Erine has always been above board with me and not burned any bridges here......I have known Ernie EISON for 6+ years and have been more then happy with his service and will continue to do business with him in the future.

Hey Russ,

Glad you are happy with Ernie Eisnens services and that he hasn't burned any bridges with you. Maybe he twitched when he hit the 'add reply' button. Sometimes you write or copy and paste a post and after reading it you realize you will look like an a$$ so you mistakenly hit add reply instead of preview post. Oops! You've done it now! Maybe nobody will notice. I am sure this was a little 'twitch' so all will be o.k. this time. If it ever happens again I will know differently.

Matt,

I don't quite understand your point......If you have something to say then just say it......Ernie has been straight with me and so I thought it necessary to say so......Like I said if you have something to say then just say it, I don't care much for your cryptic tone!

Russ Lockenwitz

Don't take this the wrong way Matt cuz I really don't care either way, but... Ernie's post was contained in a string that was made by someone directly inquiring about you. Do you not think it was relevant? It's not like he bad mouthed you, or said anything that wasn't 100% true. I'm glad you chose the high road at the time, and I hope you continue to do so. Gang bashing someone you don't even know for posting something that you know is true aint gonna help in this regard, and this goes for all of you. Let's not ruin a man's reputation for personal reasons. So unless someone has some facts that would indicate Ernie to be a "bad guy", I'm not gonna jump on this bandwagon. As for you Matt, you will continue to be a "good guy" in my book as long as you continue to do good things. Your past problems don't necessarily make you a bad guy cuz they didn't involve people getting ripped off. So don't sweat it so much...

Hey Tom,

Well I have a feeling Eisen didn't post to be informative either. IMO he posted out of jealousy, simple. He didn't say anything. Just copied and pasted an article on the forum. Timed perfectly after a bunch of good posts. Yes it is 100% true. I also don't have any facts about Ernie being a bad guy because I have never even talked with him, let alone conducted any business with him. If he has a personal issue with me he shouldn't 'spew' a sentencing on the forum. He should have the balls to state why he is upset with me if he is going to do anything publicly. I guess because when people find out it's for no good reason it would make him look like a child. Kind of strange that someone who has never had a face to face conversation with me would like to make such a low class move. Don't get me wrong here, the article itself didn't even phase me. But in posting it, he got my competitive spirits up.

And Russ, nothing in my post was directed toward you except what I said directly to you in the first sentence.

Matt

Matt,

"Has anyone had any good or bad dealings with him?" (Ernie Eison)

I just want to say I've known Ernie for many, many years, (about 17 to be exact and learned TONS from him) and although I DO NOT condone the timing or relevance of his post in regard to your history, (cheap shot) I did want to address your specific inquiry about him noted above.

Ernie is a straight up guy, who for as long as I've known him, tells it like it is. &nbsp;He may not always use the most tact while doing so, (as in this case) but he's ALWAYS honest, and rarely pulls punches. &nbsp;I have a feeling that although some find his comments distressing, (especially if they're the intended target) most might view his comments as a breathe of fresh air in such a "politically correct" world. &nbsp;In a nutshell, Ernie is an overall great guy and genuine person that I would never hesitate to do business with, or call a friend. &nbsp;I think anyone who knows Ernie well would agree with me 100%. &nbsp;Now if only I could get him to pick up the phone to call guys he's pissed at instead of slamming them publicly ! &nbsp; &nbsp;

Sincerely,
Gary Schiavino

Matt...I can definitely relate to what you're going through! Even though I've never done any business with Ernie, or spoke with him (I think, unless he's come into my store incognito)....I have to agree with Gary....I've "heard" a lot of very good things about him over the years....even though what he did was a cheap shot! I've never heard anything derogatory about him....I just hope you guys can work this out?? I, personally, would never have a problem doing business with you (Matt), you seem like a pretty straight-forward type of person, and those are the types of people that I would deal with any time!! ....Neil

By the way Neil, I share your sentiments. &nbsp;I've personally only heard good things about Matt, and also would never hesitate to purchase animals from him. &nbsp;In fact, I tried, (baby northern emmys) about a year ago. &nbsp;He sold them in about 5 minutes !
My loss.
