The day i respected Rudy on a new level was when i watched him hand someone their ass on a silver platter in a business deal because he tried to screw him over. Today is that day for you sir. You handled it like a man. Thank you for confronting people who can’t handle being called a little name.
Thank you for your contributions to Flesh and Blood, Saint. My dad went through a messy divorce, so I understand it can be quite an ordeal for you good sir. I fully support you.
Oof. That was a long video. Appreciate the openness and yeah, hard honesty. Although we never had any dealings I respect you for the service you provide, both with the company and as a collector/tradesman. Funny side note: 2021 was also the year I won several giveaways, just not in FaB but in Magic. I have no clue why I should feel entitled to anything by these donors but perhaps that's due to me having some decency. Btw - sorry to hear of your "struggles" like that, and even friends down in Florida perhaps hearing of it through some YT video/comments. BUT in the end, I hope it can all work out for you, your family, friends, business, and team runaways.
Hey Saint, i turned 41 years old this year. I feel i understand where you are coming from. I went to i believe the first youth tournament in neutral grounds. My friends and i walked across the George Washington bridge to get there and took the ferry back. As youths playing mtg and seeing this space expand throughout generations. It makes me happy and gives our gen a sense of stewardship. That said, the new generations need to carry the mantle. You have done your part in upstarting LSS in the short term. Over the longer term the new gen will have to experience what magic did for us. We were nerds and outcasts. Playing magic gave us a sense of community that was lacking in high school. Nerd culture is socially accepted now. Then we transitioned into online poker our gen. Then into crypto, it is all a evolution from the skills we learned playing mtg as kids. I maybe overgeneralizing this evolution of our gen. I feel the essence of the comment is i hope this stewardship isn't a burden for you. The next gen will carry the mantle. - Lincoln S
Everyone sucks here, He shouldn't of shared private DMs that had no relevancy to the topic at hand, but you provoked him by naming him in a public video. You could of just blocked him and moved on after it was clear to you he wasn't going to take a hint, instead you chose to escalate. It's just bad behavior being justified by bad behavior; bad look as a whole for the entire community.
Great video Saint! Very good food for thought for people who are doing FAB deals. Was terrible your privacy was violated and time wasted. You have been an incredible ambassador for the game and are a true die hard for FAB.
Very glad to hear your side of the story, Saint. Even with just Alex's side and interperetation you were, at worst, a bit of an asshole. I actually despise the people on Twitter who are all "FaB iS fOR EveRYoNe!!!" until it's someone they don't like
Not a fan of saint so i don't usually watch his content but that being said, it's 100% fucked up that alex leaked the divorce. I will say that saint was not as obvious as he thinks with his messages saying "he's not interested". Using the hot girl analogy, he should of just said "not interested, thanks for reaching out" and then if alex kept messaging just block. I think this is just miss communication + lack of experience from alex + saint's inflammatory character = this drama
Honestly I think it comes down to don't blast ppl 🤷♀🤷♂🤷♂I think that goes for everyone in the story. I'm not sure what anyone thought was going to happen here.
The American dream! It's adversity and triumph that builds character and self respect, not excuses and self loathing. Hope this Mr. Sneed can do some reflecting and learn from this, as we all can to some degree. Thanks Saint, you're a real one brother!
Yeah, Saint, I saw that guy's video via the Riddler's assessment video. 1st thing I thought of was "oh shit, this guy is posting Saint's in confidence/private messages". Then it became like Fatal Attraction like you rejected him and now he wants to bludgeon you in the bathtub. The assessment I made in my mind (a formed opinion) was that this guy is ---- this part of comment deleted as to not risk hurting anybody's feelings ---.
Have you considered following the advice on your shirt? All you had to do was say sorry I'm not interested in buying right now, feel free to sell elsewhere. Hell, you didn't even have to disclose why you weren't interested and you would have been fine. Also the comparison to catcalling is deplorable. You're in the position of power here, to even think it's remotely the Sam experience is awful. This sint some drake levels roast, it's just people failing to communicate like adults and it's a little sad tbh.
I mean Saint did already? He told Alex that the price was way off and no way they’ll come to an agreement so he didn’t want to negotiate, and for multiple times? It’s Alex kept pushing, Saint tried politely saying no, then not responding, then a short No, then the bad words. Also I think the key point is they’re not really friends, just 2 grown man doing business. You don’t have to be patient/nice for some random stranger keep pushing the edge of your business.
