Well, it didn't take very long for one of my comments to be deleted - i questioned the cost of the watch and the poster said money didn't matter to him. All I said in response was that if that was the case then I had a car for sale that he may be interested in.

That's it. Deleted??

This is 1984 happening in real time - Stuffler is rewriting history to suit his own needs. Wow, that's not a forum, it's Stuffler's backyard where he decides who comes in and what they say.

He can do one, as we say in England.

Honestly, I could be getting comments deleted but haven't truly been paying attention. Or engaging too much either.

The one thing that has bothered me most about Mike Stuffler is his Aloha watches thread on the Public Forum.
That thread just screams that he's getting kickbacks. Someone even called him out asking if the thread being sponsored content, but he said no.
But everything about it, especially his responses, just feels off. If he or WUS isn't getting a piece off the backend, I'd be shocked.

There are several members shilling for IG likes and kickbacks.

That doesn't seem very nice to "like" that someone got their watch collection stolen, no matter how much of a jerk that person might have been.

BTW: that is one reason I'm concerned that the cellular companies have been selling our location data. Since our ISPs can also sell our data, someone could start matching up enthusiasts forum members with their location data and start robbing them. Wouldn't be just watches. Other forums where people collect things, too. Not only could they figure out where we live by the location data, but also when we are often not home. Perfect setup.

I’m seeing another thread where the mod shared his thoughts then immediately locked the thread.

“I get to disagree with you and say what I want to say, you don’t”

No one was banned as far as I can tell but c’mon, just close the thread and go.

In the same boat. Not anxious to go back.

I think that’s your total points, not instances. I have 15.
