Oh please. Behndy has been extremely forthcoming and transparent here. He has quoted directly from the emails with the Luck Duck guy, so we all saw that he said and did. Luck Duck didn't just make a mistake. He made several decisions that I think were in the wrong, and one specifica action that I consider ethically and morally wrong.

The main thing that I find really shitty was editing his website post-hoc with his refund/restocking fee rule after this whole thing was already going bad, just to fuck over Behndy's Paypal dispute. (and yes, he did do this, we have Google cache proof) That's deceptive, slimy and wrong.

I fail to see how Luck Duck is, in any conceivable way, a victim here. He brought this shitstorm upon himself by mistreating a customer (which is a terrible thing to do when you are just starting out a small business), and now he has realized that that was wrong and is trying to control the damage.

Also, for such a premature company to get a ton of negative/false shit written and passed around the internet over (for all you know) their first and only "mistake", is probably more damaging (more-so in the short-run, but still) than you might think. I saw the YT video, and stumbled on here pretty easily. While I do think most of you are here cuz you're simply bored, it does seem like a few of you know a thing or two about what you're talkin about. My point to that is, all of you knowing how a small company who is too young to have a lot of good stuff out there about them could indeed be hurt by an equal or greater, and truly unfair, amount of negative stuff- you sure are quick to side with the only perspective of this thing that's being put out there. Which is undeniably natural- I mean you're all fond of each other it seems, and you know each other on here, and it feels nice to band together and support your friend who is supposedly being treated poorly, by what you are all describing as an evil monster who barely deserves to live, much less be good at building unique effects and attempting to be a successful small business in an ever-growing market. But I mean c'mon. This is more than likely a first and completely isolated incident, that you are obviously only hearing one side of. I've seen a few people say stuff in defense of them on the video, and maybe one or two on here. But you don't see anyone who actually knows both sides say anything, so they're seemingly defenseless, and that's never a fair fight.

And from reading the way you were all so quick to attack this company, I wasn't even surprised to see that once Behndy posted about what seemed like a pretty damn good resolution, you still couldn't drop your pride and admit that maybe you were a little quick to judge them. Instead you justify your previous arguments/"points" by saying, oh it's just cuz yer so "popular" and they're so afraid of you. It's like, get over your damn selves. Yea, maybe any bad exposure IS hurtful to a small company, I mean that's not rocket science. What happened to grace, and trying to see the good in people/support people rather than being the first to try and destroy something over what appears to be a very human (as I think someone else said on here) mistake.

Again, mind-blown by the way everyone on here was so quick to bash Luck Duck Pedals. It actually makes me sad.

(Also, I know I'm gonna get a tonnnn of negative responses to this because I'm obviously the only one here who isn't "friends" with behndy, --hence, the one-sidedness that's present on this thread-- but whatever, I don't have anything else to say, I kinda sat back for a while not wanting to jump on here for that reason, but I want anyone who stumbles on this to at least have the thought that this is definitely not the best method of deciding who to support or not).

Ok. I can see where I went a tad far with the whole bed post bit, but it's annoying when someone joins just to jump up in arms for an obvious dick.
