WTF????

[icehockeyboy]

What is it with some members here?

Re the wanted ad I placed, I had a reply from a guy, no name mentioned ...yet! But he replied saying he could offer me the cable with a 10% discount through his company, to which I Very Politely replied...
"Hi P***, Very Kind of you, but I believe I can blag at least that from where I bought my other Van Damme stuff from, regards, Craig.

I then find a not overly nice reply from him : "Oh well, pardon me for trying to be helpful!

This is probably why I don't bother with AOS anymore."

"I was offering custom built with a choice of terminations, but you go ahead and 'blag'

Erm, excuse me for asking...but was I at anytime impolite or something, to get a reply like that?

Yours sincerely, gobsmacked of Nottingham

If you feel an AOS member, normal or trade has/or is made/making you feel uncomfortable then bring it to the attention of the Mod team and Marco if a normal member and if trade then Marco is the best man for the complaint to be made to.

We want members to feel comfortable and happy on AOS and anything that ruins that will be looked at if a complaint is made.

The use of the word "blag" probably didn't help...

It has certain discourteous connotations that some folk may be more sensitive to than others. It could also be argued that your response seemed a little ungracious, although I'm sure that's not how you intended it to come across.

Abso flipping lutely I didn't intend it to come across like that!

And how on earth can a reply that starts with "Very Kind of you" be misconstrued to be anything other than polite???

Reminds me of those posts on Facebook when a pissed off girlfriend vents about that thing their boyfriend or ex-boyfriend did.

Some misunderstanding via PM isn't representative of an entire forum community, but am sure you'll feel better in the morning.

Hi , Is this the add ?

(Got an itch, so if you are selling the above, give me a shout please! )

If it is I can't see a problem , Whoever P*** is contacted you offering a pair at a discount price , You only need to say yes or no , after all he is selling them ( you did ask ) and he did ( give you a shout )

Chill

No, it isn't the ad.

And the person involved wrote " My company has a trade account with VD, and we can supply you with some with a 10% discount"

Why should I be berated just because I politely pointed out that I could probably already get that same discount already?

As for just saying no, which obviously I would put 'thanks' after it, I would expect a question along the lines of, " well hang on, you said you were after some, did you get some already?

And then I at that stage would explain I could already get the same discount elsewhere, so why Involve someone else?

My reply, in the way I wrote it was used to save time.

'Water under the bridge' and all that.

[awkwardbydesign]

Well, I've got some, but I'm not selling them now!

[Gazjam]
