There were two situations that I can think of, and he was correct on both counts. One vendor was grossly mis-representing both the power and country of origin of their product. In that case it was the forum members that recognized the ludicrous gains that were claimed that commented first on those. Nameless was not the only vendor that commented there, but perhaps the most passionate.

The second situation was a vendor mis-representing the materials used in their system using material that was less expensive than the one claimed. The vendor in this case was either grossly ignorant, or deliberately lying. But that blew over rather quickly since the members here are mostly rather ignorant about materials as well, and the vendor didn't really focus on the product anyways.

If it was about one-upmanship there would be a few more side by side pictures of Perrin v Nameless welding...

Yes, Jason is on my friends list, but that came from discussions here and their (formerly, unfortunately) inclusive and open approach to R&D.

To be perfectly honest, the quality of the Motiv pieces seem to be the best on the forum so far.
