PEOPLE PLEASE for the love of God create a seperate thread under General Discussion to ***** about how much of an idiot / FUD master / ass hole Amir is. I can't even read this thread anymore without going through 5 pages of stuff on Amir just to find what OUR insiders said.

NOTE THAT I DON'T PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT PENTON GOT THE STORY FROM THE NEWS SOURCE AND WAS TRYING TO PASS IT OFF AS INSIDER INFO. I'm just saying the HD DVD crowd could point out that insider knowledge wasn't necessary at the time Penton reported the story, so it doesn't by itself prove anything.

Personally, I don't see what is gained by going to other forums, collecting trash they post there, and tossing it into this forum. It's one thing when a question or challenge is posed at another forum and it is brought here for discussion so a good response can be made. It's another thing when people repost Amir flaming Penton and suggesting he may be a hairdresser.

P did predict the official announcement

It's also nice because I can tweak how things are connected without having to update her on the details.

Good deal!

Just remember to point out the "help" button for your wifey!

Amir makes it plain that he knows who the Insiders are, he's met PaidGeek, for instance and has posted Pentonman's name in the past.

All of that takes time.

AHHH. I remember now. As I recall, Lucas was slow to release Star Wars on DVD.

This thread needs cleaning it appears, this Amir stuff needs to be discussed in the HD-DVD Rant section, not here.

Whether working at Sony or Vidal Sassoon, he was well ahead of the curve on Chris Cookson's position change - making any charge moot.

Penton, my scalp gets a little flaky in the winter months.... what should I do?

Penton is an Herbal Essance insider?!

Hey folks, let's get real. If the hairnet fits, you must acquit!!

I agree, but for once the off-topic stuff is pure fun!

So, Penton, what's your take on Rogain vs. implants? I could see Amir needing a new, "younger" look in a couple of months.

Okay, Penton, or should I say Giuseppe, off comes the mask, no way to deny it anymore:

You wanna know what gave it away? You also don't put your name on the line for something that doesn't work!

malwa · 01-03-2008, 09:10 PM

When amir comes straight out and calls our insiders cowards and mocks what positions they hold I think it worthy of discussion especially seeing how maxpower got shit for responding to his fud.

Hey guys, I’ve told you time and again don’t call me at work.

One lady wants highlights and another new customer just walked in and wants a color change.
I’m busy!

Take advantage of kjack and talkstr8t while they’re here.
Later.

The consequences of my little stint on AVS have been made perfectly clear, I will no longer be allowed to post there until further notice and I will be serving a two day posting ban over here imposed by work.

I suppose all actions have their consequences...

For what it's worth we are all with you.!!!!

LOL. Ok, I'll bite. How do you interpret the "lady" who wants "highlights"?
