The whole " it's the holidays " thing is crap! If you post something for sale answer your damn messags!

Yes this tick's me off as well.

If the item has been sold or pending to someone who PM'ed first have the curtesy to reply saying so.

I also hate when someone you don't know PM's you with a question, you reply promptly with an answer & they don't have the common curtesy to reply with so much as a thank you.

I agree...with most you stated. And Not defending anyone in question, but as for holidays... Family before Canreef. At least to most people.

I'm sure some people have nothing better to do than sit here staring at the screen but sayin something like that is absurd. No offense meant. Holidays do mean something to a lot of people. I guess the bloopers on the individuals part is posting before the holidays.

Im sure most people glitch once in a while.


Really it just comes down to courtesy. That's it.

Seems lacking all around in here these days.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I realized I have insulted people- that wasn't my intention...I worked till 6 this morning driving drunks around edmonton in a limo and am a bit tired. I apologize for any offense.
Just to clarify,
I realize that people are busy and I realize that they aren't going to answer my pms in a timely manner at all times.
what gets me going is the people that dont' have the time to answer my pms even they have time to reply to other people, sell stuff and update the thread..
if it is sold, let me know that I wont' bother you...
I just find it rude and frustrating to not get any reply at all at the same time other people are receiving pms.
I will take the foot out of my mouth and shut up.

Happy New Year.
Neal

oh btw, I agree totally that common courtesy ain't so common anymore.

I think you 100% correct Neil, people that have listed something for sale should use common sence & reply to every PM regardless. They should also use the first PM takes pending rule but so many don't.

And to those people who are a no show, you should be ashamed of yourself & should realize your word means nothing.

+1.

I cut 6 frags for some people. Guess what? Three left. And I cut them by request.

That is crap.

Neal, I don't think you offended anyone. More, you opened a conversation many of us have probably wanted too.

After my last experience I decided no more fragging until person is in my home.

The absolute most irritating thing is having someone not show up. You made time out of your day to wait around for this person, and they don't even have the decency to call and say they've changed their minds.

I haven't encountered this on canreef yet but on Kijiji, wow. Too many times than I care to share.

And to the OP, I can relate. I got shunned from the same ad as you

I do get out but this damn iPhone... Lol.

Yes, society. That would be a thread of it's own! Haha.

I live in Edmonton. I see more shiot than flowers most days.

Not defending this cause it has happened to me so many times, it is actually funny. Just laugh it off now...as nothing surprises me on here any more.
But just for the record I never log out of Canreef.
