lol, are you trying to pit yourself against the whole EBMM forum. You made your point but I think this is where if you should stop, cause sorry you will not win a "battle of wits" or whatever you are doing against the whole board.
Wanna make a wager? I can be veerrry persuasive! lol
I agree, but I'm sure after I'm done posting the insults and diatribe will continue, regardless. I made my point and people can base their opinions based on both sides with or without posting.

Well, I think Big Poppa is an appropriate username. He is after all a father. He does have sons who work in the company. He is the boss of a family-run company. Makes sense to me. It's got a certain amount of humor to it too.
I think that BP has carried himself on this forum pretty well over those 7000+ posts. The shear number of them reflects how much time he likes to spend here with us. I thank him for that. Having met the man, I think he's a stand-up guy. Having dined and drank on BP's dollar, having heard entertainment arranged for by him, at no cost to me (except for my plane fare and hotel accomodations), well, I'd say that was pretty nice of the guy to invite me and all the other people on this forum to a couple of great parties. When I met him, the guy knew who I was before I even introduced myself, and he was very nice to everyone.
Yes, he heads a multimillion dollar company. The fact remains that it's his company and not yours. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't mind dissent, but he's going to make up his own mind about what deals get extended to what artists, what instruments are going into production, etc. He's not going to keep your counsel or mine. The problem is the insulting manner in which you express your dissent. Nobody is coming into your house calling you lazy and implying that you're overweight. That's what you're doing here. You're expecting what? Are you expecting to be treated like a king by the person you're insulting? Do you think you're going to be treated well if you walk into Microsoft's offices in Redmond and call Bill Gates fat and lazy? I don't think that's going to happen. Are you going to treat someone well if he or she walks in to your house unannounced and berates you? Personally, I'd kick such a person out of my house. I don't know about you. Do you want someone to come to your workplace and tell you how to do your job? This is the kind of thing you're doing here.

But you don't know what was offered do you?
This isn't an open forum, it is run and paid for by EBMM. If you want to criticise, you will find that a lot of people will disagree with you. If you want to bash the products, or the way in which the company is run, then I would politely suggest that this really isn't the place to do it.
Your posts have been fairly insulting and arrogant. Phrases like 'trust me I'm in the business' (paraphrasing a little) don't serve to add any weight to your opinions. Again, when you treat the owners of the boards like this, you will find lot of disagreement.
If you don't agree with something, then fine, but why bother going to the trouble of post after post attacking what you have no influence over? Just bite your lip and move along, if that means going to another company, then so be it.
Why can't we all just get along?
I think we all know who the flamer is here.
...and you're still on the EB Forum why?

thats what confuses me, there is no "both sides". There is the side that was handled between the company and Vinnie, and that is the only side. I hate saying this but in this case your opinion isn't valid. When it comes to calling us out on why a signature model wasn't made when you have no input from us, Vinnie or any reputable party that was remoltely involved in this deal. You are a passionate Vinnie fan who is rightfully disapointed....but I wouldn't say you have any insider information on how things were or are handled here. And that is where your in-valid opinion/side comes in. A valid opionion would be something along the lines of "Man...I'm bummed out that there isn't a Vinnie model being offered. I would of purchased one if it was available". You started calling us lazy and bringing up our business ettiquette thats why people jumped on you.
