Seems like a bad car wreck around here sometimes.....horrible happenings....but you just have to watch!!
Seems as though some folks aren't taking heed. Mr. Wilson has already mentioned that these arguements could put the For Sale section in danger of being wiped out....yet folks still seem to feel the need to carry it on.....and they're willing to risk ruining it for the rest of us.
I say this - and it's just my opinion........state your case ONCE....then leave it to PMs, phone calls, and e-mails between the two parties to rectify the problems. All this back and forth stuff is gonna kill the boards...and all of us who come here to buy, sell, and share info will have to go elsewhere.
I'm NOT just talking about SA and Aaron, either.....I'm talkinga about ALL the fights that seem to spin up, and NEVER really go away.

i for one would like to see no arguments.. i understand that there will be disagreements.. but no reason to fight or call names.. i can see if you have a bad transaction.. sure.. post what happened.. but dont make 50 threads so everyone can argue..
i personally like this place and would hate to see it taken away...

I'm sorry. I want my issue resolved and to go away as much as anyone. However it is hard to let things die when you feel like you need to defend yourself against accusations that you are the reason things went badly.
I hope none of you ever have to deal with the problem I am going through.
Again, I apologize.

Now that everyone got the sticky buyer / seller transaction report,
IMO- They should make a sticky for poor workmanship / good workmanship also!
They are different in catogries! and i'm sure everyone would like to know who to trust with there cues.

regardless,,,,,,mr. wilson's "possible" solution is a bad overreaction to a situation that can be dealt with in a more thoughtful way.
1,,i think his idea for a gripe (or possibly even a free-for-all)forum is a good one because as out of hand as these fights are getting, some serve a purpose. i think people learned a lot from the original pain-sore thread.
2,,it would require better monitoring, ie. moving threads to where they're supposed to be posted. for instance, 10% of the threads at "main" don't belong there. i think people have the main forum bookmarked so they always post there, but i think all forum bookmarks should link back to the forum index.
in a related issue, the azb forums are bloated,,,and mr. wilson needs help. mike probably has many things going, and wtf is this third moderator we never hear from??!! since most people(like the moderators) have other things to do, imo there needs to be two more moderators to cover everything and assuage the heavy load on mr.wilson's shoulders.
i also think there's a feeding frenzy right now that will go away eventually,,,and ALL post whether thoughtful like cornerstone's or provoking serve to prolong the frenzy.

I think the key word that describes what is missing in most of these "problem" posts is "Respect".
Respect for the people you have the problem with, respect for the other posters who have to wade through them, but mostly respect for yourself.
If you have a problem with something you sold or payed for, just give the "facts". If you have to stretch the truth (or out and out lie) about the problem, then you have no business posting about it here because it must not REALLY be a problem if you have to lie about it.
And as we ALL know, lies don't last very long in here, too many people know too many people. The circle is not small in here.
So PLEASE do yourself (and us) a favor, if you have a problem, just give the facts. Chances are someone on here will be more than happy (and willing) to help you get it resolved.

Now that's something new.
On a serious note, I agree with the topic of this thread. I think for the most part everyone has respect for one another, but we could always use more. It should not be left up to the Moderators or Mike to filter through this site and help resolve things like this deal between SA and PP. "Respect" also includes no shilling, not having multiple other handles for the purpose of deceit, and simply not choosing to come on here and tell flat out lies. If you do, then you should be prepared to be called out on it.
AMEN, brothers and sisters, AMEN!!! Let's keep the WANTED/FORSALE postings for what they are and leave the dirty laundry out of this thread, AMEN!!! The rest should go joint Whiner's Anonomous where they all feel better after 12 stepping each other, GEEESHHHH!!!!!

Agreed, this is getting way out of hand, yea I understand people have problems, but this is WANTED/FOR SALE and NOT LETS START A BAD REP FOR THIS PERSON thread. Maybe a certain place for people who are having problems would be nice, but untill then KEEP this section WANTED/FOR SALE and WANTED/FOR SALE ONLY. People are gettin tired of coming on here reading this person done this this one done this, when it could be done in PM instead of having all the drama for people to read and then others to just keep adding fuel to the fire.
