It's strange why Smokey brings up again the security breach at TMM, and equally strange why you tried to slam that toilet lid closed again. You know that I know that there was much sitting on that toilet before anything came out, or flushed as it were. But let sleeping turds lie I say.
However, I have nothing against your company or you neither - I love nats and it does me good business. I just don't like (well understand really) how you front that on the forums with your posts - this thread being one of them.
I've worked with many of the big guys, and seen many deals go titsup. I've never yet seen though anyone calling out the other for a tistup sour deal like you did in this thread.

It wasn't a matter of a "deal going bad". It was just an ad buy which we were forced into if we wanted our clients listed. I dealt with that. It was the fact that when we decided to end it he indicated he'd be bashing us and he proceeded to do so. Basically, if we pay him he'll say good things about us, if we don't pay him he's going to say bad things about us. That's extortion plain and simple. That is where my issue lies. It has nothing to do with feeling fucked out of $150 or anything of the sort. That is just another example of people on GFY reading whatever they'd like into things and stating it as fact. It happens constantly around here.
The security issue isn't going to be discussed in detail publicly as there is still ongoing related litigation. The only thing I'll say is that yes, there was a security issue years ago (as I've said many times) and we've become a much better & stronger company as a result of it.
I'm not sure what you mean by fronting that on the forums. I speak my mind and the truth. Some people can't handle that and would rather have everything sugar coated. That's not how I do things. Some people simply prefer to tell everyone what they want to hear. I find it to be a horrible approach to things. We've gotten far more business as a result of it than we've lost.
I'm not going to let someone (even as insignificant in this industry as Daizzzy might be) tell us that if we pay him he'll say good things about us and if we don't he'll bash us every chance he gets and not do anything about it. That's why this thread is here.
