When Luke Jr. asked for a BF1 I gave him the same speech. No I wouldn't ever think about putting a device in your hand due to your lack of integrity with the whole BFL fiasco. Open Source Software developers and Open Source projects in general need to remain neutral but these guys are not playing that way. CKolivas is neutral and we need more people like that.
I wasn't going to say anything in public, but since you see fit to bring it up...
While I respect your decision not to provide me with a device, I think you have some grossly inaccurate views of at least myself.
It's true that I have been working with Butterfly Labs the longest, but that is a given considering they were the first to market with FPGAs.
I think there are many people who can acknowledge that I have gone an extra mile in remaining vendor-neutral.
The Bet.
The only bet I've had any significant involvement in, was only because I was dragged into it because I posted about receiving my first SC device, nearly a year after having ordered it.
I don't see how you can blame me because a bunch of people who lost a bet got upset that the website doing it called a draw.

P.S. I don't really want to hijack your thread. Feel free to continue in PM, or ask a mod to split it to another thread if you prefer to keep it public-but-not-here.

Seems like you got dragged into it again... look before you leap.

The Bet. That unit you "received" never left the building and you were not the "average" customer were you? That to me was indicative of a lapse in moral judgement.

I am all for people changing and working with the community to show they are reformed Luke Jr. but given that incident why would anyone give you a pass now?
