Suggestion for box where alarm monitoring failovers from landline to cell phone - when landline is cut.

I guess that leaves you out.

Phoney complaints filed by your pals are of no consequence.

No one cares what you think.

Your own posts in this newsgroup would make for a very interesting discussion before the rest of the board (you'd have to sit that one out). Can you imagine you trying to uese quotes of me arguing with these morons as "evidence"? Next I display a printout of every one of the personal attacks you've levied against me in the newsgroup. Then I display a printout of these same jerks (your pals) gloating and "praying" for my death when they learned I have cancer.

Good moral character? You are sadly lacking there, pal.

Ah, but due to your provable, lengthy history of personal attacks against me, you'd have to recuse yourself or face charges yourself.

When I showed the state investigator the things which you wrote about me in a public forum, he was aghast. Any normal person would be. The problem is you get enough encouragement from a few lowlifes here that you have misled yourself into believeing you can say anything you like in public about another tradesman, despite your position on the ECLB. You are wrong, sir.

Count yourself fortunate that I'm not litigatious and that I have no interest in obtaining a license. If I did, I'd bring up every one of your childish, public indiscretions before the rest of the board, not to mention the AG.

Wow.

Norm, I think we should consider ourselves lucky he has " no interest in obtaining a license". That saves me airfare to tell the board what he did to me.

It saves you an hour of listening to his Yankee accent.

I keep hearing this from your pals at CHA, you have yet to acknowledge the FACT that non-customers can not file complaints. The BBB will not post phony complaints, they investigate each one and require a proof of purchase.

Actually. You're wrong there, Graham. There are certain circumstances in which a "non-customer" *can* file a complaint against a company (be it "member" or "non-member").

No. They won't. They, in fact, don't post the actual complaints at all. They're divided into several distinct categories (all of which are listed on Bass' BBB record). More-over, they will only provide the details of the complaints to the authorized representatives of the company being complained against. This includes the individual's name, address, and purchase details. Most people who actually take the time to file a complaint with the BBB have fairly detailed records that include contact dates, the names of the individual(s) they talked to and the nature of their response.

Yes, they do.

If that's true than I mis-read the rules. I looked into them when some folks directly or indirectly accused me (and you were in the group too) or falsely filing complaints against Robert Bass. I have NEVER filed a BBB complaint in my life, much less about RLB whom I have never dealt with in business.

You are absolutely right. I did not mean to imply the complaints themselves are available for review.

Yes. I was merely trying to make sure that Mr. Bass was not accusing me of doing harm to his business by making false complaints.

The whole implication that I did such a thing is offensive, and bordering on libelous.

And that's good.

You don't have to buy something from a company to complain about it's service. That being said, the BBB *will* investigate every complaint, and forward the details of said complaint to the company under investigation. They are given every opportunity to respond *before* the file is closed with a "no response" or a "failed to respond" comment. They do, after all, have to ensure the process remains as transparent as possible to both parties in the complaint.

He has stated on numerous occasions that we have filed false complaints. Fortunately his lies are not supported by the BBB complaint process.

Bass has actually "crossed the border" on several occasions. Considering his own well documented history on Usenet, I wouldn't give anything he says much credence.

Yes, it is.

I was thinking along those lines and also of a question that appears on the license application itself. "Have you ever practiced electrical or alarm contracting, in the state of Florida, or any other jurisdiction, illegally?" (without a license). Didn't he practice up north without a license for some time? He wouldn't lie about this, he would have to answer "yes".

who is the other tradesman you are refering to?
