I guess what goes around comes around.... If I am not mistaken....lol... You sent an attack callin me a "nut hugger" earlier because I stated my opinion. It cracks me up how some guys attack other opinions in this thread and tell people how they are way off base or don't know "the story". Lmao

Everyone on here knows that they buy things based on a companies reputation and social evaluation. That evaluation can become an identity. If people keep hearing negative things it becomes a company identity. At that point reputation based decisions are made ..... Either to support or not support.... Which either way should be acceptable. I don't know why people can't feel free to share their experiences without getting flamed. I do agree that sometimes people jump the gun before working it out and most times that is obvious. If there is someone just being flat unreasonable that is also obvious. That is why some of the statistics say that one person will tell 24 people about a bad customer service....... Also that it takes 12 positive experiences to offset one unresolved negative experience. Like it, agree with it or not that is how things work.

No one wants or wishes to see GBody Parts go away from a bad decision, but at some point he does have to listen and learn from what rational people are saying and focus on problem solving and damage control. Also any arrest for anyone has "collateral consequences" especially for a business owner ...... If I get arrested and especially convicted my job is going to feel some sort of way about it even in the event that it was a total "misunderstanding". They may choose to let it go, make me explain it or to terminate business with me. If I am terminated then my next perspective employer will also form and opinion if they find out the past on me.... (you get the point). In most cases I cannot go to a police station and have someone arrested without a fair amount of proof a law was broken or just on my word. I know people will still say I don't know the real "story" and I speculating...... honestly at this point I am not sure if I need to.
Again my $.02

I agree with most of what you are saying in this post. It was you who brought the term "nut hugging" into this. I did nothing but paraphrase your own words, ergo the quotation marks.

What I did do was state that I thought your original post was only you "piling on" and that it brought nothing to the table. I even closed with wishing you a good night. I did not, however, resort to calling you names.

It's All Good...... I know your mad ...... :D:LOL:

My point to the "nut hugging" is that I see so many times that someone on here will share an experience on here........ not necessarily for Brian W. ...... but instantly several people will jump right on the band wagon (especially if they are well liked) and attack that person individually as if he just did not have an experience or not allowed to share it. It is almost like people are planted in the threads to reply to these threads. :banghead:

I wasnt piling on, but I do see what everyone else is saying and the perception of what is going on in this situation. I dont have an opinion one way or another about Brian sharing his story or not, I can only say what I would do and why. That is based on what I feel I owe people and maintaining credibility. I also was stating that it seems that people are making comments on here basically saying that we should not worry about his personal life or events (arrest)..... when we all know that realistically that is not how things work in the "real" world. Honestly, I am sure alot of people will continue to support him........ and my few comments are not intended to or will not change that.
Can't we all just get along??? ;):D

Precizion818- I think that you miss the point on some of this issue. Yes, I understand that people are inherently nosy; and these days with facebook, twitter and whatever other social media is out there people seem to feel entitled to know other people's personal business. And yes, I suppose that some people might find someones legal "issues" relevant to future business dealings. However, I think some folks here are putting the cart before the horse with rampant speculation.

The point that is missed is that in the "real" world (as you state above) arrest warrants can and regularly do issue solely on someones word- especially rural small towns. If you lived in my town I could go and swear a warrant on you for just about anything. The police would arrest you and you'd get your picture in the paper as well; regardless of innocence or guilt. Whatever happened later would probably not make the paper. How would you feel if everyone here (or worse- your friends and family) decided that you were a scumbag criminal because they saw that you had been accused of something? Accused is not the same as convicted.

Sadly, the legal system does not operate like we see on tv with everything wrapping up nicely in 30 minutes. The legal process takes time, lots of it. A good attorney will tell his client to not speak about a pending case. A good client will listen.

To my knowledge, the case is pending. That means that there has only been an accusation.

How can so many people rush to judge without knowing any facts?

Whether or not you like a person is irrelevant. What are the facts? If the facts are in the accusers favor, then there will be a conviction. If not, well... then what? Brian is supposed to come back here with half the Buick Community looking down their noses at him for having the audacity to get accused of something? Put yourself in his shoes. (damned if you do, damned if you don't)

I think before we resort to civil unrest, name calling, speculation and accusations we should think about this in a reasonable and rational matter. Eventually, the facts will be revealed. It's all public record.
 
When did he go to jail? Is this why I can't get anyone on the phone as of the last 6 months? I need to talk to him and I can't raise anyone on the phone :( Otherwise I had good luck with them.
 
I said I was going to reply any more to this...........

