Quoted from paul_8788:You have mentioned your connection to Heighway multiple times on these forums, so like it or not you are going to be judged in some capacity as representing Heighway until your work with them is done. In my opinion, you can't have it both ways. You can't be an external cage rattler just giving your opinion on their competitors and be working for them on the very thing you are criticizing about.
I know I personally would have less respect for Heighway as a company if I thought they were aware of the constant bashing you have been doing to one of their competitors and haven't asked you to stop. It isn't classy behavior and I would hope that they wouldn't support it.
I have more respect for Heighway as a company for hiring someone with passion in art, and the capabilities to make really great work. Add to that his honesty, and ability to both constructively criticize and compliment when deserved, and you have a great asset to Heighway, and to Pinside.
