Sounds like you've got a lot of anger built up against him.
I'm not defending nor attacking MRL, not my place too.
That said,i was burnt by a shop that had been in business nearly 35 years and had a great rep locally. That shop destroyed my 440 block and pretty much told me to shove it. So I don't think we can go by length of time in the business either. It's almost like playing Russian Roulette but instead of there being just one loaded round, there's 5.
didn't even read your whole post I stopped when you said it sounds like I got some anger against him, well it's not against him it's against all the people like him. Complete poser, fake it to make it, those are the people I'm talking about.
