The only forum where even more asskissing is demanded by the mods/admins is Manowar's offical "House Of Death" Forum manowarforum.proboards.com You should check it out just for the kicks of it. Watch the reactions even to posts in neutral tone. Check out the users "IronZephyr" and "Udo" there, they will remind you of (a) certain Fractal moderator, you know the one that literally is all-over-the-place.bstaley":1tmx5u1t said:

I think the long and the short of it is.
I got fucked
I fucked someone else
I am pissed
I am not pissed
I am sorry for getting mad at the FA and I feel sorry for them.
I am not as fucked as I started off to be.
I am ready to do it again
Lets put it this way, the release information was global - worldwide - AND simultaneous. Everyone who gave a shit had access to the same information at the same time. Just because I acted quickly in trying to move my product ahead of the rest of the herd doesn't make me unethical, it meant I scurried fast. There's a huge new market that's opened up now for affordable Standards and Ultras, I managed to sell mine fast.IHateRap":18vij7mk said:Exactly what I was thinking.jasonmwnf":18vij7mk said:Sooooo... you were upset that Fractal Audio released a surprise axe-fx II, went against your "business ethics", but you had no probs scooting to a new time zone and unloading your old axe before they knew about the announcement?

If you're trying to make a parallel between my actions and the 'unethical and non-transparent' actions of FAS, you can't. FAS withheld information then launched - boom - without warning and then stating that the Standards and Ultras will no longer be available. That's a LOT of information to get in 1 second. I. OTOH, listed my product on eBay internationally, and it just so happened to sell to someone overseas. Whoever bought it, had all the access to the information they wanted to about the launch, it was no mystery to anyone who was following the feeds.
Just sayin',

PS - and again, this ain't about me defending my position, it's about me pulling back on some bad blood that seemingly was directed at Cliff & Co. when in fact, it had nothing to do with him; or the Axe-II. Period. It's done, over, finito, finished, fin... Let's talk about cool shit, shall we??

Well duh,lol its those of us who love it that are complaining!
What are you doing reading this, go play your jmp and smile!
Well..it's like when you come across a car wreck...You don't wanna look but....ya just gotta!!!
If knowledge is publicized and available, that's not withholding. I did an OBO listing, got a couple bites, and took the best one. That's it that's all. Whenever I buy something of substantial cost, I do my due diligence, it is not my responsibility to do that for someone else. Furthermore, the confirmation I received was that the Ultras were about $500 more wherever this individual was trying to buy one, so it all, effectively, worked out. I've spoken to this consumer since - and all is well, 100% satisfied, stoked.cyndicate":2xkkc8r8 said:Ventura":2xkkc8r8 said:Lets put it this way, the release information was global - worldwide - AND simultaneous.

Believe it or not but I think you did the same thing. Did you clearly state in your sale that there is a new AXE-II coming out and thats the reason why you are selling it before other people catch on? The information might have been out there, but not everyone is probably aware that a Axe-II was coming out. So you pretty much withheld information from the buyer who in the end got fucked buying it, BUT if he clearly knew what he was getting then I retract my opinion of you as a hypocrite
