Let’s back up a second here:
Alan posted that the latest HORSEPOWER release doesn’t seem that popular
I looked in Commerce Corner, saw there were a total of 9 bottles being offered, plus Alan was offering his up as well
I asked him if 9 bottles plus his allocation equaled not that popular, and if he was trying to draw attention to his offer (so that he could stay on the list, as he has since admitted to).
Alan got all up in arms, and went off on my attitude (who is attacking whom, William with symbols in his last name??)
I responded that he seemed to be singling out Horsepower specifically, and if he meant this as a general comment, why wasn’t the topic titled that way? You will note that most of the responses were also directed specifically at/about Horsepower (Arnold being the exception).
Whether he wants to admit it or not, Alan has a habit of accusing wineries of a variety of crimes/slights. I was well aware of this, so no William, I did not go back and research his history in Commerce Corner. I did go back and check to make sure I had the right names of the wineries Alan had accused. Those winery names are posted above. While checking those posts, I discovered that Alan had also put his Horsepower allocation up the year before. I noted that to show that Alan didn’t suddenly find the latest release unpopular - he had already gone there.
Frankly, I don’t really care what Alan does or doesn’t do in Commerce Corner. Others have had issues with some of his practices there, and have posted to that affect.
The only points I was trying to make was: 1) The Horsepower offer wasn’t “flooding” Commerce Corner; 2) If he meant his post as a general theme, why single out Horsepower. It’s really that simple.
Alan chose to make this personal. He also has a history of spewing vitriol. I will not be heartbroken if our paths never cross, believe it or not.
