Hi. This is Mark from Trials.
I really really don't want to be involved in this at all, but this has escalated to a point where I feel like I should say something.
First of all, once again, I had nothing to do with this whole Caparison situation. In fact, all of that went down before Remy was in our band or before any of us had even met him. I take no sides in this conflict. So as you can imagine, I was mildly irritated when this guy kept writing my band's MySpace, asking me to relay messages to Remy. I am not Remy's secretary. Even still, I mentioned it to him. If he hasn't contacted you since then, that's between you and him.
The deal with the flyer on Myspace last night: That was me, not Remy. I mistook 4nkam for the individual who was harassing me on this forum yesterday (there's another thread on that elsewhere). It was late at night, and I assumed that someone being that much of an asshole could only be the guy who bought the guitar. I was apparently mistaken about that, and for that I sincerely apologize.
To the people considering coming to Chicago and "kick us all in the nuts," keep in mind that Remy does not live here. If you come here looking to kick our asses, you will find three people who have nothing to do with this at all. I could also tell you about how we have friends and relatives in the Chicago police dept., and how it's a bad idea to piss off Chicago cops. But I'd rather keep this from escalating any further -- it's already gotten ridiculous.
Long story short: if anyone feels like they've been ripped off, by all means take it up with PayPal and/or the law. If you feel like they're slacking, bother the shit out of them until they settle the matter. But kicking someone's ass is not the answer, especially not kicking MY ass, because I don't have your money.
