I am really hoping this is real. Grammar and spelling aside the jist of the post rings true for me. The way all ASIC vendors so far have forced the community to shoulder ALL the risk basically is unbelievable for a newb like me! Add to that the absolute trainwrek PR and customer service shown by the current players and I feel like this isn't the real world anymore but some wild west cowboy shoot out!
Hey man, I think you might have a viable lawsuit on your hands if you were forced to purchase something. Did they use a gun or a knife or something? Was your family being held hostage until you ordered? If you were forced into ordering something, it's under duress and you aren't liable for any contract you signed. You should definitely consult a lawyer, I think you have a case!
BTW - just out of curiosity, which vendor(s) forced you to order?
