Suffice to say, if you're a PR marketing guy and you feel like you can rant, no one will notice if you give a really unprofessional ridiculously inappropriate reply to a customer with a legitimate complaint, DON'T DO It! And here's why:

He evidently had gotten to his job by claims and threats, not by performance.

And notice the huge difference in tone between his boasting, threatening messages and his sniveling whining ones.

I'm starting to feel bad for the inventor, although he should have vetted his PR firm better.

Hysterical, brutal, and deserved.  Ocean Marketing is good as dead now.

Edited to add: he's dropped his last name and changed his company name to Ocean Distribution on his LinkedIn page (only partially.  In typical slipshod fashion, his Summary refers to Ocean Marketing, and his Testimonial gives his full name.  The guy can't even edit properly).  http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paul-c/1/295/835

Status: offline 		I particularly found this part very amusing, considering everything that's gone on:

"Last, we believe in the power of great relationships, founded on honor, accountability and being responsible – and we value being there for people and their business --- when it matters most
1. Our clients' interests come first. Our experience demonstrates that if we serve our clients with excellence, our success follows.

2. Integrity and honesty are at the core of our business values. We expect our leaders and people to maintain high ethical standards in everything they do, both in their work for Ocean Marketing and in their personal lives."

People can be so darn interesting!
