Gaaaaaaaak.......*___*......
Nov. 23rd, 2002 07:43 pmHrm.....it's pritty cold today. No snow yet, though. I want to see some snow!
Minako emailed me last night about an order I placed with her. It turns out that she already has the red Zoukei-mura glass eyes! :D Lucky! I have no idea when the light orange ones Kristen ordered will be in, so this is good good news. My first pair of Volks glass eyes! I'm going to save them for Christmas.....^o^! I like the way they look with brown hair. Fuuka's going to have a nice Christmas!
I'm plugging along with Japanese. Kristen's being a big help n_n.....my head's feeling pretty full right now because of all the kanji and vocab I've been stuffing in it lately, but when Kristen played through Super Adventure Rockman again last night I understood a lot more! (I think I was having trouble last time because the volume on the TV was turned down too low, though). I deleted my bookmark to the TOD2 board so I don't give in to temptation and spoil it for myself. Learn learn learn study study study remember remember remember.....
There's been some pretty disturbing business going on at DOA lately. Once again, someone is dissatisfied with Minako's service and has inspired another damn idiot session. -_-;;.....Yeah, I said it. I think they're idiots! I don't know why they can't leave Minako alone. She's not a robot, for God's sake! They have no idea how things work with Japanese companies. A lot of the time payment up front isn't required, but you are expected, on your honor, to buy the item when it comes into stock! I hope these people realize that if they demand a refund, when their doll finally comes in Minako's going to have to buy the doll herself to keep in good standing with Volks and continue her service. These people show a lack of common sense. They aren't even considering Minako's position in this matter. And they have the nerve to call her a liar?!
I feel awful......I wish there was something I could do to let Minako know she has my support. I swear to God I'd put myself out to buy a doll she got stuck with, even if I didn't want it that much, because she doesn't deserve what people are doing to her. They're just jumping to the worst conclusions! And now they're slandering her on a club board that she belongs to. I don't care, if they want to make a secret society where they do that to people they can go ahead. I miss the old days, when I was just a member of Biscuit's Club, and people actually had integrity. I'm tired of hearing about people's "right" to complain about inferior service. They have a responsibility as human beings to think rationally and try to see more than their side of the story.

Date: 2002-11-23 07:54 pm (UTC)No, my friendship with Minako is not getting in the way of my judgement, because I have gotten things from her before and never had a problem. Why would that change now, simply because someone was too impatient to keep their word? You're right; there is no reason her character is in question other than the fact that a someone is not-too-subtly implying that Minako is "stealing" money by not immediately issuing a refund. All other evidence points to this not being the case, though, which is why our friendships (and business relationships) are so important.
Argh. I feel like rampaging. Not that it would help, other than to blow off steam. Where do people get off doing something like this? I wish I could get or make something special for Minako, as a thank you and to prove to her that most people are not stuck up, selfish brats. Arrggggh.

Didn't mean to blow my topper like that. I was just so appalled--my "love and kindess shock" has never failed me before! I'm never going to make it as a negotiator.....

Date: 2002-11-23 09:53 pm (UTC)You've said all that I wanted to say, but probably with less cursing than I would have inserted. =*^^*=; Try not to let it get to you. At least she's gone now (I hope), but that last message she left was rather offensive. I mean, offensive compared to everything else she's posted today. Why hasn't a moderator removed that "good night" message? I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that she goes away and doesn't return under a different Yahoo!ID or something. =>_<=;;

Really, though...did she just read the first line in each post or what? Is it just me, or did she *want* to think that Minako was stealing her money? You'd think she'd be relieved that we said that wasn't the case.
And technically, everything she said was libel, anyway. So no regrets about her leaving...

Date: 2002-11-23 10:30 pm (UTC)Anyway....ummm...the last time I did something like this was when I was the admin of a mailing list, and I kicked some guy off for sending huge wav. files of his voice to the list and acting like they were some big gift, and he also sexually harassed every female member of the list. And when I booted him off, he was like, you can't do this to me, you know I'm a great guy, look at those sound files of my voice I sent you! Now that I look back on it, it was really funny.
Actually, even when it was happening, it was funny.
