G-FORCE damage control

[Geno H]

Today I recieved an email from a well known Coach. I wont put his name out there. His accusations were a little surprising.
. I will sum up his e-mail as simply as I can.
# 1. You take from the hobby and give nothing.
# 2. You always state you are attending a tournament/League/event and never show.
# 3. "Act" like a great coach and have accomplished nothing.
# 4. You have a "know it all" attitude, and in reality know nothing.

# 1. Not true. I have donated several entry fees to tournaments just to help support them. I have sent bases to worthy causes
such as kids leagues,Coaches in need etc.etc. I spend countless hours on the phone answering questions from Coaches
always empasizing what works for me. Nothing more & nothing less. I have sponsored MFCA members & the MFCA itself.
I have donated complete 35 man (figures/tweakedbases) teams in our Tornado Alley League to new coaches
# 2. True. Trust me its not by design, but yes it has been unbeleivable how my plans get ruined. No argument.
# 3. ????? no details given...... I have made some great friends ....Does this count???????
# 4. I know one thing......I have lost ALL respect for you.


G-FORCE has been super slow filling orders since late April. I am in the process of fixing this problem and I will make it
right with EVERY Coach. TRUST ME. I have had my share of problems, as some of you know and I have had other
problems that no one knows but my wife. I will not cheat anyone out of anything. I apologize sincerely for the delays.

I have put this post on this forum as a form of damage control. I am well aware of how the "grapevine" works and I simply wanted to
set the record straight.

I know you well enough. You would not steal a penny from anyone. Do NOT let attempts to blind side you make you feel as though you must retaliate. Conserve your energy for more worthy causes and do not waste it. Matter of fact, tell them to go pound sand and be done with it.

Sorry you had to even deal with such silliness. You have real issues to contend with and do not deserve to be targeted for the ghetto gotcha game. Send em my way. I'll send em packin. BET!

For the record, I have not spoken to Geno in months. Not even a PM or email exchange. I am posting this strictly on my own behalf. Mods, feel free to do as you see fit with my response.

Hi Geno,

Greetings to you my friend. To begin with you showed class by not mentioning the name of the coach. I have never met you but feel that I know you well enough to know that you are honest and have never come across as someone who is arrogant or who knows it all. It is unfortunate that you had this experience but do your best to move on and if nothing else you now know where you stand with this coach.

You know that I agree with these guys, I already PM'ed you about it.
Just keep doing what you do, the hobby needs it.

[The Rookie]

I personally have had business with you three or fiur times and have had no problems and really think you help the hobby out very much.

Geno has also gave me a prototype item to try to see if it would work .

He also ask me not to say anything about that gift
sorrry Geno i let the cat out on that one but it needs to be said.

Dont worry about one individual

I don't normally get involved in this "stuff", however, this one hits close to home. I'll try and keep it short, positive and concise and respond as I would do for any of the many kind folks that have helped me, which, in it by itself contributes and gives to the hobby...

Geno, amongst others, reached out to help me learn to tweak back in Jan. as being brand new to the hobby...Since then, I cannot begin to tell you how many of my stupid questions he has answered over the phone. He has been a mentor to a "newbie" and is now a very, very good friend...he has given and given of his valuable TIME and taken nothing from me, so YES, being a friend is an accomplishment...promised to keep it short.

Sincerely,

Joe Ram

You took from the hobby the concept of the triple threat QB and gave the hobby the touch distance QB. You had the absolute nerve to take from the hobby again by taking the concept of the same triple threat QB and giving the hobby the touch distance kicker. I have to agree with the guy who said you take from the hobby. I disagree with the guy when he said you don’t give back to the hobby. Geno your work has changed the game as it is known today.

A while ago I placed an order with you that got lost in the shuffle, and you were very apologetic about it, when I brought it to your attention. You sent me my order, and added extra's at no cost. I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, but in my book you are a STAND UP MAN, and a credit to this hobby.

...in dealing with Geno. The man works hard to make sure the customer is happy. I won't embarrass him in telling a story of his kindness to me in dealing with one of his products but the man went beyond what most cats would do in a similar situation. In fact, I'm gonna buy more of his stuff!

Why can't we just all get along and enjoy this hobby.
