He wasn't very calm in his second most recent video. The one that supposedly set Twisted off in the first place. Rip addressed these rumors in that video first, and he was clearly agitated. But, to his credit, he handled all of this very well.
A lot of this stems from Rip's refusal to engage anyone. He doesn't hobknob with other reviewers or "vaping personalities", and doesn't go to vape meets. Which is fine. Who can blame him? I don't like that he doesn't engage his fans in any way, but I suppose that's probably for the best also.
I watched both of those videos.
Rip denied taking compensation for HARDWARE reviews. I believe that.
He never spoke about juice reviews. Which was one thing he was accused of cashing in on (or trying to). Perhaps he skipped over the juice accusations, or maybe he didn't deny it because he has asked for compensation with juice reviews. Who knows.
Some dude spreading third hand information, is just plain stupid. Glad to see the article you wrote, letting people know what a worthless FUCK TwistedLiar is.
Rip doesn't engage people, because he is a SMART businessman. He has built a brand/image and he doesn't open his piehole and destroy it. Besides, I am sure the dude is pretty shy. Maybe he just is NOT a people person. None of it really matters, ya know? Rip didn't deserve the character assassination he got from a useless douche.
I just can't get what people think Rip, or any one doing review/articles/blogs/etc. OWE people. He does reviews and videos. What does he OWE his followers and people that watch, other than HIS
honesty? Fuck the lot of them. They aren't paying him one thin dime for his time or services.
