Critique of EmJay07's blog, part 1

Recently, a fellow blogger EmJay07 engaged in some interesting debate with me in my blog comments, and I see that he had started a competing blog, which he named "Unveiling the Truth". If you want to read a pro TVI Express viewpoint, go right ahead.  However, how much truth did he unveil? Let us find out.

First entry ever... He claims I gave people the wrong impression that TVI Express is misleading people into believing that Warren Buffet invested in TVI Express.  You can read the comments here where we discussed the issue.

When I provided examples of the people who claimed Warren Buffett invested in TVI Express, he claims those are just unscrupulous distributors who lied, and TVI Express cannot be held responsible for lies of its distributors.

When I pointed out that TVI Express should share part of the blame for mangling the quote, has no code of conduct / codec of ethics, and had not publicly banned any members for unethical behavior, he claimed he "personally" knew some people who were kicked off, and that somehow proves TVI Express have a code of conduct. However, he provided no verifiable proof for his assertions.

I guess Emjay07 is calling his unsupported personal opinion "truth". It is up to you whether you should believe him or not.

However, I must thank him for at least a somewhat intellectual debate, even though he did threw in some subtle insults here and there.

UPDATE: I see he has posted our entire comment-sation on his blog, and claimed victory. Well, go ahead and read his transcript, which appears to be accurate, but what exact did he claim?

He wrote: "you will easily figure that TVI Express in no way has indicated that Warren Buffet or any of the public figures listed there has endorsed TVI Express or even has any relation with TVI Express."

But what I wrote is: "But did you ever wonder just WHICH companies was Mr. Buffet was referring to? It sure was NOT TVI Express."

So we actually agree that TVI Express was NOT invested in by Mr. Warren Buffett, or Berkshire Hathaway

Who's unveiling the truth?

The only truth here is "Mr. Warren Buffet had NOT invested in TVI Express". 

The rest are all assertions by EmJay07, and what proof did he have to backup his assertions? Nothing. 

So what truth did he unveil?
