Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts
Hey everyone,
I’m new on the site and had come here after my father recently passed away to learn more about and downsize some of his vintage stereo equipment. So I posted the first item a couple days ago (way under the suggested price might I add) just trying to see if this might be a good forum for me to do this and within 24 hours, an idiot decides it’s necessary to write “Scam-o-llama” in the question box. This of course was then seen by about 30 other people before I had the chance to reply to it. My question is, why would someone here feel the need to do this. I’m not even sure what I did to deserve that kind of response. Hopefully someone can look at my listing and let me know what the hell I did to illicit that response. I get that I’m not super familiar but come on man!
This almost seems to be an Ode to late 1970s Steve Martin (Movie - The Jerk) and a lyric line to The Grandmother Song off the album "Let's Get Small". The line is:
"Criticize Things You Don't Know About"
Sorry for your loss as well. I'm sure you are going through enough dealing with closure and an estate to have such "insighs" come your way at this time. |
Contrary to popular belief. Things don't get better with age. Back in the proverbial day, communication required intimacy. Whether it was calling someone on the phone, writing a letter or speaking to them face to face, all required that the participants exposed themselves to each other. Talking schite to someone's face would get your ass kicked. These days, anonymity has empowered the ignorant and cowardly. Now they are able to sit alone in their parent's basement and shovel their crap without the threat of consequences. "Social media" is an oxymoron. |
