Re: [Peugeot-L] Bob Countess

I'm the butthole who first wrote to expose Countess's obnoxious views. I had at least a half dozen pretty supportive messages from other members and no hate mail. One correspondent had a pretty convincing story about a bad deal on a car he bought sight unseen from Countess based on Countess's description. Countess reported it was less engine but when it arrived it had no transmission either. The photo showed alloy wheels. It showed up with steel rims. A little more convincing than many customer complaints where its a question of 'excellent' condition or 'good' condition, etc....

I've been festering about Countess on and off since my rant three weeks ago. What I've fixated on now is that he used to be a military chaplain. I now work for the DoD and it has inspired a new appreciation in me for our men and women in uniform. To think of them being ministered to by a holocaust revisionist makes me feel like throwing up. I can only hope he came to those views after he got out of the military.

I thank Ken for speaking up and I apologize to the membership for my off-topic rant against a twisted individual who somehow endeared himself to some of you.
