I did meet Don (Goblin) in person as well as Josh (Brass) They came into the store and picked up an SR-16 and an AK-47, tacmaster, sigma, and some other misc. stuff, they paid in cash and everything went well. However, the running joke is "Hey don said he'd be in to pick up the rest of his stuff today...." I ordered some more stuff for him and he has yet to come and pick it up. (2 months) He is very unreliable to his word, we waited many times late at the store when he was supposed to come and pick up stuff. and Janus was always supposed to come up with him, (he said Janus lived in Ohio, and was a Ex military, etc....) So many times he didn't show, or had some excuse why Janus couldn't come along. I just got a funny feeling about him. and then I was contacted by the law and they helped fit all the pieces together, but I am going to hold comment on that until later.

D'oh! I wanna hear, but I fear that if Mike told me, he'd have to kill me.

Oh No. Newman has a bad feeling about me, never met me, never dealt with me, but I guess knows all about me the same. Newman, a little advice. Try calling information on 68 caliber, but for your info here it is. EINSTEIN!!!!! 68 Caliber Paintball 1809 Reed Street, Kalamazoo MI. So yes it does exist. So yes you are wrong. So yes you are making snap judgements about me. Regarding ASP Forums. I resigned due to several issues. 1. Do not have the time to properly do it. 2. Do not have the inclenation to do it anymore. Why.?? and I mean WHY? ? Do you people attack me, you dont know me, I never ripped anyone off, nor have I done anyone wrong. I have allways been cordial, and tried to as of much help as is possible yet I now am being lambasted by some of you. The irritating part is that after proving there is a 68 paintball, thus proving I am not a liar and such, there probually wont be an apology.

From what i have heard on MiA and other forums i would have to agree with newman and most other people that Janus rips ppl off and is more than likely fake! thats just my 2 cents and probly since im new to MiA my 2 cents wont quite matter yet but who cares ;D I have nothing else to say

Janus...you've earned a reputation for some reason... ask any US airsofter about you, and they'll respond 'isn't he that scamer/doesn't he rip people off?'
you didn't earn this branding overnight...and without a reason... people don't just single out people to discredit.
just because .68 cal paintball exists in MI...doesn't mean that it backs up your legitimacy in any way...
i can claim to be a MI National Guard Col...and claim that Selfridge is my home base...doesn't mean it's any truer...doesn't mean i'm not using it to shit you.
Janus....until you can *prove* to us that you were not indeed scamming every other person to order a gun through you or 'Don Semora', i think your reputation will most likely stay with you.

Mikecatt,...
Coming from a 13 year old, I note your massive reasoning skills and experinece.
Bigmack,....
Frankly I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else, it amazes me that the theories abound about me, well simply put I dont give a shit.!!!
And Bigmack, I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else. I dont rip nor have I ripped anyone off. As I remember I think I have made some deals with a few people here, and have followed through with them in a timely manner. Including the Owner / Head Moderator here.!!!!
Tell ya what, I will put it this way, flame it, beleive it, or just plainly screw it. I dont care but here it is.
1. You all say your honorable people, yet you attack and comment on someone who has done nothing to you.?
2. You all call me rip off, and a crook, yet I have not done any of this to you or anyone you know.?
3. You all question my honor, yet you act dishonorable.
I am done explaining myself to people here. I have wronged NONE of you..............
Frankly you make me sick.!

if proving that you're trustworthy when you have a reputation that speaks the opposite is too much of a problem...you're allowing the general perception of you to prevail. if something is wrong...right it...if you're being discredited...give someone a reason to credit you. quite a few people have raised allegations of scamming against you... prove they're wrong...
you say you have nothing to prove....if this were a trial in a court of law...i doubt the verdict would be in your favor...
innocent til proven guilty only goes so far... when you have fewer people to speak in your defense than you have critics...the critics will carry the day...just because they're the most outspoken group.
in short, Janus... you're being accused of a course of action you do not want to defend or even justify... if you don't speak up or defend yourself...people will *always* assume the worst.
Janus, i'm not making a personal attack on you... i'm merely going on what other people have said. You're right...for all i know, you're an honorable guy who's just been screwed by the circumstances...
it falls into the same category as Redwolf...more than a handful people got screwed by their ineptitude... that colors them in a bad light in my scrap book... as such...i'd never order from them. when so many people rise to speak against your business practices...and hardly anyone comes to disagree with them... i'm going to go with the majority when i don't have firsthand experience.
I'm not condemning you, Janus...i don't think you're as bad as everyone says you are...hell...i don't think you're a bad guy at all... i'm just asking for a little proof...a chance for you to redeem yourself to the airsoft community as a whole...
like i said, Janus...i don't mean anything i've said twords you as a personal attack...or as a derogitory reference to your character...i'm just looking for answers to questions that everyone wants answered...
Again, Janus...no harm intended.
Bigmack.

I have a request. Janus could you please scan your drivers license photo along with Don Semora's so at least we can prove you at least aren't Don Semora.

The only problem with that, Dice, is that he could scan his and Joe Blow, his best friends and say that's Don's.
And is it me, or were Bigmack's first few sentences really profound?

I have experience with checking for digital minipulation so it wouldn't be easy and also a high quality scan would be nice.

Dicepackage,......
I am not going to scan anything, and if you want anyone elses license number then by all means e-mail them direct. Gee whats next you am I to submit a scan of my dd-214.?
When I say I dont have anything to prove, I mean in the sense that what we have here is oh so simple.
1. Everyone sais I rip people off. 2. No one knows who though I ripped off. 3. No one on this board has been ripped off. 4. Yet I have to defend myself of allegations of being a rip off.
Yes folks I AM confused...........................
Mikecat,......
You just proved your lack of reasoning skills with me with that post. You say dont make assumptions about you because I dont know you....................WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME............ I apologize you have fine reasoning skills........ The problem here is that your 13 and a immature 13 year old at that. And it is showing.
Bigmack,........
I dont "defend" myself per se' because I have done anything wrong. I get lambasted but all the same so it's a mute point. What the issue here if you really look at it is that no one can tell me why I am a scammer or whatever they say this week about me. And even if someone posts I am one, why respond I can do nothing to prove I didnt do it. Anyone can claim he got scammed yet what is the proof they did not.?
As a Admin on the ASP forums I saw a lot of claims I GOT RIPPED OFF! what did I allways do though.
I was fair with them.
I asked for proof, or at the minimum details of the transaction. rarely were any given. I received many many personal e-mail in my inbox explaining in private what happened. Most of the time I deleted the posts becuase of one simple reason......
A claim of being ripped off is just that a claim. And with no proof, or details all that is happening is finger pointing. Simple as that. I made it a personal policy as an Admin that I would not stand by and let someone get flamed just because the have a "reputaion" why? because it is unfair to them, and also everyone else reading it.
Think about it.................
