So, I still don't have an answer to my question about Gearbanger101's statement:
Any further derogatory or defaming remarks or attempts to steer the thread in such a direction will result in thread closure and disciplinary action if deemed necessary!
If my status here is left to the whim of a mod who has consistently demonstrated disdain for member's opinions that disagree with his, I'd like to know it.
I'll kind of disagree with my having a hard-on for UPR. It's not just them. I have a hard-on for all companies that go out of their way to screw over their customers and their competitors. I'm all about fair play, buying American-made products and treating people the way that they treat others.
So, what I'm getting out of this is that Stangnet doesn't care if people come here looking for advice about a company and don't get told the whole story. We should all be good soldiers and toe the line and know nooooothing about anything bad from UPR, Granatelli, Blue Oval Industries, MAC or any other company selling marginal quality parts at cheap prices with bad or non-existant customer service. And if we dare to voice a dissenting opinion, The Canadian Colossus will smack us upside the head with the ban stick.
Got it.
