Okay, guess my turn. Recasting is a touchy subject at the best of times, it\'s frowned upon pretty well universally in the hobby, just something you don\'t do. But, we all know it happens, all the time, with tons of different masks by lots of different makers. Some of whom have gone on to make a living making masks, more then a couple I know of actually. Some have been black listed, but more often then not, that\'s because they would not admit guilt, and accept responsibility. Now, what Bill did, as you guessed it, took a mask, and recast it right? Well, in a way. What he did, was take a Kirk, recast it, to make some Myers, not to sell on a site and make money, mostly for personal practise, fun, enjoyment. Not saying what he did wasn\'t wrong, but saying there\'s more then a black and white issue here. I don\'t know if selling them on ebay was the best move, that can look bad, but he wasn\'t popin em off to make some quick cash either. He fessed up right away, came clean, and is going to rectify the situation, what more could you want from him?
He\'s been one of my closest friends for years now, I know what he\'s about, and you all know me well enough to know I don\'t vouch for just anyone. He\'s not gonna be banned, that\'s pointless, he knows what he did, it was a mistake, forgive and forget, and move on.
