So I am sure I will make plenty of friends now
In regards to blocking Olav's posts, I have to question that frankly. See this thread:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?show...c=45552&hl=hundreds of posts smack talking AA - including me - as I have had a little run-around from them before as well. Those issues are no more of a "civil issue" than the paint issue Olav is having.
I think the real issue is that George Hussey has no friends here. This painter had an eye witness that is an admin.
Olav had an issue with him and regardless of how he handled it, I don't know that he should have arbitrarily been blocked. To say <painter in question> doesn't belong to the forum and can't give his side - what about George? If anything Andy was making his case for him as an innocent bystander that happened to be at the scene of the accident so to say - much like that kid Jason or whatever his name was that works for AA.
And I am just using the AA example arbitrarily - we all smack-talk suppliers we don't like or painters or whatever we had an issue with all the time on this forum. What I am saying is I see a little hypocracy here. I thought we had this smiley for a reason
If anything, I enjoy the excitement in an otherwise boring day at the screen.
Frankly, if Olav had work done that fell apart a few days later, that is good to know, even if he did or didn't threaten and so forth. That was a prep work issue and AFAIK every painter out there has one here and there. Watch American Hotrod even and Boyd has (had) a good painter that had a lifting issue on one episode. And he is a good painter. Nobody is perfect. I take everything on this forum with a grain of salt and I don't expect everyone to believe everything outta my mouth/keystrokes either <my mistake is a classic example now!>
Olav had an issue with <painter in question>; now I know that. Andy was "witness" to how it was handled and called
so now it is up to me to make of it what I will. Frankly, I make of it flawed (not necessarily wrong or bad) prep work that I suspect <painter in question> was willing to fix and Olav might have "pulled a Tim" and talked himself into a bad situation. BTDT too many times to count.
Anyway... back to work... nothing to see here... back to work people
