(...) Spin. Stop it. 'They' did no such thing as 'break a promise'. Fact--TLC had a limited quantity of Maersk Blue pellets and, with no contract with Maersk at the time, as stated, they were not going to get anymore Maersk Blue pellets to make more (...)

(...) You may be a man of your word but you have 'selective interpretation' down to a science. If you want to debate the facts, I'm all for it.
