I'm just so p.o.ed that this has to come down to this. Try both SEASL and SLASH if you don't like it try skydiving.

I don't mind it as long as it's not the owner or employees of the store. If it's the consumer saying "This happened or that happened" then I think it's just simple vendor feedback. Don't think that people won't post something negative about the store if they're treated badly. This is just a thing that comes with good customer service/relations.
Sorry if this has been mentioned, I didn't want to read through 3 pages of this stuff. I'll just post my opinion.

I have posted good stuff about Chad and GWA. I made my 73 year old father show up at his house and help me with carrying water and rock when I was setting up my tank. Chad helped carry stuff too, and for that I was grateful. Where were the Amish when we needed them?
If you like a store, tell people. If I do not care for the same store, I guess I will just disagree with your opinion.
Lots of ways to do things people. Take all opinions with a grain of salt, have a beer, think about life, etc. Who cares if someone advertises? I will make up my own mind...

Folks,
I never thought that we would have to include in the forum rules any mention of too much praise of any LFS. I think that stores deserve all the credit they can get.
That being said, I DO think that maybe one or two posters have gone overboard at one time or another. You know who you are.
I have to admit that I was almost ready to strangle Chad just because I too got tired of the relentless praise of GWA. Fortunate for him, I am old and weak so I was no real threat.
I'm of the opinion that anyone who cares to sing the virtues of ANY LFS should be encouraged to do so but not to the extent that it becomes a nuisance to the rest of us.
Lost Marbles intention in his post was strictly informational. I can say with certainty that he was not coercerd into making that post with promises of money or goods in return for doing so. Yes, he helped Chad by working on his store as many of us did but he has no ties to the store other than trying to help a new business become successful. No harm, no foul. I would view it differently if he were on the board every day stating something about GWA but that is not the case.
I really think that the best way to handle this is to let folks post what they want. If it appears that someone is doing a little too much cheerleading then we, as a group, should ask them in a civil manner to stop. If they continue to cheerlead, we will ask for help from RC.
Don't forget, SLASH is in the process of trying to form a relationship with ALL vendors in the area and needs their support. Let's not say anything negative about a vendor because of a customers praise.

Gary,
I don't understand why you would say this.
SLASH in no more connected to GWA than they are to TWP, CPE, MS or any other LFS in the area. Some of us helped work on Chads store but then again some of the folks who were helping Chad are SEASL members. Does that mean that SEASL is connected to GWA?
When this forum went live you were one of the early posters and asked who could join SLASH. My reply to you was that everyone is welcome. That includes you and any SEASL member. We exclude no one.
There is no bashing of SEASL in this forum that I am aware of. If there were, we would put a stop to it immediately. Are you aware that Tom Gibbons has stated that he intends to join SLASH. If I'm not mistaken, he is running for an SEASL Executive Officer position. He's made no comment about noticing any SEASL bashing and I'm sure he would tell us if he did.
If you notice any SEASL bashing going on in this forum I ask you to notify me so that we can make sure that it stops and does not happen again.
Again, I state that you and any SEASL member are welcome to join SLASH. We invite you to become a member and to participate in planning our future.
