@Bats_Galore I have sent you a PM to discuss further! Thank you for being understanding

Nice to see the error in the original post. I have nothing against IJC but felt the tone of the statement wasn't great.

[chrisbd]

And indeed I must say a big mea culpa.

Those who have seen me in the shop and met me will (hopefully) know I'm not an arrogant character.

I got over excited by these bats, which, like the rest of our Ghosts have been, I'm sure will be crackers.

I didn't mean to offend anyone by the tone of it - I think tone is very difficult to judge over a written form. Paul has decided to say what he wants to on here and I respect that and so wanted to follow it up with my own personal words of apologies to all those offended.

Well done Paul and very well said

It would be great if we could see some pictures of these please!

[chrisbd]

Paul has mandated no forum photos. He will send some if you get in touch directly.....

[03jaworf]

Oh ok, thanks.

I feel it is a shame that Paul feels he has to apologise for what Chris has said. In basic terms what Chris has said is 'you snooze, you lose'. A good lesson in life that.

Please let's not get all PC on here guys. A IJC sticker on the back of a bat is a good thing.

Did PC stand for Politically Correct or Paul Cole in the above?

I am sorry to open up this can of worms again.

After some thought, it seems that whilst I still welcome Paul's post, and think it was right something was said, I didn't like the original posts from Chris, and especially the tone as has already been gone over. However to me it does seem that Chris has been hung out to dry a bit here. The guy has been integral within the company for as long as I have been dealing with the company, with a good number of the videos (especially softs) been presented by him over that time and whilst I don't agree with some of what he says, it seems something of a character asassination within the apology. Not sure that is completely fair. If I had been working for a company for that long, I would expect a little more loyalty. Anyhow best of luck to them all.

I feel Chris has done a lot to promote IJC and his softs and especially spike reviews are some of the most informative and enjoyable reviews I have had the pleasure of watching. So much so that I almost purchased a pair of the new Adidas spikes, due to his review. Blaming everything on Chris seems a little bit unfair. This forum is not the easiest place to promote your company and I think Chris has done a good job of promoting IJC. Its is easy to get drawn into a battle of words on this forum and there are a few members that like to bate people in to doing so. Hopefully everything will be resolved.

People goof up. That's life. Think we should all respect Paul's post for what it is - an admission that they went a bit too far in what they said. Not easy to make an apology like he did in a public forum and I think we should just draw a line under it and move on. I'm looking forward to the next videos and we can all get back to discussing grains, ping and loose insoles.

I completely agree everyone makes mistakes and things can be worded better. But seems like Paul is making a scape goat out of Chris by throwing him under the bus. Then having a dig by saying what can you expect from a university student. Chris has worked a long side Paul for a long time and in my opinion he has done great work and now Amos has come along it seems three is a crowd.

 I agree. And then everyone happy that he was thrown to the wolves. 

Bats look great though and Ive always had great service from IJC.

I think we're all jumping at ghosts now. I'll Jedi you all now:

Stormtrooper: Let me see your identification.
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: [with a small wave of his hand] You don't need to see his identification.
Stormtrooper: We don't need to see his identification.
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren't the droids we're looking for.
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: He can go about his business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along... move along.
