I dont easily get offended but John, your last comment really did... Sometimes people say things that make me ashamed of being a man and make me understand why some women are bitter and have little faith in men...
Here's a quote of what you just posted that irritates the fuck out of me : " many start with the bullshit of 120-140
I mean hey we can tell quality and few even sdesereve the 100 never mind the 140 "
Who the hell are you to judge that 120-140 is bullshit and that they DESERVE ... DESERVE .... DESERVE 100 ...
It doesn't appear to me that JSB was implying disrespect. He was responding to a question asked and he offered his opinion. His language might have been a little dramatic but that very often happens here - in fact it happened in YOUR putdown of JSB.
As for "Who the hell are you to judge...", well he is the (theoretical) CLIENT of a (theoretical) SUPPLIER. In business, a supplier quotes a price and a client decides whether the service or product merits the price. If so, a transaction occurs. If not, the client either bites the bullet and pays the price, leaves and looks elsewhere, or goes without the service or product. But the client ALWAYS has to decide whether the price is acceptable.
In the case under current discussion you argue that the supplier has a very difficult and possibly unpleasant job. Well, perhaps that is true...but so do MANY people in MANY occupations...and it is not the CLIENT'S problem. If your grocer seems to be charging an inflated price, do you think it would be disrespectful to comment on it if a fellow shopper asked your opinion...or would you be "offended" and "ashamed of being a man" because grocers have a difficult job (fruits and vegetables that spoil before they can be sold, milk and meat recalls, shoplifters, union problems, competition....). I don't think so.
And the comment about VLTs was not only irrelevant but also hitting below the belt. You might refuse (understandably!) to pay ten dollars for a liter of milk but you might easily spend $50,000 on a new car - there is no connection.
