The post that I was replying to was quite different then the text that I see now, because you changed it from simply describing the paint as in "good condition". All I saw was restoration photos in perfect condition that got my interest piqued, which matched your description, again, originally listed as simply "good condition". When I looked back I saw an update with links to new photographs of blooming rust. In my mind I thought, "This is good condition? This doesn't look anything like the restoration photos".
I guess I didn't go to check that the original post describing the paint in good condition was changed to what is now currently up there, a more accurate assessment of the situation. I suppose in that light that my reaction might seem to be a bit of a hyperbole, but from what I originally read to what that says now I can tell you that it was different and from what it said before I believe that my reaction was appropriate given the circumstances.
You apparently would not describe that as deceitful, but in my book advertising a truck with fresh restoration photos and describing the paint as in good condition might be assessed as deceitful compared to revised description you now list accompanying photographs of a rusting paintjob.
Your passive-aggressive implication that I am inexperienced by presentation of your logical fallacy citing the length of your digital reputation as an exclusive factor of my real life experience as a mechanic is shameful at best. I should have chose a more mellow first post, and then people would probably like me more and I do feel bad about making anyone else on this forum upset, but I was reacting genuinely. This especially holds true when you admit to yourself that you changed your internet ad (often directed at long distance buyers who have to "take your word for it") rather dramatically rather recently, and then came down on me for reacting surprised about the aforementioned sequence of events. I can tell you that if I was looking at your truck before that I wouldn't be considering it any longer after a change like that, as I would fear another round of more clarified information regarding the condition of the vehicle or other "little" "oh-by-the-ways".
