.. as am I. I was not involved in this affair in any way. I just feel - strongly - that your accusation against the way this was handled was a crummy thing to do - whatever your take on what was going on.
Anyhow. I won't comment further. I've got nothing against you - the point has been made and I don't want to flog it to death. Let's move on...
:biglaugh:I think we have all missed the glaring problem here..
Wat the hell were you doing with a GIRLS watch?
also, beau claims many times how great her relationship is with RWI and RG mods and how they "got her back". So it is very easy to see how shieldsy would think (and I agree) that she is getting preferential treatment.
Well, hang on a minute. If you take it as a given that based on *Beau's* claims, that RWI and RG staff all "got her back", then are you also taking it as a given that Shieldsy is a "d**chebag" and other names that I would like to not mention?
Seriously guys, this drama has taken up way more bandwidth than it's worth. The facts of the case are nothing in comparison to the amount of backlash it's caused, or the amount of work it's created for the staff.
Shieldsy, I think that everyone honestly and truly sees your point, and that nothing short of discovering that Beau has planned to assassinate a world leader or plot a terrorist attack is likely to make her look any less ladylike at this point.
If what you want is for RWI staff to acknowledge that they may have personal friendships with members, then you are probably right. I do, although not with Beau. But I can assure you that no matter who is friends with whom, the outcome of this case was going to be the same. You could offer to come to my house and personally massage my feet, and I'd still make the same decisions at the end of the day (although I'd say "thank you" for the foot massage).
Beau continues to goad me with her insults and even wrote DB after my name on the package (douchebag) a name which she has called me several times on the public thread and in private. ... She even wrote rattle rattle on the paper she package it with?
Shieldsy
I agree with houndoggie but only because he gives me preferential treatment.
No matter what the original problem was, to call another forum member a douchebag'/f*ckbag is ridiculous and totally unnecessary and childish. Writing insulting comments on the package also shows a lack of respect, especially as it seems that she didn't know how to function the watch even after being told how to do so.
Glad the issue is now resolved Shieldsy and everyone can move on.
Bigmouth...I'm friends with a couple of mods here... and I totally RELY on preferential treatment. I mean, they extend their deep dealer discounts to me, and I get to hang out with them in the executive lounge. The free Margaritas are a bit watered down, but who am I to complain?
A friend without perks is no friend at all!
As previously stated (by me, actually): Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
he was respectful to her until she went crazy on him. Her first post on the original thread basically lies about her status at Repgeek and threatens Shieldsy with sfa. It goes down hill from there.
So basically the facts are this:
Shieldsy has sold a watch that clearly shows the day centered correctly in his sales thread.
Beau receives the watch and posts how much she loves it, but has problems getting the day centered. RWI community respond on how to set it and she says its fine now, working saying "..it worked..got it all set now". The, I guess she can't get it set again after that... PMs are sent back and forth, Shieldsy offers the correct solution of refunding the seller upon receipt of the watch in a non tampered condition (tamper means to intentionally damage). Beau takes this wrong and goes nuclear by initiating paypal dispute, threatening chargeback etc. Threads are started and shieldsy is civil until beau enters the threads attacking. It gets messy thereafter.
Finally, beau sends the watch back, shieldsy refunds.... and the watch is working just fine.
