Personally, I didn't mind your initial post about being skeptical — that thought occurred to me too. But then you posted several more times about your skepticism without going to kareem's page to double check your skepticism, which I thought was unfair. On his site he makes it pretty clear what he does and how his consulting work fits into that:

Plus the guy blogs pretty regularly. My personal sense is that someone who writes an article sharing his process and results for free deserves the benefit of the doubt — and at least a few clicks around their website to check it out — before posting in a way that suggests that his integrity may be suspect.
- ThomPete 14y agoI am not sure I understand. I never questioned his integrity. In fact I think I went to great length to say that it was not him but that post.
- kanamekun 14y agoIntegrity is more than soundness of moral character; it also refers to someone's honesty. When you say something like, "Now I am not sure whether I should trust the results"... I think you're implicitly questioning the author's honesty. Same goes for this: "It's just when you have been around on the net as many of us have for so long you just realize that normally if something is too good to be true it probably is." Anyway, don't mean to debate you on any of this. You had asked where you were wrong, so I just thought I'd share how your comments came across to this outside observer.
- ThomPete 14y agoI was commenting on the "I produced these great results. Want to buy some of the same?" which is archetypical in sales. That has nothing to do with the integrity or honesty of the person, which I have repeatedly praised. It's the difference between saying "you are X" and saying "what you said is X"
