Hi Ho, young Bradster… I sure hope you’re not pulling the same trick some others did here a few weeks ago.
That being said, if I’ve offended you, I’m sorry, but there is a condition to that apology. I’m sorry only, if I did it out of malice or was not attacked first by you. I don’t think other than some fun statements or comments towards others on this site that I’ve purposely gotten on anyone’s case without just cause in the last few months. I have, and will continue, to call them as I see them.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, on this site knows right from wrong. If you, or they don’t, then I have no time or use for that individual or the likes. I don’t feel I need to give you my philosophy on life or business, but you seem to be a little mixed up about my statements, so here goes.
This place is not a popularity contest for those who do nice work. It’s a place to ask for help, receive help, compare ideas, discuss problems, find new vendors or ideas, but most of all… a place where people of the same mindset can get together on any level and can relate to each other. I’m sure Fred has far better ways of describing ‘
Signs 101’, but that’s my take on it. Therefore, you really shouldn’t compare KPC to me or any others on this site, since you really can’t get the truth about him. I have nothing against his being a newbie, a hobbyist or anything else he wants to call himself. I simply don’t like a liar and that’s all he has shown thus far. I can totally disagree with another’s views on conducting business, methods of doing
signs or even his brand of beer, but again, I don’t like a liar. Repeatedly, he has shown those tendencies as I have pointed out as well as almost everyone else here as to his true colors. I’m not the sergeant-of-arms here at :signs101: and have no idea what you see in this KPC, but that’s entirely up to you who you pick as friends.
I’d like to answer some of your other accusations, but frankly, they don’t make sense to me.

:
Again, I don’t view this as bashing a newbie by any means. I also don’t think, a select few here bash newbies, either. If they [newbies] can’t take constructive criticism, then that’s just too bad. I’ve never been accused of being tactful, just honest and to the point and if the truth hurts, well, so be it.
Your take on this whole matter puzzles me, Bradster. If you’re everything you claim you are and also don’t know anything about this industry, why is it impossible for you to be the only person here that doesn’t recognize the facts ?? Also, why in your last thread does it sound like your actually talking as if you were KPC ?? Now I’m confused… or it's 'Twilight Zone' time.
Anyway, bringing a thread back to life was explained in my first sentence… so please go back and read it again. I’ve seen threads brought back after weeks, months and more. I’m sorry, but I didn’t know of that rule.
Now, for your most ridiculous statement of all. I have no problem with a competitor opening up across the street, even if he knows what he’s talking about or has talent. Many of our customers are other
sign companies around town, in neighboring towns and even some down where you are, if you’re indeed from Florida. Our retail customers come from all around the area and are both local and national accounts for us. No, we have no competitors in the area that are even remotely at odds with us. Many of the other
sign companies use us as a satellite shop from time to time. We do quite a bit of third party work for companies from all over the country. No Bradster, you’re barking up the wrong tree on all counts with your accusations. Next time get your facts straight before you go around pointing fingers. Once you understand a situation fully, then start throwing your weight around. It doesn’t take a
sign person to see through KPC’s farce. I’m surprised you can’t.
