Bob,

See, now I was all in agreement with you on all your points until you
decided to say something of a personal nature towards me.  My post
only questioned the manufacturing costs of these videos.  Your
response has shown me that you are unable to make a counter-point
without crossing the line.

Now I really couldn't give two f**cks about your DVD's and your $100k
a year job.  If you knew anything about me, you would know I am one of
the hardest working owners here and extremely enthusiastic about being
in this community.  If you knew anything about me, you would know I am
far from cheap as you have implied, and if you knew anything about
common sense, you would have better sense than to insult my finances
on a public forum.  That was uncalled for.

You say there's one in every bunch?  Well consider me one to always
question people's actions when I don't quite agree with them. 
Consider me one of those people who do not take everything on face
value and definitely consider me one to question people's intentions
when money is involved.

As for my "standards", I won't even begin to justify this with a
response.  I am a well respected person in this community and I intend
to keep it that way.  If you beg to differ, I am sure there are many
people who will verify this claim.

Keep it professional and think before you press "send".
