Hey I want to apologize to
@Zx48k for my mean and rude post. It was out-of-line.
I wanted to convey that people have given Omar/Horacio a lot of time to work things out, and have been extremely patient with him. But I failed at saying that in a respectful way, and did not need to attack you for bringing up the point of giving him the benefit of the doubt, or being empathetic to a potential life issue he could be working through.
For my behavior, for what it's worth, I am sorry.
I have met Omar/Horacio in the past. We share the same social circles here in SoCal. I've even purchased gear from him before.
Even though I have not been personally ripped off, or strung along by him (our interactions have been friendly and nice), I have heard stories about him well before people like Dekken had dealings. It's only now that people are starting to speak out more online.
So if there are life issues that's causing him to not follow-through with his commitments, then it's either been going on for many years, or he is purposely ripping people off and will continue to do so since he's been able to get away with most of it. I would say that the benefit of doubt is well past-due.
