The only implications I've made about keeping this mess private was to Ghost and it was my recommendation. He can do with it what he pleases outside my E-walls.

As for those that think I was wrong in closing that thread, i have two points to make

One is a question and its NOT rhetorical. What end do you see all this public "not fully in the loop" bitching making between people that are in two different countries and abiding by two totally different sets of guidelines? Ashley was being read the riot act not by ghost, but by plenty of others and most of those posts were removed. Don't think that just because something's not actively present that things didn't take place to end a thread.

Number two- this is a private forum that I'm responsible for and keep as my own. We as staff make decisions on what's best and I feel we do a damn good job. You're more than able to question it but the moment you step into disrespectful territory, you're in our sights. That's the way it works on all forums. Get used to it.

Where in the hell do you read anything I posted as a threat?

Thanks for making a rampantly blown out of proportion situation even worse.
ROFL **** disturbing lol

Me thinks I kicked a steaming pile of manure that sometimes goes by another name.

Sad that you think three freaking blown engines is a rampantly blown out of proportion situation.

Testify! Infighting won't fix this poor guy's truck. I feel for him, I really do. But flinging crap at each other is an activity best saved for YouTube, not this Forum where we help each other.

You may not have intended it to be so but it is a threat.

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what details that Ghost has left out, but I understand to a certain extent why you won't lay it out there for all of us to see.

Obviously whatever knowledge you might have seems that it would be significant enough that Ford has been stonewalling Ghost by not getting him into a new truck. So if that's the case then why are they throwing new engines in left and right....to the extent that it's likely more expensive than getting him a new truck?

This stuff just doesn't make sense to me. If the details you're claiming he left out were what he posted about a page or two ago are it...then I'm even more puzzled because that certainly doesn't seem worthy of basically calling him out.

Not trying to stir more crap up....but more or less just intrigued by what the details may be.

No, the self righteous people jumping the bandwagon and bringing down the spirit of the Forum not knowing the whole story, making assumptions and trying to be a hero in a sad situation is what's blown out of proportion.

A new truck?? Why? Because the dealer failed to adequately fix the problem from the beginning?

Easy now. It's blown out of proportion because of comments like yours. There are better ways of getting your opinion out there.

You know what they say about opinions though!

I don't always like to fling crap at others, but when I do, it's on YouTube!
