Because that's what RD does. He wants to be involved. He wants to be the liaison between local business and boaters/RDP members, and for the part, he does a great job. I had a problem years ago with a certain vendor, who is now a forum sponsor...guy fucked me pretty good. I asked a simple question on PB, not mentioning names or even pointing at a problem with a vendor, and this asshole chimed in an escalated things. Next I know, King Creole, RD, and some dipshit claiming to be this assholes attorney are calling me. I had PMs from other members with similar experiences that I conveyed to KC and RD, and sure enough, now he is a sponsor. Right and wrong doesn't matter. This is a business and business follows money.
If I was a business, I'd like to think that I'd take the truth over money because morals, but morals don't put food on the table...., but If I'd had drinks and lunch with the money, and I'd only met the truth on the interweb, I can't say which side I'd join.
I wish I could say I remember that, but I don't.. and I'm not even sure what forum sponsor you are talking about. As said earlier, years back I used to get way more involved with bullshit like this, then I ever will do now. I'm kinda passed that whole deal, and just do whatever it takes to get it resolved and broom the situation and move on with life.
In full disclosure of some facts here. OCM / Tim is not an advertiser here, nor has he been in years. That being said I did shoot him a text this morning that said he really needs to fix his PR out on the internet, and you are correct sir.. If I end up handling that for him I will absolutely charge the shit out of him for it because I believe it to be a tall order. To keep with transparency, yes I already have a plan that is ethical, and honest, and transparent to fix that PR problem, and could do it in 8 weeks or less.
It all makes perfect sense now... to me at least!
Hey if Tim would've paid the guy like he said he would (guaranteed he would, provided evidence he did etc..).. and then provided me with letters of endorsement from past sellers and buyers, then absolutely I could've solved his PR problem.. Just put up 2-3 a week and eventually it would've gone away in less then 8 weeks.
Absolutely I should get paid for solving his PR problem if he could've honored his agreement. I don't work for free.. Do you?
That being said it all starts with "Tim paying the guy and honoring the agreements." Not Tim being a compulsive liar, and Dave finding out about it 2 days later.

I would also EXPECT that if and when this guy gets funded today (and my other buddy as well) that everyone will understand why I will delete this thread and the original one. I would also expect all of these people that have said all this bullshit about robbing peter to pay paul, and the countless other accusations to offer Tim an apology on here. If they don't... Well then maybe we can tie a few of them to a stake and have some gas cans ready. See how they like it.

I'm talking about you getting involved in these things, not this deal specifically. Like "Kustom-gate" as it were. I'm not gonna lie, feel like you sold out.
On another note, I told you he was a compulsive liar years ago, lol.
Wow... this came back around to bite you on the ass... time to eat a little crow. Kinda like when you felt my Hallett story was an... whatever. I know you are running a business here and I appreciate it. But to date, and I have not been here that long, you seem to come to the defense of the boat/marine business's side of things and impugn what your posters are saying way to fast.
As an aside, I like when I visit computer review websites and a customer has a complaint on their message boards and the manufacturer jumps right in and offers their apologies and a number of ways to contact them to remedy the situation ~ I don't recall seeing that here from any boat/marine businesses but like I mentioned I am fairly new here. I look at the entire boat/marine industry like I would a used car dealer. With suspicion ~ anytime you can have large amounts of money that are for the most part disposable it seems to bring out the crooks. Caveat Emptor.
Jesus.. do we really need another OCM thread?
You couldn't post this in one of the 5 or 10 going?

Well on the "Kustom" thing I'd still side with ole Kornowski on that.. You aren't gonna get it (ever) so I'm not gonna bother explaining it to ya.

Dear Tim,
I am writing this letter to apologize for any misconceptions, negative reactions or hurt feelings that were caused by anything I might have said or done. In both my professional and private life I strive to be courteous, considerate and respectful. I am truly sorry if you felt that you were treated in any other fashion.
I hope that we can work past this miscommunication and return to a mutual relationship of trust and respect.
:rolleyes
p.s. I didn't want to start another thread.
No need, that's my point I understand why you got involved so personally, is all.
Careful with all that... it cheapens the creditability of any recommendation that comes from the site when shit backfires. After the last deal I now make it a point not to use businesses that are hyped here... you can never get a bad review.
Get it all in boyz.. Nows your chance.. LOL
I'm sorry I believed Tim. I had no idea what he was at the time and he was very convincing. The instant I found out it was all bullshit and I was able to get the boat I put down at OCM out of OCM I posted every single thing I witnessed at OCM online.
