It has dropped, was second last night when I tried it, any good reputation they had before this had disappeared, the only people that will buy them now is toss pots who should be driving a daihatsu Mira.

[Birds]

Unfortunately that loss of reputation, good or bad, can be tangible in court sometimes!

[W0rp3D]

Hopefully the judge will see that wayne was the one that started this incident in a public forum where he had no control over what damage may/has arisen from his "i have too much time on my hands" bull shit.

He has no links at all to car graphic so all the legal threats he threw out there were never tangeable.

The posting of the private emails wont do him any favours though.

Why would you buy a powerchip after reading autospeeds article.

Theor R & D is done on a shoe tring if any.

Julian Edgar's questions are not hard to follow but this guy is struggling.

As for him getting involved with the performance forum issue............why did he bother??? He should be testing his chips

[Birds]

Well that's it, I'm not that familiar with commercial law, but what Wayne will be standing on, if anything, is the damage to his company's reputation and the supposed harassment...that is, if you can attribute it to fault on part of the guy who posted the emails. I sincerely doubt he'll bring up the original legal issue he had with the classified ad, there are bigger (and more tangible) things to sue for now. Hopefully judge/magistrate acknowledges that Powerchip's reputation has come about for reasons other than solely the release of the private emails.

Dear Mr. Nazi mod/admin,

Pretty average form IMO.

AutoSpeed Interview: Powerchip's Wayne Besanko - Part 1

Hole. E. Crap.

Thats seriously bad.

Does PF have mods???? If any of our aforementioned "Nazi mods" saw that sort of carry on here no one would be on the forums for 10 days, and after editing the only part of each post left would be "Wayne Besanko"

Huh? What does that say? Maybe my eyes are getting old, but I dont understand.

Agreed but he's not exactly a tower of intellect either...

hahaha. Poor Wayne.

[evil_weevil]

it means PF lynch mob and mods dont give a shit while here its a bit more civilised!
