Soaring Community Consumer Warning

Me thinks ;-) someone needs to consider apologize for a very poor policy, very poor treatment of some customers and move past this. Do the right thing rather than have your buddies try to explain your very rude behavior away as "good business."



Before it gets any further out of hand. It's spring, soaring season is amping up and everyone is on RAS, talking via phone, email, in person at glider clubs and (of course) on the social sites...



Just sayin...

Thanks so very much Sean for pointing out to the poor old fogeys in US Soaring that we are hopelessly out of touch with 'social media' and that - gasp - some of us are still talking on the phone to each other! We are surely blessed to have someone of your generation to flog us mercilessly into understanding that.
There's actually a UK TV series that my grandkids love that is dedicated to a person of your smarts (listen to the lyrics, folks, sing along). I'll get into trouble for this, but here it goes...

If I was younger and less mature I would finish with: just sayin...

Bill Palmer: THANK YOU for Glidersource.com. My Genesis 2 is now online in your classifieds with all the details. Good interface, easy to use, the way it ought to be. Including being use-policy clear and unconditionally "User Friendly" on all fronts. This is how you benefit the soaring community.

Thanks Bob, my pleasure.
I see you've posted 3 nice photos and linked to your FLICKR.com collection for quite a few more nice ones!
Everybody should go check that out!

Bill, I'm sure the Facebook Soaring Want Ads page is high on the Wings and Wheels "black list." But there is probably a fair chance the individual in question is unwilling to use Facebook so maybe we can get away with "cheating on W&W!" Absolutely hilarious.

And to the few frustrated folks who have been reduced to complaining about grammar and spelling errors associated with cell phone typing while in a cab, literally, (wait for it...................), kiss my ass.

If forum posts on topics such as "soaring supply vendors making a conscious, public effort to control the "lucrative" want ads market" was worth the time it takes to correct cell phone typing errors I would probably do so. Unfortunately for you it is not. I could not care less.. Obviously you cannot argue against my points, so you try and point out spelling errors like little school girls.

I suggest staying focused on a the very poor treatment of customers and the lack of any such written conditions on said site regarding said policy.

I suggest that people avoid any vendor with such ridiculous business practices (written or unwritten) unless said apologizes publicly and/or ends said policy via a written statement on said website in a timely manner.

Cheers.

Sean, this will be my last conversation with you as you seem to be slightly
unstable. In reply to your invitation about kissing, I can only reply, "Go
f**k yourself." You're a miserable ****ant who's so full of himself that
you're worth no more effort.
