Here's what was said by Speedwake:

This thread has been closed and a number of merit-less posts made in an attempt to discredit and cast doubt on a highly qualified and well respected engine builder by a few garage mechanics with limited experience have been deleted.

If you have a serious legitimate question I fully support you when you ask them in a dignified and professional manner but when a member (a non supporter at that) whose true identity and motives are unknown, calls a supporting member and respected advertiser's post a bunch of BS, I draw the line.

This type of behavior will not be tolerated and if any of the offending parties try it again, you will be immediately banned.

If fraud is indeed proved then I wonder if Jeff would reconsider
the bans?

Jeff band me from there and I still can't get on. His loss not mine. I wouldn't support a web site that supports Roccard.

When confronted by long time members about this he cried like a biotch to the owners who declared that "no backyard mechanics would be allowed to dare to question a paid advertiser". Several people got banned from there, I left on my own as I could see there was no integrety and if lies were allowed to be perpetuated then I wasn't wasting my time.
I haven't been back on there in years, I'm sure he is still trying to find "new" customers, I'm not sure how many repeat customers he would have, Smitty

Bingo. Spot on Smitty. Left that site without shedding one tear. Did not truly know the meaning of the word "Tool" til getting to know the site owner. He did introduce me into a new business theme, "Paid Falsehoods".

I really hope he tries to defend himself. No way. He KNEW exactly what was going on, and he turned a "tool eye" and did nothing!!!

My point is fellow members, guys like Roccard exist when they are enabled to do so by Internet site owners and/or moderators.
