Sir,
First off, I'm not leaving. I'm just going to spend more time servicing my own members and I'll pop in here every now and then and see what is going on.
Secondly, I am a full grown man, not a kid. I have have made my way in this world and I am respected by almost everyone in my industry. I don't personally care how old someone is, that does not mean they have earned my respect just because of their age. If they worked hard in their youth and had something to show for it in their later years, then I generally show respect, otherwise I do not, and that is not to say that I disrespect them, I just do not allow them in my circles as any other successful person would not.
I am 35 years old and I am in a place of financial freedom that many have never reached at my age already. So I am quite successful and becoming more so everyday that goes by.
I agree, I am a trouble maker on Americanlifan.com and I do defend myself whenever someone takes my name in vain, such as China Riders, as I do not hide behind a screen name, I put my name out there for good or bad. But I will also note that I am generally respected and share a lot of the same members that are on China riders in my own forum.
The reason I have been so vocal on American Lifan's forum is the simple fact that they came into my forum and started mouthing off. When my members started asking tough questions they ran away and when they tried to shut me down, I banned them.
I have asked tough questions on American Lifan's forum and they have never answered me in four attempts and they ban me every time, but I have a way around that ban. Lately I have given up because it serves no purpose. Everyone knows about them now and their practices, they are not the future of the China bike business any longer in this country.
Furthermore, I am involved with the development of almost five hundred websites, for Banks, Stores and University's all over this country and even in some other country's so I don't understand why you would say I am a trouble maker everywhere I go on the net, I go many places on the net.
But I will never stand down to anyone who is not telling the truth about this China bike business as it is so young and still growing, although it is still vertical in a few years it will not be and the choices made today will affect the future.
You must also understand that before I started my site there was only a few portals for users to go to discuss their China Bikes and none of them were sport bike specific. This is why I started my site and it has been extremely successful, not in a monetary sense mind you but we have gone from under 100 hits to over 7.5 million per month in just over a year.
Trust me, I understand this business completely and I apologize if you thought I was hacking on you when in fact I thought it to be odd that someone would have an issue with language on a forum where there are no language filters.
I will still be around and I wish you good luck in your china bike endeavors.
