Looks like I can't, shouldn't and won't be posting things like this in the future.

Here's hoping the rep doesn't get in trouble / the store's relationship with said rep isn't damaged.

Nicely done there.  Just because someone posts something on the internet doesn't mean it is a good idea to e re-post elsewhere.  The way something is written and worded for a local community on that communities site is not necessarily the way it should be posted for a much larger audience.  Permission to re-post is a common courtesy.

Chase - maybe take down the post? Then ask to have that one removed? I know its good for the community to see this stuff but if there is a chance its bad for the store then you need to protect your relationship with GW.

[andalucien]

Yeah if someone sent that to Faeit, would have been polite to ask Chase's consent.

On the other hand, this forum isn't password protected, and it sounds like the Rep specifically asked you to spread this information to your customer base, right Chase?  If he asks you to distribute this info, and then he gets in trouble when the internet finds out about it, it's on him.

I've been in touch with the guys at Natfka.  They are taking down my name, the stores name, and the link to this thread.

I don't care if people see it / read it, I just don't want the rep to get in trouble or the store's relationship with him damaged.  Those guys do read the same stuff you/we do.

Exactly correct.

[Chase]

Also, apparently it reads a lot worse to people that aren't me than it should.  I actually thought it was a good, encouraging convo, for the most part.

[Sir_Prometheus]

Huh. WIth the store/region removed, I don't think it will be that big a deal. 

Anyway, no, I think most of us looked at it as a very discouraging set of statements, Chase.  Like confirms your worst fears, stuff y'knew was true but really hoping wasn't. 

[Grand Master Steve]

its interesting to see responces of people out side the store cumminity though

[Cryptognomicon]

I thought the post was rather encouraging myself.

[robpro]

I thought it was fairly encouraging and I'm glad you posted it. I'm surprised they would post a direct link source for that and paste it verbatim, you would think they'd paraphrase.
