[QUOTE="DJP, post: 2782468, member: 27964"] From what I have seen on various boards, a vendor has his own distinct forum seperate from the public/member forums. Obviously, this is where the vendor sells his wares, and members can enter to purchase and ask questions specific to the vendor's products and services. And perhaps even ask general questions, that when answered, is much appreciated. In my mind, when a vendor chooses to exit his forum and continously post on the member forums, he loses his status, and in essence becomes a member who is subject to praise.......and ridicule. With that being said, a site needs to protect it's vendors from frivilous crap as long as the vendor does not repeatedly wander onto the member forum and post. But more importantely, a site needs to protect it's membership from a vendor who has publically aquired a bad repuation. To do otherwise would be a disservice to the members. Most of us know about Dennis an the T-Bird controversy. I've read Dennis' explanation and it's fair to state that every story has two sides. Hiring lawyers probably exasperated the situation. I mean, a rational consumer knows to deal with the vendor if there is a problem first, before bringing in a 3rd party, without being told to do so. It would be prudent for vendors to do the same, eh? Everybody deserves a second chance. But unfortunately, after the T-Bird thing and as GMAN stated, the pattern continued. I know this as a fact, personally. I drove 3,000 miles round trip to have Dennis work on my car based on the one-sided posts that I had read back in late 2003. Had I known about the T-Bird thing, I would'nt have made the trip. I ended up with a car I was not happy with. I was pretty tame with my first post about Dennis and excluded other shit that I experienced with him. My car has been corrected and that's all that matters to me. I would not recommend him, and that is only my opinion. For those that support him, fine. Just don't cry about it. [/QUOTE]
