Re: Thought you would want to know...
That guy is a idiot, he does that crap all the time.
Re: Thought you would want to know...
That forum becomes less and less interesting.
I have been a pretty vocal critic of the AAC "Lifestyle" marketing, but I've also acknowledged how successful they've been at it, and that they've had good products to back it up with. The fact that the other thread was started by a wannabe competitor is humorous.
Anyone click on the link in his sigline and notice his attempt at following in the footsteps of the very company he lambastes?
ETA:
Anyone know if there's any truth, or way of verifying, his claim here?

The M4-SD is the 5.56mm, compact, sophisticated, high efficiency, snap on silencer derived from our Spartan R&D program which designed and successfully fielded silencers to Army snipers in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom.

Well, that's flattering he regularly checks our blog.
the first response says it all:
"Not my cup of soup either but who gives a flying F.
Let em' wear pink. They still make bad ass cans."

Or so they claim.... they also threatened to shoot people when they told us to come up for a visit.BadassWeakling wrote:IIRC, the two owners are brothers who are both snipers with the Army or NG?rob_s wrote: ETA:

AND
That anyone that wears pink and is a gun lover is a homo and most likely a liberal.
I think a head scan is in order for both of them.

Re: Thought you would want to know...
I saw that thread over there and instantly thought he was an idiot. He obviously doesn't know a thing about marketing. Who would trash one of the best suppressor companies with one of te best marketing campaigns on one the biggest shooting forums about reps wearing pink shirts? Just shows the only thing people can say negative about AAC is there taste in clothing at one event.

So he programmed his website so that if someone searches for any of us they get directed to his site? Very strange.

There aren't too many people in this world that I genuinely "feel bad" for, but GreenO is an exception. He is bi-polar or something - he has real issues controlling his behavior.

Or at least try to look like 'em.
Stay calm, stay strong, and have a backup plan.
Re: Thought you would want to know...
these are the bigoted, ignorant, engineer/scientist/manufacturer/secret squirrel wannabees who engraved "Front Toward Arabs" on their silencer end-caps.
the fact that they can even use computers amazes me.
the amount of misinformation, nonsense, and stupidity that he and his brother have written on internet discussion forums is mind boggling.

I also know I need to take a break from studying when I look at the opening on the end cap and only see the molecular structure of cyclohexane.
Either way, I say somebody sends him a shirt.

GreenO's a tosser, and it sounds like his brother is too. He was giving me s--t a while back. Cory and David are great guys. Rachel's great too. Haters gonna hate.
