The SF/AAAC/FNB trainwreck thread

If you don't mind sharing, can you give a general range of what the older fees were like?

Does it really matter? They where on a lower lvl. Mr. Fok thought he is a big businessman with a semi popular website*, raised it to another. Done.

*Not really. More stagnant and screaming for content to pull even more of those raised fees, from unknowing startups w ugly wares, to pay that high roller life, scooting around in ugly leather jackets.
 
I am very suprised at that myself. On SZ, he got two warnings and he is gone (he is even personal friends) with a few founding members.

Fok must not care or Kunk is paying him. No way would this be tolerared when multiple people are getting ripped off. Well besides the TOJ saga.

Kunk FTW. Hardcore by the swing set

Never realized Kunk had this reputation. If this is a long standing issue with him, then he should get the ban hammer.

EDIT: Come to think of it, maybe the mods allowing members to troll him over his shenanigans is their way of letting the issue take care of itself.

trolling him hasn't changed his shady behaviour on SF or any other forums where he is fucking people over
 
No one said it was a good solution if that is their thinking. As I said, he should be banned for his behavior. Maybe then he can could come over here and keep you company, sunshine.
 
Vintage Foo of the TWAT variety - here telling the owner of a $25k watch that he knows more about it than its owner because he's "done research", and implores the owner of said watch to Google it to truly understand the masterpiece in his possession.

"This is what's wrong with the online watch hobbyist universe. It is riddled with self-perpetuating, gossipy, fad-driven, under-informed hearsay. Someone read something someplace else and passed it on, but doesn't really know what they are talking about."

Says the oval headed dwarf who argues about the minutiae of watches he doesn't own with the owners of those watches, based on what he read on the Internet...

Oh Foo, you glorious bastard...
 
Looks like our own coxxy hasn't crossed paths with the Foo before. I imagine Foo is just as obnoxious and boring in real life.
 
Nevermind, its definitely grey market

Well, this is the same man who told Alex Kabbaz (the NY bespoke shirtmaker with four or five decades of experience) how he should be running his business.

Kabbaz responded very diplomatically and with enormous restraint:

Somehow, by trying to avoid the unpleasant original premise of the thread, I have ended up in the untenable position of trying to explain my business - yet again - to a college student steeped in theory. And I most certainly wish I hadn't ... but that's the price of trying to avoid the alternative. If I came across as chest-thumping, I apologize. I didn't mean to.

Matthew Fan then got his trousers in a twist, and responded:

It is now you who are speaking without propriety. I was not offended by your debate with me until now.

First of all, I am not a college student. I am a law student. I would like to assume you made an innocent mistake, but given the rest of your statement, it sounds likely you merely intended to counter my arguments by denigrating my person.

That was back in 2007. I've really found it impossible to take anything that Matt Fan writes seriously since that ridiculous outburst.

You have literally two of the top five most tone deaf and insufferable Internet posters in that exchange. It's still makes me laugh after all these years.

Absolutely! Given Kabbaz's usual internet persona, I was very surprised that he responded to Matt Fan as he did - only to then have the Foo throw himself on the ground, wailing and kicking.

Though I take utmost pleasure in reading the above bit from GMD, I would also wish to urge that he go back to the drawing board rather than spending time on message boards. TOP TOP bespoke with sub-RTW pattern matching:
