    Did anyone else scroll up to see what section they were in when they read that ?

    I'm not trying to get involved by any means, but I thought that was kinda funny.

    Yes, did I start an argument? I came here and gave my point, Sam came here and attacked me.

    I must be blind, but you were the first person to take this thread off-topic, maybe due to your severe traumatized short memory, you cannot remember. Take a look at your first post offending me and decide on yourself if you took the topic off topic or not.

    Back on topic:

    I actually believe that there should be a standard guideline when a review copy is given. Reviews that are two links long and pretty much don't help potential buyers understand the quality of the products are useless. There has to be a guideline that each reviewer must follow, in order to enlighten potential buyers on the product.

    I directed my comment to the general audience of DP, you directed towards me. I directed my comment on morons based on reviews, so I stayed on topic.

    EDIT: Good for you for reporting my post and giving me a red rep, fortunately I have better things to do then to result to baby games.

    yet here you are proclaiming to be a richuser and make much more than i do, and can make more money than i can because i know less than 10% of what you know.
    yet you need to borrow $500 because you are so rich you have all your money tied up with other investments/project?

    ×××× Loan ×××× Paying Back Double ××××

    is that not you asking for a $500 loan?

    how old are you? 12?
    buying 4 vcc's and now asking for $500 loan, smells really bad to me. more so when you proclaim in this thread how much you can make.

    Sundaybrew, I'm not even going to speak my mind to you, your reputation on this forum is an low. Another thing, you and sam have no idea how to read. Let's take a look at the sentence:
    "90% of the morons on DP have no idea how to leave a feeback."
    Now, you and sam keep reading this sentence as though I stated that everyone on DP are morons. Why the guilty consious? That statement stats that the 90% of the morons on DP have no idea how to leave a review. Not that all members are morons, but that only 10% of the morons on DP know how to leave a review. Again, this perfectly proves the lack of understanding for both of you. And also, guilty consious.

    2nd. You both have no idea what I do on this forum, and if you know the whole story, and there are a few members on here that do, then you'd know that I just put in all my cash into an invesment. I then posted for a quick loan, but not only that, but I'm paying back double. And I even stated I can pay back within 10 days. Sam cannot even make $500 in a month, so I'll end it at that. And you Sundaybrew, you cannot make $500 a month without scamming someone. I can make back $1,000 a week and pay back the person, end of story.

    Both of you have serious problems, one doesn't have a brain, the other scams. Pretty sure that it's simple to find out who is who.

    And why don't I have the balls of taking a picture of myself. Tell me what you want me to write on the paper and hold it up. I will gladly show you a picture of me. At least my avatar doesn't have me sucking on a finger ( *cough*sam*cough*

    To be fair, they did specify "90% of the morons".

    If I assume 20% of DP members are morons, that would mean they're actually only refering to 18% of all DP members since 90% of 20% is 18% of the whole.
    If that's the case, I'd really like to know how 10% of morons figured out how to do somthing non-moronic, & if this was the result of dumb luck. If I assume 5% of these 10% of morons are in fact not morons at all this would mean that 0.1% of all members who appear to be morons are only acting like they are.

    So chances are that if you appear to be a moron here at DP, there's a very slim chance you're not actually a moron.

    I have absolutely no idea what the hell I'm talking about either, but it adds up right.

    This completes my review of this thread.

    I can only infer that you mean "they" as SundayBrew and Sam. Well if you look at sam's post:
    "see your post before mine, you call 90% of DP members morons. i called you the moron."
    You'll see that she understood that I called 90% of all dp members morons.

    And sundaybrew's post:

    "No - you only disrespected Most of the community...."

    Again, he also understood it the wrong way.



    -
    You understood it correctly, but your saying that that's what they said, but when you can clearly see that they didn't see it the way we did.

    It's fine, everyone makes mistakes.

    Yes it is harsh, BUT, getting attacked and called moron and noob isn't fun, especially when I didn't name anyone specifically.

    Yes, I mean that 90% of the people that leave them.

    What about a rebate for the first X purchasers if they return well written reviews ?
