When the Dust settles..

[Mikey P]

How will these industry individuals look back at their alliances with Dusty and Barry O'Connell?

Was their pursuit in the all mighty dollar worth the potential damage to their reputation?

Clark Lancaster

David Van Briggle

Once the dust clears from the pajama suit what will these people be saying in defense of their poor judgement?
Some were heavily involved, some not so much, but with all the facts of the ever present cancer right in their faces, that old poem just keeps ringing in my ears....




The Danno Fail will be the best thing ever to happen to the Blue Man Group.

In fact, I hear Tom is buying the first three rounds on Thursday night at M10F!

Are you trying to start a Revolution Mikey??

I think we've all been in situations where we've made "errors of judgement" over the company we have kept at some time in our lives.

Best for all concerned as you say, "when the dust clears", to see where they stand and then move on.

The only way to go after mud-slinging like this is forward.

One good thing I do see, is that certain peoples integrity has shown them to be the snakes in the rug world, that they are.

What's past is past, let's look to the future and try and learn from our mistakes.

Follow the money, but not so close that you get burned.

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah yeah, I'll forgive and forget in a few weeks..

For now I just want to gloat.

 

[hogjowl]

A tempest in a teapot.

But it's something you can generate a few posts over.

 

[Shawn Forsythe]

It'll be over as fast as the bruhaha that followed your meltdown on the Vortex board.

Dusty'sBoard is in the works I'm sure.

 

[Mikey P]

He started his own chat room the say after Danno tossed him

 

[Mikey P]

All those Badger Bucks coming to an end...

Shawn did you sell that cancerous crap too?

 

[Shawn Forsythe]

Nope.

 

[FredC]

I'd probably know more about this but I think I was removed from the rug fag mailing list.

 

[Mikey P]

It's a one drink minimum-maximum association.

You may forgive, but never forget.

I like the way you think.

Serves the two of them right.

perhaps the emails should be sent between 9 & 10 am then.......in the interest of increased membership

Our business is completely saturated with snake oil salesmen and rip off artists. Many many many people take advantage of customers and a hack carpet cleaner can give a used car salesman a run for his money in the lying department. Any one of the rest of us who run legit businesses can smell these people a mile away. I dont understand how or why anyone is surprised at all..like seriously. There are many good honorable people in our field...and to them we should be grateful for their experience and help. Most of the best ones wont even charge for it.

koolaid?

 

[T Monahan]

Is Mikey a "true" prophet?

 

[Mikey P]

whats new in the rug world Tom?

 

[Shane Deubell]

Can someone give me the cliff notes. Sounds juicy...

 

[mwall2230]

Can someone give me the cliff notes. Sounds juicy...

Same here

 

[Mikey P]

I really don't know the answer as far as to what happened to Dusty and Lancaster but these days Centrum Force appears to be the driving force when it comes to premium rug equipment

 

[Mike Draper]

Can someone give me the cliff notes. Sounds juicy...

yeah, I'm in the dark here.

 

[D Luke]

Was this that crazy 20 million dollar lawsuit? I don't know the details either.

 

[PrimaDonna]

Can someone give me the cliff notes. Sounds juicy...

Ditto. No idea what any of this is about. Or who did what.

 

[T Monahan]

I can't speak in behalf of anyone. It's not my place. Just observing what's going on.

 

[Mikey P]

Tom seeing how you resurrected this old thread, I'm sure you can say more than that .

 

[T Monahan]

I can't speak for anyone, just myself. It's been interesting observing what others are saying and doing and made me reflect on this post started and remarks made by some of you along the way.

 

[Mikey P]

sheesh..


I hope you're not this evasive when out door knocking..

 

[hogjowl]

Aren't they all?

 

[Scott S.]

Ditto. No idea what any of this is about. Or who did what.

ditto

 

[Desk Jockey]

Never listened to Procleaners and block Dusty's emails. That dude was relentless with emails.

 

[T Monahan]

The drama is like Michigan weather. If you don't like it, wait a little while, it will change. There are forces at work that move for change. There are some really class folk on some of the rug forums these days. Many will join us for Rug Summit in October.
