Pretty much at this point everyone has an opinion and no one needs to state theirs. If People don't want to support him, don't go to his show but all the bickering is doing is justifying why I don't come on the forum much anymore. The argument isn't 100% kevins fault, although it all revolves around him. The lack of enthusiasm to come on the forum anymore for a lot of people lies on anyone who wants to continue to peck at kevin to get a response when we all know what it's gonna be. Grow up and walk away. Let your attendance, your money or your participation do the talking as that will get you better results of accomplishing what you hope happens then sit here and waste your time bitching and complaining does.

Actually Kevin getting grilled for his stupidity is amusing and well deserved. "Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes"

Yea, I had heard that you and Chance had split under bad terms. Sorry to hear. Partnerships are by far the most challenging business arrangements because of the inherent stressors involved (financial, emotional, and physiological all rolled into one) It is something they mentioned in grad school that I will always remember: Parnerships are like marriages, only worse.....not only are you intimately involved in every aspect of running the business, but must concur on every decision no matter how big or small the issue. Just imagine having to follow your wife around everytime she goes clothes shopping, and then being forced your input on every dress, slip, sock, underwear piece, etc. You'd drive each other mad!

I can't play sides as I know very little about either of you two (I mean, at the personal level) but I do know that neither of you are crooks, murderers, or rapists, LOL, so all is good. :)
In all seriousness though, Chance did inform me of your breakup but never attemped to coerce me into barring you from the show. All is good.....unless I misspell your name badge? LOL
well I appreciate the benefit of the doubt you gave me , but you did get one thing wrong chance is a crook and he has screwed people over including me , my time money hard work, blood sweat and tears that I put into chance of coral then into titan coral wholesale and that was thrown all away over bad business decisions and embezzling....so yeah he is a crook. the only reason I got paid out half of what I put in was because I had spoke to a lawyer the bank and the police and threatened to press charges.

So your opinion is that you avoid this forum because of bickering, 100% of which revolves around Kevin, due to every single other user on this forum being childish and needing to "grow up and walk away" when he goes on his regularly scheduled meltdowns. That seems like an odd interpretation of reality, but whatever works for you...

Nah I think Kevin's is full of it. I'm in no way asking anyone to tone it down. He deserves all he gets. Jeff is just trying to do the right thing but in reality thinks very different.

We are... I was a vendor... I helped out at LARS, SCAPE and aquarium hot deals... I tried to diffuse scary be said in earlier post... You think i didn't want people to go...? Man... I wanted a ton of people to go including all my friends... But like I said before, I only saw a handful of them...

It's not fair... We vendors put a lot of time, effort and money into this thing... I spent the whole 3 days there and that cut away from me saying my kids... If i had to do it all over again... I would've just paid to get in on Saturday and stayed home the rest of the weekend...

It was so dead, we are running around shooting eachother in the dicks with rubber bands and no one cared... Lol...

Whatever man...

meltdown? where when?

the only thing I see are the same half dozen (cough) gentlemen trying to convince people what a horrible person I am.

Let's tally shall we:
Kevin and Tammy, both handicapped, manage to do something for the entire community.
We bring you the Marine Aquarium Expo, nine years in a row
we bring you dozens of coral sellers
we bring you dozens of manufacturers
we bring you dozens of attendees (laughing at myself on that one) Honk! Honk!
we bring you dozens of thousands of dollars in raffle prizes
we bring you things for your kids to enjoy.....
the list goes on and on.....


Well Mr. Organism/Miguel/SCR member Guy (esq is it? no?)
It seems that you are so intellectually endowed....
please do us all wonderful favor and tell us what is it that you do for your fellow man...
anything?
Putrid.

See you at next years MAX? Doubtful...

and you are proud of that statement? are you sure?
Are you proud of all yours? Are you sure?

I think you missed the point of what this thread is really about. You should go back and reread this thread and see if you can figure out what everyone is telling you. It's painfully clear to everyone but you unfortunately.

/thread done#

So what about next year? Don't leave us in suspense LOL

Interpreting reality.....HAHAHA. REALITY is the fact that whenever he posts something you call a meltdown, what is it that you and a few others do? You come on here and argue and try to bad mouth the guy even more so please explain to me how what you are doing is any different than what he is doing? He expressing his opinion how he wants and so are you. All the while he's probably sitting at home laughing at all you getting riled up by what he has to say. I highly doubt he will ever lose an ounce of sleep over any of your opinions and he's made that pretty clear.

He may not lose an ounce of sleep but he prides himself on doing something good for the community by putting on this show. I can't even imagine how much time and work he and his wife put in to make the show happen throughout the year. The issue is that the because of how he handles and communicates with members of this reef community the show seems to be going down hill and may not be around much longer. This would be bad for everyone in the community.

Most of the successful business owners in this community have the thinking of making customers happy and treating them well. That is how you get repeat business and good word of mouth advertising. I hope there will be some changes so that MAX can get stronger and continue going on for years to come. Look what happened with RAP. The guys who run it treat people well and look how huge is has grown in just a few short years. Not just the local OC RAP, but also now with NY and FL shows as well. You treat people right and with respect (on and off the forums) and it will work out well for everyone. You put people down and call them not smart and unreasonable and well the opposite happens.
