To everyone concerned. I appologize for making unfounded accusations publicly without giving a chance for a fair retort. I let a bad day that I had personally allow me to be overly sensitive to something that I find annoying.
First off... in retrospect HBK is most likely NOT a duplicate instance of Rorschach. HBK spends enough personal energy dragging things out on his own without resorting to the additional efforts of making up a alter ego for the sole purpose of attacking Vicious.
HBK, I'm sorry for any implied accusations in my previous post.
There is still a problem here. We have been having WAY TOO MANY flame wars lately. Vicious has been involved in almost all of them but that is his nature. In general, he has been fairly eloquent in his defence and I've never seen him proven to be a liar. He has been a bit hot headed at times which opens him up to flame bait and makes him look bad.
This brings me to his attackers and I'm not going to name names here. I request that you cease and desist with your attacks on our members. If you have an issue, present the facts and how those facts have affected your judgement.
In the past I've said that locking a thread is NOT a good way to settle a dispute. Against that good judgement I locked this thread yesterday. Today I acknowledge that bad judgement and reopen this thread to continue this discussion.
I ask all of you to look back at your posts and ask yourself if all of them were constructive and added something to the forum. It's ok to mess up once in a while. I'm fortunate enough to have people help me realize when I've messed up (a LOT of people to help with that) so I can do my best to remedy my blunders. If you've said something that you might not be entirely proud of, go ahead and appologize. My experience shows that people will only think better of it (unless every second post is an appology... then you've got other issues).

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
