"when the guy saw me looking at them , he and the 2 guys he was showing them eo turned and walked away"

What? The inlays walked out of the room with the guys, or the table owner/attendant took them somewhere, or you walked away? You aren't making any sense with that statement.

"if you think not letting whalen in the conv. will stop him and others like him and chippers from useing him, you are dead wrong"

I neither said nor implied that. What I in effect said was, the more David is treated like a leper, the more likely he will be less likely to give honest answers to any and every question posed to him.

"as for being pro active, well, bob, thats what im trying to do here,not withstanding your single minded, blinders on, flame throwing."

There was nothing in my post that could be construed to be single minded, blinders on, or flame throwing. Your's is the torch that is lit, not mine.
