So, one of your buddies here alerted me to this wonderful ‘chat’ you have running. I appreciate the head’s up.
Here’s the deal – I realize you guys Bondo and Ding – you don’t like me. That doesn’t bother me in the least. You don’t like autobody101, fine. I’m not out to win any popularity contests.
I’m going to ask you one thing though. Please don’t screw around with the website. I’m trying to run it like a business, just like Justin is running his deal over here. If you don’t like it, you don’t like me, you don’t like some of the members over there — it’s a simple solution: Don’t go there. The internet is pretty big, and there are lots of great places you guys can hang out and talk – including this site right here.
I hope you understand me, and will at least respect this simple request.
Peace,
Chris[url]http://www.autobody101.com/chat.jpg[/url]

:welc
:pcorn: Well ahh… :welc
What have I missed?? Im workin too damn much missing out on the action 😛
I think it has to do with the tacking between clear coats thread on 101…..That was some of the worst advice I’d ever seen. :wak
Don’t encourage them to hang out here Chris, I’ve been trying to get rid of em for years! :rofl
All kidding aside they are top notch techs, I don’t know why you would want to discourage them from posting, they’ve helped alot of members over the years on your site.Justin, I think you missed something important. I agree that the clearcoat advice was not good, and needed to be (respectfully) pointed out. And by no means am I discouraging them from participating — all I’m asking for are the games to stop. Check your own chat archives.
I’m very disappointed that these guys would be pimping threads over here and encouraging each other to taunt other members over on ab101, and openly state that they are testing my management of the site. That’s the long and short of my issue. You wouldn’t like it if it were going in the other direction, would you?
I realize you guys don’t care, and are probably even now getting a good laugh at my expense, but last night was pretty lousy for me and very upsetting to see people I thought I could be friends with behaving this way.
Like I said…appealing to basic decency here…can you guys please stop playing games with the site? If you have something constructive to contribute, please…contribute. I’m more than willing to move beyond this incident, but I’d like to be able to focus on more important things and not have to worry abut stuff like this.
Does that sound reasonable?
i blame bondo and ding.
I do appreciate where your coming from Chris. I had a look at the chat, it looked like they were mostly just venting some frustration on the topic and how the member referred to everybody as “unprofessional” over a questionable method. It looked to me that is was just observational humor in regards to testing management, rather then a call to action or what they were trying to do…But I do not wish to censor anybody on the site, they are free to express themselves how they like for the most part.
There is a great group of guys here and were all pretty tight, I’m sure we can all get along and that they like you just fine…. I get flamed all the time on youtube, I don’t let it get me down…I find it pretty funny actually! I made the site for the users, I like to think that they run it, not me. Some people are better at accepting opposing opinions then others, There’s always gonna be arguments, you’ll drive yourself mad worrying about it…. Just go with the flow and have some fun!
I’m sure we can move past this, I like what you have done with the site BTW, it’s coming along nicely.
bad bondo bad :hunt :jesus

:blink:
we were just trying to increase traffic to the site for users that didnt know about it. B) the rest was just harmless banter among friends. anyone can join the chat at anytime if they want to chime in. no need to be a hidden guest and run to mommy when someone says something they dont like.
one thing about the automotive trade is you need to have a thick skin. go work in a shop and see how you techs bust each other. much worse than us 😉Whatever happened to free speech :unsure: This is being blown out of proportion ,the guy gave bad advice and somebody called him on it,now the site owner has his panties in a wad :wak suck it up and move on.It reminds me of that saying fighting on the internet is like :rofl thats all I’m sayin.I thought bondo and ding were funny though 😛

:pcorn: and, I have and will continue to say, every one treat others on the net as they would treat them face to face ….. it’s easy (and I’ve seen it before) to treat some one improperly when they are on the other side of the screen/world. In front of you are real people with real feelings…. treat them proper. :pcorn:
p.s. chris, you’ve hurt jimmos feelings, and owe him an apology. dings pretty sensetive also, so maybe deserves an apology ,…. but that bondo :cens :wak
