Nice Ben. Sorry you feel that way. I just don't think it's right to trash the guy in public and then have a moderator make it sticky.

In a community such as this, public trust is the most important aspect. public attention to the lapse of trust is an acceptbale means IMHO

If the situation is as WeeWee describes, I don't have a problem with it. If the guy can't be trusted he's done this to himself.

1. This is a public forum, a deal was made in this public forum.
2. It seems to me that every attempt was made to remedy the situation before the step was taken.
3. I for one would want to know if someone I am selling to , or buying from is reliable, kind of like on ebay. Unfortunately we do not have a means of a rating system here as of yet.
4. I have made a transaction with Ben. It went extremely smoothly. I got my product, and Ben got his check in a few days. If it had been a transaction on ebay, Ben would have recieved positve feedback.
5. Ben was making everyone here aware to be cautious when buying, and selling things in the classifieds.
6. Scott if you felt what happened was wrong, even though you were not part of the transaction, you should have sent an email to John. He would have been very happy to deal with the situation. There was no need to start a post trashing someone else on the board.
7. Everyone have a nice couple of weeks, the fishing is about to turn on, and most of the drama on the boards will disappear.

I'm not a party to the transaction but from what I saw that was posted it was a private transaction with the only thing online was the advertisement.
I did send an email to John before I said anything on here. At least an hour before. That post bothered me alot. I believe it goes against what this site stands for. I didn't start this post to trash someone, I merely stated it was wrong. If you took it that way then maybe you should go back and review it. It was pretty generic...on purpose.
I have been told before to keep stuff off the board...and have. But a MODERATOR took the liberty of making this a sticky post which is part of what I have a problem with the post. The persons involved put personal feelings before the good of the site which I really think is wrong.
I'm not going to stick up for Mike, but want to say one thing here. Last year when I moved I got myself into some pretty big money problems which I'm just starting to dig myself out of. Because of this I had to pass up a few things which I had said I was going to do. Oh well so is the world...All I'm trying to say is sometimes people find themselves in a jam...chit happens. Sometimes too much to often. Maybe he forgot but got himself into a money problem similar to me. If you ever get yourself in those shoes where you don't know how you're going to get money to afford new shoes for your kid, to buy groceries next week, or to pay for simple things in life, you'd know what I was talking about.
I think we all learned something from a thread somewhere else at the end of December...Maybe some more than most. I just think this could have been handled differently and made the post to say that I thought it was wrong.
