I'm not anywhere near the point of being an active member here on supramania, but I'm on SF. I just don't know enough people here to troll these forums.
I met Jonathan about a year ago when I first got my MKIV. Great guy to hang out with, talk to and do any sort of business from my experience.
My only criticism on him, and it goes for me as well, is it did take him a while to pay me back on a part I gave him. But I did not set a time limit on when he could pay me back, I just simply said give it to me when you can. He did, with no problems and an apology. But like I said, it goes for myself as well because I never put a limit on a time scale and he still apologized.
I can fully agree with 2yoduhJZ about his uncanny ability to help anyone that he knows in any way that he can. He will take any time that he has rather than do what he wants to help you. He enjoys helping other people with their cars, and most of us do. Well, except for me because I've got a fucked up arm. But I'll get the wrench for you! lol
Starting to get off track, and getting back on it now. As far as what happened in 2008. The past is the past but Jonathan is trying to rectify it all to any extent possible. Paying back people and not taking back said parts; taking back parts and making sure the parts that he sold were perfect for whomever. I've had and heard many discussions on this topic and harassed him relentlessly about it. He took it to heart from everyone here and everyone that knows him and has talked to him about it in person to know that its not the route he wants to go with anyone either in person or via supramania. That's just not the person he is in my mind.
As far as letting him back on supramania. I'll vouch for sure and I say let him get back on here, and have the admins either completely revoke, or monitor to great length, his ability to sell anything big or small. To my knowledge I don't believe he cares to sell anything because of this fiasco, so either way would seem fine in my mind and what I know about him and his standpoint.
