Ok guys, I have to put an end to this. Jon, I know you\'re upset and I can understand why. However, situations like this need to be dealt with privately before they are brought out on a public forum. Mike hasn\'t even had the chance to defend or explain himself yet and there\'s already a two-page thread of complaints.I\'m locking this thread now and will leave it up for the time being...however, don\'t expect it to last long. If anyone has issues with Mike, please take them up privately with him so we don\'t have another thread of people bashing him. Thanks.***UPDATE***Ok, I\'ve deleted everyone else\'s messages except the original and this one and I\'ve modified the title. I understand people have their own issues and opinions on this, but we really need to keep this between Mike and Jon. I understand Jon\'s frustration but threads like this only spell one thing, and that\'s trouble. We really cannot start threads just to start an argument over a deal with another member. I\'ve been screwed over myself from a former member that used to poist here all the time, but I took it up with him privately and got it settled. There\'s no reason to take it publicly...unless it\'s some sort of epidemic, but even then it has to be handled responsibly and not as an open free-for-all that everyone can chime in on. Jon, I know you\'re upset and it looks like you have every right to be. However, Mike deserves a chance to explain himself and make it right. Please remember that this is Justin\'s board and even though alot of us make and sell stuff on here, we have to respect the fact that we\'re in someone else\'s \"house\".That said, I\'m leaving this thread up for Mike to see but I really don\'t know how long it will last. I really don\'t like the idea of calling someone out like this but I also think it\'s a good reminder for us all that threads like this really cannot be tolerated. Again, I understand why you\'re upset Jon, but that needs to be focused in the right way and not on an open forum. That goes for us all.
