As a rule, anything any company does is defended by "their business, their rules."
Yet a certain dealer switches a price during a sale and there's a 9 page thread of butthurt. Intradesting.

You've just figured out that this place is filled with a bunch of hypocrites?
- Bag on urban youth for watching reality shows like American Idol while gabbing in 10+ page threads about reality shows like Gold Rush Alaska and Top Shot. - Insist that anyone buying a new car is a financial idiot while the same folks lambast anyone trying to save money by purchasing a car with less than eight cylinders. ... This place is not filled with special little snowflakes, or mothers whose babies didn't do nuffin. It's worse than Mos Eisley spaceport. |

This is an odd thread. Couple of related points:
I support a business' right to conduct their business in any way they want. I am 100% behind that. I support a potential customer's right to advertise poor dealings with any business. I am 100% behind that. Please explain, OP, where you find a dichotomy. |

Freedom of speach, their business their rules, our voices our words. True. Yet any thread where someone has a problem its the OPs fault. Hell I had a thread a while back where best buy failed to honor their warranty on one of their products, hell it was either my fault for selecting a defective product or my fault for shopping at best buy. |

I wish the OP would provide any sort of link as to what he's talking about. I think it's the optics thread with PSA: Aimpoint PRO |

OP, do you own your own business?
If not then you don't understand. Suppliers change prices and margins at will- so distributors have to adjust for these changes in order to remain profitable, otherwise, they will go out of business. Maybe you haven't noticed but the Oconomy is tanking. |

I just want the vendor to send me the pistol as advertised, not a hacked-up POS.... After having seen and held that gun, I think you're being kind. Pics of the gun or a link would help me gin up some supportive outrage. Didn't mean to hijack your thread, OP....

If you don't like that they changed the price, then don't buy. If you don't like the our business our rules approach from arfcom, no one is forcing you to participate |

Yep, and I'm free as a consumer to voice my opinion on it and vote with my wallet. As well as spread the word. |

Did you miss where deej and I cited examples of threads we made advertising our poor dealings and were ripped new ones? Yet in the PSA thread everyone was ripping PSA a new one? I agree that its a customers right to voice their displeasure with a business. 9 times out of 10 whenever someone does that here its the customers fault, yet in the PSA thread the consensus is that its PSAs fault. |

You didn't answer the question someone else posed, and it's critical. Try again: Were they the same people? You need to read up on two logical fallacies, The Tu Quoque Fallacy and The Strawman Fallacy. |

More examples of glaring fuckbaggery.
It's always the consumer's fault, unless it's a gun related deal. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1323429_Girlfriend_s_car_towed__options_.html&page=1 What pisses me off about this has very little to do with this site or its members. My real problem is that society as a whole has zero standards. I'm the son of a business owner. My father taught me the importance of taking care of your customer. If he did some of the shit that people here give a pass on we would have lived in a fucking cardboard box. Now you can do whatever and nobody gives a fuck. That to me is pretty sad. |
