Hey guys I know I wasnt involved with any of that stuff but I have to offer a thumbs up to the guys running the site for not having a double standard for certain advertizers like another site I know of does. You do need to consider the reasons for supporting the business that support the site etc.
It seems like a "gray area" on specialty stuff that wouldnt be supplied normally from any of the current site sponsors but as long as the law has been laid down and its upheld to the same level in the future I think its hard to really press this issue.
I have seen way too much in the way of worshiping the dollar and sites losing their value to the members from all kinds of stuff like censoring unpopular opinion on parts or suppliers or just jamming the same old thing down our throats over and over.
Just dont think this is the case here and it seems to be one of the more realistic sites when it comes to this stuff.
There were several people who were offering replacement tie rod ends in various styles and there didnt seem to be any problem with derno24 telling about his great success and lower costs on the ones I got for him. Now I guess I never did push them at all and even never bothered to get any more for those who may have needed them etc but this wasnt from any pressure from the site but just due to not needing to be bothered with the BS when so many were happy to be paying more for them elseware.
Maybe there could be a compromise on the banning, but I for one can understand the reasoning behind it.
