Critique of EmJay07's blog, part 2

As stated before, EmJay07 and I had a bit of debate regarding TVI Express, and he had decided to post his comments as his own blog. Here's the second entry. Did it unveil any more truth than the first one?

His main complaint about my blog entry is that I "seem" to have ignored the fact that TVI Express had always maintained that "taxes and processing charges" are always to be member responsibility.

Unfortunately, he cannot provide any outside proof that TVI Express "always maintained" such terms and conditions either. So again, he chose to pick on one aspect of my assertion, but provided no counter-proof.

The best he can do is point at the CURRENT TVI Express webpage, where "except taxes and processing fees" is hidden in a bubble box that you only see if you leave the cursor on the line "7-day 6-night accommodations". That proves the disclaimer is there NOW, but proves nothing about before.

Though he did got me on one point: I can't prove it WASN'T there before either.

I then presented a copy of the certificate itself, which mentioned nothing about taxes and processing fee. Then the part about the borders being stolen from another website.

His counterclaim was just that my facts about "pirated" borders and other matters are "not relevant". Consider the implication: if TVI Express don't blink about that stealing that "certificate" border, which it had sent to a million people, what does that say about their ethics or code of conduct? But according to EmJay07, it is "not relevant". Yet he previously claimed that TVI Express *does* have a code of conduct or code of ethics (which nobody had seen). Does that code of conduct apply to TVI Express itself? Apparently not.

Another thing to think about, folks. Something that costs NO EXTRA for 17 months (since January 2009), suddenly costs $150 after June 9th, 2010. And EmJay07 still concludes its a "great deal". Maybe it is, but that's up to you to decide. 

What EmJay07 did NOT tell you... If it costs $150 to redeem the 7-day 6-night, then what is that initial $250 for?  To qualify you for the $10000 payout, of course. That essentially PROVES TVI Express is a pyramid scheme, since that "7-day 6-night" thing is clearly NOT part of the $250. So they can't even claim that $250 buys the "7-day 6-night" product any more.

However, as always, "make an informed and educated decision!" that part, I do agree with EmJay07. I just don't agree with his implications. Make up your own mind.
