Guys... i checked the post. I must say im not really following AM anymore sinc nothing seems to change there and i gave up on them long ago.
Regarding the bet. I wish you would have been more clear about what the bet is about. Talking rubbish can mean lying, speaking nonsense, dumb things and so on. The examples mabsark gave seems to show that real informations are missing so everything that could be done is guessing about what is going on. (As if it was another way since a long long time.)
I cant see why you wanted to make a bet about this because both of you cant proof that the other one is wrong. There are simply no informations. And speculation about AM is around since ages. That means negative and positive spekulations.
So guys... since your rules werent clear from the start i cant judge who won/lost. Its part of speculations that you dont know the truth. So negative or positive opinions about AM are fine as long as there are no facts stating something is a lie. When the facts come later then previous wrong speculations would be still only speculations and dont turn to lies. Because the facts were missing.
I hope you solve your dispute but in my eyes you fight about nothing. You dont have facts. So i suggest use your time for something you can build on.

Sorry that i cant help.
