So your saying that it is proper (even though all forum vendor rules prohibit it) to PM a member in your thread like that? I take the stand that there is more than enough business around for all & there is no reason to stoop to this type of "business". It's no better than the big car dealers and their wars on TV.
I recognize his talents & have posted it many times, ever see him acknowledge my skills? I have never PM'd his customers to tell them not to do business with him like he has to us many times. (and I'm sure the ones that forward these to us are the minority as most would not want to get in the middle).
You want to see the PM's I have sent him asking him for a truce & to just do his thing & stop this crap? I do it to no other shop no matter if we get along or not (and I think if you call most any tuner shop in the country you will see we get along with most all of them) and all I have asked is fair treatment. Follow the rules as I do.
We had an issue a few years back with Anti Venom and Greg was man enough to meet with me and go over it & appologize and make peace....(well Rashelle was the olive branch so she gets most of the credit) and we have treated each other with respect since. Ask them about dealing with the same stuff we do.
When we sign on as a supporting vendor on a site we agree to not interfere with other vendors threads. We agree to not PM members with the type of messages he does. We agree to be "professional" on the boards both in threads & in PM's when it comes to other vendors, so why is it OK for him to operate this way?
I take pride in doing the best I can & also go out of my way to recognize the skills & talents of others (and praise them) even if they are competitors if they have earned it & I see the results of what they do. None of us are "the best there is" but most strive to be....so to have this constant low-life type of doing business with no heart or SOUL is beyond me. I don't do business this way & should not have to endure it.
What honor is there at the end of the day when you work this way instead of on the merits of what you yourself do in business & personal life.....where is the satisfaction in cutting others down to further yourself? How many of you on this small board have asked me about Jeremy and if he still tunes for us? What is my reply? He is a dang good tuner but I don't see eye to eye with him and some of the things he has done in the past, but I still give him credit. Anyone ever heard him respond in same?
This is far more serious than "business"....And as I first stated, I have met some great people here & made some close friends and have the utmost respect for most here....but I choose not to deal with this on yet another board as it is non-stop on the big ones I advertise on. Corvette Florida has been a community of people helpping each other & having good times, with common sense moderation. At least Grumpy is now on here as a regular as he does, and always has, been a wealth of information and is always ready to share instead of just self promote.
I gotta get some sleep, those that have been to the shop in the past few months know I have been pulling 12-14 hour plus days & 7 days a week.
Sorry for opening up something this negative, but no amount of hand slaps have slowed him down on any other board so I doubt it will be different here.
Thanks again all for the support....you have been some great customers & just plain fellow vette lovers.