No points have been missed......What you just stated has not been missed. I get that whole process......... which is what I was getting to when I stated "... arrested and especially convicted". We all should understand that an arrest is not a conviction. I do understand that someone can make a statement and with some sort of probable cause (true or false) can be arrested. No one has called anyones persecuted, or accused anyone of anything. I never stated that I believe what was said or what he was arrested for...... honestly I don't care as you are correct that is his personal business. What some people have pointed out here is fact..... he has not posted anything on this site since it happened. Then the excuse comes that this "....poor guy " has soo much to deal with and "why would he come here if everyone is looking down their noses at him..............". Answer: because he is a business man that supports may of the people on this site. Honestly, If I was him, I would not be immediatey concerned about what you mfs thought about me on a personal level as long as you keep spending your money with me. And if this required some damage control then so be it, that doesnt not mean I owe anyone and explaination. It just seems like some people make all kinds of excuses for individuals to try to soften what it is.......... in the end he was arrested for something that was presented or appeared to be shady to someone. No one "profiled" him that led to an arrest......and I will admit, I DO NOT KNOW THE STORY. You can rally the troops to challenge me on this (as I can see that coming), but it is stil the same. I do not care what small town/villages you or anyone live in as I have had my experiences with that too..... probably more so than anyone. What we do know is he has been arrested plain and simple.......... that behind other situations that we all have read about on this site .......... is not a good look for business. Truth of the matter is If I am arrested today an people found out, I can talk and explain all day....... people will say/think "well you had to do something wrong" it is just what it is. If someone ask me ... Have you ever been to jail...... I say yes........ what would you all think immediately??? Well he has been to jail, but he is probably innocent...... he looks innocent becaue he has served me well over the years o_O......... I DON'T THINK SO...... it is not how a lot of mf's in society operate. If I get a DUI/OVI and go to jail, most people will believe that I had at least been drinking at the time.......... but not necessarily drunk behind the wheel.

With all that said........ I really do not care about all of his legal issues. If he is innocent he will have his day in court as everyone and beat the case (hopefully this is the case if it is unjust). Just so as long as when I order my parts and them arrive in a timely matter... that is all I care about. Apparently there has been some issues with that also, but not important for this discussion. Am I to believe that no one makes a connection to past events that have happened or been discussed? If that is the case, why do they keep and use criminal records against people everyday? Or is every situation is treated as an isolated incident? That is all that I am saying. Based upon what a good friend of mine says alot of times...... "Two's a pettern...." Hearing repetitious things will cause you to adjust your outlook for personal protection. I dont think that is necessarliy bashing anyone if you are stating the facts. Am I to believe that everyone says something about their experiences with Gbody is lying??? So someone simply mentioned that he disappeard from here to post on Facebook. With that being said, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE that he has said F@#k atleast a few of us.

I am done here..... I am going to do Like Brian W. and grab a beer and head over the Marketplace section..........;)

Several of you guys try to appear as some "The glass is half full....." type mf's in some cases......... lol

^^ You make some valid points. I won't argue that. "You only get one time to make a first impression". On the other hand, I feel pretty confident in presuming that none of us here are perfect little angels. Should our past indiscretions haunt us for the rest of our lives?

On another note, you do understand that it is "G Body Parts" not "Turbo Buick exclusively parts". As much as we may believe that "there can be only one" g-body, there are other groups of fanatics that believe otherwise. Maybe Brian has posted elsewhere because the sales are better? I have no idea but it seems reasonable to me. Maybe he doesn't post here for legal reasons. None of my business.

The only reason I have bothered to post is because it seemed like there was lots of speculation and conjecture but no facts. This is a forum for our beloved cars not for a bunch of angry wet hens to cluck about and spread gossip. I would like to think we're better than that.

Yes, I know several guys here have issues with Brian, the phones not being answered, shipping, etc... It's none of my business. If you don't like the man or the business he owns don't do business with him. It's that simple. (It's like people who complain about Howard Stern being crude and vulgar. He is. If you don't like it, change the channel.)

Not sure about the reference to m/f (Milk Fat?) in my half full glass... I try to be optimistic and the alternative is a drag.

I think you have the right idea though. Grab a cold beer, look for some new TR goodies and dream about warm days, sunny skies, and the glorious whine of the turbo.

See I think in the end, we are all saying some of the same things. I agree with pretty much everyting that you said. I know for a fact I am not perfect, so my point is if I do something stupid laugh at me..... hopefully I learn and grow from the embarassment alone ... lol ;)

Another thing you brought up and was a damn good point....... it is "G Body parts", not "Turbo Buick parts"......... That does bring a good point to light! I think I lost sight of that.

See while all you guy attacking me, why don't one of you come help me install my new -06an fuel return line so I can go for a cruise! Lol

It's generally hard to get him on the phone, but shoot an email to his aol account and he'll get back quick.
