If you own a bunch of SOE gear, that's cool. I work with a lot of guys with SOE gear. They also don't want to hear the truth, so you're not alone.
It's acceptable here too, within reasonable limits, and I said as much in my post. There's even a link to his negative feedback thread where he's been "outed" in this tacked thread at the top of the gear forum. What's not acceptable are threads with multiple pages of arguing over whether someone's present business practices outweigh his past failures or attacks on the credibility of members who support or denounce some other member's gear guru.
Feel free to read my posts in the feedback thread I linked or do some research in the archieves if you think I'm some Willis partisan who's trying to shield him from criticism. I'm pretty sure that after the lawsuit threats and such, John Willis and I are never going to be homeboys.
