That is outrageous.
This from GMCNet.org, the "home" and genesis of this forum:
*GMCnet* exists for the purpose of exchanging information and promoting
discussion about the motorhomes manufactured by General Motors Corporation(GMC)
from 1973 to 1978. Discussion about all aspects of the GMC Motorhome and
the mutual interests of their owners is encouraged.
I see nothing in there about promoting the commercial interests of anyone,
nor any restriction on the sharing of information or experiences with
anyone's GMC.
Most of us recognize the importance of supporting those who support us.
But, we do not need that imperative pounded into us, especially by the
beneficiaries of our business. And it does neither you, nor anyone else,
any good to antagonize us by ridiculing anyone, especially someone who
generously tries to help other GMCers. Without people like Alex, many GMC
owners would quickly become former-GMCers, and the community would more
surely shrivel than if there was no GMC Coop. Especially when, as you
admit, you cater to those who have the wherewithall to pay for whatever
they want/need done. And you can't even argue self-defense: I've read
EVERY posting to GMCNet for months without ever seeing a comment that "I
came away from GMC Coop with an empty wallet and sorry steering and Alex
fixed their screw-ups." Never seen it. Have you? Or do you have a guilty
conscience?
I hope no one is going to contribute their complaints about anyone, because
this is not the place for that -- our policy HERE should be, "If you can't
say something good, don't say anything." Now if someone opens a complaint
forum, I'm sure there would be a deluge of them against EVERYONE.
Jim, you owe all of us, but especially Alex, a SINCERE apology for that
unwarranted tirade.
