Wow, an entire post or 10 of stupidity.

Let me try and explain this again, you are clearly not getting it. You cannot just take the amount you were spending at one host, and the amount you were spending at the other, and quote the difference as a 'saving' when the packages you receive from each are completely different. Do you really not get this? As someone else said, you can't sell a Mercedes and buy a Kia, and then claim you made a 'saving' on the same product. It just doesn't work like that, please tell me you realise this? I lose hope for some people, I really do...

I'm well aware that Godwin's Law was a joke, I was kind of hoping you'd pick up on the smiley I left at the end of the sentence and realise that I was joking about it too. Obviously not.

When you can come up with a decent counter argument to my points, I will consider replying again. But at the moment, you are just going over your smae misinformed and incorrect points over and over again.

When you say "I'm so glad you aren't in business", why? If your idea of business is just getting the job done without any thought to actually being polite once in a while and building up good relationships with colleagues and business partners, then I wish you luck, but I well tell you that you will fail miserably in whatever you are trying to achieve. Business works on good relationships & good networking, and the sooner you realise that, and start acting on it, the sooner you might get more sympathy from anyone you deal with. Its all very well to say "I'm paying for the service so they should just deal with the attitude", but put yourself in their shoes. They deal with loads of customers with problems, and get one with your attitude. You really think they are going to be inclined to help you much? You are paying them, but they are still human beings, and you need to step down from your 'high and mighty I'm paying you for a service' stance and start treating them as such. I would say that is is highly unfortunate that there are people like you in business (if in fact you are in business... with that attitude I wouldn't be at all surprised if you are not, or soon won't be).

Finally, I'd love to see you carry out these threats of legal action, mainly because it will make you look like a complete idiot (not that you haven't done that already). Go ahead and do it. We are all waiting. Oh, and you keep mentioning hidden charges, but I haven't come across any at all... I paid for my hosting, and its up and running, simple as that. What hidden charges do you keep referring to?

It *does* have a way to place (limited attribution) quotes, though I'm not so sure it qualifies as a "tool", because it is *not* very convenient. Check the FAQ link near the top of the screen to see how to use the "quote" markup if you are interested (though I suspect you were referring to a "real" quote tool ).

Quote:The rest of your(his) comments are pathetic, hardly worth anyone's further time or energy.

However, the more he writes, the more one can discern about his circumstance (which explains a lot!). Starting to sound for all the world like he got himself TOSsed, and thinks he and his lawyers are "gonna git some justice". That's such an old tired story, it's hardly worth commenting on (especially for a "journalist"); any lawyer that reads the TOS will likely tell him to go away. Of course, with lawyers, you just never know, and he wouldn't be the first (or the last) to have more money than common sense!

I suspect Dreamhost's success likely allows them to afford more and better lawyers than DaBear...( sigh is right!)

Most civilized rules of behavior do not apply here...he said he's a journalist.

We all have seen how that all too often brings with it a special sense of entitlement matched only by the degree of righteous indignation evidenced in response to the slightest (even, at times, imagined) slight. (Still humming, "Send lawyers, guns, and money...")

Man, this 'DABEAR' character is one seriously damaged unit. I can fully understand why DreamHost didn't want to continue doing business with him.

It doesn't seem to matter how many times others correct his inaccuracies, he just keeps repeating the same old crap. It's almost as if he believes that if he repeats it enough times, it will somehow become the truth.

"So let's try this again: Whether the plan is $4.95 or $6.95 doesn't matter. It does not equal the Web resellers plan from DreamHost, which includes merchant software, free dedicated IP number and an SSL certificate among other things. You can't ignore that and you refuse to address the differences."

I do not care what services they offer, they don't deliver Customer Service. I don't care about their merchant software, their free dedicated IP number nor the SSL certificate "among other things..."

They (DreamHost) are worthless in the Customer Service department. All that crap don't matter if their is inadequate customer support. And their Customer Service is substandard.

"As to phone support: Each account lists a maximum number of support callbacks per month. The plan you claim to have includes five callbacks. If you say otherwise, as you do, you're lying or you're seriously misinformed."

I don't give a damn about their callbacks. What I care about is call "ins!" If I want technical support, I expect to be able to call for it. They don't provide that. Their 24 hour e-mail return is nonsense. I've still got messages that have never been returned, the latest from December. And when they do return them, they lie. I won't put up with that kind of bull.

If you are paid to provide a service, you damned well better provide it. And you damned well better not lie to me about it.

"The rest of your comments are pathetic, hardly worth anyone's further time or energy. Don't you have a life?"

Yeah, my life is taking the lives of cowards like you and making them the most uneasy thing imaginable. Reminding people like you with your sick, sinister arguments, what putrid filth you are.

I do the same with crooks, the corrupt in business, corrupt polticians and anyone that thinks they can get over on the People. I'm a Journalist, you sleezebag, and that's why I'm here! I'm disseminating information and at the same time, I'm gathering it. I'm an Alternative Journalist, not Mainstream, and I am always on the attack!

Anybody who wants to turn their backs on victims and look the other way from the Law ~ along with those victims' rights ~ I burn piss holes into their faux "reputations" until you and your fellow pansies can't stand it anymore.

Yellow coward that you are, it didn't take long! What a stinking argument, attacking people that have morals, ethics and values, because you don't ~ and if you did ~ wouldn't matter. You're too cowardly to stand up and fight for anything that you believe in, for your own rights or the rights of others.

