WOW - now the ego comes out, the insults, and so on. Hey Jimmy - guess who just lost a customer for life? Hey Jimmy - guess what "pathetic internet forum poster" is going to make sure that whenever I talk to my friends about fitness, I tell them to NEVER buy your programs and point them in the direction of one of your peers/competitors.
THAT's why you don't bash fitness enthusiasts on the internet WHEN YOU SELL FITNESS PROGRAMS ON THE INTERNET. If you had any clue about marketing you'd know that you don't talk shit about the people you're asking to give you money. How do you like them apples?

Yes, this is pretty much how it went for me too, Chris. Jimmy obviously has some issues with certain board members. Fine, but the nature of the internet is that a whole lot of people are reading this, not just the few "haters". I'm turned off now and I won't be be buying or recommending these programs. It wasn't the "incident" that did it for me; it's Jimmy's unprofessional attitude towards his customer base. He keeps accusing others of not knowing anything about business but there are many of us in business on this board that clearly know a great deal more than he ever will. Pssst, Jimmy .... always take the high road .... don't burn bridges ... always take the high road ... don't burn bridges ... (and that advice is for free  )
