Saying shit behind people’s backs? What does that have to do with anything. If you didn’t want this to be a major issue and wanted to try and deal with this cordially between 3 grown men, you would have PMed both of them, and then maybe setup some sort of meeting in person. You, typing all this shit up, how is it going to solve anything that you perceive as wrong? Oh, thats right, it isn’t.

Networking is how you build relationships in business and in life in general. Sure, this website may be a hobby, but say I needed something done for my work that was IT related? I’d probably talk to Whitey first because I’m sure he knows his shit. I surely hope he would do the same thing with me if there were some sort of issue with his furnace/air conditioning/other home comfort system in his home because that is my specialty. Just because this board is car related doesn’t mean that there can’t be other business relationships outside of it.
In a nutshell, if you really had a problem and wanted to speak with someone directly, you would do it in person. I know the next time I’m at a meet or something, I plan to buy JiMMaY a beer and be cool with him, especially considering the both of us acting that little kids on here about 6 months ago. But it’s squashed, we both admitted we were wrong, and its over. It’s not the same thing, but I still think its stupid to bitch about this on the site.
Oh, and lastly, it’s Whitey’s site. If he wanted to play favorites (I’m not saying he does), what is there to stop him? He pays the fuckin’ bills, he puts the time in, he can do as he wishes. Nobody is being forced to post here. This isn’t a concentration camp, its a God damned message board.
