ultimatestreetfighter - too long, didn't read the whole thing.

i was hoping that ryan would give DETAILS about the shady stuff lloyd was doing to make him leave the team. but instead he opted to remain vague. what a letdown.

I must say I, too, don't mind hearing the actual facts about actual events. Putting in a few of those paints a better picture.

His letter omitted that.

I personally know people who have illegally downloaded music, who have the temerity to call Hitler a bad guy...and now this! The hypocrisy of people is unbelievable...'let he who is without sin', and all that kind, good-natured, pacifist-type stuff Marcos Avellan obviously practices in his personal and professional lives.

Holy shit, he words real good too!

Seriously though, worth the time to read.

And for those who thinks he might be making unfair assumptions, I've experienced a few TLI seminars.

They had one gentlemen selling his management secrets series. The guy actually talked about how he was inspired by Machiavelli's "The Prince"...a famous play not written to be a blue print, but rather to expose the evil of Medici Family, who he believed to be entirely corrupt and ruthless power mongers

one person's evil, corrupt and ruthless power monger is another person's idea of success.

success demands sacrifice.

it's a shame that our species is nowhere near doing it without "cracking a lot of eggs".

humanity is definitely the most f***ed up species.

of course it is our duty to foster a healthier society, and that demands that we encourage good behaviour, and discourage bad behaviour.

GrahamJ 2 Member Since: 1/11/13 Posts: 168	Agreed. It's creepy as fuck that this guy's still hanging in there. Is there any chance Cornelius will be leaving - or does it look like he's turned his back on his family, and human decency, in order to win sporting contests...? You have ignored this user.

GrahamJ - Agreed.

Was hoping he'd make a break after the Europeans but it appears that Lloyd's hooks are deep. I think that he'll leave in the long run. Ryan, Fowler, Wilson Reis, Jared Weiner, Nakapan, Dominic Cruz and I believe Justin "Chim" Garcia have all left. If the people that have spent the most time with Lloyd have all left what do you think the future holds? Phone Post
