Setting a shuttle rumor straight

[ed bell]

Original poster requested the thread be removed. Feel free to continue to discuss the issue if you like. In the future it would be better to avoid assuming the reasons that moderation actions are taken without knowing all the facts. The person in question actually asked that the thread not be deleted, but it was already moved.

Thanks Ed.

I am so confused

[JustaTouron]

This thread seems to be lacking some real substance.....

And I think the substance is very important.

As best as I can make out from what I have read. Cool AT Breeze was pulled over while possessing some illegal drugs which caused concern for the person he was shuttling. Causing concern regarding his own safety from the prespective of sobritety of the driver, his own ability to be transported to the trail and his own gear being searched or seized. There is post describing the sitution from the hikers perspective on another board. I do not have the link.

In general what one does on their own time is very much their own business. And if all CAB did was sell gear, I think there would be no reason to discuss any of this.

But, I feel that anyone who is considering using C.A.B.'s service as a cab ought know about the situtation and then can decide for himself/herself if they would perfer to use a different shuttle/mode of transporation.

I can feel the love.

Good, I am glad that you can understand that my post is about my concern and love for hikers and not wanting them to be in an uncomfortable or dangerous position of being driven by someone who may not be a safe mode of transportation.

Some people might misperceive this as something personal against CAB. It most clear is not. It is love of those who could be potentially harmed by his actions.

I wish him the best. I understand he is very good doing gear shakedowns for hikers. I would not hesitate to seek his advice and counsel in that area.

But those hikers who might be considering using him as transportation should know of this incident. If they choose to use him anyway that is their choice.

So are you making the assumption that he was under the influence at the time? If he was not, then he was guilty of nothing more than bad judgement. If you have proof of his being under the influence please fill us in.

If he was not under the influence then perhaps your grand love of all hikers and concern for their well being is misplaced.

Cool Breeze is a good man and I would not hesitate to use his services. At no time would I believe that he would put the safety of the people that he is shuttling at risk.

Thanks ED. I was not under the influence of anything at the time. Even the cop said he didn't think so. Touron needs to get a real life.

any drugs in your system...by law...is considered 'under the influence'! whether the usage took place an hour ago or 30 days ago it don't matter! maddog

Well Cool Breeze, I do know you and know what kind of person that you are and it chaps me that people have nothing better to do than get on here and try to smear someone's name.

Yeah Touron professes his care of hikers as the justification for running this up and down the site, but it seems that he really is interested in smearing you. Seems to me that he has a personal agenda with you.

So was there drugs in his system? If not or you don't know if there was then you are doing nothing but spreading rumor and innuendo. If there had been do you think he would have been charged? Which he wasn't.

I don't if he was under the influence or not. The hiker said he had a concern he might have been. Even if not under the influence, he placed the hiker at risk of being involved in a lengthy problem had the cop chosen to arrest CAB.

You are free to use his services and to vouch for him. That may sway some to use his services despite his poor judgement. Readers of WB knowing both of the incident along with the vouching of many may very well choose to use his services.

But potential riders should know about what happened and then make an individual choice based both on what happened and others recommendations.

why possess drugs and not use them? seriously? i guess he was just holding them for a friend! maddog

Cool Breeze,

Id sign up for a shuttle from you anytime!

[Lion King]

This makes me want a ride more.

I wish I had a snappy response to Justa Touron and/or droptobenze. Everything I think of drops me down to a level I don't want to go to and would probably be deleted. Guess I will have to stick to "I would shuttle with Cool AT Breeze anytime without hesitation."

[generoll]

Touron reminds me of those sanctimonious people you see driving around with those "Honk if you Love Jesus" bumper stickers. I tried that once at a traffic light and got a most unChristlike finger gesture in response.

Reporting it and making the statement that people should use others as you did here "Personally, I would use someone other than Cool AT Breeze given his recent run in with the law and his possession of illegal drugs while transporting a hiker on a recent shuttle run" are not the same thing.

What makes you think that you should make that statement?

[TD55]

Darn it! Thats the kind of snappy response I was looking for.
