just an opinion (thats still allowed here right?) from someone who has never dealt with tom...
a) hasel nga yung dinala nyo yung amp/gitara nyo napagkalayulayo at mamaliitin lang ng isang puti.
pero disisyon nyo parin ang pag benta nun. did he hold a gun to your head? ano mas gusto nyo yung nahasel kayo o nagoyo? para sa akin iuuwi ko nalang yun, ibebenta sa iba, at sasabihin ko sa mga kakilala ko na wag na makipag-deal sa taong yun. kesa naman pumayag ako sa raw deal at mag mukmok/umangal sa internet. if the deal sucks you should have had the balls to tell him that to his face. pinoy pride diba? hindi dapat kayo nagpaintimidate tapos iiyak sa internet. confrontation is meant for the moment, not after the fact, its just poor form
b) so you got burned. you have every right to tell your friends about it, leave testimonials/warnings on forums etc. but to go after issues such as his immigration status and his personal hygiene is just petty and takes away from the real issue. following this logic, you should also go after indian nationals na nagpapa 5/6. i would say a lot of them are guilty of the same "crimes"
c) i think that someone who has taken the time to answer questions/post pics on tom's behalf doesnt deserve to be attacked for any questionable behavior on the part of his associate. its not like its a corporation where the poster actually represents the party concerned
may mga veiled threats of physical violence pa...
dont get me wrong: im in agreement with you guys, bad trip nga talaga yung ginagawa nya kung totoo yun...pero dapat pinakita nyo yung angas nyo sa harap niya, hindi yung pagkatapos niyo nagpalamang
hindi na kailangan ng mga movement movement. dont put up with his bullsh*t, dont smile and nod, dont say "its ok". then he'll get the message
