    That's the cool thing about owning your own rig. You don't have to listen to nobody tell you nothing. No matter how rational and correct they may be.

    There's a good scam. Deny the owner warranty coverage and make him pay. Then submit warranty work to OEM for a double payday! Sweeet!

    Actually his viewpoint is more like someone that's had to stand at the counter peeling off his own, hard earned hundred dollar bills for some less than legit or necessary repair in order to get his truck out and move on. Then hearing not so brilliant or relevant advice from someone who's not taking any business risk himself would be my guess on the attack. You're the one that brought up life experience and fast food, not the OP. Let it go.

    It's happened to better people. Your "attack" was pretty soft IMO. They usually contact you and put you on a short term time-out first. PM a moderator and ask. When you view the list of o/o topics, the mods are listed along the bottom of the page. BHW usually covers this one.

    Perhaps because of your comments to windsmith.

    Honestly, his comments caused concern so we check on him and he's actually a previously banned member that came back for about the 4th or 5th time. I don't understand why people don't want to follow the rules here. :biggrin_25526:

    Doesn't matter if you complain or not if the mods decide someone isn't acting right they can ban them.
