Oh Gary, Gary, Gary.
I have something I would like to ask you. Answer it as honestly as you can.
Let's say a big Pay Per View event is coming up and someone you know is purchasing it. Should the Cable company get mad at the subscriber for inviting some friends over to watch it with him? Should they go and seek out who is doing this and where they live? Should they penalize the subscriber for allowing his friends to view the event for free?
If you are human, the answer is NO.
Although the cable company would be mad because of the money they are losing, they understand that this is what people do. They would like to know who is doing it to try and steer them away from this for their own financial sake, but they don't bother. You know why? Because in the big scheme of things, it really doesn't matter. Someone is subscribing to their service and that is all that matters.
I am glad you have given up this argument with me, because it is over. All I was doing was giving constructive criticism on the job you do. You should take it in stride and use it as fuel to fire yourself up and work harder, like you said it has. Maybe with all my ranting, you will give your consumers a better service.
Also, yes I would pay six bucks for your service, because at times it is good and quite useful. I would also pay up to twenty bucks a month for your service if and when you can do live streaming. That would definitely be worth it. So good luck with your site and if you ever need some more criticism, I'll be sure to give it.
By the way, just curious, how many members are you up to now?

Pete,
I really don't understand your beef. Gary has a life other than Armwrestling. He spends more time on the sport than most athletes and you're giving him grief??? He's dedicated, definitely a hard worker and loves the sport. Gary has opened up the World of Armwrestling for all to see for the price of a burger. It's your choice if you want to buy that "burger". I sure don't want to do what he does.
Don't subscribe if you don't want to, but don't complain because a product you don't pay for isn't done.
Have A Great Day, Denise

I am in no way taking sides here. I am making only an observation. I truly do not think Pete is serious about all that he said. He is definitely busting Gary in the go-nads. My observation, since the postings to/for Gary started, is that, he was bashed in the beginning of his quest by some of the people praising him now. Some were accusing him of "raping" and "profiting" off of the people who put forth the effort to video the events and send it to him. Some who called his intentions empty due to him not knowing anything about the sport (at the time). There have been some who has threatened legal actions if played without their permission. Now, they commend him for what he does. I could go on and on, but I won't. I hope my point has been made. Gary, you are indeed an asset to this sport. Keep it up. And remember, there will be go-nadders out there to push you further in your quest. P.S. Do you happen to have the video of the poker tournament up yet? I need to see if I looked at my cards first, on the last hand.  |

Warning: Prolonged exposure to Pete "the Hater" Milano will cause one to understand his methodology of ball-busting. Stop it Allen. Let Pete have his fun.  |

Pete. Thank you.
Yes, it is human and the only way to watch a big fight.
Allen- good point.
I wasn't impressed with the poker tournament video so I moved on but for you I will try and dig it up.
Pete Milano. How many members? Don't you want to know? I'll tell you some day.

Gary, I think most of the negative people toward your cause in the beginning our now true believers in your passion and quest. (myself included.) I think that if only all people who have or had differences in this arm-wrestling world could look to people like you and I and even your relationship with the AAA and admit fault or at least open their minds and truly look toward a forgiveness with each other we could all unify not just as a family but as a sport. I honestly believe that you are one of the very best things that have ever happened to us as pullers and you not only have my unwaivering loyalty but you have mine and my families eternal friendship. You can stay on my driveway as long as you like!!!  |
