Recently I was taking part in an auction, and had all the pets I was offering on hold. I could have been tradng for some of the more recent outcomes I missed, but instead they were stuck on this one auction. The thing that makes me angry though is the pure
lack of communications with the contestants. Turns out that she had been on holiday for 5 days and didn't even bother mentioning it on the thread.
Right, that's fair enough. Forgive and continue with the trade or move on, right? There was a bit of a misunderstanding that caused me some delays in trading. Nothing big. But then the auctioneer turns round and starts giving out to me and another contestant for being rude!
The nerve... And I wouldn't mind, I was being as polite as anything. I had posted once or twice asking for the results so far. It was the other contestant that was being - not even
rude, maybe a bit impatient, sure.
And then all the other people taking part in the other auctions (there were multiple ones going on on this thread) start sucking up to her and saying
"that wuz vreh rude of you to shame on yuo Xo". So drop out and attach a little rant to my post, as all people with functioning brains would. Then the auctioneer starts going on about how rude I am (with the support of the suckups who are on her side so that they don't get kicked out as well) and then she decides to *cough*
ban me.
The other contestant from earlier also gets "banned" in a following post, while whatsherface proudly states that she has added both of us to her red list. I know this is a forum for all ages, but the ignorance, immaturity and stupidity of some people is just baffling sometimes. Arguing with the people who are bidding on your auction isn't very smart, especially when the offers had become increasingly unfair as both me and the other contestant built them up over the 5 days when we had no idea who was winning.
Because I won't stoop to their
extremely low level, I'm going to stick to being Mr Nice Guy and not mention names. I hope some of the people from that thread read this though. You know who you are. >.<
