Beefspari Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 [quote name='trimm' timestamp='1330021529' post='2926826'] Quite a track record of poor choices you guys are assembling. Maybe you should write a book, "How to make enemies and infuriate people without really trying." [/quote] The only people who disapprove of MK supporting tech dealers actually honoring tech deals are the ones who hated MK in the first place. We aren't breaking any ground or learning anything new. This is just this week's installment of the people on the two different sides coming up with wild and crazy new ways to justify their own side's stance.

memoryproblems Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 [quote name='Biff Webster' timestamp='1330021586' post='2926830'] Do you feel the ghosting to test UE's policy in general was dumb, or just that you ghosted Grämlins and they noticed? I somehow doubt the same apology would've been offered to TPF (or 64Digits, but they no longer exist.) [/quote] TPF needs no apology, the nation which was ghosting us was promptly attacked and put into anarchy. We had intended to continue pounding him, however he left the AA this morning with his tail between his legs, and as we have other things to worry about, we figured that would suffice.

I don't quite see how we'd need to pay reps for an action that was harmless in nature, but if punitive action is the route Gremlins would like to take I'm pretty sure HellAngel knows which direction to yell in.

RustyNail Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) I don't think anyone disagrees with the expectation of tech dealers actually following through with a tech deal once they have accepted the monies offered. The only problem I see is when one party tries to undermine the policies of another party by deceptive practices. All of that has been acknowledged and apologies have been made and so forth and so on. Contracts are binding, it's true, but contracts entered into under fraudulent terms are hardly binding or legal and, are subject to dismissal. That being said, if you agree to sell me tech under terms we both agree to and don't.... This all boils down to a really simple solution. Respect others and treat them the way you would expect, or even demand to be treated and there won't be any issues. If you aren't willing to do that, there is a lovely little button that Admin blessed us with called 'Declare War' that can help you express how you feel. I take no sides in this as I see both angles and don't necessarily agree with all the philosophies involved. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG???
