[John D.]

For those how have better things to do then read lengthy posts ) here is a summary of the points Iâ??m about to make below:


Tim, your analogy is off base â?? your example states that you â??purchased the carâ?;


You continue to discount the details as no ones business â?? but you started this thread;


As the website owner, in many lawyers eyes, I am personally liable for posts to this Forum - so you bet I'll be sure comments are fair and represent both sides of an issue; and


Threatening use of the Luger Forum as a public purview before posting your note to settle a private dispute makes it â??my businessâ? as the operator of this Forum and owner of the Domain Name (see legal ramifications below)â?¦


Details on these points continue hereâ?¦.


- Can you name me a single car dealer that would store your car for a YEAR on a deposit only? Your entire post is predicated on the fact that you had already paid for the car.


- In your previous replies, you make mention that the â??detailsâ? are nobodyâ??s business. Well â?? since you posted the original note â?? YOU made the details everyoneâ??s business. For some reason, it would appear however that when those same deatils may not support a perceived position, the details donâ??t seem to matter much?


- Then you wrote â??â?¦I can see it has been shared in quite detailâ?. Yes, as the owner/operator of this site (which is why my comment yesterday as to ownership was entirely relevant) â?? I am the same person who gets included in on lawsuits â?? threatened, implied or real â?? when a dealer or private individual feels they are libeled within this same Forum. As in this specific thread, I am the same one who is duly notified when a dealer is sent an e-mail by a â??customerâ? days before a Post appears, where the dissatisfied customer has threatened the dealer with use of this Public Forum in an effort to gain public support. And to stop that post, the Dealer had better pay out the refund the customer feels they are entitled to â?? whether rightfully or wrongfully. In my humble opinion â?? thatâ??s little short trying to gather a â??lynch mobâ? and force a dealer into a position they havenâ??t previously agreed. I believe others have referred to it as â??blackmailâ?, but Iâ??ll let the readers derive their own acronym for what they prefer to call it. In short â?? if you have a gripe â?? either work it out with the Dealer privately â?? or post your side in objective format and with all the facts to this Forum publicly. Threatening the use of this Forum just doesnâ??t cut it â?? and yes, typically the website operator will be notified of those impending threats. Oh â?? and by the way â?? should anyone decide to post their gripe publicly, then they should be aware that they certainly have opened up themselves and their actions to the scrutiny of thousands of readers. In other words â?? you are responsible for your own actions and posts â?? and any consequences that are generated from them.


As a personal commentary - if you are under the false impression that the â??formatâ? and â??purposeâ? of this Forum is for private use of a public polling area to force a dealer to see â??your point of viewâ? - then you are way off base. If Iâ??m wrong in that â?? then I donâ??t need, nor want - the legal, financial and personal liabilities associated with these sites and their operation that would allow people to post one-sided commentary unchallenged â?? nor would people believe that they are not responsible for the content within their own posts. To represent both side of an issue fairly is fine. To state all the facts, as you know them, is also fine - but by your own admission - such is not the case in this thread by your discounting the details as irrelevant. To that point - I can tell you this Forum NOT to be used as a veiled attempt to try and set Dealer Policies for the personal gain of one disenfranchised customer.


Good luck to you.
