Andrew, Chris obviously has a vested interest in seeing people stick around and not get scared away. And DeJay (Simply Glass) is an all-around GREAT guy. So the fact that they’re taking up for you is nice.
But honestly, none of us really have much respect for things like lying, stealing, and blame-shifting. Especially combined with a complete lack of teachability, humility and your braggadocios attitude.
Now, you don’t owe any of us anything, except for Tory, who you owe an apology for stealing from him.
But… If you want to be accepted by the forum, then:
take all the crap from Tory’s website off of your website. Let us know when that’s done.
Stop bragging about your daddy. That’s annoying.
Don’t blame other people for when you do things poorly (or illegally).
Don’t call Larry (llaczko) “bro” or “bruh” ever again. That’s just too weird. (I mean, he’s OLD after all!)
Don’t disrespect established, well-liked and respected forum members. Or any forum members, for that matter.
After those 5 things are done, then be quiet for a week or two… but keep reading and learning. After a little while, start asking some real questions… not this dumb “I made $116/hr today, and I’m worn out! Is that just me?!” crap. It will go better for you then.
I dont know all the ins and outs of this but I see this a lot on other forums. This sort of bickering hasnt taken place on WCR since I’ve been on here and thats about a year now or so. That’s a really long time for an internet forum. He should be given a choice to make tings right or get kicked off the island. Ownership of your actions is one of the most important attribute for any business owner. I wish i could stop clicking on this forum but its like reading a tabloid.
I used to religiously hang out over at NWCD before this forum existed I learned a lot but then there were these judgmental jerks who liked to nit pick everybody and be the spelling, grammar, morality police. Now I got back into the forum groove here, and here we go again (oh and one of them is the same guy, hmmm). Don’t you have windows to clean or dictionaries to spell check and contact Webster’s and let them know they’re wrong. Get over yourself.
If your saying that is the reason you left that other forum don’t worry it’s really not like that here. Just some guys that get board and pick a little too much some time but its not that often. If there is a such thing as a home for window cleaner then this is it! 99% of the people here are really great guys and most of them are very helpful. Im not really sure where my business wold be without WCR and the members,
Good point Larry. There certainly is a difference between maturity and morality. A well-raised 5 year old can exhibit morality- a proper sense of right and wrong. You can be mature, carefully thinking out your actions and the consequences of them, being patient with others, etc. and have no sense of morality.
Apparently plagarism runs rampant among other window cleaners as well. The second paragraph on the commercial page of Andrew’s website is found on at least 5 other window cleaners’ sites.

I don’t think the kid is going to come back after that whooping. Not to say hes not wrong for what he did. Fix it and apolgize and all will be forgiven. Youth brings stupid mistakes, hell its half the fun. Trust me there are plenty of days I still see myself as a dumb kid making dumb mistakes.
I guess I don’t know if permission was granted in every case. At this point, it seems safe to assume that Andrew didn’t have permission to take any of the content he used on his site. It seems ignorant to assume that Andrew is the only window cleaner to take content from another window cleaners’ site without permission.
