No matter if hes a hose sucking algae scrapper of a LFS, he's still contributing to the curio trade, he'll be going to a real hot place later :evil: .

Well two wrongs don't make a right either -- flaming won't change his mind.

I'm bothered by this too, but at least offering a more suitable alternative is more constructive than ripping him a new one.

I'm an algae scraper too (the bit about sucking hoses is just a vicious rumour though :D ), but if I can't sell my customer on live rock, I show them Walt's catalogue. Those are the ONLY choices I offer.

Read the thread Jenn
My advice was the same polite advise you gave. Get replica coral.
He didn't listen therefor he is a scum sucking loser.
He had a clear ethical decision to make and he chose the dark side and than laughed at us.

D you are a d**k!

I did read the thread.

I just don't think that flaming is going to change D's thinking. If anything, it will make him even more determined to thumb his nose at us.

Guess it's just the mom in me -- gotta tell my kids something 1000 times before it sinks in, and freaking on them won't make it happen faster ;)

Neener neener neener :p

I'm 100% with Jenn. Not only is it ineffective at changing someone's mind, it's also an incentive for most people to keep doing what you don't want them to do simply out of defiance. Besides, name-calling won't be tolerated here ;)

OK OK (But it should made me feel good)

Just so everyone knows I bought from living color, reef replicas and walt smith all replicas! Showed the customer how the colors can match the home interior. Looked more fancy so I marked up the hell out of them. Naesco; another good reason why canada sucks! By the way I may be a scum sucking algae scraper but I am on my way to making $75,000 in profit this year so I will stick to scraping algae and sucking a hose anyday!
