I agree. This is not just a disagreement with a vendor, it's really a problem with people in our community that involves what $10K or $20K of dollars. It could involve any of us. This is much more than a vendor issue. These are the type of things we as a community need to address. There are two sides of the story, but this is really larger than send back my $300 and I'll send your wheel back.
He was not slamming a vendor. He was asking, what would you do if you were in my situation? Good question for all of us to be able to ask.
