If you aren't going forward, you are giong backwards

Normally I just let hissy-fit guys fade into the sunset to lick their wounds, but since BB has declared what losers he thinks we are, I feel justified in adding my opinion here.

BB's problem is that he says too much in his posts. He would be better off stating his purpose succinctly, waiting for others to respond, and then adding more. As it is he shoots his entire load at once with over-editorializing, thereby making his points thin and opening himself up for people to reply with differing perspectives, hence making him feel he has his reputation to defend.

It's definitely not cool to slam one's peers and then go storming off, but that's just what some people do when pressured or challenged.

I think his problem is that he is long-winded and a bit of a blowhard. He has strong opinions on everything, not just on the topics he is an expert in. You can be a master of a few trades, but not everything. Everybody has that one specific school of knowledge or field that they are experts in and can go toe to toe with anybody who challenges them, but he carries himself like he's a master of everything. He has a lot of excellent insights from time to time that have given me a new way of looking at things, but too often his posts are larded up with condescension and pretension that it's just too irritating and obnoxious to read. Most of the time I find myself scrolling past his wall of text to get to the next post.

And he has no business calling any of us losers, especially the cuckolded restaurant manager friend of his who is making an HONEST living, even if it doesn't allow for a luxury car or an upscale condo. I clicked on his profile page and found he listed an IM handle of Black17Media. I googled the term to see what that might bring up, since often times people use the same handle across multiple message boards and social media sites. It's enlightening, to say the least. Makes me really question just how much of a success this guy really is in running his own business and how much he really has his sh*t together. Based on what I found, I wouldn't hire him to build my website.

Haha, I just did the same. If that's him, it IS very enlightening. I guess it goes to show you shouldn't really trust people over the internet.

BB has said that 85% of his income comes from betting on horse racing, so I don't think his web business is his main thing.

Nevertheless, somebody that gets an "F" from the Better Business Bureau shouldn't be clowning on a guy that makes an honest living as a restaurant supervisor. Glass Houses and Stones and all of that.

A man of high character wouldn't be classified as a fraud on basically every ratings site on the internet.

That said I don't think it's fair to pass judgement as bb isn't here defending himself. My point is to just be wary about taking advice from people on the internet. Your own imagination is the only restriction to what you can become behind a computer screen.

That's fine, my purpose isn't to pile on a guy. Nobody's perfect. We all have stuff in our pasts that we're not proud of and we're striving to overcome. Just don't come at me like you're the teacher and I'm the pupil when you are far from together yourself.

Well I did a little DD on BB's company (which is located on his profile) and was sent a few things from other posters, and wow. I'm really surprised at all that. Numerous reports to the BBB along with violations, revocations, and an F rating, lots of terrible reviews on various websites, an entire thread devoted to him and his company on another message board and the various people who appear to have been ripped off, even a horse racing forum where it appears he gets into the same arguments and drama (and then he leaves) as he does here.

I am not saying this to rip on the guy. Deep down I have always said he seems like a decent person. But I do have a hard time with him coming on this website and calling people here (and his friend) losers and degenerates and then leaving, as he has done countless times now, when quite frankly, he has a lot to look at in the mirror himself.

Goes to show ya, you should never trust what you read on the internet.

BB you know I love you man but I have to say few things here. Thanks for sharing the story here. I don't think you should have gotten involved in this drama. The EX will be talking how bad the guy is for next month. You will have no choice but to listen to that crap. The ex-bf will hate you. All your friends will be nosy and start asking questions for next six months. If you take sides you make enemies and nobody want's to be part of gossip or be on your toes. Stay neutral next time. Why couldn't the ex -gf get here own apartment something furnished right away for a month while she figures out her living arrangements? .. I would love to hear if you don't mind sharing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Chasing the money and material things is the worst mistake because it takes honesty and genuineness out of you. It's a train to that cold lonely place. I think values and integrity must come first no matter if you are at work, at home, in school or god knows where.

One day we all will die our time will come. Do you (not BB but everyone including myself) want to be remembered as the HUMBLE man with values and integrity that has touched lives in a positive ways? Or the snake that was swinging branches for the next best thing without regard for other people?

While some of that is true about my background, and all of it I am very proud [/B]

Hey I never would have thought all that about you.
What parts of it are true, seriously?

What kind of a place is this country if even sane girls like Iqqi have bizarre backgrounds like this?

What have you people been eating and drinking?

Just compare with Europe, gosh.

Well said.

I notice we have yet to hear from IQQI since she made the infamous "BB is better than all of us statement", only to find out his business is less than, lets just say stellar.

Lets see if she has the guts to show up here again.

I always suspected bb was a con. He his the biggest blowhard on here something is not right with the guy.

Boilermaker · Jul 21, 2012

how is backbreaker is going and conquering the world while he spends hours on this website everyday is beyond me.

I can barely come and see what the discussion is about, and he puts 8000 posts in what ? a year ? ....

Get a life, brother. Seriously.

The answer isn't here. It's outside, this forum is just a tool to get better.

Married Buried · Jul 21, 2012

Here is another board talking about him being a con man.. his username is Toussaud over there

wow this is like Tiger Woods all over again :crackup:

Brandon D Washington is a grade A scumbag with a grade F rating

Warrior74 · Jul 21, 2012

Wow. F rating with the BBB? How does that even happen? Oh wait, if you don't pay them, they will run you down. My buddy was a member, was an A+ guy, zero complains. Didn't pay his fees and suddenly 8 complaints and a D rating. Pays his fees, still have the complaints, has a B rating.

It's smart business to pay the graft, ESPECIALLY if you are going to hustle people. I know some scummy car dealership owners who should be shot who have A ratings. The BBB rating and complaint system can keep customers from going to court and can give you time to reslove all the issues. It's the cost of doing business.

He's on a Pook/Fingz level in real life with his achievements, and while it feels good to come here and try to provide some insight to people who aren't there yet (and quite frankly will never be), the back patting and idolization has helped him become stagnant in his own goals. No one here is really in his league, no one here is exactly his peer.

It's one thing to help another man up, and another thing to just hang out at those lower levels all of the time. You absorb from the mentality around you.

One of my favorite quotes: "Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone." - The Dhammapada

I had to quote this for the good laughs.

thanks iqqi!

Jitterbug · Jul 21, 2012

iqqi will be back after the surgeons get that foot out of her mouth. Not the first time she's done so, but on this occasion, it's lodged rather far down the throat.
