So Bill Gardner from SP signed onto PBN, and I asked...

[OneUp]

How was that Smart Parts Magic Box ever supposed to work?

I dunno if this is thread worthy. I just thought someone would find it funny.

[OneUp]

He responds!!! GOGOgogogogo!!!!

Obviously, you do not know how a regulator works. Automags that went liquid shot hot with or without a magic box, and the added area of the magic box did not add to the problem in fact the lower operating pressure reduced the problem. You know the two major factors affecting the CO2 state change Pressure and Temperature.

regarding the magic box letting you shoot hot.

No comment, I'm just sitting back and watching the fireworks.

[mr doo doo]

If you don't have a pbn account this is reason to get one. Join in on the fun?

Heres my post

You know, even i had never heard of any of the poor business dealings you had done with SP, i would still say you don't seem to be a ethical, tasteful business man.

Your posts are either extremely smug/condescending to your consumers (why does that not seem smart) on the largest online community of paintballers. And when given real, solid questions, you refuse to answer, or twist the answer without really answering it (the black box for example).

Nearly EVERY reply of yours has consisted of either "Obviously you don't understand" or Some kind of VERY sarcastic remark.

How would you NOT expect a consumer to be completely put off from buying your products when you are trying to put them down?

I am not berating you, I'm just expressing how one of your established consumers (going on 9 years) has no desire to invest in your products seeing that this is how you do business...

seriously, he needs to take a few lessons for Kaye on how to deal with customers...

Interesting. Youre an established and supporting Smart Parts consumer, for 9 years. Theyve always been this way. Considering where Smart Parts is, and where AGD is...you think Smart Parts should take lessons from Kaye?

he certainly does not sound like a likable person if you ask me.

please re-read my caption.

lessons on how to deal with customers

quite specific. but yes i do think he needs to learn a thing or two.

and yes, i still purchased SP products after they went on their copyrighting "rage." i support the American business competition. What i do NOT support is leaders of companies disrespecting their customers.

heres a PERFECT example, he just posted.

The magic box was support by our warranty, and we had agreements with Tom Kay. Just because you have been around for a long time does not mean you know anything. If we beat up on you in some tournament, I am sorry.

i swear, this better be some 15 year old kid that hacked his account.

It's honestly not.

[splat15k]

I'd love to hear what Tom has to say about all of this...

[hmudd13]

I am lurking over there watching this. I am repulsed, yet, strangely, I still can't turn away! LOL

Maybe Gardner is right. maybe they DID invent everything.

I didnt miss the caption the first time I read it. I guess what I mean is...this treatment isnt new. I guess just the first time youve experienced it. Regardless, considering their position in the industry, Im surprised you suggest they take pointers from a person or company who is currently less successful than they are.

and yes, i still purchased SP products after they went on their copyrighting "rage." i support the American business competition. What i do NOT support is leaders of companies disrespecting their customers..

Interesting. I too support the American business competition. SP's methods of business, IMO, go against the very fundamentals of American business competition. Thats why its always surprised me that anyone would support them.
