The person who dared has tried to undermine my hats since day one"
Well, that's the free market for ya......
Not that I think his little barbs appear to do much to hurt you or your business Steve....
I am all for a free market. But, we have truth in advertising laws here. That is one point. The next point is, partiscipating in a free market never allowed for personal threats, threats of sending someone to your house to do you in, or in the case of one guy, calling his employer and trying to get him fired. This is far beyond the pale of a free market. This is only one of scores of things this guy has done. It is underhanded, and not to speak up about it is cowardly. I am no coward. On the truth of advertising, no one has called him on it, because he is such a little fish in a big sea. But his whole line of hats is built upon fabrications. He is not truthful in his advertising, in this free market. That hurts every hatter, because he is only one of one that does this. I despise his sales techniques, I despise his underhanded attacks and lies, and I despise it when he attacks the ladies. When he attacked Holly at COW, he was promptly kicked off. He cannot be a member of any forum except his own for any length of time. I used to feel sorry for him, as I figured he wasn't quite bright, a burger short of a happy meal, but I dunno so much about that anymore. I think he is just a rotten human being, period. And rotten to the core.
His barbs do nothing to hurt my business. Never have, never will. It is just the principle of the matter that gets to me. With that, I will just forget about this and move on. Sorry for the disruption. Steve
