    It was someone on the SEQLD LR 4 Facebook page. I can't remember the name. I thought about it. Too late

    where's Gordon?

    I have been contacted by PM by several people who are now seriously concerned of the behaviour of this lot for not answering emails or the phone. This enterprise has several thousands of dollars of forum members money and when they express their concerns their comments have been deleted. Some of these people have been waiting over 9 months for delivery. I have been refunded through PayPal but most of these people will not be able to as it is now over 180 days. I love this forum but I am getting increasingly concerned where the moderator constantly reminds us what a 'great bloke' runs this organisation and then deletes peoples threads who would argue otherwise. If people sate the facts of their experience with an organisation then I think they deserve to be heard.

    you need to start by getting your facts straight.

    your making quite a few incorrect assumptions

    the thread was moved by me, to be vetted by my legal team as it contained defamatory content by people with absolutely no connection to the issues at hand expressing ill informed comment and opinion with no regard for the facts.

    the moderator you assume had a hand in it being moved, played no part in it.

    any content of that thread deemed not an issue will be returned in due course, as is always the case when contentious posts are made.

    the main thread discussing the business in question is still open so I find your assertions that there is a cover up more than a little curious.

    this thread has been merged with that thread

    I suggest anyone participating in this thread stick to opinion based on their own experience

    to do otherwise leaves your self open to litigation, real or vexacious if this lot ends up in a court of law which I suspect it will.

    Paddy wanted to be an accountant, so he went and took the Irish accountancy exam.

    Examiner: If I give you two rabbits and then I give you another two rabbits, how many rabbits do you have?
    Paddy: Five.

    Examiner: No, listen carefully again. If I give you two rabbits and then I give you another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
    Paddy: Five.

    Examiner: Let's try this another way. If I give you two bottles of beer and then I give you another two bottles of beer, how many bottles of beer have you got? Clean Irish Jokes
    Paddy: Four.

    Examiner: Good! Now, if I give you two rabbits and then I give you another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
    Paddy: Five.

    Examiner: How on earth do you work out that two lots of two rabbits is five?
    Paddy: I've already got one rabbit at home!

    It's always important to take into account motives of people's actions when making your assessments.

    Yes, it's frustrating that you (and others) are experiencing delays. I would be frustrated, too. But it's important to distinguish between a delay that's caused by a crisis in a man's life and a delay that's caused by sloppy business practice. They're not the same thing.

    Gordon has served this forum very well for a number of years; his reputation is not that of a bad businessman.

    I don't think he woke up one morning and decided to rip people off. The guy has serious issues in his life and needs time and space to sort them out. His issues are bigger than your missing wheels, so give him a break.

    Yes, it would be nice if he could continue running his business without a hiccup whilst handling his personal issues, but right now it seems that he can't. It's not a sign that he has no personal values. It's not a sign that he has become a bad businessman. It's simply a sign that he is human and has his limitations. As do all of us.

    Last year I went through some issues with my wife. I also run my own business and usually my attitude towards work is like that of a bull charging at the gates. I make **** happen. I work hard and play hard. But when I had problems with The One, work was the last thing on my mind. As a result, I ****ed people off and, after it was all sorted, had decent-sized fires that I had to put out. And I suspect that Gordon's issues are much, much bigger than the ones I experienced.

    I think the issue is exacerbated by the fact that Gordon is choosing to not disclose much about what's really going on in his life. His "strong and silent" approach, although understandable, is adding fuel to the fire. I believe that if he openly shared with us what he is going though, the forum's reaction here would be very different. People would rally around him and support him as a community. After all, that's what we are, aren't we? Surely this is bigger than the endless conversations about squeaking tailgates and debates about the best wheel/tyre size combination for a D4 (which, for the record, is 265/60/18).

    With that in mind, I urge everyone to exercise some restraint in criticising Gordon. Let's raise above the bickering and look at the situation in context. Which really is - the Gordon's issues are interfering with our desire to play with our toys. Come on - right now people all around the world are having much bigger problems than that.
