Exposing Gottaknow

maskedman · 05-08-2004, 12:26 AM

Hi there, I am very experienced tanner, and someone who has had a hands on involvement in the tanning industry for the past 4 years. You don't know me, I want to remain a secret, because of a certain party on this website.
As many of you have witnessed, there is a member named GOTTAKNOW that is seriously out to ruin everyone's time on the forum. It seems that everytime that someone asks about solutions or lotions or equipment, GOTTAKNOW is quick to point out that Rio is owned as part of a conglomorate of other lotions companies. He mentions over and over that Biddiscombe are the same company. I've dealt with both, and although someone maybe on top of both they are very different companies, with very different lotions and very different sales reps. Just like Rio and the other lines they represent! It really is up to the individual to find out what they like. In the long run, does it really matter who owns who, as long as you're getting a quality product?
Why GOTTAKNOW? WHY do you insist on trying to spin the natural way that businesses do business into being scary??
For instance, someone asked about a lotion, and instead of offering feedback on that lotion, you jumped on the owners of the comapny and said be careful... Why does making more than one line of lotion make you untrustworthy? You have some serious issue.

All that is fine, but why did you feel the need to become the "masked man" to say that? Just tell him under your real name, you'll have much more credibility. What you said is by no means controversial or rude, so I dont see what the big deal is. If what you said is true, I'm sure there are many others who share your sentiment...

You are right masked man. Gottaknow has HER own purpose, promoting Breeze and kickin her competitors below the belt under a mystery name. Thats fine if she were letting everyone know she is with Breeze. But to be a moderator and talk poorly about her competitors seems bias to me.Thats why you believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. And why is she allowed to be a moderator and do these things? Notice how she has not commented on this specific post.
