Oh and your an expert on whinging are you?

Mention A)
I can quite recall a post somewhere (not on WHT-AU) where you blatantly attacked a hosting company for what they had on offer and even more-so how you assumed to know so much information about their business, income, expenses, profit and even how things are going, when in actual fact, you knew very little, and although the name of *said* provider was not mentioned directly, it is clear who you were referencing by your posts....and a number of people agree.

Mention B)
I also recall another post where you did infact mention a company name, but we won't start that one again.

I'd be practising what you preach Mr Jonstone and take into account that there are eyes and ears everywhere.

Posting content to the nature of what you did in Mention A really showed your level of maturity, business morals and ethics.

You mentioned flaws....and I see yours...but that's a whole other story

Cheers,

Dale

Really? Well, given what I now know, it turns out I was right all along with my assumptions. But that's not what we're discussing here, and as usual you're trying to take a topic off topic.

Yep, I have had a public rant about one company in particular, but that rant was backed up with facts and published evidence, which has since been resolved in my favour by my bank no less, not by the other party.

When I didn't publish the evidence along with it, I was called a troll and a liar, and was said that I was only doing it to damage a competitor (even though on a retail level we don't compete, but anyway).

My reason for doing it was to warn others that they make get ripped off like I did. I've also had rants about Qantas, my room service in a hotel, even some people I know, but that's my right to an opinion.

Which is exactly why I am saying that not everybody is here with motives of malice or commercial gain. Some people just feel better that they have got something off their chest, others feel as if they are doing the community a service by letting others know of a potential pitfall, but that doesn't give people the right to assume that person is guilty of anything other then exercising an opinion.

There are many opinions that are given around the world every day, but in general terms if you don't agree with what someone is saying you register your own opinion or simply move on.

This person hasn't said "Oh, I left Net Logisitics and moved to Hightek Hosting, 'cos they're sooo much better", all they said is that they have been given poor service and a couple of semi-racist remarks.

The post doesn't suggest anything more than a rant over nothing, and in reality the only people commenting on it should be Karthick and the O.P., but as usual you came in with more of your "I'm not taking sides but.." diatribe that people are growing tired of... and a number of people agree with that, too.

Sorry James, I was busy enjoying dinner and drinks with my friends and workmates.

You may want to save the popcorn for something a little more worthy though, I can assure you that won't be in here.

Maybe people didnt wanna hear a massive rant like this

Not really, because im still enjoying my massive 70% off

Thought it had to do the unprofessional way that you responded to the issue actually.

Doesn't that contradict your first post...

Good for you.

You're quite right. I shouldn't have said anything, and then laughed when others were ripped off in the same way I was, and then be accused of not being part of the community for warning others.

Hmm.. now that I think about it, we're all screwed either way. Let's just all never say anything negative about anyone again. That ensures that everyone can do whatever they want and there will never be any repercussions for it.

Toto, are we in North Korea yet??

Again, it wasn't the content it was the tone and attitude.

So you're saying that you didn't disagree with what I had done, by warning others of a potential scam, but you didn't like my tone?

Alrighty.

And how is that any different to how this guy is being treated here?

You are saying that Defiant could possibly be a genuine customer who has had issues with his host, but because he came on to WebHostingTalk, a forum about web hosts, and voiced his opinion in public without publishing personal information that it's immediately worthy of a public dressing down, albeit by people like Dale who shouldn't even be involved?

Sorry Chris, but that's just wrong.

Don't get my original post confused with me siding with them by any means, I have a good deal of respect for Karthick and I would find it highly out of character if what Defiant is saying was 100% truth, and not 10% truth wrapped in 90% fiction.

But that doesn't take away their right to voice their opinion, and as I said, it should be left to Karthick and the O.P. to resolve the matter and have Karthick show in public what most in the industry already know, that he provides exemplary customer service to his customers.

ROFLMFAO!!!!

Oh your always good for a laugh Cheyne, I will give you credit for that!

I knew my post would start your bonfire and fire up the flares, so let's boogie!!

*fires up Boogie Wonderland - Earth Wind & Fire*

You really think that you know my business....oh **** that's a laugh if ever I have seen it!!

I know who/where your info is coming from....and what I will say is your "source" only knows the smallest portion of the business, so you can cut the "I know more about your business" crap with me.

Your constant disregard for anyone's business that isn't worth anything to you as a buyout is really starting to **** alot of people on these forums off....not the other way round.

Sure, you have a right to an opinion....but you really think I am referring to your blog? Come on Cheyne!

I will let you continue thinking you know everything, thinking thinking you can stand up be Mr Big n Tough, rule the roost and dominate the industry...but be careful, doorways are a set width of 790mm wide

It means that I am not bothered by your constant personal attacks, and I'm not going to waste more of my time responding to it.

I've stated my opinion on this matter, and I believe it should be left to Karthick and Deviant.
