Well then ....... I guess the term for that is .......... tough shit.

The point your missing Matt is that if everyone stopped objecting to
what Fat Ass does, all it means is that he continues doing what annoys
everyone. He continues to lie to end users. He continues to steal
information from experienced people in this group. He continues to
disparage installation companys because it serves his purpose to make
them look bad so he can entice people to buy from him. He will continue
to draw new posters who come here who don't have knowledge of his bad
reputation, into arguments. He will continue to lie about his
background in the industry. He will continue to skirt the law in his
state regarding providing services that require a license. And he will
continue to hold the group in a state of ransom if we don't do it HIS
way. He want this to be HIS Newsgroup, under his rules. And it's never
going to happen. NEVER. You're also missing the point that he's done
this in other groups. THE VERY SAME THING!  This isn't just a
disagreement of terms. THIS IS INTENTIONAL. And you're saying that
everyone should just ignore what he does and let him run this group and
continue to disparage the people in it ...... just for the sake of
exactly WHAT?

The group will remain exactly the way it is until he stops. He is wrong
in doing what he's done to this Newsgroup. He knows it. YOU know it and
at this point there is no middle ground.

Go away  ........... you're wasting your time. You're only a minor
ripple in a sea of shit.

Oh bullshit. Sure, we'll just all sit here like little lambs and let
this rotten son of a bitch run over everyone. We'll just answer
questions while this asshole takes potshots at every reply and person
he disagrees with. He's a fucking asshole from hell and that's exactly
where he's going to stay.

And I'll continue to be as much a disruption to this group as he is and
you can take his advice on it.   "You don't run this group and you
can't tell anyone what to do here. If you don't like it, you can leave.
"

You can thank him for that ......
