Basstiann, since you're one of Ryan's competitors in the Chicago market, I would think you'd have the courtesy not to use this forum to try and smear your colleagues. I read your long post on a different thread, and I read Ryan's here. You would benefit from some of his education and humility. RyanCross, marylander1940 and Basstiannn 1 1 1
+ APPLE1 Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 He's not close to me and not my type. However, I am sure it doesn't really require knowing him as a competitor, or potential client, to assign the word rude. It really only requires the ability to read a rude and condescending monologue written by Ryan. Likewise, while I can't testify to his education, reading his writing allows me to assume he wasn't an English or hard science major. His poor grammar, punctuation, and logic skills don't support a degree in those fields from a good university. + DrownedBoy and RyanCross 2

To quote the first sentence of his post: the people who is writing here are probably just frustrated guys 😆 RyanCross and mike carey 1 1

You can ask me to write on any of the books on my list and I'll ask you to do the same with your list, then we can let the others decide who is better spoken and possessing of more depth. I must say though, those who value grammar at the expense of substance tend to never impress me much. JourneysEnd 1
RyanCross Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 Basstainn need not worry about this challenge. I'm well aware of his superior intellect and gracious humility.
TJMS Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 RyanCross, i am confused. Was Basstainn referring to you or another person commenting on this thread? In my humble opinion, you express yourself beautifully! JourneysEnd 1

Welcome to the forum, very few providers contribute but some occasionally read it to keep an eye on their reputation. It's easy to write about a provider on here and say something good or bad about him even by those who never met him or simply don't find him attractive. The longer you stay in this forum the more likely for posters to mention you knowing it's not a fair game because you're a public persona while we are anonymous/private. My best advice, keep working hard, build up a clientele and have one of them check this site to make you you're not being smeared.

Some trolling attempts already... That's true of any message board, though. By and large, trolls get bored and toddle away if they're ignored. Personally, I really value the input of the providers who post here and I think Mr Cross sounds like he has interesting things to say. Plus, there's always the possibility of his finding work here. I've met a couple of providers through this site, one of whom is likely to become a firm favourite. RyanCross, mike carey and marylander1940 2 1
