1. Barry did in fact promote his business on the other site and he did have his business name in his signature. He continued doing this, knowing full well it was against the rules of the site. He would deny promoting his business in any way shape or form on the site when asked about it.Barry clearly and knowingly violated the rules and conditions on the other site.
This did rub me the wrong way for quite some time, that he he would use the site for his financial gain and not adhere to the rules about being a sponsor.
2. I guess i never got over the fact where Barry stuck his nose in a situation that was none of his business, and he made the public statement that one of the parties involved had NO integrity. He made it perfectly clear who he was talking about. That member is well respected by myself and i am sure many others here. To hear Barry say he had NO integrity just blew my mind.
The incident involved the sale, or the lack of a sale of a V8 Chopper.
Actions such as these do have a way of pissing some people off, and it did piss me off and i guess it still does.
Does this really consititute a step backwards for this site? Probably not... but i feel better getting it out of my system.
WHEW, that is the most i have posted in years

Thanks for replying. I don't want to and won't create an argument...just wanted to reply quickly and let this all be in the past.
As far as the 'free" advertising on the other site I know there were a couple mentions of it BUT honestly no one ever PM'd or otherwise really said anything about it. I was not a listed Boss Hoss dealer until April 2013 and at that time I signed up for a year of advertising on that site.
With respect to that V8 Chopper incident I believe I do know which one you are referring to. More partys than I stuck our noses into that one without knowing the full story BUT if that is what I stated about another member and was wrong then I was wrong to say it and need to apologize for that. ..not sure who the other member was but the apology applies to you also if you are on this Forum.
I hope we can put this all in the past...sounds like it might take a while but hopefully not.
Again..thanks
