Bite my tongue?

[Milt Fitterman]

If it was Sears, Macy's, your car dealer or your roofer or plumber would you withhold his name?

That is what is wrong with the "gentleman's response" policy. You care more about hurting the feelings or embarrassment of the gunsmiths, and care less if a fellow PGCA member falls into the same trap. If I have a bad encounter with a smith and give him a reasonable amount of time, without added expense, to correct it and they don't, I will surely let everyone know who they are, by name.

So lets see if I have this right. Mark has had a bad experience with a gun shop known to members here. His work wasn't done to his satisfaction. He has communicated his displeasure privately with others and lo and behold some have had the same bad experiences.

He should A) Keep quiet so more people end up in the same position or B) Post the name of the shop/gunsmith and let people know of his bad experience. For warned is for armed.

I see no dirty laundry here but rather an avenue to prevent the disaster Mark has endured for the rest of us.
