As far as loco being "big bad moderator"...I haven't noticed any change in his reactions to posts, etc..He has always been the kind of guy to call it like he sees it and will let you know regardless of what anyone thinks; and I respect him for that.
As far as credibility goes....
I've dealt with both of them and they came through with their end of the deals.
loco was quick to ship, came through with a tracking number, etc. No problems whatsoever...would deal with him ANY day of the week.
I had a slight "issue" with the shipping from DUNEDEMON, but he did come through and was quick to correct the delay that we encountered.
In conclusion, the way I look at things is if you say you're going to do something, do it. Don't tell someone you're going to send them something on "x" day or time and not follow through with it; unless you've already contacted the person and worked things out for another time. Especially when dealing with things someone else has paid for, or things that someone else has been kind enough to "lend" you. Regardless of how busy anyone is, it only takes a couple of minutes to log on and let someone know if something's come up...and I've noticed in many cases if that's done then there never is any "problem". Maybe we should all learn from this incident and be clear and precise with the people we are dealing with in the future
On that note, I'll go crawl back into my hole now.