So you try to knock others down by questioning their "stability," when they are the most stable people alive for the morals, values, convictions, willingness to stand, fight and even die for what they believe, while garbage like you tries to "stay above the fray" with arguments of expedience and cowardice, that show what a man you are NOT, and try to avoid the face-to-face fight with everything that is evil!

Guys like you succombe to evil, lick its soiled boots, and ask for more, then try to force others to do the same so that you don't feel all alone in your cowardly little worlds.

And then you try to stroke and pollute the minds of others with your cowardice, your expedience, your corrupt ways by trying to make them aesthetically pleased by your faux, "High Road" approach and arguments, when the Low Road is where you truly operate, fathoms below the muck and the mire of your own, worthless life. Avoid the fight; convince others not to fight; continue avoiding the fight. An endless cesspool whirling your existence, all containing the effluent of your sleazy soul, down to the Devil's Den.

Where of course, you belong. However, my job is to see that you don't take anyone with you...

I've seen your kind before. Trying to make yourself higher and mightier with words ~ and those words fail you if just one person stops to examine them and consider what you have to say, or see the lack of morality in your deviate arguments. Or the hypocrisy of your high, lofty approach.

Then the Truth dawns on those others and after that, people learn to distance themselves from your low life dredges, while you ~ dragging yourself around the bottom of the barrel are telling everyone ~ "Hey! come down and join me! The slime here is so good!"

Cowards like you can't stand being alone, so strength in numbers is your faux battle cry, but all of you are cowards so you "don't" stand together. You have yourself a little sit in and don't stand at all, for anything of value. And your morals have no value, and your values are immoral.

Your argument exposes all those failures that lie within your scheming self.

"You don't like the place, goodbye"

Not a chance...I'm staying until the final buzzer. Then we go to Court and the war is on from there. I ain't a coward like you! And I don't run from the arguments of an immoral slime such as you! Nor the threats of a bunch of pimply-faced, snot nosed, pierced-lipped, tattooed rectums, running things around here ~ until they get caught, and boy, are they caught!

Nor do I run physically from the "makings" that are scum like you...

...I charge!

So stick around, Steinberg. I own you and the fun is just beginning!

"Peace,
Gene"

Your peace sign(off) shows your hyprocisy in living color ~ all of it yellow!

"...and don't let the door hit you on your way out."

I wouldn't worry about doors hitting others...just don't let the rock crush your tie dye as you're crawling back underneath it.

And I repeat: DIVARTY!

Don't know what that is!? Here it is for you:

It's an acronym for "Division Artillery," and I'm going to use it on you every time you post your filth of expedience and cowardice wherever I find you posting it. I'm going to whomp you with the words that describe your lowly life, not that which you pretend to be.

And people will listen, because with your lofty manner and the nosebleeds from altitude that your nose has been exposed to, and the scrapes on your nose from rubbing the ceiling with that rectum-plug-nose stuck in the air, and the staff infection on the end from all the brown-nosing you do and encourage others to do, the mark of Caine will be on you like the stink of your septic tank existence.

Glad you like the thread. Glad you think it's a hoot! Too bad my foot's on your neck and your face is stuck in the mud, where it belongs, with the other forms of feces that are known to lie on the ground.

Including that from things wiser than you could ever hope to be, that go "hoot" in the night when they see a rat as big as you!

I'll avoid the comments on your sanity and your unruly behavior, and the fact that you seem not to have time to do anything but write messages here.

But I wonder: What is your domain? I'd like to see just what you are getting so hot and bothered about. Care to point me there?

Peace,
Gene

I like your post.

Only one problem: I have asked for, then demanded, contact with their Attorneys from the start.

Why haven't they presented any? Why are they hiding?

And yeah, I've noticed too...there are no shortages of competant Attorneys.

[genesteinberg]

Your site's URL please?

You know mine. It's in my profile.

Please reciprocate so we can learn the truth behind some of this.

Peace,
Gene

Too late on that, Peacenik. And for the record, I haven't broken any chairs, tables, mirrors or glass windows...nor tamed any tigers nor cleared any bars. What unruly behavior? Standing up for myself?

"and the fact that you seem not to have time to do anything but write messages here."

All I'm doing is courtesy responses. It's my day off. It would be rude to post, get feedback, and not respond. I'm not like the rest of you...I will answer every word. I will not shine you off over sanity issues, over issues of stupidity, delusion, illusion of grandeur, whatever. You take the time to respond, I'll respond right back. But Truthfully. You get exactly what I know and/or what I believe. Period.

"But I wonder: What is your domain? I'd like to see just what you are getting so hot and bothered about. Care to point me there?"

Once they're all back up online, considering that they shut down roughly 64 of them. Not one, but 64, on their ridiculous claim of late payment, though the matter was contested, particularly after they wrongly charged my account for moneys they weren't entitled to, and upset my finances for a period of a minimum of five days when other payments had to be made as well.

So, the moment those websites are ALL back online, I'll be glad to show them to you. Over at HostMonster.Com.

Due to the size of a number of the websites, it has been a slow process. It will likely take the remainder of the month.

Ah, excuses, excuses. So they shut you down because you didn't pay them their 79 bucks every month, or they did charge you, but it was excessive. None of this makes any sense.

Tell ya what, let us know some of your URLs now, and we'll check them out when they're up. What are you afraid of? Oh yes, maybe we'll learn they're not registered on DreamHost after all.
