No I do not, and I''ll tell you why. Let''s say that John Doe wanted to buy a gem from a vendor, and I heard numerous complaints about that vendor on several websites and that vendor had a huge scandal which made them lose tons of credibility. I think it would be my responsibility to tell John Doe about that vendor. You may disagree, and that''s your right, but I feel I would doing a diservice if I didn''t mention anything.
See my post above.
That''s entirely your opinion, and that''s fine.

Since you don''t speak for the rest of PS, you can remove the ''we'' from your opinion and just stick to ''I''
For myself, I prefer to hear opinions from all who have them. I''m quite capable of determining how much weight I wish to give the opinion, and to make the decision whether I wish to explore first hand with a vendor being discussed.
Personally my opinion is that all jewelry television sellers should be viewed just like eBay, some potential bargains to be had...but caveat emptor in general.
Fair enough again, but I can also state that my personal knowledge and experience is rooted in watching their deceptions on live television and the issues I mentioned earlier with their website. In that regard, I am a consumer. I need not have purchased a thing, but I am watching them and their product. This is akin to going to a store, looking at their merchandise, feeling deceived by the salespeople, and not buying a thing because I was disappointed with the quality and deceptions. Does that make me unable to share my experience because I didn''t actually BUY anything? You may disagree with me on the point that I made about mentioning other consumer complaints, but part of my job as a consumer is to research complaints. It would not be any different if I was trying to get something and I researched the company on the Better Business Bureau.Date: 2/14/2009 10:34:16 PM

Thank you Skippy for your considerate post. Yes, Richard Sherwood knows his gems and what is ''junk'' He wanted to sue all of the ''gem shopping'' networks, for blatantly lying. Who should know better than Richard, about gem stones??
Can''t we even have fun post anymore? I am sorry Mochi, you posted a giggle and it turned into a debate.
What I don't get are the "some other people said on some other forums, etc., etc." posts. The rest of us don't know what forums are being referenced, can't read them, can't get a fair idea of what's being said....
That is frustrating, I know. It''s against PS rules to mention other forums. I have to respect and abide by the rules put forth in this forum. However, as I mentioned earlier, it is no secret to many of us about the quality of JTV merchandise. ColorMyWorld seems very happy with their merchandise and I wish he would open a thread to discuss his positive experiences with them, or point me to the thread that he mentioned which did have positivie reviews. I would love to read those, and be happy to know that they have some very satisfied customers that, at the same time, are also individuals that are educated about colored gems. If someone like CMW likes JTV and has had good experiences with them, I would love to read about them.
