The RESPECT issue... viable on online forums?

[Snake Eyes]

Cal, take the reactions you have perceived as seriously as they were meant. Which is not very. You've been on here long enough to realize that, even more now than in the past, the majority of posts are knee-jerk, off-the-cuff posts with no thought behind them. From the way posts have been progressing (regressing) I tend to doubt half of the posters are even aware of the topic they are posting in. Just a series of quips, jokes etc.

 

Insightful point.

 

Yes.

 

huh? What were we talking about? Was it Wharrgarbl...I am pretty sure it was Wharrgarbl

Hello all.

 

Here is the scenario:

 

The main company CGC is a Vendor for slabs, but different slabs. The Newer slabs slowly put the older, conventional slabs obsolete, and they are going away. Most of the Customers that join CGC have a smal business of their own, and are dependent on CGC to continue their respective businesses. There is only ONE competitor, PGX, and they just don't cut it; they try, are cheaper, but the quality and consumer confidence is sorely lacking.

 

CGC has a chat board, similar to PGX. Customer CAL joins, and does okay. However, over time he gets harrassed, cursed, flamed, trolled. All CGC does is delete the offensive posts. The boards have had a history of arguments, some petty, some serious, but for the most part all gets smoothed out over time. But Customer CAL is unique; similar to a Peacock trying to camouflage himself in short brush. Customer CAL has shown loyalty to CGC, and was helpful during CGC's early years, defending CGC when another VENUE, not company per se, was allowing similar actions.

 

Should the company CGC be held more accountable for allowing the trolls to use profane abuse at the paying Customer???

 

I can't wait to see the respnses and types of responses I get when I get home tonight from work.

The internet gives a voice to the intelligent, the demented, the paranoid, the delusional, the humorous, the creative and the idiotic. You can't demand that you only get one without any of the others.

My daughter did that once when she was about 3 or 4. It was pretty scary at first, and then it became hilarious.

But Customer 111 is unique;

Here's the problem with your premise. Every customer is unique.

clearly you need to take over this company.

 

go get 'em Cal!!!

[Flaming_Telepath]

Cal, you like to think of yourself as a business man, an entrepreneur, a canny go-getter. As such, let me ask you this...

 

You run a store, a very successful store, and 95% of people who come through the doors are happy with how you operate.

 

However, there's that 5% who aren't.

 

As a canny business man, do you think it's a sensible strategy to change the fundamentals of the store in the hope that you appease the 5%, but potentially lose a large chunk of the 95%?

Too long and will not read a bunch of ramblings. Skipped to the last two lines. Should a company be held accountable for allowing trolls to abuse a paying customer? no, but this is a free open forum where no one is a paying customer to use the forums so this is a poor example if you are trying to compare the CGC forums to your company AAA.

 

 

Maybe if you spoke like a sane adult instead of a madman in the 3rd person people would take you seriously and try to have an adult conversation with you.

 

It all starts with you.

Maybe if you stop buying eveyone's cast off PLODs, your street cred will rise.

 

 

I am curious what exactly is he doing with these books. Are you hinting that he is doing something not on the up and up with them?

Unfortunately, too many people posting on message boards do so only because they like to "hear" the sound of their own voice. Too many people trying to be clever, who frankly are the furthest thing from clever. After a while it becomes so much white noise
