This thread has turned into an attack on forest because he's an easy target, way too easy! JoeE has paid a lot of money to a lot of folks in 6 years so there's lots of brown nosers ready to jump to his defense. Problem is, he's stolen twice as much as he's given.
JoeE, you are a thief, plain and simple. You can get as many of your friends to drop by and defend you as possible, but the simple fact is that you steal and that is why you can afford to be generous to the occasional person who you might want something from in the future. You are so like someone else I know - pretending to be generous when there's a group around, but as soon as you get what you want you fuck those around you. You use your money as a tool to manipulate and take advantage of those who you know won't have the financial power to stand up to you. Give someone free *bleep* and manipulate them into paying for it some how ...
Your private friends site is stolen. The content is stolen. Can you show the 2257 on the content inside the site? I hope the site was worth it, because you fucked a lot of people along the way to get it finished. It must have been cheap to build, being that you took an existing product, didn't pay any of the people who worked on it, then got rid of anyone who you would have had to pay! good job!! be careful of employing programmers without visa's! ;-))))
i always thought you were just a harmless egomaniac, but 'loose canon' comes to mind these days ... good thing you've surrounded yourself with enough paid friends to protect you when you are at your lowest. hope your money doesn't run out
how much money do you owe 'the family' Joe?
Oh, and for those of you suggesting to 'settle this off the boards' and 'not bring this to a public forum' ... do you honestly think that hasn't been tried?!?!??!!? If joe had co-operated when he had the MANY chances this wouldn't have made it to the board - Just like most disputes that end up here.
Joe, you know who i'm talking about (and its nothing to do with forest, i still don't really know what happened there), you know how to fix it - prove me wrong that you aren't a lying stealing good for nothing scumbag and i'll post a public apology withdrawing all of my comments. It really is that easy.
