^ Got screwed by them, and you still bought their stuff at a discount or free (Morals galore bro)... and I'm naive. Sounds like a love hate situation to me. And there's nothing like the feeling of stepping all over a dead man's company's grave, eh?!
You boys want to keep on quoting my post and talking? I'm game. Never mind. You win.
I promise to never buy their stuff again. lol.
Damn. I wish I had some Max Reps. I imagine it was like... crack.
Morals, not exactly sure how that has anything to do with morals... Got screwed by the company, yep, but they still had solid products which I never said they didn't. So being a consumer in need, I get what I needed for the best deal... Hmmm... nothing morale about that at all... When they were selling their Aminos for pennies on the dollar which was actually a loss to them you are damn straight I bought them up... Same with when they were dropping Anabolic Pump for 10 bucks I picked up a few bottles... That has nothing to do with morals that has to do with being an intelligent consumer. As a matter of fact it shows that I am not bound by my pride to the point of losing out on a good deal which would be unintelligent... That's not a moral decision it is a budgetary one...
I can also tell you where I wasn't for the last several years. I wasn't involved in any of the challenges, logs or gift receiving. The last USP stuff I got was given to me by other board members. I did not support the company in any way other than when it benefited me with an amazing value like the ones I mentioned above.
Stepping all over a dead man's company's grave... WHAT does that even mean. I am pretty sure the owners are still alive... and the company is now defunct by the owners admission of guilt... So... you can try to defend their virtue all you want but guess what. It doesn't change reality... It was the same lack of integrity they had in dealing with me that caused them to go under. So HA to the MUTHA FUGGIN HA! That is some funny and karmic stuff right there... LOL!!! So guess what... I am going to enjoy it!!!
As far as being naive, if you honestly believe they were not trying to market themselves via the charitable donations / generosity on line then you are indeed naive. That would be a real shock considering you yourself are a part of your companies marketing campaign, and every nice thing you set up to do or arrange for a consumer on behalf of the company is marketing tactics... Every bit of advice you give, even when not related to your company, every time you get an extra bottle sent to someone who is logging. All of that is marketing for the company, and will be until you no longer have the companies name in your signature. That may not be your intention but it is damn sure why it gets approved and pushed through... it is the reason for Forum Reps at all... Every single thing you do personally to help your buddies online also markets the company. That is why you are a rep. That's how all of this works. Supplement companies have really cornered the market on damn near free marketing. Giving away 30-60$ worth of at cost product to get reps to work anywhere between 10-100 hours a month. So that is anywhere from pennies an hour all the way up to well, below minimum wage per hour depending on the dedication level of the reps which is normally pretty high at first and you can squeeze out tons of hours of online marketing for much less than $1.00 an hour... However people take pride in being a rep which is why they do all that work for next to nothing. That or they have no idea the ridiculous mark up on the supps and have no idea the company is literally paying very little to them at all.
By the way, you are the one calling people haters, then calling grown men boys because they aren't humping the same leg you are on... this is twice you tried to turn a normal conversation into something negative. Grow up... your heroes weren't that virtuous. WAAAAHHHH.... My opinion doesn't fit yours, and I have legitimate gripes about the company you can't argue with. As a result, you turn things personal trying to attack my morals which have nothing to do with the situation, and aren't even in question. That by itself shows which one of us is acting more maturely...
Anyway, lets drop this regardless because we obviously don't agree and I really don't feel like lowering myself into attacking you personally like you chose to do with me.
