Yeah. well, I was trying to be polite and reasonable, not a jerk.
I don't think I said anything especially pompus. I could have said what someone else did, that he sounded entitled and crazy. You know, when I was 20, someone questioned the way I communicated something to someone. And while I could have been offended, i LEARNED from it. I was trying to offer him that thought. On the other hand, perhaps people like that are not very self-reflective. If he finds it works for him to be rude and belligerent, Ok. It just sounds like it DOESN'T work for him. He gets burned alot. and I was just saying what I thought he might consider that it is HIS behavior. Maybe it isn't. I was not there. But I've done every job known to man, from working in a parking garage to a a video store. and if someone talked like that to me, I would make them leave. People online think that they can say whatever they want. Its true, its a free country. But don't expect others to accept it. That's not pompus, that's called decency.
No worries. I am logging off and won't be back to quarrel.
Thanks for the info on good/bad vendors.
I'll come back to report problems.
