Real Technical Trolls
There is an excellent article in this month's "Mustang Times" (The Mustang Club of America) monthly magazine. I'm sure we have all "suspected," at one time or another, that a thread on this board - or another board - seemed "out of balance negative" and seemed to lack "genuine detail." Also we have seen problems "proclaimed" but professional help from the Ford Rep refused???? In the article, in this month's Mustang Times, by John Chlor - a journalist, he reveals that he was approached, by a foreign car manufacturer, to post "provocative threads" - falsely complaining about problems with "Fords." Having been an employee of Ford SVT, he was in a good position to "fabricate" problem posts for the internet boards. This was all part of a program to create "grass roots dissatisfaction" with Ford products (If someone says they have a problem, maybe I do too). A good reminder that "everything that glitters is not gold!" And, the phrase "I read it on the internet" has very little value as "proof."
