..is what this whole situation boils down to.

"My interpretation of the email as it was posted was just that."

.....frankly, I wish either party would have picked up the phone and called the other party. ...don't they both live in Vegas?!?

Chuck's email looked to me more like advice than a threat. Rene took it as a threat, and put his interpretation of the email message here (rather than contacting him personally), in an internet equivalent of a neon sign, premeditated, intending to do real harm to Chuck's reputation. I can't defend Chuck's reaction, but I understand it. The whole thing never had to happen...

There have been mistakes made by both of these people, yet I only see one of them getting roasted for it. I see this as an injustice that should stop! NOW!!!

Sincerely,
