I would have loved for this thread to have played itself out by now, but I can't let this one go by... sorry.
First of all John, I know firsthand what an enthusiast ekool is, both from conversations we have had about cars/mods, as well as his generous support of member's projects and major events, including one that I organized with my partner, fatchance.
As a Moderator of 9 of ekool's sites, and an 'early' member on many of them, I can tell you that you are wrong in your assessment of his order of priorities. When ekools' forums are first introduced, he does not use a supporting vendors program. The forums are allowed to grow until they are of such a size that the potential customer base will make a vendor relationship mutually beneficial. He gradually phases in vendors that are eager to make the leap and pay for the privilege BEFORE official vendor rules are put into place and fees become a requirement. You, of ALL people should know this John, since you are
NOT a supporting vendor at
www.cherokeesrt8.com, which is where this disagreement occurred, and where you enjoyed a
free ride in promoting your business and projects... that is, until you decided you didn't like "the way you were being treated".
By now, you should be quite accustomed to the type of feedback you received, and ekool has nothing to do with the fact that you received it. Nor would his willingness to appease you by censoring it make it go away. You are a product of your own making, and now that we are in the age of the internet the world has become a much smaller place. The character to make lemonade from the lemons of your past will eventually turn things around for you. You've made progress, but your 'Lemonade' could use a lot more sugar...
