Need to get this out of my chest

[gatos]

Need to get something out of my chest as I am really annoyed with the actions of one member here. I am not going to mention names or be very specific, so here it goes. Sometime ago, a member here needed a part and they've contacted me directly to see if I had it. I did, so I offered it for a lot less than the cheapest one I could find on ebay. I have dealt with him in the past too and had no issues. Anyway as most of you here know I always check and double check all parts I send out to people and make sure they are in good order. As far as I can recall, I have only twice sent a faulty part to two members here and I immediately refunded the money including the postage.

Anyway, the part I am on about was definitely working perfectly fine, as I drove that car and even if it was ever so slightly faulty, it would be obvious to even the most clueless person out there. Anyway, a couple of days later, I got a call that the part was working, but that there was a problem with it. I instantly apologized and offered another one which I have kept as a back up for my own car and the original part was given back to me. I didn't bother checking it at the time, as I had no reason not to believe or trust that person and I just put it aside, as I like taking things apart to see how they work. This evening, I picked up the part and by closer inspection, I've realized that some of the inner parts were smashed to bits. Now I know for sure that this was not like that before, as I would have never sold it to anyone. So either that member has returned me another faulty part, or somehow managed to damage the one I've originally sent them. One small nut or bolt forgotten loose in that part would cause that sort of damage. If it was a cheap part, I wouldn't be so bothered, but is not and in the process, I gave away my own back up.

I always try to help (where and when I can) anyone who needs help can and try to treat people the same way I want to be treated. For someone in this forum to do something likes this, it is absolutely disgusting and it has really p!ssed me off. Is this what I get in return for getting out of my way for helping someone out? This is f*cking ridiculous and it makes me feel like a complete mug. I was under the impression that people here (specially regular members) had the same way of thinking and treated each other with respect. For something like this to happen is a hard kick to the balls and it makes me think why the f*ck I even bother anymore. It really sucks.

I am really sorry for the tirade, but I am in a very foul mood this evening. I should also state that 99% of the people here have been absolutely perfect with me to date and by no means do I have a problem with them.

So to cap it all, this is for the member here who pulled a fast one on me.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE and just to remind you that WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. I will not name and shame you here, but if you ever need anything or any help you will definitely not get it from me. And you will be added to my ignore list from now on
