whew. Fair enough, and just in time. I've got to leave for work. It's good to come to terms.

LOL! OK. thats cool.

Now stop with the insults and discuss this rationaly and we be fine. Thats sort of the point now after all. Your creativity does impress me. I was amused by your rewrites and all of my posts. Funny stuff.

Your credibility somewhat restored by the revelation that you like to create some amusing stories to go with the facts (as you see them). But I do want to make a point to you that this is just not always a very good way to publicly address a serious charge against a company. If its a serious charge then more of your stuff is likely to be TAKEN seriously. Not as you might have liked. Thats the error you made in my opinion. Mixing humor with what is a serious accusation. Does not mix well at all. I hope you get where I am coming on with that?

See ya later. We finish this as the rest of the story unfolds. This has been fun.

And welcome to AO by the way.

I usually take any complaint about customer service as the truth. As I've had a number of different problems with companies who on average have "excellent" customer service. As you all also know &*& happens.

Personally I saw his post as a way to convey his annoyance with poorly written/checked emails and sloppy/non-existant repair work. He simply wanted to make the entire ordeal into an interesting read. I also do not find it beyond reason that he expects corporate correspondence to be checked and in a professional format.

Either way both threads were surprisingly amusing.

I think that is indeed his intent but because it was a serious charge it lead some to some unexpected links he never intended to be made. Again... not always good to mix those two.

It is indeed an amusing thread.

And so the two went off into the sunset as new friends.

Its all good. He seems like an amusing addition to our little disfunctional family. I kinda like him. Even though he likes to insult he kinda reminds me of myself. Only he is smarter!

It would surely make me think twice about believing them.... i.e. Taking his word for it. Thats all he asks us to do. Just believe him. So what is the validity of his complaint? Do you know how valid it is? Pray tell how did you determine that? What criteria did YOU use to determine that? I got as little as you do to go on. This is true New member... new complaint. Just trying to sift through it and decide with what little there is. And thats all I got to go on is how he conducts himself. And I am not very comfortable at all with what I see as his conduct. Wish I had more but I don't. So Mr smarty pants what criteria do you use? Are you assuming that it's valid or not? You don't say.... You just seem to want to make some point but don't really end up doing so. I never said if it was valid or not, I was just stating the fact that even if he was a "racist" as you claimed, it would not have made any difference as to the validity of the complaint. I am not trying to justify racists or say who is right or wrong, I'm just pointing out that it would not have had anything to do with Air America's customer service. For instance, if Adolf Hitler had said "The French suck at fighting wars!", it would have been a statement made by a very racist and notably evil man, but that does not make it untrue

With that said, I'm not trying to cause any trouble, so let's bury the hatchet, shall we? (and yes, I know, posting this in the first place could be seen by some as trying to dig up the aforementioned proverbial hatchet, but it is simply a late reply)

Shykicker, your post on paintball forum obviously irritated Cphilip or else he wouldent be arguing with you.

Im sure my black and hispanic friends would take offense to your post. Did I tell you what he did to some kid the last time he heard the N word?

Hell I took a little offense to your vocabulary.

Sorry not everybody thinks the way you do... Hard to beleive isnt it?

You obviously give people the feeling that you perceive yourself as "holier than thou" otherwise I wouldent be commenting.

Heres my advice learn to chill out a bit... You might have a hard time beleiving it but you can't be right ALL the time

Thats the bottom line...

I think people need to laugh at themselves a bit more. I don't know, I'm not black so I don't know how I would reach to the N word, I don't get it, black people call white people crackers, black people call eachother the N word, does this make sense at all? Chappelle says the N word on his show all the time and people just laugh. I'm really confused

Mr Kycker:

1. i do not "work" for AA, but i do tech for them at events and around my hometown area. in my post i did not say that problems didnt happen or that AA was right and you weren't. just so you know, that i am being entirely fair to either side.

2. ok, lets me get all this straight:

"Proof, ey? You want the UPS Box labels? Lessee, I ordered it in February 2003, recieved it, finally, in may 2003 (thanks in part to a lengthy delay in backorders, and also in part to Deb ignoring one of my Emails), sent it back early March 2003, got it back around mid-March, and didn't play for a while. Spent most of the summer either working, on vacation, or fine-tuning my art portfilio, and sent it back in early June (I didn't really have the money to play at the time anyway, between work, school, and having spent a week in Florida.) And then commenced EMails with 'Bob' in mid-december, and had to wait for 'bob' who was, understandably, unreachable at Christmas, but neglected to check his EMails uppon his return. So Mid-January, Bob's UPS guy picks up the tank, and I don't think I heard from it again until Late January/Early February (Edit: Correction: 02-05-04, according to the postmark). Filled the tank up, obviously, some time between then and Feb 11. and my Airsmith charged me $10.00 to REALLY fix it. "

you first received your tank in may 2003, then sent the tank back in march 2003? do you have a time machine?

got it back mid-march, thats 10-14 days.

spent the summer doing something else, but sent it back in june? isnt june in the summer?

you didnt get it back till january of the next year? did you forget about it? or is this when you had problems communicating with AA?

so your tank sat around some length of time BEFORE you filled it? is it possible that your fill nipple strut o-ring may have dried out somewhat between fillings since you waited long periods to fill it? i have seen tanks do that when just sitting around for long periods of time without being used/filled.

so truth be told, you dont know that the system was working properly or the fill nipple was not leaking right after it came back from AA?

the reason i asked the questions about what you told AA when you sent it in, is because you may or may not belive the way somethings are sent in or the way OTHER owners describe their issuses. you keep using those HUGE words (verbose) that it makes my head ache...lol. but you are not necessarily communicating well when you go over everyones heads with vocabulary.

I can personally guarantee you that AA did not "pretend" that your tank was fixed. i know every worker there and they would not do that, to anyone. it just isnt there modis operandi!

My final thought: incompetance does not deserve racial epithats (sp?) and degrading.

So, any questions i have posed are NOT an attack on you or your intelligence, just questions, that come to mind from experience. If you get this worked up over a $250 hpa tank, then you would proabably have a massive corronary if it was a $25,000 vehicle from the one of the big three manufacturers. TRUST ME I KNOW!!!!!!!

Can't say I give Kicker much credibility or respect. His tone is rather borderline, and his attitude is definitely stuck up.

For someone that seems to promote the virtues of being a native American, he certainly converses like a Brit.

But the whole controversy about Niggardly?
