Yeah… on comments, re-read it in a different tone since “tone” can’t be read online. Learned that one here the hard way, trying to be silly and meaning no offense! No harm though, we’ll all see each other a Digital Dealer (?maybe) and have a good one!

Jeff/Alex- FYI- I believe portraying someone or entity incorrectly (negatively) in speech is slander, while malicious, false and defamatory portrayals in other forms of communication (written word, photos) is libel. all the same, bad stuff. Just FYI

Jeff –

Nice job reeling it back in; too many negative vibes ruins the focus of the community and keeps everyone off-point.

As a group, we have so much more to offer each other, and the industry, than simply complaining about something that is completely within our control.

Not happy with something? Change it & share your solutions.

Looking to bitch? Go to Rants & Raves on Craigslist.

Jeff continues to bring high-level discussions & idea sharing to the table – we can do the same…

Jeff – It does seem to create a lot of tension. I felt it was best that I posted the comment on there just recently.
We get so tied up on fighting for our products, defending them & hating on others. We tend to forget the passion for learning from others.

It was not 1 instance that made we want to revisit the Rules. But you are right Jon, everything there is a post about AutoTrader, the comments seem to run rampant.

I just felt a little too much negativity in the air and was hoping that a revisit to the rules would remind us all to be courteous when you might not agree with someone OR when you think “this would be a great time to just pimp my product”.

I’m sure it will simmer down here soon.

Hey Jeff,

I quite reading the Autotrader post a few days ago, did it get off track like it always does? It always seems like your “Rules” post comes out whenever there is an Autotrader post on the site.
