I am writing to the members of Mercury Marauder.Net, I joined this website in 2003 when Logan owned the web site; I sold the first high-performance chip ever made for the Mercury marauder on this website. Over the years I've had dozens of items made or manufactured for this car. I have made hundreds of friends here and I will miss this site. After seeing what's taken place over the last week I will not stand by and watch the site be tore down by a few people. Mary, Dan, Mike, and Bob, all have full-time jobs, this website is a hobby for them, and at one time it was fun, it's not a full-time job, but over the last week they all have been put through hell in trying to moderate the site.
They have been treated with disrespect they've been called names, because they've have tried to do what is right and moderate this website with some impartiality trying to look at both sides, then they were accused of siding with me which has never been the case, I have donated thousands of dollars in product to this site for its many past events since I was a large vendor I did this for the good of the site and nothing more treatment.
I have had many good reviews as well as some bad ones; the good are far more than the other. I have far more happy customers than I do that are not. I have been chastised if I spoke out of place by the moderators. I have made mistakes but I have tried to correct them.
This past week’s chaos I am sad to say is because of me. I have been the main cause of this because of the post in the vendor reviews forum the customer posted his review and I responded. And I will work this out with him. In case some of you wonder, I was the one that suggested the start of the vendors review; it allows for you the customer, to post your satisfaction or dissatisfaction of vendors on this board.
It was designed that way so that the vendor and customer can explain what took place in the case of dissatisfaction. And it keeps the post to a civil tone, not name calling and forcing the thread to be locked or deleted. But as many of us have seen over the past years there are always a few that do their very best to pour gasoline on a fire. So this week several tried to start there own threads pertaining to the vendor review in open forums and that does nothing but disrupt the whole website, forcing the moderators to lock or delete threads Then these same people call foul this is freedom of speech.
I have asked Mary to remove me as a vendor from the site, and I am doing this for the good of the site, not because of the few that have routinely tried there best to get a rise out of me.Mary, Dan, Mike, and Bob I am sorry for what you have been through this week.
I want to thank the dozens of members that have called me this week for there support, I want to thank the thousands of fully satisfied customers I have, and letting those members know I will continue to support any thing I have sold, and will continue to make new products for this car, and my web site is current I will focus on that, I also need to let members know all there orders are current and that I can be contacted by phone this is only fair to the members that are still placing daily orders. And I will post my projects on my web site; I wish every one a safe holiday season. My web site has my email I will not receive email or PM’s from this site after today.
