Now there's a whole thread devoted to criticizing The Dandy:

In the thread with the military ties he claims to have been made a sergeant on graduation from high school. Sergeant in what armed forces we will never know, but I can tell you that if I were in uniform in the Twee Internet Army I would gladly follow The Dandy to the very gates of hell, if only to get a look at his mother-of-pearl collar stays and to find out what happened to his fiancee.
Here's an AAAC oddity:

A thread combining two of the great loves of the Andyite's life, Joseph A. Banks and Allen-Edmonds, in which posters actually attack another poster for suggesting that people try on shoes in one store and buy them in another. Basic logic and human decency from iGents? Shock!

I love you, Knezz, and I love your invariably stupid, ineffably belligerent questions.
Grow up!

Some low-grade trolling or top grade inanity here. The guy is annoyed that his shoes SOUND different after he has them re-soled, and he suspects that his cobbler has ABUSED the heels in some fashion. Next time send a nanny-cam in with your shoes, and also consider hurling yourself off a bridge or tall building.

With a shitty line up like this, Seitelman might as well add his own name to the list.

I've also been asking around on this subject to try to add to what we know and nobody really seems to know all that much - Perfect iGent stuff! People will charge what they like & say what they like therefore.
I like the shoos, but as of today I'd not believe too much about them: Their value, quality, worth, anything.
Buy 'em if ya love 'em.
Flip to all the rest.
Moo acts all cute, his first three posts in the thread make me laugh:

The Dandy saga continues! The moderators have come to the rescue and forbidden patrons of the "Fora" from accusing The Dandy of being a troll. And here is his latest post, which I believe is the inane forum equivalent of the Nazis marching under the Arc de Triomphe after occupying Paris:

And some redaction on his appearing/disappearing fiancee:

High-priced streetfighter Cuff Daddy takes time out from his thriving law career to write 10,000 or so words on something. I certainly didn't read it.

A glimpse into the married life of the iGent, complete with casual misogyny and plenty of Alden shoes! I especially enjoy this post:

I have never been married, but I can assure you that telling your wife or significant other that because YOU make the money YOU make the rules is a great way to have a hot liquid poured on your genitals while you sleep.
But he is a Troll. And he is protected and promoted just like Harris was purely for sales.
His worldview is money to AAAC, just like the ill-informed snobbery of Harris was.
AAAC KNOW their demographic - It's shitheads. And so they give 'em what works for 'em.
