I'm sure JJ never wanted some flame war over dropping his prices. The fact that the CEO posted that thread is a notch down on that company in my book, but let their actions speak louder and so forth.
I recommend not going over there and causing a lot of trouble, especially if it all degrades to name calling and personal attacks. I did a price comparison between CJV, AN, and IA the week before and noticed the price discrepancies in AN's favor. It was kind of a surprise considering the pricing for the rest of their site is slightly higher, but I chalked it up to business strategy. I applaud JJ for his response to stay competitive. When it comes down to it he has to run his business in the black every month and it doesn't matter how. Fortunately in this case the consumers get to win!
