my apologies

Sometimes I have to really bite my tounge on this site.. Othertimes I just tell it how I see it and take the backlash that comes with having a opinion that normally dosen't mesh well with the general public on here. Now I've seen the pics read the thread and even responded in a simple fashion to this.



As I see it Todd really didn't do anything wrong. Yes he was told to take the high road and while most of the time I will very quickly point out when todd is being a holier than thou elitist in this case he was in my opinion very professional and didn't slam on holden at all. He presented actual facts that absoultly can not be disputed. For todd to take a ban on this instance is stupid and extreamly demeaning in this case. You're punishing a guy that clearly pointed out facts in a professional non degrading manner. There was about a dozen or so other guys in that thread that went off. Did Todd plant the seed for that to happen? In a way sure I guess. But he can't be held responsible for everyone's reactions. We all have to act like adults and be professional. For us to act in a different manner shouldn't reflect on Todd at all. He's not our keeper but he's being punished like he is. That is plain Bad business. Considering how many people come to this site to see Todd's latest work I think this is going to hinder things a bit.



Now as far as holden goes. The kid got in way over his head and let his ego get in his own way. It's happened to alot of people on here and will again. I will not doubt for a minute that in this piticuler case the kid messed up big time. But how many C&B's has he done were he got nothing but high praise and acknowlegements from you very people? Tons. He may not be ready for the exotics and he may be shady when trying to cross borders but up until this moment most of you actually like what he put up. Only the top guys really noticed that he was probably claiming to be better than he actually was. But I think he has certian skill sets that will allow him to continue to profit from detailing. If he cleans up his act gets his own ego out of the way and plays right he could do quite well at normal volume detailing I think. He's better than alot of other detailers I personally know just by what i've seen. This was one HUGE mistake by him. Hopefully he can get past this. but we've all made mistakes. But it's not like everything he's ever posted is now "Hacked" because of one mistake. Hopefully he dosen't rely on the internet to get most of his work. And hopefully he gets back on track and gets passed this ugly page in his life.
 
To clarify I am posting this from another thread.



I appericate the support guys and I believe David has the tough role of making the best decisions for the longevity of his site vs. popular opinion. I'm cool either ways!

Thanks! David and I spoke in PM's and at one point he asked (politely I might add, we had a nice, respectful discussion and like I said earlier, I am comfortable with the decision. My discussions with David where top-notch and I have more respect for him then previous even) if I would be willing to volunteer for a 60 day time out. He is in a tough position.



I am slightly confused as well, so perhaps David decided otherwise. Again he asked if I was willing to volunteer vs. that I was for sure going to. Either ways I am cool, running a business such as this is as tough as it comes to making difficult decisions which may upset some members but will better for the website as a whole (i.e, I'd rather disagree with a decision but still have a forum to visit, vs. not have a forum at all because difficult decisions where not made and lead to further problems).
 
When you come back please post some awesome pics. Sorry to see you get a time out. Looks like things got a little angry. Keep detailing and do what you do take care todd.
 
The important thing to learn about this whole situation is that if you perform substandard work and make no attempt to correct the problems, you will be found out.
 
:clap:I'm still here guys, jeeze. As I explained David asked me IF I would consider the ban, vs. saying he was going to implement one. I agreed, thats all.



We had a great conversation thru PM's which I have even more respect for the man. He is a guy in a tough spot making decisions on based on a gray area.



Thanks for the support and remember that David is doing the best he can to protect this sight.

ok guys this is my apologies to tyler holdon or holdon_c4. now i know this thread is for before and afters but i think my apologie will be seen more here so i posted it here! over the last few days we all know and seen what has become of this guy. me at the moment got caught up in a frenzie of this guy who beliitled other members and truthfully i think hurt an image as a PROFESSIONAL DETAILER. by no means am i saying im the best nor do i portray that. what i am saying is i dedicated the last 11 years to this business and over time i have suffered from beginers who say i can do this and ruin a car, and then hurt the image of other detailers who make a living and put food on there plates, and family members plates by honest hardwork in this business. ill admit i over reactted and trashed this kid for the things i thought he did wrong. ill admit i still feel what he did was wrong, but my apology is for my over reacting and not being professional about it. instaed of offering some advice i belittled him. to me im just as much of a culprit as he is. so tyler i am sorry. i was raised to have integrity and i stand by it! i will learn from this and hopefully you and others do. so in the mean time thank you for reading this. again im sorry!



barry!



Did Tyler ever accept your appology? I know you & him were pretty tight. :sign



Is it true he's coming to PA to help you do some upcoming Lambos?
