Just cleaning up a couple of typos to make it more understandable.

We all get chances to be diplomatic and inevitably, 30 min. later we
think of the perfect thing that we should have said. Poor service, bait
and switch, blatant deception all seem to be part of modern
commercialism. Which incident is it, that's goin' to break the camel's
back? We don't have to take OhioGuy's Rashôman moment as verité, but he
is a regular poster here and I can't remember him saying anything
flagrant in the past. So I think it is worth noting his caution for
future reference.

Well the future is here.

Feedback History and Summary for Seedmart, an Ebay
store a.k.a. Hirt's Gardens
62 positives
15 neutrals
44 negatives

Many of the negatives (36%) are enraged and incensed. I've been
purchasing on line for two years and haven't had any problems, except
for self inflicted wounds or wasting time with paypal. So, that 36%
looms out at me and I would look elsewhere for a purchase.

You go, OhioGuy. Kick 'em in the . . . uh . . place where the sun don't
shine. We've taken it long enough, if they can't deal with an irate
customer (which one can become, when one feels poorly treated), they
deserve to go under. Check out the PepperMan, page 3, second rating.

Was your inference about anti-semitism conjecture, or do you know
something that I don't about OhioGuy? That's a lot of manure to dump on
a guy's doorstep. We call it defecation of character;-)

That makes more sense than believing you've been abused after instigating
a relationship with step one, threaten. 44 negative to 62 positive ratings
suggests a significant problem with the company. Still wouldn't justify
trying to threaten good service -- smart guy would've paid at tention to
the rating.

And we always do the smart thing, right?;-)


I probably should've mentioned that being a bonehead is sometimes fun and
I've certainly been one from time to time, but I just didn't want to say
it just then.

We all need refresher courses in humility from time to time:-)
