They will be soon if they keep treating their customers like shit. Wtf?

[sonicl]

I dunno. Maybe some of their customers deserve to be treated like shit. Like, maybe they expect people to be mind readers when they're not. If people do that, it's inevitable that some people will treat them like shit, don't you think?

[dirk diggler]

What about a loyal customer who minds their own business and is just trying to buy some records who submits an order that never gets sent and who has a half dozen emails nicely asking why ignored? hmm?

[DJ Rick]

I've never had a problem with them.

Did you register on a message board just to talk shit on FE? It looks that way.

I might be more concerned that it was true if you had at least a few dozen posts on a variety of topics under your belt, but this looks like a vendetta.

[dirk diggler]

Why should how many posts a person has on a message board have anything to do with how they are treated as a customer? That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. I have no vendetta. Just telling it like it is.

[DJ Rick]

It doesn't have anything to do with how you were treated. I'm just saying that most people don't register on a message board to immediately begin a topic about how a generally well-respected distro sucks. We have no way of qualifying your opinion. Especially given how anonymous your SY-board identity is.

[sonicl]

I often liken this place to a favourite bar, where people go to hang out and talk about this and that.

If you were in a real life favourite bar with your mates and some stranger came in and the first thing he did was to start mouthing off about stuff, would you welcome him with open arms? Or would you think to yourself that if he's always like this then maybe that explains why people treat him the way he says they do?

[dirk diggler]

What part of what I've said so far would make you think I deserve to get treated like shit just for wanting to buy some records? I mean, sure, you guys can try to gang up on me for simply stating my experience but quite honestly I think that makes you and FE (who I guess you're trying to stick up for?) look silly. And I would certainly question your motives at this point. Believe what you want.

[sonicl]

I'm not standing up for FE, actually. I haven't mentioned them once. All I've mentioned is your attitude.

You've had as much of my time as you're going to now. Goodbye.

i've been having a bad experience with aurora borealis, i finally managed to get a refund two days ago for something i ordered in april

[dirk diggler]

Hmm. All I said was they treated me badly as a customer. I didn't get personal or anything. That means I have a bad attitude? I think you've got it the wrong way around, pal. And yeah, please feel free not to waste any more of your valuable message board loser time on me.

Okay, now that's a caveat emptor that I'll take to heart!

Oh, grow fucking up.

[dirk diggler]

You losers must be real gluttons for punishment. As loyal fans of Sonic Youth you've grown to accept being treated like shit by record store creeps. Good job. I want idiots like you for customers when I start a business. Just note that you're fans of Sonic Youth and I'll be more than happy to treat you like shit. Sheesh!

[Everyneurotic]

i have a lot of mailorder stuff that hasn't arrived, mostly from labels.

but i think the mail in general's being very slow lately.

[DJ Rick]

If you are not a bullshitter, you will eventually post something interesting somewhere else that we can learn and grow from, or at least share chuckles about, and then we can revisit this topic with some belief that you're not singularly focused on spreading negativity about a mail-order that many of us have trusted for a couple decades now. So, what will your seventh post be about now?

Your hackneyed login name also doesn't help your case. You might've come up with something more original if you thought about it for a second longer.

[dirk diggler]

Yeah, you mean something as witty as DJ Rick? How do we know that you're even a real DJ and not some loser posting from his mom's basement? I mean for all we know you might be the kind of jerk who spends all day every day on websites like Terminal Boredom talking bullshit. I guess that would make you an authority on everything, right, asshole?

[DJ Rick]

Now you sound like a weird cyberstalker who knows my usual internet haunts.

You're off to a smashing start here.

[pbradley]

Wow, this new guy sure is defensive. Could have done the whole "I've been a long time lurker" route and returned to the topic at hand. Guess not. Have fun writing a lot and saying nothing, guys.

[DJ Rick]

Yeah, I'm done with it.
