A Word from Pressure Washer Products

I admit, I have been a member of PWI for only about a year or so. I was invited to join. I have enjoyed these bbs and I am bewildered by one individual in particular whom seems to have a need to publish a seemingly extreme disdain for me both personally and professionally. Should I prove and gather evidence of damage, that individual would become legally liable for pursued financial restitution. Luckily, I am not a litigious individual.

During this period of time, I have noticed many instances of disapointment in character of individuals posting on this bbs and others. (I am talking about a handful of offenders.) Some seem to be addicted to the negativity of poking fun at an individual or creating topics for childish gossip unrelated to pressure washing, roof cleaning or the related industries.

Comments on many threads are quite simply, LIBEL.

For the offenders, please explain when you feel that the veil and ambiguity of the computer screen and keyboard should fade the line of our constitutional right of free speech versus defamatory libel for you. When? Why do you feel you have the right? This behavior is not ethical nor professional or even Christian. The rude comments, defamatory, false statements and criticism should cease. It does not add intellectual value to the bbs.

Do you know that a defamatory statement does not have to prove to be true to be libel? Verbalization of malicious defamation meets the definition of slander. When defamation fueled by malicious intent is published, it becomes libel. Realize that opinions are not held innocuous to the definition of libel.

Although this handful of cowardly offenders hide behind their computer screens in this virtual world, please be mindful of those written comments. Libel is injurious. The bbs operators, moderators and registered owner(s) are legally accountable for the content.

As you read through past threads that exhibit a taste of malice, reflect on how the recipient may feel. Remember that the person responsible for the post(s), the moderators, operators and owner(s) may be held legally liable for financial restitution.
 
You need a thicker skin, I have taken shots and got shots taken at me many times, these BB's are far from perfect but they are just a BB

You come here to help but you are also here to sell your products, so you either take the bad with the good or dont come here. We contractors hold distributors to a higher standard, maybe because we give you our money and most of you are somewhat experts that we look to for advise and to make some right choices, but we also like I said give you our money and thats the bottom line. So if you dont like taking a hit every once in a while, I suggest you dont worry about Libel, you should just not sell on the BB's. Many that are on the BB's have been for years, you have gotten some great reviews from many of your customers, but it doesnt mean everyone has to like you or even talk nice about you. You will learn or disappear from the BB's, its all just a internet thing

The Lonnie ANR thing does not help you, here's a man with many things going on in his life, hard working father and husband, honest and very nice guy and you refuse to just take the hit and give his money back asap. So you are going to get beat up about it, its the nature of the BB's
 
What happen to the good old days, when a disgruntled distributor would just stomp their feet and ban themselves.....?


This little guy to the right of this sentence has some great advice.:ignore:

You say that people hide behind a computer, well come to the show and I will tell you to your face anything I have said here and more, more then you can ever imagine, bring you father and lawyer as well, bring it on. And you need to understand the difference between libel and opinion, I asked the difference and presented all that has been said on this board, and I was re assured that it is all opinion, that for which is not fact, so careful about your threats.



And P.S. ever hear of the saying people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, well you my friend live in a very very glass house.
 
What Jeff is saying to you is that many people on these forum just open their mouths and what ever comes out, you, as the hearer must accept.
It's bogus reasoning and simply gives people with no character their self-justification to say whatever they want with no regard for its effect on someone else.

It's no different than times past. Forum's simply give them an opportunity to share their rant with the entire world. Something they truly love to do.

Smart thing to do is to ignore them. Most people do.

I seldom post my business concerns here anymore because I got tired of their assinine comments.
 
Did NIKKY tell everyone that we IMMEDIATELY REFUNDED them for one of the 5 boxes that was returned?

We returned the 1 pkg to them and they credited our acct.,

...in her very first post on the subject.

These contractors are a very loyal bunch. They stick together when one is wronged, support each other in hard economic times, pat each other on the back for jobs well done, and are most always there for each other solving problems together for the common good (advancement of a professional industry). It's not a "them against us" mentality as far as distributors go, but they are free to pick and choose from whom they purchase goods. If one is treated unfairly (as the general census suggests the Greenwoods were), there's no pulling punches when it comes time for a critique on a vendor. As a result,a customer's total satisfaction is the ultimate goal. Any "personal attacks" should be retracted by the author, but you cannot avoid factual bad news. If that were the case, Mel Gibson would not be newsworthy now, and Toyota could have gotten their "sticky gas pedal" problem hushed up. Just sayin'...
 
Lori, listen to Russ.
You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

The veiled threats don't help your cause at all.

Those a the smartest words I have seen posted in Days
 
Wow, what a riot. And everyone thought I was crazy when I said she had cursed and lied to me on the phone in the beginning. Good luck with the sales pitch, it seems to need a little tweaking.

You stole Lonnie's packages, didn't you!?
:smilewinkgrin:
 
When are you going to refund the other 4 boxes????????????

:slap:

This is beginning to resemble a self-infected train wreck.
 
This was posted on RCIA as well and I had no idea what is was about. We removed it. The funny thing is now all these guys that didn't even know about this are looking at you and they would have never known. I asked you to stop poking at Ron and RCIA now I see it is a bigger issue you posted that had nothing to do with RCIA. You have sold a lot of product on these boards and RCIA association has never collected a dime for it. I asked you for this one thing in return and a week later this happens. Ron left you alone publicly on that bored as he was asked and you were asked too. Now it's public, don't raise threats of lawsuits against RCIA or PWP for your business affairs or I will ban you and you won't be able to advertise on RCIA anymore. We are not running your business for you. We removed the argument from public view to end it and now you threaten to sue me?? If that's your real intention than I will see you in court. I have already notified my lawyer, have you done the same, because I dought one would take your case against me and RCIA.

Ps sorry to mention RCIA so many times, just trying to keep it clear as I am unaware of all the rules and happenings here at PWI.
 
Screw it. I am.tiredof this. I think everyone is seeing through the mess that Lori has created, on every level. Don't be surprised if she never responds here again..

Lori, welcome to banned camp.
 
It is probably best to ban Lori, for her own good. It had started to fade away and then she came on and stirred it all up again. I cannot stand to see boards pulled or even closed for that matter, but I am starting to understand it. Someone on an emotional tirade can ruin their business in a matter of days. I think it is important for contractors to know exactly what type of people they are doing business with and things like this provide that insight. This makes the second supplier that I will not buy from due to their actions on these boards. It is something for everyone to keep in mind.
