420 mag busts out the bastinado

i received this message from mods at 420 when i chimed in on a post about led sponsors being required to post their data sheets

Unfortunately in their time as sponsors here, Platinum caused us considerable problems and a massive drain of company resources. They turned the members who ran Platinum sponsored journals into evangelical trolls: both they and Platinum would attack any member who questioned their technical and performance data or their manufacturing details. They spread negative energy across our website and continually fueled, aggressive arguments in an already turbulent market sector. Their heavy-handed marketing tactics actually drove good members away from our website - members who simply and politely questioned their product claims or asked for more information. It is a continual challenge at the best of times for us to keep LED spammers and sock-puppets off the website; the last thing we need is drama and negative energy caused by our own sponsors.

It fits someone who would even think they could *blatantly* ripoff a reputable competitor's name -- and nobody would care. So, people who don't care buy a light -- and the owner of the company knows he has pure gold. People who don't care! :)

So, he stokes them into religious fanatics, defending their "membership" in his club of I Don't Care.

It sounds like a parody.

So does that mean that even the crooks at 420 don't want the crooks of Platinum anymore?
Shows just how big of a scamartists platinum (rebranded Eshine) truly are.

Ya, i had the same experience on 420 with my diy. They banned me back in summer i think. I posted all the milquetoasty, grovelling bullshit messages they sent.

I wrote to the spineless mod, teddy edwards, telling him that he should man up and reinstate my membership.

I see that there now seems to be a few 420 'ers who have a grasp on the basic physics/biology of plant lighting.

I was one of them that got banned from the original group but I have to say there is some truth to what was said about Platinum and there regime, the 420 rogue crew I was when I felt it started to get a bit childish I deleted the signature and I was instantly criticized by Dutty, he said some really insulting stuff to the members on 420, I would have banned us too LMAO!!!

You wait and see he will be here shortly with his posse, .... Maybe ;)

He has only been there since last july IIRC and he has racked up over 10k worth of posts, if he is the boss of anything it's posting messages on forums. I know a MOD or two at his current residence, he is quite the circus, but like they say there is all kinds and I guess it's anything for PLED's (Eshines).
