Damn. Marc Lazar is the definition of “red flag.” I would avoid anything he touches based on his post above. Anything.

To paraphrase The Simpsons, Communism also works, in theory.
I opened the thread curious why a years-old thread was popping up, only to see posts between two people who have clearly minor beefs with each other, that also have some fairly tangential connection to wine, in that it all took place at a wine storage company. I am skeptical their airing out their differences about why they don’t like each other will add value to the board.
If you don’t like my posts, you likewise don’t need to respond to them if they don’t meet your sensibilities.
I’d call myself “curmudgeonly”.
??? It on topic for the thread. Former wine storage customer of the wine storage business in the title of the thread, with a response from the principal, named in the thread title. Seems like a disruptive, upsetting, bizarre, petty, and possibly illegal threat over pretty much nothing, not a petty beef.
Illegal? I don’t know - maybe I’m just reading this differently.
I believe Kevin was referring to Marc Lazar, not you. It most definitely spot on to call Marc Lazar “touchy”.

At what point after a multi year campaign of lawfare and posting of legal claims that end up as giant nothings is a response no longer ‘touchy’ ?
I just noticed this now !! Thanks !! Although I don’t use it anymore (at least not for those who RIP).
I have no dog in this fight but I think the thread is garbage and it’s flat out wrong to bring this headline up again after 3+ years of nothing.
I call on the mods to lock it so it can roll out, or just remove it, again just seems wrong.

I didn’t bump the thread. I only happened to respond because I saw Domaine Storage in the subject line. As I clarified in my post - and I will clarify again - I do not know Marc, and he does not know me. I’ve never interacted with him and can’t speak to any alleged criminal wrongdoing at all. My post is only regarding his (or somebody else’s) “leadership” at Domaine Storage. This isn’t the first thread to have slight thread drift and it certainly won’t be the last.
I was not expecting him to reply, but when he gave a “sometimes a relationship just isn’t working out” type response, I had to correct the record. The “relationship” was working just fine from their perspective until I asked publicly if anyone else was experiencing delays far in excess of what was promised when I signed up (and often times a little bit of runaround on when trucks were actually arriving, etc). As somebody who did not live in DC and traveled 2 hours each way when I needed to exchange wine with my locker, I needed to rely on their timing since I pretty much had to schedule and block out a whole day to make a trip.
I bumped this thread for general awareness of what kind of person Marc is because he started to post again in another thread.

Possible, although Justin was responding to my comment. Not very many Marc’s with a “c” out there.
I think his comment for Lazer being “touchy” is related to his felony conviction, see first post.
I didn’t call anyone anything other than calling Marc L the leader of a company that behaves in ways I don’t appreciate.
Ah, my bad! I thought J. Singleton was “Justin”. Sorry about that.

I’m not a lawyer, but there’s a certain duty of care with other peoples’ property. Laws vary and details matter, but an unconfirmed notification with a fairly unreasonable timeline of burdensome action (30 days to find alternative and available proper storage and get 1000 bottles safely transported) or the 1000 bottles would be brought and abandoned in front of his house, along with a bill for the transportation. It sure seems like if he didn’t consent to the wine being shipped and some or all of it was damaged or stolen, he could go to court and win whatever value he claimed. That the court wouldn’t be the least bit sympathetic to Lazar. It would take a lawyer familiar with the relevant laws to determine if there was any unlawful coercion or anything like that there.
