Leftovers from the Second Skin drama...

greed.

The economy.....

Makes people do crazy shit.

Bottom line is just like eD and that whole situation, SS is still gonna sell. I'm sure that the people who KNOW the deal will never buy, but the man is entitled to make a living.

Only thing I found bogus was pricing the tiles lower than Rudy's when they came out. All that other stuff about reading emails and v-bugs I guess I would care about if I visited DIYMA.

I didnt read the whole thread, but as I see it there was some drama going on with ant? If anyone wants to PM me what happened, I'd be glad 2 year what happened.

Other than that, as far as I know ant's a great guy and a great businessman. He knows how to market, he knows how to make a great product and he's a nice guy in general. He's put thousands of dollars into that Realmofexcursion site to help get it back into shape. Business move or not, that's awesome for those guys.

Translation: Im too lazy to even research this thread, let alone use the search button. But Id be glad to read it if someone else wants to take their own time and effort to PM me about it.

I don't understand why the select few who have a problem with ANT think they deserve a grovelling session from him while he's on his knees.

If I were him, I'd do as has been done. Address them once, then never acknowledge them again. He shouldn't have to explain himself in EVERY ONE OF HIS THREADS that YOU poor hurt souls follow him into.

Rudy has moved on with life, and continued to do business, why can't you followers do the same? I understand the initial hub-ub over the whole situation, but to continue dragging it out, over and over and over and over again wreaks of teenage highschool drama. You not get enough attention earlier in life?

The poor hurt souls are in the minority. Apparently none of you shall ever own a business either, because you don't know how to bite your tongue. You're destined to be politicians, who will just constantly bring up the past and drag others name through the mud. Swift boat campaigning FTW! Congrats.

It is up to Anthony to decide if the negative attention is worth spending more time and effort addressing people's concerns. Your use of terms like groveling, and the notion that only a select few care, paint a false picture of what may really be happening in the market. Even within this very thread someone new to the story has sought to find out what happened, and more than one person has expressed concern over the allegations. Is this enough to warrant more answers from Ant? Only he can decide that, as Im sure he is more aware of how much of this type of thing he experiences on a regular basis than you or I are. Education, from both sides, should never be scorned imo.
edit: so long as that 'education' remains fair and accurate.

He has addressed nada... And so what his name gets muddy, he supplied the dirt and all the dampening //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Also, apparently in this thread, he still delivers the lies.

Yes, Congrats. Congrats Rudy. - miss that thread.

Because he continues to spam this forum, there buttercup. You're here all the time, I know you see it. What do you think this very thread is really about?

I don't particularly care to drag it out because it's over for me, but I like how JB and Audioholic give him zero breathing room because they've seen Ant exposed for who he really is. And since new customers are ever-present here, it's very convenient and tempting on both sides: Ant posts contests and announcements (spam), JB posts pics of cans of processed ham, and Audioholic espouses his animosity toward him cause he's aware like that. Tit for tat. If you're a real business and not a fake one, when you come out with a new product you put out a press release, not spam an internet forum.

I don't think they follow the dude around, they just help balance it out. I'm sure Ant would love for it to all die, but it never will cause he's chosen NOT to address the negative press. Either that, or those threads that do tell the truth (like the one's I've posted in) up and vanish like a toot in the wind. DIYMA's a different story: it's a complete fabrication of the truth as Heir Supreme here just decides what content gets seen and what doesn't. And it's beyond a business issue - it's an ethics and an honesty one.

Oh, and your appeal to the man being down on his knees in a bad economy is weaksause. He put himself there, not his "haters." Get a clue. Seems like the honest folk [read: Rudyboy] do well no matter the current economic trend as their stand up and offer a valuable product and service. You can treat the customer with respect and assume their intelligent, or you can try to take advantage of their shortcomings and ignorance. Guess who wins at the end of the day? Both financially and in the ability to live with one's self?

Might be the longest post nG has ever made. No cuss words either. Impressive.

You do realize That all of your campaigning is doing nothing but hurting your cause, right? If not, then continue. Internet activism holds no water with me. Had maybe you personally been wronged (other than the stuff done to you on diyma that I'm sure was a result of stirring the pot, going by your actions here) your opinion may have mattered more. You say ant is lying but quite frankly He has disclosed everything said here in a PM when I asked my first question. That is right, he has done more for me to form the opinion of him being wrong than you have.

You say spam, yet he is a PAYING ADVERTISER here. An approved sponsor by the owner/admin Chris Inman. My personal opinion is besides the point, but he pays to be here.

Unlike the plethora of other companies that promote their product here.

What cause? I'm just passing time. I have nothing to gain or lose from any of this.

Suckers will continue believe his bs and continue to buy unnecessay amounts of his products.

Some may think I'm posting because I'm "hurt" from simply being banned from his forum, but that's far from the truth. I had a chance to continue being a member of his forum, but choose not to, because I'd rather not support him in any way.

I've seen first hand the shadiness of ant's little bs tactics on his forums. Signatures magically changing. Dead honest reviews being altered and deleted.

What I was referring to about ant lying, is him saying that there's only a grain of truth about audioholic's supposedly exaggerated response. Non of it was fabricated or exaggerated.

From an outsider's prospective of ant's reply, it looks like he's calling audioholic a liar.

I know ant paid to advertise on the front page of ca.com, but does that also grant him the freedom to spam the forum section? If so, then kudos to him. Some clarification would be appreciated.
