I have no knowledge of any of the emails that were or were not sent, and have avoided this discussion due to a lot of emotive posts (not pointing the finger at anyone).
I 100% agree with Pinnies4me's comments, in that while there have been issues (that spacies has acknowledged), i think some of the comments were a bit harsh - that said, it was not my $$$ that was passed on.
I think spacies has conducted himself very commendably in his replies to this thread - they are apologetic, acknowledging mistakes were made, and he has not 'fired up' in response to criticisms towards him.
I think he deserves credit for that, along with the excellent work i have seen examples of.
