DenisS I know you had a “fight” with him for something
Nope I didn’t have a fight with him at all. He had a disagreement with a member, threw his dummy out of the pram, didn’t read the rules, didn’t contact one of the 3 moderators. Didn’t use the contact form to contact me, didn’t use my personal e-mail which he has and then used his social media to try and destroy the forum, badmouthing it, spinning a load of lies he had been fed by others from another forum and encouraging as many people as he could to not use this forum. All this without the common courtesy to contact me. He also felt he should tell me and others how to run and moderate a forum he had not read the rules for. It’s not great he used his social media presence like that. I lost a lot of respect for him that day.
DenisS (probably still sour taste from him saying the niche sucks) but Dave to be fair I just found out you are involved into the Niche business, and you are posting on home-barista on the niche topic while throwing shade into other manufacturer topics, isn’t that the same “problem” on what Lance is doing?
Not at all no sour taste from me. I consulted on the design and testing of the Duo and have been totally up front on that. ANY, comments I made on the Niche thread I made on HB, I have been super careful NOT, to offer any opinions. All I have offered is technical information and very little of that. I think I made 3 posts. In fact in my first post in that thread I stated the following and you can see the post at this link https://www.home-barista.com/grinders/niche-duo-83mm-flat-burr-grinder-t86589-260.html#p924458
Disclosure: I was involved in the design and testing of the product for more than 1 year, so I won’t comment on whether you should buy it, how good it is etc… For this people should ask reviewers, testers and real customers. I will, however, happily answer any technical questions which don’t breach any in confidence information.
DenisS not talking here about testing the niche and giving them feedback but talking about owning something in the business) so now it makes sense why you were totally silent mode for the Duo
I own nothing of the Niche business
DenisS It’s okay to have favorites, it’s okay to be oriented towards some products, each forum has that, but it should be made public, directly, so everyone can see it.
I have always been completely up front about my activities.
DenisS Lance is a cool guy, he is pasionate, he knows a lot of people and get’s a lot of information. He doesnt have the time to sit and research everything people tell me (Carlos for example)
No, what he tried to do to our forum wasn’t cool and the misinformation that comes from him, intentionally or unintentionally isn’t cool. I find his videos uninformative, misleading and difficult to watch. As an influencer I think he has a position of responsibility, which isn’t executed well.
DenisS I also talk to a lot of people and find out many things (i can’t check if all of them are true) but the one finding out you are involved with Niche after so many years it’s just fked up.
The first involvement with Niche (the Zero), they donated £150 to a guinea pig sanctuary and the request of my then spouse. I was not paid a penny for all the work I did, or given any stake in the company. What’s fked up is the BS you are coming out with, who has been feeding you this ****
DenisS . I just dont like sneaky people, not in 2023, maybe 20 years ago, yes.
If you think that of me…and willing to state it along with the other unsavoury personal stuff which isn’t true. Then this isn’t the forum for you. I don’t take kindly to that sort of statement when I have never monetised my YouTube, any online activities, used referral links, Patreon, or kick backs for sales of products. This is a non commercial forum where all products are welcome.
You think you “know” a lot, but trust me, you know nothing about the things you are talking about. @Raja123 , I’m glad you liked his post, allows me to tell you; you might be too easily influenced.
@DenisS I have decided you would be happier elsewhere to spout your 2nd hand and distasteful comments, I am sure you will find platforms where these are welcomed.
