OK, I think we've all heard enough on this subject.  I don't think that the posts that EVERYONE has seen over the past few days is what the group who originally put together this mailing list had in mind.


While those of you who use this forum to support your income, I don't believe that Tom C. is giving up large amounts of his spare time supporting this group to allow vendors to bash each other.  I also feel that it isn't a place to air your greivances if you think that some business gave you a raw deal.  That's what the Better Business Bureau and the People's Court is for.


Yeah, yeah, I know... no matter how hard you try to please everyone who walks through the doors of you business (even virtual doors), there will always be that one person who feels you gave them a raw deal and acts out in an effort to destroy your reputation.  Sh*t happens and life goes on.  Run an honest and fair business and one person blowing their horn will not be able to knock down the walls of your Jerhico.


Besides, didn't your mother's ever teach you that if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all.


However, I must commend folks like Ken Wilfey and David Mashall who, to my knowledge, have never allow themselves to be part of these bashing wars.


Maybe the combined group will have to decide if they really want to allow vendors to be a part of the list(?).  I mean we don't allow parties to spam the group with credit card and porn ads, right?  Why not ban all people trying to sell stuff?


I personally would hate to see that happen since you all are great resources of information to the amateurs out there (myself included).


And I apologise if you think I am going a bit overboard with my comments to the group, but I think that there are a lot of people on the list that feel the same why I do, but are unwilling to voice their opinions.


Can't we all just get along?
