The most telling part of this article and the discussion is not the little surprise but John’s own conduct. He acts like a five year old and changes direction more than a two year old in a candy store. Read this and see for yourself.

Agreed... John's response was to post excerpts from my article on his website in an attempt to make me look like the crook. He was, of course, wildly unsuccessful as I have never had any personal or business disagreement with him (other than the truthfulness of my news story.)

My original intention was to educate and inform the Trainz Community about TER's business practices. Unfortunately, the childish discussion that followed was perceived by Auran as a personal attack on John by the time they became aware of the situation.

Auran's reaction was to remove all references to my article and any discussion about John from the Trainz Forum instead of allowing their customer base to be appropriately warned about TER.

I have, to date, never received any formal warnings or bans of any sort from Auran with regards to the Trainz Community... even when I reported negatively about them.

I am awful sorry to hear about your experience, and at the same time feel oddly vindicated for having posted such a negative article about TER and John; there are those that thought my report was complete crap.

Good luck in the future, and keep your chin up. Thanks for helping make Trainz a safer place for all of us.

John has many fan boys from all areas and since opening this site they have come out of the wood work and attacked. I thank you for your support and posting here, it is the communities need for information to weight on their own that I started this for.

At present my main account is banned because I advertised this site (which has content for release on it) in my sig. I asked how they wanted me to rephrase it and they banned me for questioning their authority.

John has dropped off the radar but his business partners have pressed me to remove the site.

Don't even consider it!

Hey Red,

Sleep well, my friend.

So apparently Backyard is the "tracklayer-signalman" that John hired. lol Interesting.

Yes, he is. He also does some of John's DEM's from what Allen has told me too.

Well from what the two have told me, Allen makes a buck a mile. They seem loyal to one another.
