I wonder who he is billing for all the time he is on AR?

22wrf, settle down a little bit and separate your personal feelings from the issue at hand. Nobody is questioning the product or the people. There are a lot of good folks out there who make a good product who are lousy business people. My Dad was one of those folks. It is possible to defend the person and not the business practice. Yes there is increased competition and people are spending less money but these issues go back further than both. With some business help perhaps there is a profitable future.

Your point is well taken. However, there is a rather large difference.

In that particular case I was attempting to protect others from being harmed, and plainly said so right from the begining.

Here, I am trying to help two sides work out a problem, and at the same time trying to prevent a friend from being harmed.

I am sure you understand that. Isn't this your post?

You. By the way, did you kiss Katiesgun's ass yet? How was it for you?

A bit nonstandard I agree, but whether so or not is irrelvant to the discussion at hand.

Does such power exist?

This thread mirrors exactly issues customers faced with reliable and timely supply of Blackburn Bottom metal some 20yrs ago.
When one smith I know eventually recieved his long overdue order of BBBM units, he faced double frustration, cause they were found to be f_cked up and had to be sent back, followed by another long wait for the correct stuff.

Yea, and alot of people had to have their Toyotas fixed last year. Big f_cking deal.
That was then, this is now. Shit happens. Its what becomes of it that counts.

Got your goat Kevin and the only way you can respond is to get in the gutter. I'm enjoying you making more of a ASS out of yourself.

And I am enjoying watching you making an ASS out of yourself. Kevin

Kevin, apparently you're in a minority of one on THIS one.

Might as well start calling yourself Cleo 'cause you're sure The Queen of Denial!

Mr Steele:

When this thread began, I offered to help. I then made a call because the poster said he couldn't communicate. The call was successful. The other person communicated here on the thread. I have since made another call. I believe the problem will be worked out to the Poster's satisfaction.

In addition, I took the opportunity to stick up for friends. Perhaps some may not understand that. Many judge a "friend" by what the "friend" does for them. I judge a friend by how I feel about them.

For sure, most who have posted here didn't do anything to aid in the original problem. Instead, they did what they always do, which is to make ad hominem arguments, mostly to look cute to the other people making the same arguments (ad populum arguments). They are the ones that truly make an ass of themselves.

If I understand correctly, you are wrong in your characterization that I am in "denial". If you read my response to Red's post you would have seen that I wholeheartedly agreed that my friends do not conduct their business using best business practices.

Will having to deal with all of this BS be worth it? If Katiesguns gets his parts it will.

Nevertheless, thank you for the advice.

Cleo
