The Moody 362 C-M

[stihl sawing]

Just got a message from Moody and he ask me to post this, I told him I would.



The past few days have been a bit challenging and frustrating. To be honest I was as confused as anybody. The issue to my knowledge has been handled. It boils down to I traded port work for a couple of parts and I was slow getting the cylinder shipped out. I've been called a liar and a thief. Neither of these could be farther from the truth. I was wrong in this situation and I've made my share of mistakes. And so have others. I've always done my best make people happy. And at times I've made excuses because I don't like disappointing people. That's my fault and I'll take the heat. But I'm moving forward. I will continue to build saws regardless of what people say about myself or my work. I build saws because I enjoy it. I waited to cool off before posting because regardless of what anyone says being insulted by people who have not met or even talked to is frustrating. But I learned a valuable lesson from the attack on my character. I CAN'T control what people say or who decides to listen, only how I respond. So here's my response and apology. I'm not perfect and I will never be. I can't fix who I've been but only who I am in the future.

And what about taking the freebie sponsorship benefits? He had to have known he wasn't entitled to those. I know every month when I get a PP invoice. I pay my dues so that I can peddle a few saws and I do expect others to do the same. If you don't want to pay up, you have the choice of using the Trading Post as many do. What happened bw Moody and a customer is one thing, but to knowingly benefit from some clerical or computer error while others have dutifullly paid what is owed is thievery.

There must be an explanation, maybe he has money problems right now, and he has requested that its bills be postponed? I understand your point of view, of course.

I know what the problem with that is, and it as nothing moody did purposely or did himself. And arboristsite is not at fault in the matter either.

He is taking care of the situation, and last time I checked you have never talked to moody, you dont even know him. All you know is what you have heard. It does not take a big person to call someone names behind a keyboard. It takes even less to judge someone. You don't have a dog in this fight, so I don't see where your OPINION matters. Just because he has not posted YET does not mean that he won't. He told me that his first priority is to make everything right before starts posting again. So, by no means has he disappeared so give it a rest. He will be back when everything is taken care of. From the conversation with him this morning things are settled.

His first priority was to make everything right? By that you mean before he does anything else? Like starting a build thread trying to drum up more business? Or, did he tell you that like he told Jeremy that his parts were done and would be shipped back?

Weird that he hasn't disappeared, but mysteriously all this drama has come out online because he didn't hold up his end of the bargain and then ignored it. There's plenty of ways for him to communicate with people, not being on AS isn't an excuse.

I appreciate you wanting to stick up for your buddy, but there is no reason for you to be his spokesperson, nor anyone else. That's how all this drama gets going, there was a deal between 2 people and they should be the ones to work that out. One of them held up his end of the bargain and the other didn't. Now, somehow, there are 50 different excuses of why the situation has gotten to this point. None of them particularly believable.

So he didn't pay his tab, but it's nobodies fault? How does that work?

Keep the excuses coming, they make me laugh.

So, he didn't know that $25/m wasn't being deducted from his account? I'm not buying it.

Stihl sawing can you lock this? This bickering between people that have no dog in the fight is just making matters worse!!

This is called a learning experience.

If you are referring to me, I have a dog in this fight. He's named, My Sponsorship Money. He's from the dam, My Bank Account and was sired by the stud, My Hard Work.

Ok I wont speak for him anymore. His account is locked, he can log in but can not do anything once he is logged in, that's the only reason I've spoke for him.

Now why dont you take your own advice and stay out of it too. This is his fire, go start your own.

It seems like certain builders on this site are so afraid of some competition that they bring to lite any dirt they can find on other builders in an attempt to ruin them knowing they have dirt of their own. From my experience competition makes you step up your game and makes you better.

Which builder is bringing up the dirt here? I will generally pull for the underdog, and I wish Mr. Moody nothing but success, but I have not seen any of the builders trying to bring him down

It's the victimhood card...it's tough to argue against it because it makes you look like a bully.

Wow.

So, now it's all the other saw builders who are scared of Moody stealing their business? That's the reason he wasn't sending parts as promised and hasn't paid his dues? Holy ****, dude, do you really expect anybody to believe that line of ********?

The excuses aren't helping his case, the sooner he realizes that, the better off he'll be.

I don't want the site locked, no reason to lock it. When/if someone wants to clear the air they can, and I can understand why paid sponsors are upset if someone else is not paying, has nothing to do with competition or your work. If you live by the sword, then you can die by the sword. You want to drum up business through this site, then you can also account for your actions through this site. Just My Opinion.

It is like hearing about a tax preparer who changes low fees and deducts all kinds of crap, only to find out that the return is not signed by a preparer.

 

[MustangMike]

I am not a paid sponsor on this site, but if I was and someone else pretended to be who was not, it would piss me off, and watch your language or you should be censored. The playing field should be level, any idiot can understand that.

Thanks, and I knew that...plenty of those papers in the file at the house.

Like I said earlier if I wanted soap opera theatrics I would watch day time TV. I don't feel the obligation to figure out whose right or wrong. I don't give two sh___. I'm on this site to hear about chainsaws and firewood talk. That being said I'm done with this thread.
