Random Rants

[Megatron1505]

That's those Belgians, always trying to redress the balance

Ahhh…..beer. Or "pre-whiskey" as I think of it.

A minor rant or quibble if you will…

A relatively new member of the forum recently PM'd me to ask some advice on sizing for an article of clothing they were considering buying.  No problem.  I'm genuinely happy to help someone with this type of issue, hopefully with as much cheer as other forum members have shown towards me when the roles have been reversed.  I duly responded with a detailed description of the sizing, my impressions of the fit, my own measurements for reference and a couple of other points I thought might be useful.  And then... nothing.  No further communication received.

Now, don't misunderstand me.  I'm not looking for endless praise or thanks for this minor act.  I do, however, think that brief acknowledgment when someone provides assistance is good form and tends to promote a positive and friendly atmosphere around the place.

[seawolf]

I concur.

[Giles]

That's just fucking disrespectful & rude…...Good job I don't know who it is, because if I got an order I'd refund it and not ship.....

[jock1624]

I agree Qhan .

I'm sorry Qin. I should know better =-(

Story of my life regarding anything Samurai related…

[Giles]

I don't care how rude Samurai customers are, I do care about Iron Heart (sad but true)…..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You'd be surprised. There is an overlap regarding those customers and brands

[Giles]

I'm not surprised - I have a few pairs of Sammies myself…..

I think you may have missed the little bit of cheeky-ness in Giles' reply

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^^
I know that G.
I was just telling Qin that he's not alone and there are other "victims" along with him who suffer from the same situation.

@Snowy: yeah, possibly lost in translation and due to lack of internet-emotion

[Giles]

My problem is that I hate using emoticons (I am trying to discipline myself to do so  :o).  It's like if you have to tell someone you just made a joke, what the fucks the point…....?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I tend to overdo the use of emoticons…

All that said, have you ever revealed your collection you accumulated over the years? I am, for one, very interested to see that. Just like I'd like to see Kiya's collection one day.

[Giles]

I've actually started shifting some of mine.  I love buying jeans to study construction techniques etc, but once I've done that, there seems little point in having them accumulate dust.  I'd rather have someone give them the love they deserve, because if it aint IH or TW, it won't get worn by me…...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That sounds like a good opportunity to make a monthly auction again?!

[Giles]

Good plan…...

[pillowPANTS]

Great idea! Buy all future pants in sz 38 G

[Chris]

Since Giles and I wear the same size jeans, I approve of this idea.  Very much. :);):P :o ??? ::) :-\

Is that too many emoticons?
