Graham's only "issue" is having called Bass when he'd had a "couple".
That does not mean he has an alcohol problem.  We've all enjoyed
"hoisting a few" at times had and more than a few have had a "snoot
full" now and then.  Graham's mistake was two-fold.  He admitted to
having had a few before posting into the Group and he called Bass a
couple of times when he was feeling "in the Pink".  Many here objected
to his trying to post "attachments" into Group and responded with
derogatory comments when he posted he'd "had a couple".  I've spoken
with him on more than a few occasions and I can assure you he is *not* a
drunk.  I have (to my misfortune) dealt with an individual that was
fighting this particular demon and Graham does not fit the profile.  The
individual (let's call him "Bob") was a valued employee who fell off
"the wagon" when his son was killed in a motorcycle accident.  We all
pulled together and were able to pull him back from the brink.  I'm sure
Bass (and more than a few here) would have fired his ass (from the
comments made here).

He has "the right", yes.  He doesn't have "the right" to post libelous
statements, outright lies, and deliberately misleading remarks.  He also
doesn't have the right to threaten an individual's livelihood.  Bass is
a rotten, miserable, mean spirited piece of shit.  He deliberately filed
a false complaint with Graham's former employer in a bid to get him
fired.  Graham forwarded copies of everything Bass emailed his boss to
me and I can tell you that what Bass did went way beyond "taking the
gloves off".  The fact that he continues to spew the same lie (that
Graham used his employers resources to perform an illegal credit check
on Bass) is also way beyond "taking the gloves off".  Graham has *never*
gone "real life" with Bass *to this day*.  Bass "claims" of Graham and I
are behind the "complaints" filed at the BBB website.  This is also an
outright lie.  His "claims" of my calling his suppliers in an attempt to
"hurt his business" are equally outrageous.  I did no such thing.  Will
he ever "own up" as Tom has done?  He isn't man enough.

Watch and see what happens when he goes to Brazil for a few months and
stops posting here for awhile.  I guarantee that on his return, the very
first time he posts he'll make some reference to Jim (Alarminex) or me
followed shortly by more references to "Cracker", and then he'll call
someone a "liar" that will start the merry-go-round all over again.

I sincerely doubt Bass prays (or is even a Christian).

Bass' life is "perfect".  Graham's not doing at all bad either.  You,
OTOH, are full of shit.  I'll pray for you.  :-)

Ah, yes...  The "Irish".  That often conflicts with the "Swedish" and
the "German" in me...
