I'm fully cognizant of what is said in this thread and could frankly speak quite a bit on a lot of what is presented, but I keep my mouth shut out of respect for Brundel's subsection. Similarly, I could say a lot about MAN but I keep my mouth shut because several months ago, you and I exchanged PMs saying we would stop bashing each other's companies. Since that day, have you seen me say a word about MAN? That is also out of respect for you. It is our PM exchange, and ours alone, that makes me take a step back before saying something that goes against my word.
Brundel is free to bash PES to his mighty heart's content since this is his section. However, I had higher expectations of you, specifically with regard to honoring your word. It's a matter of respect, and I'd rather not lose my respect towards you over simple "company wars" or whatever this has turned into.
I dont even know what MAN sports is for the record so this doesnt apply to me at least. In addition Im not responsible for the posts of others.
Keep in mind we have only 1 rep and hes pretty quiet and I dont believe has ever said a negative word about anyone. If someone other than me speaks about PES or anyone its their own opinion. Also just because someone is in this thread and supports us doesnt mean when they make negative statements about PES or anyone else it is me or my company doing so. Sometimes people dont like products and they like others. This is beyond my control outside of my personal attempts to make quality products.
As for me I dont go out of my way to bash PES. I only support that we tested arimistane multiple times using bloodwork and it failed 100% to do anything but alter liver enzymes. This isnt PES bashing its just a fact about an ingredient we tested with the intent to use in a supplement. Since this ingredient is no longer being used by PES its not bashing them to say it doesnt work. Ive bit my tongue with regards to the new formulation and only opened my mouth when you provoked it.
Believe it or not Im trying to avoid openly bashing them or arguing with you.
Its not gonna get us anything good. We both have to co exist here and you and I arguing just makes us look like children.
Ive done my best to not start arguments or direct negative statements toward you or them.
I assure you there is ALOT I can say as well. There are things I know most dont but I refrain in order to prevent us muddying up otherwise fruitful threads and to maintain a level of dignity within this space. I moderate other forums as well more than 1 with over 100k members as Ive been on these forums for decades. I know well how to keep peace and wage wars.
Ive even avoided going into SNS forums and ripping them a new one based upon the stupidity of one of their reps.
I keep most of my opinions here.
Shortly my presence as well as the presence of my company on these forums will increase dramatically.
Ill do my best to avoid bashing others and Ill avoid arguing with you, but, I reserve the right to defend myself and my brand when necessary and will do so when provoked.
