Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!
Swamp2 – I would say the responses you have received are a reaction to your implied ignorance of how group buys on preproduction products are handled. Apparently you would prefer the product not be advertised until the day it is available. That’s fine, just stay away from group buy threads.
You say that your post was an intelligently stated opinion. I think this is where many take issue with your opinion. Your opinion did not come off as intelligent to many here who have participated in many group buys or early production releases. I agree you did not insult anyone but in my intelligent opinion you did come off as naive. You are of course entitled to your thoughts but remember the old adage – Better to be thought a fool then open one’s mouth and confirm it. I don’t mean that as an insult, just a point to ponder. Don’t go away, just consider your thoughts before you post, I certainly do. I thought long about this one before I posted. I assume (I hate that) that you were just thinking out loud when you hit the enter key;-}
If anyone here was offended by your post they are really thin skinned and won’t last long. No need to apologize to anyone.
When I choose to join this group buy it will be at the last possible moment. I’m holding out for the 10000. I guess that means I’ll be in the back of the line to receive anything I order. Only 4 months seems pretty quick to me, I bet mine will take longer.
