Just read this this whole thread and am kind of shocked at the back and forth and the arguments being made.

If someone anonymously writes you threatening messages without sincerely wanting to fix an issue or respond like a human being thats capable of having any sort of conversation why would anyone even give such person the time of day?

The person themselves clearly wants no part of a discussion or explanation or coming to an agreement.




I'm not saying no one should be having a discussion of what's acceptable in terms if posting deals etc but I don't see how that should have anything to do with this specific person and their unproductive ways of sending threats, and refusing to state their name.
Well said. This thread is absurd.

Like I said, he's unstable. This guy sounds like he has problems. The jaunts on Twitter were completely unprofessional. Anyone who actually cares to preserve the professionalism of their business wouldn't stoop to such levels.
Takes a cue from the president?

As long as I don't have to touch the politics thread, I'd be more than happy.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Why don’t y’all just send cease and desist letters to each other.
Companies names and registered agents are public data.
This sounds like two squirrels arguing over a nut. I know it’s more than that, but by leaving it all out here where every shnuck can input their opinion, makes light of the situation.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Based on user feedback I will lock this thread, to avoid feeding into the hand of trolls.

I appreciate all the support and feedback, this was just something that to be honest is scary to be threatened and it boggled my mind, so I wanted to see if there was something I was missing, but it seems not.

If said person would like to reply to the 2 very simple yes or no questions I presented he is welcome to, or be a real mentch and make a phone call, say who he is, and don't have double standards.

I suppose that ship has sailed as he was never actually interested in anything being accomplished or any sort of honesty with the situation. The "deals industry" has a standard, right or wrong, and it is how that person has done business since his inception, to now expect others to break that standard only when it's good for him, is of course ludicrous and borderline narcissistic if he even does really believe it to be the case.

I will leave these 2 here and @mbelsky is welcome to PM me a reply to get it posted:

1. Do you post where you get your deals from.

2. If you don't post where you get your deals from why do you think others should post when they get it from you.
