Without taking sides, upon a cursory review of this thread there certainly are two sides to this story. Both parties have made good points and by the same token bad judgements. This thread could continue for weeks and the end result will only be hurt feelings and/or egos. This matter if it is to continue needs to go to some sort of binding arbitration at best.
And for the future mikes98pacecar, it is not, "be governed accordingly", it is, "please be guided accordingly".
