I need to clarify something from my earlier "Members, please read" post.
Some of you seem to feel that I am suggesting censorship of anything that might reflect poorly on Tracker. I am not. Tracker's marketing department doesn't pay for this site. I do. It clearly states on the home page that it is acceptable to discuss flaws and problems with the boats and the company.
I am very anti-censorship. Through this recent controversy, I have not edited or deleted one message, despite the harm they may have caused to the web site's reputation.
My original message was about the very poor way in which members were representing their issues with Tracker. Personal insults. Less than examplary language. Including Tracker employees in off-color humor and inuendo.
We have had negative posts in the past about experiences with Tracker products and service, but they were presented with a degree of respect and self-restraint that did not reflect poorly on anyone. That is a key difference. I don't even consider such posts negative. They are simply statements of fact and opinion that require the attention of Tracker if they so choose after reading them on this site.
