Blake, I'm not the one that made it public. Your whole tone was that I was ripping you off. Here's what you wrote.
Tell me that you aren't questioning my integrity.
"Just as long as he keeps his current customers happy as well. Especially those that have already returned "something"
after mutually agreeing on terms of refund. Hope he's not too busy for that.....just haven't heard from him since I sent it
back....may be worried for nothing....we'll see. "
This is so negative. You shouldn't of went public with this crap. Worried? What for? You are actually worried about
my well being? I doubt it. You were worried I stiffed you and then you post that I stiffed you on parts from your kit.
You had the kit for 2 years without putting it in. The contents have changed a lot and for all I know you screwed around
with the parts, fumbling around with them for 2 years and lost some. That's what I'd say if I were you but I didn't
question it and sent you the parts even after you blasted me on the list. You weren't shorted any steels either. Back
then ALTO expected you to use a stock steel that road up against the cushion springs but they got so many questions
about it from people that didn't know any better that they just through in the extra steels and charged a little more for the
kits. Again, you blasted me. Nice try you say? At what? You think I am constantly intending something I am not.
That says more about your character than mine. You offered to pay some money for the parts but in the middle of all
this you accused me of trying to sell code for chips to fix the shudder problem some people had and that I was too self
important to help you when it wasn't that at all, just like I said. We agreed to talk at a later date when the conversation
became more civil. Obviously that day never came. And again I said this and didn't accuse you of stiffing me. If you
read my post you'll see that I said this very thing and was commenting on your propensity to flame me. I am very busy
building transmissions and don't even have time to put one of my trannies in my truck to test my code and you accuse me
of dis'ing you. Again, more of a commentary of your character, not mine. Then on this TC. You messed your pump up
when you rebuilt your tranny because you didn't follow instructions. Did you ever thing that could of damaged the TC. I
think so and the other things you had problems with are unique to you so don't try to reflect that on me. If there was
problems with the parts, I'd know about it.
I hate even talking on the board because of this junk. I wouldn't of posted if I didn't feel I needed to defend myself. I never have questioned your integrity on not paying for parts. Read carefully and you would of seen that. I was just commenting on your quick to judge and that I didn't and I was being casual about money that you were offering to pay. We should just quit communicating altogether. We obviously can't talk to one another without totally misunderstanding what the other is saying. I thought we had a great relationship in the past years and the way it fell apart just dumbfounds me. I couldn't prevent it from happening again if I had it to do over again. I went way out on a limb to try making you happy and I never could. Blake, I cared about you and your personal life and your adventures with own personal hell truck. I still do but I just don't understand you at all and you me. I was hoping to see you at Nats and talk to you plus I had cash which I was going to give you instead. My checkbook was in the pile of stuff I forgot to bring. I also wanted to talk to you and try figuring you out and how to talk to you. I don't think either of us wants to flame back and forth. I get all messed up when I feel like HERE WE GO AGAIN. As you can see, I have basically been transparent on the board anymore because of stuff like this. I work way too hard to have my intent questioned. I strive to make EVERYONE happy. I am mostly successful too. Most every customer turns into a good friend because of the way we talk on the phone or through e-mail and give them lots of customer service, not because I have to, but because I feel like we are a team. Nothing makes me happier than a happy customer. That's why it was so hard dealing with you because no matter what I did, you weren't and I couldn't do anything about it. Heck, I feel I could of giving you $5000 and you still wouldn't of been happy. I'm at a loss to figure you out.
Sorry for this crap again but I needed to clear some things up.
Oh yeah, The Stryper Tour was grand. Right up to the part they started handling serpents and talking in a strange tongue and trying to cast out my demons :wink:
