People like you give us proud Americans a bad name. The English are our allies. They are the only ones who continue to support us, no matter how much the rest of the world hates us. If you want to be a douchebag to someone, insult the French. :lol:

On the subject of Farrel.
Do you seriously think that guy would go out of his way to help people for only the break-even sum, he claims?
Pull the other one.
There is no way on earth he comes across as having helpful tendencies.
He is reminiscent of Mr Burns, from the Simpsons.
Have you ever had a look in the surgery section of his site?
Well, isn’t he is quick fire on that censer trigger! He’d certainly give John Wayne a run for his money with his hand on that trigger, that’s for sure. The amount of posts he deletes displaying the truth, says it all.
I’ve seen a lot of intelligent and respected posters on that site question him why, for example, he would delete a certain post - more or less asking, what he has to hide through deleting it.
The intelligent ones only go so far with the questioning though - because they know what the implications are. Only the posters who are shorter in the brain department would question Farrel for more then a couple of sentences.
Most stop questioning him full stop, because they are scared of having their account removed. Those who do question Farrel for more then a sentence are never seen again.
If you question Farrel, you are either
1) Not very intelligent.
2) You want to risk being banned.
He’s an unreasonable person who doesn’t like being questioned. It’s his site, his rules and he is always right.
End of story.
All in all, he thrives on the fact he could ban anyone at the flick of a switch. He has banned countless of users for next to nothing.
A lot of them are regulars who did next to nothing wrong. Some only went as far as questioning his actions. If they was spamming or creating real havoc then he would have a case, but a lot of the banning aren’t for those reasons.
I wonder if he personally thinks that he is living up what his site promotes and that is to offer hair loss help. He has no idea some of the implications his petty bannings could have on some people.
He bans users that genuinely require hair loss help. In my case, he banned me for joking in the open forum. I was a regular user on that place for 2 years and never used any foul, abusive language or created any trouble on the forum.
I personally made sure I didn’t.
I had a known depression for hair loss.
I required the hair loss help he advertises, mixed in with a bit of light humour to lighten things up. Well, he banned me from the open forum, because he already told me once not to joke in the open forum. He banned me at the time when I needed hair loss help the most.
I documented my progress on that page for 2 years with photos only for Farrel to finally ban we my hair was at its worst.
His site caused me even more depression with my hair loss.
I go back and have a look there now and again, only to see people using fake handles against him calling him all the names under the sun. Am I surprised? Not in the slightest. The way the he goes about having power, gets under the skin of a lot of people. People who are less forgiving then I, are always going to go back and spam his forum with their angriness.
All of the other sites quietly get on with their business, yet Farrel is the only one I have seen who has rivalries with other hair loss sites.
What does he think this is? - An hair loss equivalent of raps mid 90’s east/west coast rivalry?
Who is he, The Notorious F.U.E
Is David from hairsite Snoop Doggy Plug?
I can see from the proverbial mile away that people won’t argue with him due to fear over being banned. Some even resort to mild ***-licking in order to keep in his good books.

Yep, Farrel is completely annoying. This site is much better IMO.
For the record, I think that he has stated that he does make money off HLH. He said it is "small relative to the work I put in."
The hair transplant section is especially shady.
I wonder how much he nets? I would say six figures, easily. I wish the admin for this site would volunteer his opinion.

Sorry, I didn't see this thread until now:wino said:
Here is my take on the above comments:
1) It sucks owning a site. There are guys who come here and question my "motives" for things when I swear I've poured my blood sweat and tears into making this the most pure, genuine web site of them all. The sad reality is that you have to have a thick skin to run a site like this, or be in any leadership position, because someone will *always* accuse you of the worst. Always.
2) I don't think Farrel would mind me speaking for myself, him, john ertel of regrowth or David from hairsite when I say all of us make money off of these sites. We have to, in order to invest the amount of time we do into them. I am a firm believer however that the amount of money you make does not necessarily mean your ethics or decisions are controlled by it. This is entirely dependant upon your upbringing, and what values each site owner holds to. I can only speak for myself, and I would rather bail on this site than ever let anything control what I do or say with it ... whether it be a business like Merck, or an immaterial concept like the love of money.
3) Sometimes I think site owners experience something I call "hair loss burnout". Sometimes they hold back for so many months that eventually they just go on Banning rampages. I almost did it 2 weeks ago when people were repeatedly implying that Merck controlls this site, and that I've sold out. As a site owner you try to hold back and allow people freedom of expression. Sometimes though, you quite simply just get so fed up with it that you just start tagging people left and right until the bad seeds are completely gone. I have not ever done that. Usually I find the genuinely bad seed's and remove them individually. A grand total of 2 in the last 3 years. But Im sure many of you remember seeing me threaten a banning rampage quite often! It's funny ... because Im sure if we all met in a bar somewhere, we'd all be good friends.
Farrel and I have had years of disagreements, and outright fights ... Farrel and David have fought publicly .... People have trash talked John of Regrowth for his policies. David and I have gone at it. All of Davids users hated me with a vile disgust for awhile there because of my position on all their bandwagon jumping and incessant promotion of extremely questionable products. The drama is and can be endless.
In the end, we all realized that it was just easier to accept eachothers differences and try to work together. For a long long time, Farrel was probably the most upsetting person in my entire life. I am sure he might say the same of me. The disgust we had for eachother was vicious and volatile. There was a time where I was thoroughly convinced that Farrel was the antichrist, and that he was sent from hell to be the one thing that would always cripple the success of this site. I *know* for a fact he thought the same of me.
In the end, the exhaustion and disgust with all the negativity resulted in a civil conversation, several months of building trust again, and communication communication communication. Since then I have gotten to know Farrel as an individual, and unless he's a great actor, I realized what I mentioned above - we'd all get along if we'd met under different circumstances. Even the biggest dick can turn out to be a good guy after all, if the setting is corrected. I hope I qualify for both sides of that coin, because I can be a real dick sometimes too.
