I really like to get along with everyone and I truly hate to hurt peoples feelings or really get irritated by others. Ratteler, you have really taken things to a level they weren't meant to be taken to and you're acting like a child. If you disagree, fine, do that, but saying things are stupid and taking the time to belittle opinion is pretty much showing a major lack of maturity. Get over it. You don't agree. I don't agree with you, but you do not and will not see me calling your opinion stupid. I started this thread in an attempt to help merchants keep and improve their sales and to let buyers know that they do not deserve to be treated any kind of way. Now, for some reason, people are thinking I said buyers should / have to leave feedback. I never said that. I don't feel my buyers owe me ANYTHING because they already bought my product. I, however, do owe them a thank you because they did not have to spend their hard earned money in my store. WHAT I SAID was when a buyer leaves feedback for a merchant, they do deserve a thank you because they already bought the product, but they TAKE THE TIME TO SAY WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT THAT IS, and that makes it great. When I have received feedback on my product, it makes me feel really good to know someone enjoys what I do, so I say thank you because the feedback has helped me, encouraged me, and let me know that, Hey, Jai, you did good. I thank them because that is MANNERABLE. I don't know how you were raised and that isn't my business, but I was brought up well. I was also brought up to speak my mind and I will not back down because you feel as though you have to prove something by acting like you're so bad and whatnot. Now, if you feel the need to call things stupid, then do that somewhere else. Everyone else in this thread is acting like mature adults, but then we have the one who doesn't think we play fair. Get over it. I can tell you this. If you are or ever become a merchant, I would never purchase from you because your attitude is quite smug and pretty darned sanctimonious and I do not like that in ANYONE, regardless of the person. Merchants - I stick with my original statement. Say thank you and let people know you appreciate their business because they did NOT have to spend their money in your store. And you said something about this topic hitting 50 msgs. So how many did you contribute ? Because it could have been less. Now, lets shoot for 75!! < / end sarcasm >
