Getting 30+ daily doses of Ozstamps' (and his countless personalities') BS for the past six months is bad enough, but what I simply do not understand is how anyone can ever misconstrue what has been happening on these boards. I have concluded that Ozstamps does not belong in this community IMHO PERIOD.

For those that have really followed what is going on (and I realize that not everyone has read every Oz thread like I have) AND still support him because he helped them get a few thousand Hilton HHonors points, then all I can say is that these individuals have their priorities in the wrong place and that is really sad. Heck, if they want some extra points, then can have mine, but at least understand the story first.

If Ozstamps' infractions go unchecked, then real contributors will just leave FT for good. Personally, as a newly minted United Airlines 1K member, I would be very disappointed if PremEx, who has been the subject of personal attack from janejet, Ozstamps, and other Ozstamps aliases, decided that he had enough and left FT. And I am sure that the real beneficiaries of this community site (those who seek real knowledge and insight and not a few quick hotel points) will also be affected by such a loss.

For the record, I've met PremEx for a total of 5 seconds once and I have never met Ozstamps (although I have been the beneficiary of unsolicited emails from his Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde persona). However, I consider myself a fair judge of character. I am supporting PremEx, onefreeman, et al based on their personal track record on FT. I believe that this post represents my most negative commentary on Ozstamps to date. In the past, I deleted such posts before pressing the submit button, because I didn't want to be unfair. I wanted to afford Oz the same level of respect that I would want in such a situation, especially as some of his private e-mails seemed to indicate that he would "fess up" as he put it. However, as forgiving a person that I may be, I cannot forgive anyone who has committed real offenses and then still refuses to offer a sincere honest humble apology.

Spider, this Oz post was supposed to be an apology. Instead, he uses it to attack QuietLion and deny any wrongdoing, as he has always done in past confrontations (the only difference is that in the past, the community thought his behavior was more of a fluke than a real consistent pattern of abuse). He has no right to make any demands, and I do not think that QuietLion needs to dignify his query.

Simply put, the title of this thread should have been I'm sorry and please forgive me, not some bait-and-switch attack. Yes, it is difficult to admit that one is wrong, but when you are guilty, that is what you do!
