I hate when you have a wtb post about something and someone pm's you saying they will sell you one. then when you pm them back 2-3 times they never get back to you and you see them online everyday.

I pretty much never "make an offer" unless I am buying several items from one person, like say 6 heaters for $20 each...would you take $100 for all of them? I think haggling is embarassing. When I place an item for sale I always post it for what I think is less than market value, and I expect people to pay full price for it unless they are buying several other items.

Christy, I can say "Jewed" because I have Jew in me. I am immune. :D

Myka, please don't continue to use that term. As far as I'm concerned it is a racial slur (even though its not "racial" it has that connotation and I don't know what else to call it, for me its equivalent to "the N word"). I don't care what religion you are, what color you are etc. Please refrain from continuing to use it.

Thanks.

Is that a formal complaint? without a formal complaint we usually assume everything is ok. Would you like me to remove it?

In my defence, anyone can be a bitch but not everyone is Jewish

I think standard societal rules apply as far as race, religion, color or creed. Bitches are on their own. Let's not use religious slurs here, ok?

Nothing formal, not even a complaint, It's your avatar keep it if you like. It was an observation. The word/term "bitches" refers to a negative as in "my bitch" or "my bitches" IE pimp and prostitute. I suppose if I had a family member as a street worker it would cut a little deeper. If the girl with the wand was saying "not today bitch" it would refer to a singular person not a group.. is it a stretch? maybe. The "J" word is an old school term, "bitches" is more modern obviously but no better, even if it is a liitle girl with a wand is saying it, the same way Myka's heritage doesn't give her free reign to what she said. Anyways just answering your questions and explaining my comment. Don't really want to get into a battle of words...
