Thanks for the reply, Steptoe, no I don't think you should have done it, even for the best motives, it does put doubt in people's minds about the impartiality of the site towards certain members.
Enough said, end of thread,let's move on!
no lets not move on quite yet...
I find you actions on Steptoe's threads despicable... you seem to want to besmirch and undermined Steptoe's and others good name for some reason.
you posted an ad for another supplier into steptoe's original thread with
but you gave no idea of prices for BMW's... if you used them before you would surely have know there BMW disc prices so why not post them... if you're being so
helpful
also you said
A number of alternative suppliers were posted by members,these alternative suppliers being cheaper
Implying that there was more than one alternative BMW disc posted in the deleted thread and that these others were all cheaper than Steptoe's.
please state these number of alternative suppliers and there cheaper prices on stainless discs for GS's then.
(it's time to back your posts up with facts for a change, I know yours was the only other supplier mentioned in the thread)
In a different thread you have when others asked about a stainless kit and were pointed towards Steptoe
then posted
Motobins, amongst others, do the kits, they are more price wise, but all the ugly manufacturer's lettering has been removed, you get what you pay for!
IMO another thinly veiled attempt at undermining Steptoe's product... even though Steptoe's was approximately £120 less
If you had come up with a cheaper or comparable kit with the same or better specs why didn't you?
as Le Singe..You were telling us all how you spec A4 when you order from Apex in yet another thread about stainless.... if you could do all this and were so concerned about fellow GS'ers getting a good deal... why didn't you come up with a kit and sell it?
Sniping at others efforts is easy but i don't see you willing to take the time and the effort to get all the necessary bolts together and then sort them for each kit,pack then up and send them off to people... making only the price of a pint out of each kit for your trouble.
Steptoe (Neil) has at a least done this and as very many of the site members know he doesn't rip us off and in fact makes very little on most items he sells on the site. He'd be one of the first to point people to a cheaper price on items if he can.
It's time people like you start appreciating what people like Neil do for the site members
No-one has explained why Tuned-in felt that the rest of the thread should be deleted.
Other paying advertisers have had alternative sources and often lower prices pointed out for some of their products, but these links haven't been deleted, strange.
I deleted or edited nothing in the thread
As with the rest of your post.... your statements have been sadly lacking in facts..... this is not the first time i've seen evidence of you trying to undermine the site and site members without facts.
So confidant that i am that you are shit stirring i'm willing to give £100 to the charity of your choice that if you prove conclusively at the time you stated this.
I've received seven private e-mails from other members who don't think the thread modification was right
Why not state at the beginning of your post you were Le Singe and you couldn't get logged on as Le Singe (because you asked to
delete my details as a registered member, I no longer want to be part of your Forum)
why say your location was London, if you live in France?
All adds up to someone wanting to shit stir IMO( and was caught out
)
If you wanted to leave... leave and don't come back..... you seem to be like most of the rest that spit the dummies out and say they leave the site and won't be back... they come back and read the site without the logging in... so they haven't left really they just can't post under the name they threw the hissy fit with.
Nothing like sticking to your principles
(joke)
