Soaring Community Consumer Warning

What a bunch of crap. Some of you should consider playing violin music while writing these posts to amplify to intended emotional effect.

I simply stand (in this situation) with a past customer of Tim's who was apparently mistreated if what he claims is true (I don't even know him). I defend him from the attacks of Tim's friends in this thread. I personally believe there is some truth to his complaint against Tim's business practices.

I have no problem with Tim personally. I am not attacking his personally. I am disagreeing with his policy and with the way he "may" have treated this situation. I have said this repeatedly. I have a problem with how this particular incident has been handled and the continued lack of response to it. I also, if it is indeed the case, have a problem with his continued failure to update the terms conditions on the wings and wheels website which mention NOTHING ABOUT ANY EXCLUSIVITY REQUIREMENT IN ANY WAY AT ALL. Anyone who tries to imply that Tims site does state this requirement is either dishonest or simply dumb.

Some of you assume far too much about the situation as it stands today. We actually know very, very few facts at all. The only fact is that no such exclusivity condition exists on Wings and Wheels today.

We need to hear Tim's side of the story here. I think his past "customer" (who seems to have been removed from wings and wheels) deserves a public response to his complaint and/or apology.

All the debate and continuation of the thread is because so much doubt about the situation remains. That doubt exists becuase of Tim's decision not to address it in any way.

As far as my posts, all I have been doing is defending my points from attacks and making an argument for a response. You can attack me all you want. I find it truly amusing bordering on hilarious at times. It's the same thing about anyone who disagrees with the popular crowd here on RAS on any topic. Right or wrong. It is actually I who am personally attacked for not towing the line and letting this go.

If you want this thead to move on I suggest you stop defending Tim's apparent actions as inconsequential if they happened. This effort sounds to me like an admition (by proxy of course) without the audience having any real knowledge on the facts (and with no apology whatsoever, in fact the opposite of an apology). The accusation is serious. Second hand proxies do not count here. Let him make a statement on his W&W exclusivity policy (if it exists). Let him admit (apologize) or deny of the accusation and call the accuser a liar for posting here. Only Tim can defend himself from his accuser or chose to apologize. Only he can tell us if this policy exists now and if he plans to continue expecting those using W&W to not post their ad anywhere else but W&W. The only fact we have is that NOTHING ABOUT EXLUSIVITY POLICY EXISTS ON WINGS AND WHEELS WANT ADS.

Everything else is pure HEARSAY.

Taking the fifth is always a poor ongoing strategy IMO.
