Would you shop at Taffmiester's?

Does Taffmeister's have quality sales and service?

I have, and will again.

Wow only two ballots and in the no, I was actually thinking allot more people shop at taffy's ? The way he has been talking about his great service, one would have thought for sure the scale would be tipped right over. I am not surprised, though I might be. Goes to show you how many real supporters he has.

Dude. You are making yourself look like a petulent child with these threads. Lokking for everyone to back up your poor attitude. Grow up.

Maybe so, but this is what I choose to do. I have noticed you following each post and thread commenting on this. I do understand you don't want it or think it is correct and that's fine, but no need to start throwing stones telling me to grow up please. I am well educated and know what I am doing You have the option of going to other threads and post.

I have ordered quite a bit of product for my 390 and 550 with no issues

As some of you may be aware, I've created a thread about my own experience on this shop. For reference (http://husaberg.org/marketplace/20792-my-experience-taffmeisters-co-uk.html)

Summing up: I've previously made some orders on Taffmeisters and everything went well. Unfortunately the latest ones didn't go so smoothly. It was undoubtedly my 1st choice for Husaberg parts, now it's like my 3rd of 4th.

I'm not saying I won't buy anything else there, but first I'll make sure I can't order it from anywhere else.

Today I'm voting "no", I'd say "yes" a few years back.

the reason there isnt a more resounding no is that 90% of all the people who get ripped off and or abused don't come back to the site

result of your poll fe350 is that it looks like 11 people are still around to give a toss

there are very mechanically knowledgeable people on this site with thick enough skin not to have a hissy fit and leave at being abused. some ex berg dealers, machinists and engineers like me with a daily charge out rate higher than taffys credit card limit.

they wont be voting here so send them a PM and ask where they get parts.. its not the infamous garden shed in the UK

Spat my tea the length of the workshop when I read that Bushie!

I do all my shopping and engine work at Taffs

FE 350...take your miserable existence and F*** Off. We are all sick and tired of your childish nonsense and this forum is not a place to throw your toys out of your playpen!

Grow up!

It is getting to a point where I do not want to even open this forum, stop spoiling a great site in order to promote your superiority!

Seems like you are more disturbed than RSA political leaders....did not think possible

And yet another ******* just like Taffy

Rather an ******* than follow you!

Oh man. Hey, FE350, SunnyRSA is a good guy for sure. So now we're shooting each other. Let's not do that.

So I don't know what to do. It frustrates me to no end that the person I see with certainty to be the aggressor - again and again - that person gets objections from only a few people. But then when someone naturally reacts to that initiated aggression, 5 times more people tell the victim to stop reacting.

Admittedly, FE350, your reaction has gone too far. Let's rein this in. I'm with you in spirit but the medicine is too strong - it's polluting what we are trying to preserve.

In a way it's kind of understandable that FE350 gets more pushback because Taffy's attacks happen in-thread and are kind of hidden in the forum flow, and are spread out against a number of users.

FE350's response now has a bigger surface area and is more noticeable - and has gone too far in my opinion - but besides that it's not surprising that FE350 seems to be the reason, just because his head sticks out further.


One of the main reasons why I have a hard time ignoring Taffy's attacks is that he deliberately tries to isolate people socially and "cut them off from the herd" if he perceives his small boat to be rocked. Yes, deliberately - it may be subconscious or consciously done, but it's deliberate. He does it slyly - Rebukes newcomers aggressively and tries to paint a picture of himself as an authority. To me it comes across as trying to assert mindshare, behavior which originates in a fragile, very hungry and unchecked ego.

So what should we do then? What can we do?



There are two aspects - The message to the victim, and the message to the aggressor:

- As an example: When Taffy attacks a newcomer, in my opinion we need to get some kind of message to them. What can that message be? That they should just ignore him and not respond? I don't think we can just ignore everything and leave people to fend for themselves.

- Do we PM the victim? That seems so weird to me. I know it's happened a few times that people post a question thread. Taffy comes banging pots and pans. User gets a PM. It's just such a weird dissonance. Broken family behavior. Uncle's drunk and smashing the kitchen, and we're whispering to the guests that they should pretend not to see it! Just don't respond! He's just a bit tired! He's got a headache!

- Do we respond in-thread? That tends to go out of control, and derails/pollutes the thread.

- Do we respond off-thread in a "bad behavior" thread? Some kind of meta-discussion thread? At least it's bad to have many threads on the bad behavior of one user / the fight of two persons. Maybe one big thread in the offtopic forum?

So a proposed solution: If we see something that violates our sense of ethics and basic decent behavior, we post about it in a dedicated lets-work-things-out/venting thread and PM the victim to ask them to check there?



- Then there's the message to the aggressor. They need to be told to stop. I'm fairly sure that Taffy just doesn't respond to messages asking him to stop. Or ... It's against my intuition to just completely ignore aggressive out-of-bounds behavior. Does anyone have a story where aggression on a forum was just solved by ignoring bad behavior? I'm not asking cynically, I mean it. So what is the message to the aggressor? And how can we deliver it? We can tell, we can ask, and then we can punish.



At any rate let's try to keep the topics clean. I know I've said this before and I know I've broken that rule and said I was sorry and that I would stop. I'll try my best again. Just like I tried and tried and tried again to quit smoking until it stuck. Let's try again and again to get this train back on the tracks, learn something from this, and stick together OK?

I'm a newer Husaberg owner and have already appreciated advice and help I've received and will respond in kind when I can. I don't understand all these threads as they come across badly for both and seem to have gone past any reasonable limit for a grown-up. It's kind of similar to listening to my teenage sons fight over games - it gets so annoying and disruptive that I don't care who did what and just want the noise to stop.

I make a point about someone who is bullying and maybe take it a little to far, but do this as I am sick of it. I just want it to stop.

Then I am told to $%^& off as all I want is to be able to post without being pounded at by ONE individual. I have not attacked anyone else but the sole user of this issue we all have on this forum.

I agree that I should not throw back at other users, but they should not throw at me.
I will take your advise Tourist and ignore as yes this is the correct thing to do.

I am sorry SunnyRSA that I responded to your comment as I have not interacted with you prior. I will be the better man here as I realize your only acting out of frustration.

Let it die. I'll be onto taff for clutch plates as he seems the cheapest, I have never bought or talked to him before but he will be getting a call off me on monday. Starting annoying threads like this just seem childish

LOL, I like the picture and yes we are trying to let this die, I think ? But each time someone posts it comes alive again,

So for those who read this post and want this gone, than it will be if no more posting happens

Bump. TTT
