Nothing wrong? You mean other than respond to a "I need to return this item, it doesn't fit" with paranoid, aggressive ramblings, accusations, and innuendo? You really don't see anything wrong with that?

Nothing a lawyer would get upset about. There aren't any laws that say a person can't be a jerk if he wants to.

Calling someone "eBay's Most Paranoid Vendor" on a public forum could definately come under libel or slander laws though.

No question the seller could use some public relations training.

Well, the hat is marked XL, which according to Scala should fit up to a 7 5/8. And by my internal measure it shouldn't fit either of those.

Opinion is protected under libel and slander laws. It is my opinion that this person is the most paranoid seller (that I have dealt with) on eBay. By your reasoning it would be libel or slander to use hyperbolic terms in recounting an unpleasant business transaction with other potential consumers at a business.

We're also not talking about the law, we're talking about simple courtesy and professionalism. You wouldn't blink twice if this happened in a brick and mortar store?

STEP ONE: TURN IT off.

Things are much nicer this way and look less aggressive.

MISTA MAYBE YOU MEASURED WRONG .

THE MEASUREMENTS ARE CONFIRMED , I CANT TELL THE FORUM THE ANSWER DUE TO PRIVACY RIGHTS , BUT I CAN TELL THEM MY MEASUREMENTS ARE CORRECT .

MY XL MEASURES , JUST OVER 23 1/2 INCHES . I HAVE THE CHART FROM THE CATALOG AS WELL . AND EVERYTHIGN IS EXACTLY PERFECT AS FAR AS ALL HAT MEASUREMENTS GO .
SORRY MISTA , BUT YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE WHOLE STORY TO THE FORUM , AND I ONLY WISH I COULD TELL THEM , BUT ONCE AGAIN , PRIVACY RIGHTS I DO RESPECT .

IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THE HAT WAS RUINED . I CANT TELL THE FORUM DUE TO PRIVACY RIGHTS .
BUT I WILL TELL THEM THIS MUCH , MY TRASH CAN NOW OWNS A HAT !

That all cap stuff is making my eyes bleed.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUCH NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY .

IM HEAR ON THE FORUM TO GIVE AN HONEST OPINION AND TALK NICELY , BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SO FAR THE RESPONDERS ARE JUST BEING NEGATIVE TO ME .

WHEN THE TRUTH IS , I HAVE DONE NOTHING TOP ANYONE TO DESERVE THIS TREATMENT .

IM HERE TO HELP PEOPLE WITH HATS , BUT SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT I HAVE TO ALLOW THEM TO TREAT ME BAD IN ORDER FOR ME TO HAVE A SALE .

I DONT GET IT .

COULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME , SO I UNDERSTAND

I think the suggestion is being made that it would make everyone feel a little more relaxed if you turn the cap lock button off on your keyboard. All capitol letters convey a feeling of LOUDNESS. :)

Your act of posting the seller's private message to you pretty much voids the "opinion" defense.

It wouldn't go anywhere anyway.

How, when it is used as evidence to support that opinion?

If I say that it is my assertion that X person is profane, and then play an audio recording of X person swearing profusely, how does that negate an opinion that x person is profane?

:arated:

I'm being dead serious and very polite when I say that posts in all caps hurt my eyes. I find it very hard to read through your posts FURFELTMAN. It'd be much easier to read if you just turned the caps off and left everything lowercase if you don't like hitting shift to capitalize the first letter in a sentence or proper names. ;)

I WASNT STATING THAT YOU CAN NOT MAKE AN OPINION BASED THRED , oops , ok capos lock off now .
i was stating that im not allowed to mention anything about the sale on the forum, i was respectling your rights thats all .
but i am here for a few minutes . and i would like to talk with the forum as much as i can .
could you also let them know that the prices were great , the shipping and the responses were fast as possible . that help people understand what good qualities i do have , i will be the 1st to agree im not perfect , but i actually do try much harder than i am getting credit for .
and i hope people will see i do really want happy custtomers with great hats to show for thier experince and great shopping fun .

Opinions don't have proof. If you provide "evidence" to support your "opinion" then you are stating a fact and not an opinion.

I know it sounds like splitting hairs but that's the way it is.
