there is a certain tone to some posts where it is obvious that these people have been around and done and said/asked the same thing before. a HUGE red flag is waved when the poster DEMANDS to have their mind changed about the device. I can't tell you how many times we have gone down that yellow brick road, and ask yourself, accidentally buying not one but three books???? that speaks volumes. these people are agenda driven and are trying to influence folks who are still in the decision making process

I asked a serious question on the Kindleforum and got some stupid answers, and was made a bit of a fool of. Well, it can happen and I'm a big girl.

I missed that, sorry it happened ;o(

But the week after that I noticed the same and another person giving bad, biased info to newbies, on the Kindleforum and even on the Introductionforum. They did it in a way I couldn't say something about it outright.

when that happens, let a mod you trust or even someone else that has thick skin know

That frustrated the hell out of me (is this good English?) and I vented and ranted about it in this thread.
absolutely!

Now I keep a close eye on these persons.

Normally I don't like to tell tales on who ever, but I thought it best to explain my vent and rant, while Cherrybomb quoted it. But too right she was to be mad.

that whole situation is more than extremely frustrating!
It is good that on this thread someone can and may vent and rant and I applaud the starter of this thread for it.
and this is why we have the vent and rant thread! to get these issues off our minds and not let feelings get hurt or misunderstandings get out of control
