Ferrari Service of Bedford!!!!

Please, cry me a river. Don't blame me for temperamental local mechanics that behave like entitled socialists. We have many similar regional mechanics that are sponsors like Norwood Performance, Competizione, and Groot's. It is a slap in the face of those that invest their hard earned dollars to expect the same for nothing. Just like an entitled socialist there are those that expect all the benefits without all the input.

We have discussed with David many times over the years what is allowed and not. The key point is David has purposely and with intent broken the guidelines. It isn't a case of receiving no warning, we have gone to great lengths to work with David, but he has gone to great lengths to work against us. There are a few like David and Rifle, but they are the exception. We have over 20 members in our private professional Ferrari Tech group that David or Rifle have never been members of. All the members are active and positive contributing members of the community. Yes there are a few bad apples and they may be OK offline, but there is no reason we should make exceptions for a couple toxic users online when their peers operate within the rules and guidelines without issue.

 

The joke is you are trying to argue when it is clear you don't know anything about our guidelines, history with David, or about all those in David's peer group who operate within the guidelines and without cry baby drama. Out of our 20 Professional Ferrari Tech users only about 5 are Sponsors. I have 60+ sponsors, I don't care about adding 1 more. It is simply about staying within same guidelines as everyone else and not trying to bully yourself into more than your fellow professional techs. Sponsors rightly get a few commercial perms because of what they invest and professional Ferrari techs do too, but rightly they aren't the exact same set of perms.

David isn't on temp ban for not being a sponsor, he's on temp ban for years of "treat me special" unruliness. This is about round 5 of trying to work it out with David and that is to level of temp ban.

 

Not sure what you mean, I call independent Ferrari shops all regional or I guess sometimes small local. I didn't mean to indicate any difference.

 

You are feeding off much misinformation or more likely you are trying to write a story to your own liking that is simply fictitious. There isn't a small private group of my friends. There is a group of 20+ professional Ferrari techs that are valuable members of the community, respected and trustworthy in their business, and more importantly they do it without drama or thinking they are special beyond their hard working peers. How many independent Ferrari shops are there in the states? The answer is not too many more than 20. Our group includes most of the big names everyone already knows. David would have been part of the group if not choosing to go rouge against the grain. There isn't a macro problem, it is unique and isolated.

 

no, there is a disconnect how David can choose to participate on FerrariChat and that there are guidelines you must follow after you choose. David was trying to set his own personal guidelines that were different from his fellow peers. He thought he was playing FerrariChat, but actually he was just disrespecting his fellow professional Ferrari techs.

everything is perfectly documented, there is a log of mod warnings and actions since the beginning that reference what the user did and how we worked with the user progressively from nice = bending over backwards to "I don't think the message is getting across" = trying to bend me over the other way.

you are not getting this part. I'm not talking about the masses of DIY guys offering advice, I'm talking about professional Ferrari techs that do this for a living. that is the qualification for the Professional Ferrari Tech group (no DIY'ers) along with being good ambassador for the community and meeting our guidelines. you are telling me guys like James Patterson, Wil Groot, Tom Bakowsky, Paul Newman, and Karl Troy among the 15 others "just think they know what they're doing". that is VERY disrespectful to guys that work on Ferraris for a living and are very helpful to our community staying within the guidelines while also receiving the benefits for the value they add.

Please tell me why David should be treated more special than the other Professional Ferrari Techs? That is simply what David is asking of FerrariChat and it sounds like you are too.

 

we have dozens of other professional Ferrari techs offering advice. they do it without crying, drama, bad mouthing, and breaking guidelines. still don't understand what makes David so entitled to be treated special over his professional peers?

LOL, David sends a plant to post, most the users posting only do so when something negative to say, and then after I bring some truth and reason to the thread you want to run with tail between your legs? If you can't walk the talk, then don't talk.

I didn't start this thread, I didn't make false accusations as the first posters in this thread did, and David knows how to contact me. It is no different Andrew won't approve my posts on FL. I use to defend FerrariChat in a respectable way on FL, but problem for Andrew I was making too much sense and it didn't fit the storyline of me and FerrariChat being evil. FL thrives off the FerrariChat lawless and past trolls. Even though our communities started the same time we have more activity in a day than they do in a month and they have been in a downward trend for a couple years while we haven’t. Can't beat the facts of the matter.

I usually have a policy of not saving users from themselves, but I will show some mercy on you and David, everyone knows how to contact me offline.
