It's fun to see manton's grasp of English fail him when he gets angry, even after editing his posts.

Is there someting I'm missing about AAAC? 

I'm trying to get into posting more on this site but I'm having problems...there is a constant obsession with demeaning manton and AAAC.  As a newcomer looking from the outside in it looks like a classic case of jealousy. 

Did something go down at AAAC that I'm not aware of?  Did manton steal somebody's cookies?

This is my first post here, but I've been reading the forum for quite a while.

I agree with Chris -- I find the repeated comments and antipathy for Manton and AAAC to be childish and tiresome. Certainly, there is alot of great content on this site, but (IMHO) it is demeaned it by this behavior -- and yes, I have observed (for the past 3+ years) the goings on at AAAC, so I think I know most of the history behind the antipathy.

I also find it amusing that many of you comment favorably on Marc's doing a service to others by warning about his experiences with some vendors, yet you criticize the efforts of others to help prevent a possible fraud and rip-off.

Further, Marc (if you read this), why have I not seen a comment from you concerning Darren, despite your experience with him?  FWIW, Marc recommended Darren to me (several years ago, and early in his dealings with Darren), and Darren himself told me Marc had ordered 10 suits from him, some of which I saw in process.  I gather this order was ultimately not filled (though I could be mistaken).  So, if Marc is such a defender of the naive and the innocent, why not be upfront about Darren?

Finally, if you felt you had been ripped off to the tune of several thousand dollars and had been strung along and repeatedly lied to, would you not feel some anger and, perhaps, vindictiveness, never mind a desire to help others avoid your fate?

Marc:

Thank you for your reply.  I do not recall the posts you cite, and I am not certain I ever saw them.  I find the whole DB situation to be very sad, both for Darren (whom I found to be a reasonably charming fellow) and for the people who have paid him money and failed to get their promised garments.

Please note that I do not blame you or in any way consider you responsible or culpable in the DB saga, and I can understand your sentiments regarding AAAC.  I have just been puzzled by what I've observed as your silence regarding DB here on FNB, and how that has been in contrast to your vehemence about AK, Leonard Logsdail, and many others, on AAAC.

Caught with his flea market-bought pants down, the proprietor of AAAC boasting about all of the business his fora had generated for DB, and of his suit in-the-making from DB, ***made in exchange for that business***.  Hmmmmmmm.  How did that suit ever turn out?  Just wondering.
