Bite my tongue?

This one is indeed a quandary and a tough one to wrestle with on moral grounds and maybe even a challenge to someones faith and sense of justice, hence there might not be a right or wrong answer but more of what do you think or feel. It is definitely a strong philosophical debate that will challenge most of the gray matter on any forum, maybe this one even more so and mind always justifies the heart. If the offense happened to a Parker then this is the right place to vent and some of the boys on here will be ready to form a posse to extract some vigilante justice, and it might be warranted. Not familiar with pictures you posted or your plight and maybe that guy should not work on anymore Parkers. It is still a buyer beware world.

My view is that any comment I make on a forum should be the same comment I would be willing to yell to the crowd from a street corner. In essence that is what a forum virtually functions as and maybe that should be your guide. BTW I am no attorney but whatever you do or say could come back to haunt you, just saying. I remind my kids all the time they don't need facebook or twitter and all that stuff because what ever you post on line is out there almost for eternity and they should be mindful. Its a different world than what we all grew up in, and it definitely is not any kinder just faster and never forgets or forgives.

I find the best way to express my displeasure with the services of an individual which I have previously hired is to say, I would not hire that individual again. In the case of gunsmiths, by refusing to elaborate you have protected yourself and communicated a warning.

Im a Plumber of about 33 years owned my own business for some time Was a member of the BBB and never had any problems . If someone had a problem with your work they might contact the BBB and your name was everywhere , Why cant we disclose these problems with gunsmiths ?

Can facts not be laid out, without becoming disparaging, or insulting? How about constructive criticism of an otherwise upstanding company?
Everyone makes mistakes now and then, no matter how otherwise stand-up they normally are.
The mark of a truly great business man is how he deals with his mistakes.

Amen

Not knowing who we're talking about. I'm guessing we're talking about an otherwise decent company.
I think if we were talking about Terry the Torch, or Hacksaw Hamhand, we would be having a different conversation.

If the subject gunsmith has been a well-respected and highly esteemed craftsman who may have done excellent work for possibly a great many of us, why would we necessarily shun him and point out his misgivings and possible misfortunes? Why wouldn't we as gentlemen, and more likely as Christians, offer our help in getting his business back to the standards he has always espoused? It seems something in his business has taken a turn for the worse and his customers may have been made to bear the brunt of it. I would certainly offer my assistance if I, or he, thought that I could.
