Apology

Firedragon_4

In the recent threads on CO I have been maligned and slandered by several individuals who have agendas of their own and champions and methodologies they wish to please.
This is America and as a veteran I respect their rights and prerogative to do that.

My only agenda is industry education and that includes combustion testing with CO if my industry wishes it to be so. I make my living from the heating industry specializing in Oilheat and although I am nobody’s minion I do aim to keep my clients happy.

Does that mean that I believe that the customer is always right, far from it, but he is the customer. That may also not be the right thing, but we all have our own rows to hoe and our own baggage to drag.

I no longer feel that I have to defend my reputation or writings from those that wish to defame me, accuse me of falsehoods and to bear false witness against me. I was caught up in a shameful spirit of destruction and malice in coming to the defense of my reputation, which some are trying to besmirch, and I am in fact guilty of ego inflation.

So, I will therefore retreat to fight another day.

In conclusion, my publications, articles and seminars are in print and state my position on these issues and were there long before many of these libelers pointed crooked fingers.

Finally, it was not my intent to offend anyone but merely to pay a young man a compliment. If that is no longer acceptable in this day and age than that is too bad.

If I did offend anyone including the host of this site then I truly am sorry for my words.

Warmest regards,
