Aero Leather Clothing trial update

[Big J]

Something here was familiar tonight. Sure enough, went into the kitchen and opened a can of Sardines - same smell.

What's more telling - the same Aero haters posting as disgruntled TFL members, offended at the lack of decorum, or the ones MIA? Maybe those that come from VLJ just to chime in as well?

All I know is that after reading this whole thread along with the Aero Trial notes, the suspected and outright supporters and detractors of Aero are more clear than ever before.

99% of any posts posted in this thread by those that are new members can likely be taken with huge grains of cloned NaCl...

I wonder where is Plumbline? He hijacked a thread I recently started just to point out Aero military jacket price rises. He turned the whole thread into a vituperative attack against Aero. Eventually it got so bad the thread was deleted.
Further, some of these posters popping up and attempting to shame others and agitating for the thread closure are actually doing the opposite.
They are just giving it more energy and life and keeping it at the top of the outerwear page.

Which, not unlike the Classifieds ad placed by a former member, the Bartenders wisely choose some leeway to allow the real personalities to be exposed. The beauty is that they do it all by themselves.
Me - I am and always have been an Aero/Calder fan since I joined. It was not difficult to see some of what was going on not only at the factory and new factories, but also by some members here (and other sites).
One of the reasons I mostly left here was the abundance of the anti-Aero trolls here. But I just left - I didn't announce it after telling everyone how to post.

Let 'em post. Best way to clear the brush off of the weasels in the fields.

I just want this nasty ness to stop I want everything to back to being nice for everyone involved

Really?
Just 'forget all about it' and 'be nice'?

I want the truth.
I unanswered questions answered.
I want people to stop posting lies about Aero Leather in other places.
I want people to not edit their web-pages to delete connections with Will Lauder.
I want to know who designed Alexander Leathers product range.
I want to know why the identity of Alexander Leathers designer is a secret.
I want to know why Will's wife married him after he fired her (after all, in court, it was claimed that incarcerating WL would have a negative economic impact on her. I'd have thought that getting fired would have had a pretty serious economic impact myself).
I want to know why Steve Toohey and Sandy Alexander didn't spring to Will's defense vigorously in court.
I want to know why there are so many Lounge members who wish the whole thing would go away and never be spoken of again.
I want to know why Lounge members who disagree with this thread keep coming back to read it, get their blood pressure up, comment at how offended they are, and then try to give us a telling off.

During the trial, we heard that a few people in the Moffat factory knew about the mislabelling. Did you know about it?

Perhaps a few posters should consider that many members here are so outraged because they too despised someone stinking up Aero (like the cigarette smoke example)...and then getting away with much of it even to this day. Otherwise rules were not enforced from someone who considered himself the top dawg. In fact it was he who was blowing smoke infecting all others around him and even world wide in total disregard of any who might dare disagree. I think that is why many commenting within this thread are so upset and passionate about someone who was placed in a position of confidence and proved only to regularly abuse that authority. He propped up Aero USA and allowed moneys to be stolen..and who knows..influenced that fiasco?
..and we could go over the whole Storse...AL entangled web,etc..etc. How much betrayal do you want..?? I'm not sure it would be much worse if he just gave the whole store away. (Ooops..looks like he got caught before he could 100% accomplish that). Yet we are the bad guys because some suggest we might be acting out of character in this thread over a traitor to many. Maybe it's because we do value decency that it is so upsetting to most of us.

none of us new

HT, You have peaked our curiosity. Rather, than continue with your vague and evasive comments, please take a moment and explain your connection to this. No here is accusing you of any wrongdoing. Rather, we just want the benefit of your knowledge and observations. Who is the "us" and "family" to which you repeatedly refer? What do you know that could shed some light on these events? Thanks in advance.

Do you think Will lied to you? Why did you leave?

The amount of knowledge it takes to:

1) Get a computer
2) Login and launch a web-browser.
3) Find this forum.
4) Register to this forum.
5) Confirm registration, login.
6) Find this thread
7) Reply in some vague, very ignorant-sounding fashion is frankly, beyond belief Sir/Madam.

Sorry, but if I gave my Mom - another self-proclaimed luddite - my laptop and asked her to replicate your behavior, she could not do it because she really is a luddite. I fear that you really are just posing as a person attempting to come off as sad and a bit dense in order to avoid flames, while at the same time, supporting your obvious side in this saga.

Not well done, and not entertaining either.

*Edit: Thank you Benny. A crowd of one, but I appreciate it.

I'm genuinely sorry that you and/or friends were duped by Lauder. I don't think the members here have been nasty in reference to employees who, like you, were unaware of what was occurring. On the other hand, the evidence suggests that some people may have known and/or conspired with Lauder. The members here have been understandably upset by the actions of said co-conspirators.

Were you a former employee of Aero, AL or both? What was Lauder's role in the formation and start-up of AL? Can you shed any light on how AL was able to introduce so many different jacket designs in such a short period of time?

I noticed the same thing regarding the trolls: they only appear in order to close down an Aero thread, usually by starting with a reasonable tone and then inserting really incendiary comments in the hopes of provoking something. This latest one's fun, though -- sounds like the voice from beyond the grave. Hey, wait, he's from Scotland, seems to keep getting interrupted, terrible spelling and grammar. What if last night in H.M.'s prison a certain...?

Well you've got to give us something better than just asking us to be nicer. Tell us why you think they didn't know. Tell us why so many people followed Will over to Alexander Leathers. Tell us why people didn't want Ken to come back. And tell us what role Will played in founding AL.

Butte, here is another bloke to welcome you back to the fold. Stay awhile! :amen:

Never mind. I thought you were serious but apparently you're not going to go beyond "be nice."
