Well Trent may be acting illegally and he may be a less than honest business man, based on what I have read from others experiences. However does this give give Gary the right to accuse him of an planned scheme to steal and also imply that Rusty has had a part in that? That's what a supposed honest businessman has done, accusing someone of improper and or illegal dealings without proof. Is this slander?

The fact is that I stand to gain nothing from this whereas it is in Garys interest to discredit his opposition, whether he has proof or just heard a few stories does not seem to matter.
Are these the actions of a professional and supposed good man?
Sure Gary might be good at what he does, heck he even himself says so, so it must be true. Perhaps that is a cultural difference but up here if you start going on about how good you are people will think you're a bit of a wally. I know a few people who will happily spend a few hours telling you how good they are and that makes for fascinating conversation.

I don't know the details of the divorce but I do know it spilt over into this list and it turned pretty ugly. And no I can't understand his actions, what did this list have to do with the split? If I was in his shoes and wanted to sell car parts to owners I would not be abusing my customers, instead be dealing with the situation privately, basically I think he threw a big tantrum in public, sure it might not have been the best part of his life but sometimes you just got walk away and cool off for a while.

The question here is not who started the list or what have you not, the point here is that Gary is not a good man, he is bitter individual who is hell bent on revenge. Of course sure I am making a terrible mistake and Gary is the good guy wanting to warn people about the evils of dealing with other parts vendors. Yeah right, this is the moment he has been hoping would come along and now he is making the most of it, if he was such a good guy why would he say: "i founded buymbparts 15 years ago and have watched it get more and more viciously crooked till it has reached the point where it is at now. even though i've had nothing to do with this company for many years now, these are sad days for me. i feel sort of like a parent whose child has run away from home and now i see him on the nightly news evolved into a hardened criminal"

Now that is strong stuff, he does not seem to care about destroying someone else or their livelihood (including the reputation of Rusty Cullens). What proof does he have of these "viciously crooked" things? I think the only thing he has is his believe that Rusty did the dirty on him, which we where all supposed to agree with and when some didn't he turned on us in a heart beat but no I got that wrong, Gary is a good guy and we are all vicious crooks evolving into hardened criminals.

If Gary is a good man he should have thought a lot harder about what he writes in public and how he treats people, especially those he has issues with. And I do not follow your logic, we should not have kicked Gary even though he was happy enough to kick back and now that it is his turn to do some kicking, he certainly wasted no time putting on the pointy boots. I see what he wrote on MBworld as a major kicking, perhaps Trent deserves it but my view is that a few kicks where aimed at Rusty as well, who is feeling very bad right now but no that's right Gary is the golden child and Rusty is the mean one.

Anyway we are all entitled to our view of the world, you reckon he is a good bloke who got done over, I reckon he has a mean streak that comes out now and then to play. What everyone else thinks is up to them but I do remember we gave him a fair chance on here to calm down and play nice but that did not happen.

Basically that is what I see, you're welcome to prove me wrong and tell us exactly what makes Gary such a good man, I don't see it right now but I do not have closed mind either.

Hendrik
who would love to say that Gary is a good bloke but needs more proof of this and no the ability to organise shipment of parts from A to B does not constitute good guy status

I find it very difficult to not respond to your comments Hendrik, as they
are quite strong.

Just a few basics:
  - I think we can all agree that Trent has taken several people's money and
not delivered anything.  Its been going on long enough for him to try to
make this right.  I can't imagine any excuse that would clear this at this
point, as nice as that would be.  And I can't imagine anyone here would
disagree with this.  I think its safe to say it:  hes a crook.
- I believe Gary is the best in the business.  I buy a lot of parts and
I've tried a lot of places.  Hes the only one that actually cares about
what he sells and delivers as promised.
- Gary has had his lively hood destroyed by a messy "divorce".  While he
acted in a way that offended many, I can understand his actions.  Put
yourself in his shoes.
- I'm certainly not looking to start a debate about who did what and who
started what, but consider this:  Rusty, Gary, and Richard together played
a significant role in creating this community and creating a successful
online parts business.  Anyone who knows the three for a long time would
agree:  None of them could have accomplished anything without the each
other.

I find the endless flow of destructive words by many of you against Gary to
be sickening.  All of you who are guilty of this should be ashamed of
yourself.  You continued to kick a man who was already down.  You believe
one sided stories that don't completely add up.

Everyone needs to stop and really think about whats going on here.  You're
making a terrible mistake.

And Hendrick:  its a shame you're so vocal about something which you hold
little or no stake in.  I hope you sleep well tonight, thinking about the
effects of your comments on the livelihood of a good man.

Completely disgusted,
Jaime

Perhaps but the point I was making is that Jabba might be trying to look
all professional and such but a pro doesn't accuse others of illegal
activities unless there is some sort of proof.
Basically he has accused Trent of being a crook based on a few complaints
on internet forums, plus also put a pretty big slur on Rusty.
My way of thinking is that I would not want to deal with such a character,
even if he had the best price and service, or even offered free shipping to
Oz.
Perhaps when Okiebenzparts.com gets up and going that great guy and good
friend Kaleb will do me great deal on a new muffler.

who only slurs after a few beers

Can't be sued for slander if you are speaking the facts as they are.
  Seems
Jabba the Hursty might be right on the money this time.
