Quoted from coasterguy:You guys. Really? His comment was in poor taste and you fricken know it. Get over yourselves with this "I deserve to be heard about my EXPENSIVE hobby problems" crap. The economy talk is pretty lame too. If the economy was so bad you would NOT be in a LUXURY hobby forum in the first place. Just get on with be adults already. NEXT.
1)Maybe its in poor taste, its arguable to be honest.
2)Im guessing the economy part of your post is directed at me and I am "lame"
3)I guess its just adult to call people low class.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Quoted from markmon:Popping that kind of stuff on the company's facebook page is hardly just stating your opinion on how you spend your money. It's trolling.
I never called him low class. I called the action of trolling the vendor's web page low class. There's a difference. One is name calling, the other is disapproving an action (not the person).
60% of the time, Markmon is right every time.
Edit----although posting it to their Facebook page kinda gives the impression they approve of the wording.
Quoted from RobT:Actually Stern did no such thing.
Well, somebody did, and they are going to pay the piper and hell's coming with me!
Quoted from RobT:Are you saying that we are *not* nerds and/or geeks?
We are all super cool dudes, thats where Ive been going with this the whole time!
Quoted from Guinnesstime:I don't have a dog in the fight so to speak (although I'd buy a MET pro if there was a snowball's chance in hell it'd be done soon), but I found another example of complaining on a company's social media feed
