    • Until you posted I had zero knowledge of the guy other than he is another gun death statistic. My very basic search left me a bit baffled as you’re right, I would class you as a kind decent human being, but the main headlines for this guy are views that are incredibly right wing, intolerant and quite frankly dangerous. The way you posted made me think that I was missing something, but I’ve not found anything different, so if I’m missing something please tell me?  If politically that’s what you side with that’s fine, I’m not going to persuade to become a lefty liberal. I can understand how you might in that scenario respect someone like that - to get in the position they were, and promote the things they believe in, sure. But I just don’t understand how you can call any of those behaviours nice. Strong - sure.  Hardlined yes. Like did he also do a shit load of charity or something?  So to be honest I still don’t understand your original post and still feel like I’m missing something.  
    • Trialtech are still very much a thing… but stock levels are pretty low. Trialtech / Inspired had a stand at The Malverns Classic back in August so still have a presence 😊
    • no, I can lead a horse to water but I can’t make it drink. It’s not my job nor need to make you change your mind. I just know that I saw plenty of evidence for me to come to my conclusion. I’d like to think that I’m considered a kind decent human and if someone like me can see good in Charlie then perhaps he’s not the monster some people would have you believe he is.    
    • I think it was the "genuinely nice human" part that shocked people in to replying. You could agree with some or all of his opinions, but I don't really think he sat in the "nice" category. Getting shot for an opinion is crazy though, nobody deserves that.
    • Please just tell me one thing decent about him.  It would be nice to think everyone has good qualities, alongside let’s say other stuff.    Edit: I guess my post doesn’t make it clear that is what I was after! Like Mike said, just a bit shocking given the headline features of the guy.
