There will be zero consideration given for anyone whom I catch in a bold faced lie. None.

I didn't say it wasn't an emotional response...but you and Brandon are debating whether or not someone should be able to sell things if they're not vendors. That isn't the issue at hand is what I'm saying.

I'd miss you, Maj...

Yeah, I suppose I could do a favor and ask Ron A to off you...it'd be a glorious e-death.

Make no mistake I don't care what happens here. I'd fight the same position for any of you all.
While we try to be democratic about things (believe me, there are situations where we are), if an Admin (esp. Robb) makes a call, it is usually final.

If indeed Sharkie did lie to Robb, well, hell hath no fury like an Admin scorned.

Nah.. Yummy and S are close.. they are from the windy city.

It's just... Indian and Chinese/TW blood don't mix. One wants a deal, the other won't budge.

You're saying he got banned because he lied. Correct?

What was the lie? How is that not relevant?

I'm saying that your and Brandon's defending the ability to sell a product or service using a forum as an avenue based on whether or not you're a vendor is unrelated to this particular instance where someone was banned for being a liar and not respecting authority.

Well, it's all good, man...Chad and I aren't on going there on Thanksgiving week!

I agree with their views on being a vendor or not...

I'm just saying this is one of those instances where someone that thought he could lie or talk or falsly promise his way out of every circumstance and thought he was smarter than everyone and it just finally caught up with him.

I honestly do hope he heeds some of the opinions and wisdom that was shared with him otherwise he'll have a very long and difficult life.

Jeremy, I gotta mention, I have never seen anyone use vocabulary to their benefit like you do (do take it as a complement)...

we have had our friendly banter and after the back and forth, its very unclear as to why it started because you flex the situation in your favor (again am complementing you)....

if I ever plan on doing my MBA, I know who is going to write my SOP

LOL...Anil, I know what you mean. Honestly, the guy is on the forums or not, no skin off my back. The ONLY time I personally came down on him in reference to me is when he was using my photos and ideas to sell modifying red tail lights.

OMG why is this so hard to understand. Lol.

First let me say I'm trying to convey my thoughts here with the utmost respect. I'm not trying to get into a fight nor am I attempting to make this a democracy to try and appeal the decision. I just want to know why. I'd like to think my fate here, or anyone elses for that matter, is not so easily dismissed.

Muffinman (Brandon?) and I basically said the same thing. He just expounded his thoughts a little better than I did.

We know what the lie was. At least, via Astro's own words, Aaron lied about selling his product in this community. And being a non-vendor he is not allowed to do so. Where has Aaron been selling his product here? What Muffinman elaborated on, and I completely agree, is how both statuses are treated, their definition, their limits, and the 'grey' area that exsists.

Saying I sell this on facebook or on a website and people finding you on this site and asking do you sell X and you say yes I sell X is NOT USING THIS SITE TO SELL SHIT.
What I was saying is exactly that. Although, I haven't even seen that breach being made. I haven't seen a single Domed Decalz thread, link, or advertisement on this site. I'm sure if Aaron has sold any decals from this site, that business came from 1) word of mouth 2) searching old posts (did someone go through all of Aarons posts and delete every instance of DomedDecalz? I doubt it. Edit: I checked, nope.).

But what changed? All I can see is someone coming here to vent issues about a product he found himself. The poster even said, in his first few words, that he got them from "the site". Not this site, Aaron's site. He just came here to complain. Is that an infraction? I don't think so.

Google: 'Acura TL decal' and put it any way you want to. You can find Aaron's site pretty quick. I'm sure, if I were still part of the Facebook groups, I could find it that way too. Is it Aaron's fault that is a close community and that people cross pollinate between channels? Again, I don't think so.

So one more time, he got banned for lying about selling decals on this site while not being a vendor. Where did he sell them on this site to make that a lie? Yes, he still sells them and that has nothing to do with Acurazine.

He just pissed the wrong guy off, bottom line. That's what I was getting at, but I do understand your points.

Either way, I'm about 1 hour away from 10 days away from work. After that, I'll likely be living in a new crib and will probably have crabs. I'm excite!
