Transmission war threads

I truly don't believe there are any tranny war threads, I think it all comes down to one company trying to persuade everyone on the TDR to buy their products.

I have no problem with a company telling us about a product but that's where they should leave it, just tell us and go, don't sit on this paid membership site and drill us to no end about something. It begins to look more like free advertising and that is not what the TDR is about. If someone wants advertising go to the advertising section and pay for it along with everyone else.

As far as parts go I don't care who's parts anyone use's, I am not a firm believer in anyones parts as all parts are man made and will break with enough stress or time. I really could care less if anyone uses bd-power parts. I really could care less if bd-power went out of business. What I do care about is new members coming on this site and being subjected to one sided selling techniques from one company. If the members who say they care the most about the other members would give open information on a variety of makers of the same parts then I think any thread war could be avoided. I have done this in just about every thread where someone asks for information about a product, yet I do not see it coming from one select group on the TDR.

This is my opinion, and like farts, some stink and some don't.
