All,
I'm incredibly disappointed in the wanton few that would willfully attack and disrespect the vendors that contribute a vast portion of the funds required to keep this site in existence.
Most recently, the downright hostility directed at Cole Performance is absolutely unwarranted. They're a legitimate mail order performance company. The juvenile antics of walking into someone's shop for the sole purpose of telling them they suck or they're products do is absolutely assinine.
What you all need to realize is this. They have every right to market their product the way they see fit. You're more than welcome to disagree, not like their product, or heck, ignore them. What doesn't work is when they're just attacked incessently for no good reason.
Don't get me wrong, asking questions about a product you're genuinely interested in isn't a problem. If you don't like the answers you receive, move on. There's simply no reason to argue, berate or beat a vendor over the head. They don't need it and neither do I.
This isn't the first time it's happened, it's happened to Reinhart, Trilogy, SHM and others. I've had to do damage control for every one of them.
This is my notice to you, it stops now. If it doesn't cease immediately, I'll be removing accounts without further notice, I've had enough and so have the vendors.
Understand this. These companies keep this site up, without them, there's no site. So, if your interest is in seeing this site gone, then go ahead, keep chasing our supporting vendors away.
The owners of Cole Performance specifically are understandably upset, they're paying for a privilege to advertise, and are getting nothing but unrelenting bull**** from a select group of the membership at large. Either the product is suited to your needs or it isn't.
My personal apologies to all of our supporting vendors for the behavior of a select few.
:mad2: :fire:
PS - I'm not looking for opinions, I'm simply stating the way it's going to be. If you don't like it, I suggest you keep it to yourself.
An extremely disappointed,
