Ott,

Once again you simply put your foot in your own mouth. Ron came here originally to promote Blazetrak on his own. A simple click of his name and a look at his own self created posts will see that. You'll also find I treated him nicely and with respect on those posts. But this post exposed some concerns which led to more discussion and then direct back and forth.

It was when Ron acted with huge disrespect towards me that I lost respect for him. I made him a very generous offer in good faith with nothing to gain for myself. He could have said "How about instead we do X, Y or Z to demonstrate we're not just a vanity site etc." and at least that would have furthered the discussion, which in my experience honest companies with concerns would do. What you would NOT do is insult the owner of the site you are currently profiting off of (and I stand 100% by the comment which you quoted) because I am the one who put in the work to make this community exist and I expect if you want to come here and use my site or the programs offered in JPF you'll be a positive part and not a leech. We run leeches off of here all the time. Because up until now Ron had been professional and polite, I gave him every opportunity to demonstrate he was offering value over vanity. Had you read my post without the pre-bias you have against me, you'd have come to a different conclusion. I disagree daily with both Jim and Nite but when they are right, they are right. And when the others you mention are wrong, they are wrong. I made my argument and left everyone's comments here pro and con for rational people to make their own choices. According to Ron, my opinion means nothing to anyone in terms of support or non-support of his company. I find it offensive then that he came to my site to USE us rather than add something of value to the community in return for promoting what he was doing. When the time came for real transparency due to concerns raised, he declined and made no counter. I believe that is because his site offers nothing more than a pricey (far above market value) critique from a famous person for vanity purposes. He makes no other claims and thus, I can't see how any of my conclusions differ from his own admissions other than he thinks it's worth it and I do not.

On this single post Ott you've made ridiculous claims multiple times that were false. It's not just that you are wrong, it's that you are ignorant with an agenda. I warned you before and for a short time you dialed it back. But like the scorpion in the old tale, you just can't change your nature and I am no frog willing to let you ride on my back across the river waiting for your next attempt to sting. So as I promised you, you are taking a vacation from our site. Have a nice time elsewhere.

Brian
