Vlad,

I really can't stand sitting here and watching this. Did you HONESTLY think when you made this sticky post that this wasn't going to happen?? What happened to your (I thought) sincere apology for banning me just because I was a BBB member and had never even posted on your site?

You had to know, that any mod that posted this was sure to get a response in this fashion. To sit there arrogantly and act as if you are innocent in all of this, well, it is mind-boggling! I honestly thought your email was sincere when you asked if we could "all get along". I come over here and read pages upon pages of ridiculing statements of us protecting one of our fellow members.

I hadn't posted anything until today. I was trying to get a feel for the board like I told you. After you banned me~ For absolutely no reason, using harsh profanities, I might add, you apologize and then counteract that with this post? The innocent front you are portraying here to your members is applauded. The Oscar's should be calling you. Stay by your phone.

And if I broke your forum's rules by learning about what happens on the BBB, you are more than welcome to strip me off my membership there. :rolleyes:

You didn't have membership there in the first place, you read the whole forum and you know it, you provided the link, if someone had posted you the link it would NOT have worked for you since you would have got a 'you are not a member' message when you pasted it into your browser, you were logged in to the forum. You logged in to confirm the allegations, then you got all bitter and twisted when you saw what had been written about YOU!

so not only were you spying, you are now lying about your methods to. I'm not making you out to be anything, I'm just stating the facts - plain and simple!

I grabbed this statement off this thread. How nice of Nicholas from Shining Monkey himself (beccak03) to show up and share his positive experience with the product. So kind to share his utterly unbiased opinion on the greatness of the product with our readers.

Good game pal, not gonna happen.

This, I don't like. I don't like the fact that they vouched for the product leading us to think that it came from an independent consumer. I am an independent consumer and liked what I got from the product and I certainly feel comfortable when others (not related to the company) have used the product and agrees with me. But not like this. I feel fooled somehow.

Thanks Vlad for letting us know too that someone have ruined their bags with the use of SM. So far I haven't ruined any of mine but I don't want to take the chance for the bags I am about to acquire.

Indeed, at a point it got personal and I was planning on removing every name associated with the BBB from our board. But I decided I was not going to let it be personal, hence I reinstated you and apologized for my remark.

This thread was about your precious friend, her business ethics and the way she conduced herself. If the tough BBB crowd wants to take it personally, flood in here and tell me how much of a prick I am - go ahead. You will see what is going to result from it.

Interesting. I was thinking the same thing about the posse that's been rounded up to show support of SM...... :laugh:

to be honest I don't give a hoot about SM, its a leather protector heavens sake, not a way of life! I just couldn't stand the holier-than-though attitude of some people who aren't so holy themselves.

But Vlad, how did you know I was a BBB in the first place? If you are on here speaking of ethics, how can you respond with blatent lies of how you got information?


go ahead. You will see what is going to result from it.

???? What is that supposed to mean?

I guess you are missing my point, you did take it personally WITH ME! I spoke nothing of shining monkey in my post. I am speaking of the way this whole situation is being handled. However, you may have your members fooled on how you "obtained information" off of the BBB. I just find it remarkable that I was on the BBB, 2 minutes later I was on here, logged in, and Poof a colorful display with descriptive... uh,,, words about how I had banished from your kingdom! Well, I took that personal as well. Your apology seems weak followed by these events.

Do you have proof of this? The information that was channeled to me did contain a lot of interesting stuff, including URIs and thread copies. I had no private login to your forum.

Think whatever you'd like, it is your business what you do on your forum, and if you think that I got bitter and twisted over some individuals calling me silly names... you are right. This changed when I came to my senses and realized that a bunch of individuals badmouthing me, my forum and my members were not worth my time.

Shall we get back to the original topic, please?

Funny thing is Tammy is quilty of this herself. Gaining access to a board she and her mates were banned from to spy on others and keep in touch with what was going on.

No, you are avoiding my point. Why on earth would you ban me??? I had never posted and 2 minutes after I posted on the BBB I closed the Internet window and came here. How did you know I was a BBB? Even if you didn't know, how did you feel so secure in cursing me with your banned page??
