Thank you for deleting the post, that was very respectful of you. Because the same way this post may or may not effect your business is the same way that post may or may not effect mine. I understand you can not control what others say on your board but you are in charge of the rules and who moderates your board. You literally have a guy that is using his ego and emotions over rational thinking to moderate your board. When he gets upset or doesnt like somebody for whatever reason he decides to delete posts and threads that are not against your Terms and Conditions. Then he will refuse to admit when he was wrong.
I would pull that guys moderator powers right away, he is out of control. I do understand that you have a bunch of guys on your board that will just want to jump in and support people blindly without looking into what has happened. But here on PWI my post would have NEVER been removed in the first place so none of this would have ever happened.
As I don't blame you personally, I have decided to sever ties with WCR and WCRA because I am obviously not wanted over there. Which is sad, because I only try to post things that better our industry. Maybe if you would have put a bullet in that thread earlier it wouldn't have happened but it is what it is now. If your board is out of control and you don't stop it or change it or push it in a new direction than at the end of the day, you are at fault. I am done with your board now and definitely not interested in corresponding with any of the guys over there. Eventually, I feel your board will be more or less a group of 100 guys that pat each other on their backs. Newbies and outsiders are definitely not welcome there and you are not free to speak about the industry without a moderator jumping in and deleting your posts. I like forums where people can talk about whatever and all sides are heard. Sure you will have arguments from time to time just like this board does. But here ALL SIDES are equally presented and seen. You are running a concentration camp over there. Make some changes and it will better your board!
For the record, Chris did reach out to me and then the group of goons over there started to gang up and to harass me over a link I posted to a Cleaning Equipment Trader which is just their to benefit the industry. Chris believed it would put an end to the childish things that were being said. And him and I were working out cross promotion when they continued to gang up and be nonsensical about the whole thing. Even when Chris had stood up for me and mentioned that what I posted SHOULD NOT have been removed they continued. That is my side of the story in a nutshell so the reader of this thread should understand that.
Chris, I am not trying to jeopardize or damage your business and I never wanted to choose sides AT ALL in the fighting between boards or associations or people or whatever is going on. I am here to become a leader for the industry and help our entire industry as well as grow our entire industry. But I will say that I have watched all the fighting going on for years now. And I am finally starting to see what Ron, Tony, and other guys are talking about. I was treated like a red headed step child on a board you control. I respect you as a person but I can not pretend like I am happy or okay with what transpired at WCR.
