The Energon Pub

I find it kind of annoying you were given a $10 coupon for not getting the policies they have in place. I guess whoever read the email at BBTS is far more interested in customer happiness by going to extreme lengths of politeness then I would be.

And if it were my company and we had been aware of or became aware of an internet forum post entitled "WARNING ABOUT BBTS PILE OF LOOT" like we had done something wrong and you hadn't even bothered to contact us first, I'd surely have not given you that same $10 on this principle alone.

In the end I think it shows how far BBTS went rather then any "point" you made.

You're right, BBTS are a fantastic company. They actually bother to read messages and understand and adhere to the ethics of "full disclosure" - something which certain people here, including yourself, could clearly learn a thing or 2 about.

As for the $10 voucher, I wouldn't have been even remotely disappointed/upset/angry/<insert negative emotion here> had they not offered the voucher, as it was never even on my radar.

My main concern has been the ambiguity about when shipping charges were charged for first time users and they have responded brilliantly to it. But then that is why they are the highly successful online retailer they are.

Alright. That's enough. Knock it off, right now!

I'll "knock it off" when certain individuals here, yourself included, stop trying to pick fights with me over this when even BBTS not only also feel I have a point, but are in the process of implementing it. In fact they agreed so strongly with the point that they even threw a $10 voucher into the mix that I never asked for or even remotely expected or anticipated.

That should have been enough for people right there. Yet people insist on continuing to pick a fight, when as people like Rhinox23 who actually read the thread prove, there are some people who haven't used PoL before (like I hadn't before using that preorder) and who appreciate the heads up.

In fact this thread would have continued to serve that purpose without descending into an online flamefest were it not for you and others deciding to pick fights over it.

You seem to misunderstand. I told you to knock it off as a member of the staff, not a regular poster. You crossed a line in your last post. You could've made your point without the editorial comment.

I'm not asking, I am telling you to stop, right now.

If you feel you are being victimised then by all means, please use the "Report this post" button instead of exasperating the situation by arguing back.

You were asked to knock it off by a member of the staff and instead you chose to ignore that.

You've had your say, you got your resolution, I consider this thread done before any more fighting occurs.
