neelsaddlery Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Hello All: Just wanted to drop another line about what I said in my previous post. I made a comment on "character assassination" in my post made last night. This comment was NOT directed for or against any party. I got the feeling after I re-read my post that certain contributing parties to this forum might be offended by this comment, so I just wanted to provide some additional clarification on this point. This comment regarding "charater assassination" was made to simply express my fears as to what COULD HAPPEN if we continue to make plugs about why our machines are better than others in a public setting such as this. Steve Tayrien of Cobra put a post on the web forum regarding his feelings of friendship for myself and Bob Kovar. Let me go on the record as saying that I also think very highly of Steve. Steve is a good person, and I like him a lot. I have no ill feelings for him whatsoever. Steve and I talk at all of the shows we are at. I have told Steve that I wish him well with his new startup business. However, I really think this forum needs to maintain strict neutrality on the subject of what machine is the best choice for which consumer. I do not think pricing should be mentioned, I do not think comments should be made about who has what gorgeous needle plates and presser feet and all of that stuff. I do not think any super sales or the reasons for such sales should be posted as well. I also think we should keep phone numbers, contact information, websites, and all of that other stuff off here also. But hey, if everybody else can do it, then I will too!!!!!! Comments made about how to improve, maintain, modify, service, and repair all makes and models of sewing machines should be welcomed by the board. These are things that will improve any owner's experience with any machine they buy, no matter who it came from. This is just my two cents worth, and I do sincerely apologize if my comments offend, will offend, or have offended any party involved. Kindest Regards, Ryan O.
