What a gentleman!
Today at the local post office the owner of [deleted by mod] told my wife that he was going to "tighten up his shoelaces and give her a good kick"! Then he told her "you don't even weigh 30 pounds... I could crush you"! (She actually weighs 98 pounds, but with him weighing in at 230 I don't think she would put up much of a fight)
What might provoke such rough language towards my "flaquita"?
She didn't even know who he was, but when she noticed that he was taking pictures of the addresses on 2 ukuleles that she was shipping, she politely asking him to stop. He denied any wrong-doing, and when she told him that he was lying he went nuts and started threatening her! Luckily, the crowded post office quickly came to her rescue and reminded him that in this country we don't speak to our women that way. [deleted by mod] continued running his mouth as he walked outside of the post office.
So now, as a proud husband, where do I go from here:
A) *****Edited upon further reflection
B) *****Edited upon further reflection
C) Expose him for the fraud that he is on Ukulele Underground
I think that I will go with C for now, but I haven't ruled out the other options...
As many of you out there have been so fortunate to already experience, [deleted by mod] seems to be prone to temper tantrums. He threatened to sue Ukulele Underground and Facebook on 2 different occasions if they did not immediately remove threads that exposed him for what he is. They weren't legally required to remove the threads, but they obliged him because they realized that they were dealing with someone with a few screws loose.
[deleted by mod] attacked me a couple of times on Facebook, but overall I have been indifferent towards him. My main issue with him is that I don't like the fact that he buys his guitars from an existing luthier, and proudly flaunts them as his own.
If you have ever considered a [deleted by mod] Guitar, please support the luthier that builds them and buy the guitar directly from him instead. His name is Sergio Zepeda, and he lives about 1 mile away from me here in Masaya, Nicaragua.
[deleted by mod] lives in Miami and visits Nicaragua once or twice a year. Yet, he loves to post pictures of him in Zepeda's shop and act like he is a big shot luthier. PM me for Zepeda's information and I will gladly give it to you. Zepeda deserves the credit (and the income). It is ridiculous that [deleted by mod] relabels Zepeda's work and charges 5x what Zepeda asks locally.
Sorry for the long rant, but when someone threatens your wife it stirs up all kinds of emotions. How could someone threaten to "tighten up their shoelace and kick" someone so sweet?
