Bumhunter Accusation to Get Action?

FoxwoodsFiend called out Mad00house in this blog post.

He later recanted his accusation in this blog post. Here is a snippet to of the apology:

"Sorry for the harsh things I said about you, but it was purely in the context of trying to get action from you. I would like, especially, to rescind my disingenuous call out of you for being a "bumhunter." I have a few students who have told me you actually give them action and you've also played me before, so I give you props for being willing to take on regs and relatively tough competition."
