Mike always a pleasure
An experience I had with a seller.
A seller of pre-owned audio gear on another site who is advertising some original Audio Alchemy products, indicated in the description "these were from the guys at Schitt". Here is the story. I emailed him indicating, in a very friendly manner, that the Schitt guys were not part of the AA company, then, nor are now. Just friendly fyi info I thought I would share with the seller and was actually surprised by his misinformation. He was quite nasty to me with his response, letting me know he was right. I had respected this seller for years of his success with his sales numbers, with 100% positive feedback. I am bothered by his response, and his lack of information. Why is this bothering me? MrD.

Seems he asked a simple question - "Why is this bothering me?" Most of us absorb what might be seen as abusive language as a personal affront and respond emotionally to that. If the initial encounter was seen (by the OP) as an altruistic comment to help guide someone to the truth, a nasty response might feel even more hurtful. I once tried to guide a load of fish to a large vat, using what I thought were helpful hand gestures to the crane operator, only to have him spew a rather nasty string of obscenity-laden insults at me. It was so over the top that although I was a bit hurt by the words, I started laughing. I remember watching him later hose down the deck of his boat, turn off the water - look at it all and say "F*ck the situation". We (up on the dock) started laughing and he got mad all over again. I learned there's just no talking to some people. ;) |
