I saw that. Well I broke down and jumped on the bandwagon.

A pair of raccoons just walked by my window.

For once I'm staying away. I refuse to argue with someone that retracts what they have to say when the sentiment of the community does not go their way. That is smug on a level that should just not exist.

Hope they weren't rabid! :eek:

Bravo, CM! I went back & looked at said thread & was pretty shocked that the OP went & retracted all his posts -- esp. after engaging for so long!:confused:

They moseyed back into the small wooded area behind my hose.

my plea to end the violence went unheard.

And to balance everything out, I got this response from We Care this week, after sending them an email about the service at DFW:
I didn't request a response, I just wanted to recognize the great service they provide. It was nice to get this from them. I ain't all bad.

What is so great about that lounge? The cup o noodles? The bright fluorescent lights overhead? I was never that impressed with it, though it does offer free wifi and is generally quiet.
Sadly, no. We put that off until my next visit.

For the record, I agree with Jeff. At Borgata, casino and hotel honchos would get together and discuss every so often if a hotel guest just seemed to be a serial complainer and/or unpleaseable. After that meeting, a decision would be made if the person deserved a form letter signed by the Front Office Manager that essentially apologized for not meeting their expectations and inviting them to take their business elsewhere. They knew that the letter would make the person not come back, and they looked at it as marginal analysis: the loss of one crankypants guest is less expensive than having to comp away stuff that might not be deserved. Brilliant, if you ask me.

What kills me is that the OP over there is so smug and of the belief that his take on the topic is the absolute lone method of dealing with the question that upon facing disagreement and having his style exposed as mean and caustic, he decides to retreat like the French. I have no respect for the mindset. If I'm wrong, I admit it in the face of evidence that proves me wrong. I've posted "I stand corrected" more times I would care to admit. But then again, I am capable of recognizing my own mistakes...as I am not a smug and self-entitled bag of vomit.

Too bad you're an insufferable bore that feigns interest in others. :)

Yeah, but there are times when it doesn't suck to be me. :D

Running a small ISP out here in west Texas, I've done the same thing. There are some customers that, after incessant complaints, we have informed them that they are free to take their business elsewhere, but we will no longer provide them service. It becomes really fun when we're just about the only broadband game in town and they either have to do business with us or use dial-up. Besides, I'm really glad we ditched some of those pain in the a$$ customers. :D

Exactly the same thing I have done before!

Cheese / cracker plate and a full bottle of wine (which I will consume today).
