This is an internetforum. People write things and other read it. Without seeing the other person.
The only possible way to act is to discuss. Ask (in a friendly way) what the writer means, ask for backgrounds, come to a conclusion.
But NEVER act based upon a single topic/thread.
That is just stupid and ridiculous!
The same about the dealers reaction and action.
GUYS, this is a forum in which we can discuss and get together in a nice community, all with the same interest.
