B8 - thats basically my point. Before the Gold Member and Trader tags came in, these posts were more prevelent than they are even now, yet nothing was said - there wasn't a problem. Now there IS a problem... Further concreting the "them and us" attitude....
Spadge - I ain't going back through tho whole thread, nor naming names, but one in particular that opposed his every word was a certain trader on here. I know you didn't tho
It's just, to me at least, every time someone mentions they have something for sale (even if they ARE a gold member like Andy) or are thinking about selling something or just curious as to the worth of something they have, someone, either another gold member or a trader, takes on the "well, I have paid to sell, why should that person make this post/reference/whatever - I'm going to complain" or in the case of Andy's problem "Hmph, I don't want anyone else selling the same stuff cheaper than me - I'm going to complain" - I mean COME ON! It's a fooking internet site! More importantly, it's an internet site for Ford enthusiasts - not many would be that enthusiastic about their cars if it werne't possible to get parts for em!
Now in the case of non goldmembers/traders trying to actually sell something then I agree, but it still stands, before all this camein there wasn't a problem - seems trying to create a solution has just created it's own problems?
