UKSC a negative rap over it. yes his mates jumped to his defence, but to be fair, that can only be expected. as the situation got worse, so his friends got fewer and fewer. thats the nature of such things. i doubt he'd find too much support there now due to his actions, but at the time was perceived as an honest and upstanding member by the majority of our site, hence people reasily defending him. its understandable to be perfectly honest.
i didnt come on for an argument as i've been watching this on UKSC with Riko as well as here, but a UKSC voice was called for when we were named dude sorry.
