[4 weeks ago] Dear company: since december I am on the ordered, waiting for delivery list and having quite the sad face right now with these latest news, which have gone from will ship at end of january, to mid february, to end february, to mid march and now to 1st april. Whoohoo… fools-day, now THAT might finally be my lucky day .
[1 week ago] Well, the 1st has come and gone and no change, still supposed to ship the 1st of april 
… any updates?
[1 day ago] Would it be possible to get an update? Today is the 7th and still have not heard. Order still states that it will ship by the 1st of April. Anyone received a shipping confirmation or some kind of info?
[today] At this point I am beginning to believe the whole thing is a joke and a fake and that there will be no more units shipped and the company is dwindling away, because, believe it or not, today my order status updated to 30th April.
So this would put e.g. G.B. also a month further back who was already put onto the 30th schedule 4 weeks ago… which means he could MAYBE expect his to ship may 30th.
How hard is it to calculate demand and deliverance? You know you have e.g. 50 or 500 or 5,000 open requests from december…, you know exactly how many you get produced per month and delivered. Are you truly telling me you have received zero items since january and FIVE times you “thought” you are going to get shipment but, oops you did not? Yes, 5x times the date on my order status has been pushed back.
Either this means that there is zero true communication between the production unit, the warehouse, the shipping location and company, or no units have been produced in a very long time because there is no money and no resources to do so, or some dark force is eating the units in transit to the warehouse or somebody else is getting the units while waiting customers are being put again and again on a stretched out waiting list which is really bad PR – pushing an expected shipment date back once, even twice, is understandable, but this here, this kicks any willingness to understand and leaves a very foul taste in the mouth as this seems to reflect what customer relationship is worth to the company: nothing but deferred promises.
Can you guess, at this point I’m really upset.
[tomorrow] dear company, I am not sure if I’m still around for you.
The bigotry of those shouting the loudest.
It is amazing to listen – or trying to discuss – with people screaming the loudest of how horrible something is and then need the excuse of freedom of speech to attack and insult the others reality and core beliefs and push it into the dirt.
They are using this constitutional point to drive home pre-justice and their own opinionated viewpoints. There is no true willingness to understand the viewpoints of the other.
They have made up their minds, they do not want to discuss nor educate themselves nor others. Their heads are in the ground, stuck like an ostriches and they have an opinion chiseled into something as hard as a diamond – the very thing they blame the others to have.
They want to be a joker and make a point which is just their point and not necessarily has anything to do with the truth, except it’s theirs and might give some laughter in their audience, because, of course, their audience will be exactly those who want to laugh on stuff like this. Yes, this posting is talking in the widest generalities.
It is unfortunate, but I have come to the conclusion that one should rather not want to try to get into a true discussion with such opponents – because there is zero willingness of truly opening up and listening to the other side, but only the interest of their own made-up reality and wanting to drive that point home, over as many dead bodies as possible, thinking they’ve improved something, which is utterly delusional, the only thing they’ve done is dig the trenches deeper and make the walls higher next to disinform others on the subject which they are attacking.
Watch any of these “discussion” : As long as the situation is like this, things will be pulled out of context, sentences not allowed to be finished, even less a line of thought to be followed.
This has nothing to do anymore with the word discuss of which the word discussion stems :
The unfortunate of this situation is that there are areas which are in need of open discussion. There are things on either side which need reflection and change. A true discussion with full willingness could open up new paths and new areas of understanding on both sides and possible coming closer, make either side less frantic in recruiting believers – that is what both sides are! But if one side just attacks the other, the only thing which will occur is what any animal would do being cornered : fletch the teeth and defend their own side. And this prevents any possible true discussion. Which then again gives the righteous people even more reason to demonize what they do not understand.
Thinking that one can poke fun of somebody believes, to the point of tastelessly airing assault on South Park even, and to push those buttons without expecting a reaction and then feel stepped onto their own toes because that other person does react, violently even (mind you, this is no endorsement of murder threats either), well, this even goes beyond bigotry, this is plain stupidity and blindness and a further proof of how blind of the others reality the attacker is in the first place.