You don't have time to open judge packs but you have time to make an hour long rant video about a guy who wasted your time?! I'm ngl i laughed really hard at that.
I am so sorry saint that your going through a divorce. I have many friends that have went through this, and it hurts me to see them going through this type of pain. It hurts me to see you going through this type of pain. I wish you healing for you and your family. I mean this from the bottom to the top of my heart. Family is everything.
Saint talking about self awareness throughout the video couldn’t be more funny. Oblivious to how this video makes him look. I don’t even think he’s wrong for having these opinions. But I know the internet is not a fan of funk master flexes… We don’t care about your time and the time he wasted Saint! That’s a you problem, so keep this rant to yourself bro! But if you don’t, that’s cool too. It’s great content for us gossip guzzlers
Unironically using phrases like "it costs nothing to be nice" and "be better" is crazy. Being treated nicely is a privilege that's earned by one's own actions. I almost never blow up at people, but some people DO deserve to be spoken to harshly sometimes. IRL twitter-soyjaks grasping their pearls at slightly spicy dm's show how coddled they are.
Saint I think you are technically correct in this instance, but this video comes across as incredibly petty. I’m no psych but this seems like you’re projecting your frustrations over other issues onto this individual. All he seems to have done is been a time waster which is annoying, but is it worthy of a huge rant video? Damn.
It seemed pretty obvious that he was saying in relationships, a give-and-take is needed for it to not become a 1-sided burden. No one has the capacity to freely give their time, energy, or resources to everyone who asks for it. This is a simple, mature take on things, not him being mean.
@@AzakiahIsYourOnlyGod i would agree with that for sure,and it did seem like the guy was pestering him and didnt pick up on it,but i think its safe to say he did explode on the guy.
@@Paradoxed25 it does seem like it was a slow burn issue though of instead of been directly clear he gave signals and blew up at the guy,the whole thing seems just kind of stupid on both sides,sounds like it was the needle that broke the back and saint unloaded then this dude equally unloaded.
Good to hear the other side of the story! Your responses may have been crass, but context is everything. Not cool of him to dump an entire private discussion👎
Watching Alex Sneed's video is him calmly just explaining his side of the situation and being upset he got called a jackass in public when the DMs shared show him politely asking if you wanted a deal and you guys disagreeing on a price. You getting asked by a supposed friend if you wanted to buy stuff he was selling and you were just an asshole to him after he thought you were friends. Im sure youre annoyed people ask you to buy stuff all the time, and sorry you have your personal issues happening, but like, you're just being a complete dick to Alex for apparently no reason. This entire situation couldve been solved with you just reaponding "sorry, not interested" but im sure your time is worth so much you cant type 3 words. Also, you claim you said "not interested" over and over yet you literally never said no in the shared chats. If you said no weeks earlier then he likely wouldve just went to someone else to sell.
Except he told him in the beginning before they even started - we are not going to come to a deal here because of where you are at price wise. Alex then proceeded to do the exact opposite - then got mad when saint didnt entertain that. Lol
1) saint never explicitly said they wouldn't come to a deal, just that it was unlikely. 2) Alex was open about getting shown where his numbers were off after getting told they're high. 3) again, saint never outright said no to a deal, at best he just hinted at it, and 4) Alex never got mad. You and saint are adding your own sentiments and tone to a text message. Again, this entire situation wouldn't be happening if saint just wasn't a dick to Alex. Could've stopped before it started by outright denying the deal - "sorry, not interested", could've stopped if he didn't ghost him then get annoyed by a handful of messages a week apart which led to him acting like a dick and telling Alex to f off, and also could've been kept confidential by not name dropping Alex and smearing him in the last video. 4 steps all caused by one party. Just read the texts with the video muted and show me where I'm wrong here.
@@ajwebberLiterally first screen shot "we won't meet at a number you're satisfied with and I don't have time for the back and forth". That's pretty explicit.
This was awesome! I’ve played and collected fab from the beginning, but I don’t have a single social media account so I have no idea who these people are. If someone put my personal life out there I would react much worse….a sick part of me hopes this has another chapter, but for Saint’s sanity I hope it is put to rest.
