What would you say if you found out that a "reputable" Tuner was lying about mods?

I would have to say I do not know much about tuners or what they claim, but if this whole thread is over that youtube video than people have too much time on their hands.

From the looks of it, someone is really salty! I definitely hit a nerve!
I think everyone can read between the lines here. If I cared enough to bust this person out, I would have done it and in person. I flew down to Florida a few months back on the same weekend that the Exotic Rally mile event was being held. I chose to spend the day relaxing and shopping rather than go to watch a boring event with inaccurate timing equipment only to prove a point which I could really care less about.
My original post's intent was to expose the shady business pratices used by a certain tuner without exposing the person who shared this information with me to a lawsuit. I hope I have done that and am sorry I had to go about it a round about way. I'm much more of a directly to the point type of person by nature, so this was very frustrating to me also.. Trust me when I tell you, this person (who disclosed the facts regarding the business practices of this tuner) is very reputable and had no need to lie. I can honestly say that I was entertaining the idea of having Renntech tune my car until I was confronted with this information. Not too crazy about having nitrous sprayed in front of my car while it's on the dyno. That was a C63 btw.
a message to the tuner and involved parties:
"Bob-O-The-Hut".........how would I know that name? You know that I know.........would you like me to disclose more? I won't even get into the C63 stuff. Every time you post something cute, I'll uncork a little more of this genie bottle I have.
The ball's in your court.
