eng65,
Don't know why you felt the need to hide who you are (first post). Doesn't really matter, but assuming for the moment (and I'm not saying I believe this is true or not), if JB is as good and regular a customer as he purports to be, if YOU were Julie, wouldn't YOU give you best customer first shot at the new "merchandise". Seems only like good business to me.
Ozzy,
I understand that Rufus "saved" JAG and I can appreciate the fact that as a former MC he deplores what (is claimed) is going on there, assuming he is correct (and I have no reason to believe he is not). I'm sure most of the other notables once at JAG and now here would say, quit beating a dead horse. Let it go already. It seems Rufus will not be content until JAG is dead and he would seem to want to do anything he can to make that happen. At least he waits until he has very persuasive arguments/facts/coincidences (?) before he presents his case. I mean, it's not like he spends night and day continually trying to beat JAG into submission.
"JB's mileage is somewhat like a honda civic when everyone else on jag drives and old 8 cyl gas guzzler"
Poor analogy from what I can see. As far as "over-reviewed", well, I'm sure that is true, but it is certainly not just by him. Why JB gets better service than everybody else (although the only time I remember seeing that is in this recent "Taylor" case. I believe he claimed he got DFK and BBBJ and others said "No"). Well, frankly, that would be a point of contention (and thus not good for business) assuming the link between him and Julie's is concerned, wouldn't it ? He claims to get certain things subsequent visitors do not get. Now, wouldn't that call into question his reviews/observations if that happened with regularity ? Wouldn't that be bad for Julie's business if her #1 customer couldn't be trusted to give honest reviews ?
Once again, I don't really care who gets what from whom so long as I get the straight poop. Far as I'm concerned, unless a girl is totally independent, there is ALWAYS somebody else that makes something off our expenditures.
Candide was "outed" as "Miss JAG" ??? I must have missed that but I probaly would have assumed "Miss" JAG was a woman giving advice. Candide, whether I agree with her opinions or not, seems pretty bright. Are you inferring or stating that JAG knew Infobooth was Candide and thus allowed her participation on the Discussion Board ?
Admittedly I don't read nearly as much of UG as most (?) others here. Candide, as far as I can see, doesn't bad mouth nor post as much as many other members. If she takes issue with something somebody says she addresses it. Lord knows it is clear you and she are not friends.
I don't know if she's posted any "issues" with UG itself. Perhaps she has but you make it sound as if this is something she does ALL the time. I'm guessing if she did it as often as you infer, I would have seen some of it, no ?
And you say "she's a member of JAG staff" Are you saying she STILL is ? Or she was ? I just today took issue myself with UG deleting Nicole's (from Montreal) post. I assume she was looking for clients and posted a link to her site. I asked Allen or Slinky what rule she was breaking, or if the rule that I saw (#8) should possibly be modified since other ladies here on UG seem to be allowed to post a link to their site at will. Does that make ME a member of JAG's staff (I think you KNOW I'm not) ?
As far as JAG practices, while I certainly don't seem to see as many ladies as other Jagsters (or UG'ers) do, the ones I have seen (from both resources) have certainly all fallen within the YMMV parameters of the experience described, so until that concept fails, I have no problems with who reviews who.
"there's comments that have been written about how April and slinky are "in bed together" and how UG plants fake reviews on her behalf......"
Haven't seen any of those. And have no reason to believe it's true. Although, as stated above, April is one lady that posts a link to her site with some frequency and I don't see those posts/links deleted. Perhaps that is why the accusations are made ?
