IGE.COM: PLACING AN ORDER Plus I Get A Ton Of Hate Messages (2/4)
WTF??!!
I can’t think of a more appropriate acronym to describe my initial reaction to the 17 (and counting) approved comments that have flooded my IGE.com post.
17 comments, a number of them spaced minutes apart. Some of them inane.
Not to mention the 22 hate messages posted as comments which I disapproved. Majority of them originating from the same IP address!
Just a few examples, kiddies:
"Extreme Gold Fan, you are a sadistic son of a bitch. You have no right to review anything because you are childish, vengeful and mean. Did your mother forget to breastfeed you?"
"You were horrible to poor Cary. Customer service people like him don’t deserve to be treated that way. You think you’re funny??!! F*** OFF, A$$HOLE!"
"u r an aSShole within an aSShole. who the hell do u think u are? ever heard of karma? you’ll never get your gold cos u r evil!"
Then someone posing as Cary P. (well, could actually be him but I’m not really so sure) sent me this:
"Hi, Extreme Gold Fan. Remember me? We chatted yesterday on IGE. Yes, this is the Cary P. you insulted and the same Cary P. who patiently answered your questions because he was trained to treat all customers with respect, even the ones who come into chat just for kicks. Someone alerted me to a site that reviews MMORPG service companies and where I was shocked to see images of my chat with one Rev. Lovejoy. I’m disappointed that someone has abused my trust and kindness by posting screenshots for the whole world to see. Even the insults towards my girlfriend are there for all your readers to snicker at. If your objective is to tear apart the company I work for, go ahead. But leave the innocent ones like my girlfriend out of the picture. Maybe you should order from us before you do that, so that you can make an honest assessment of our services and delivery guarantee. I hope you sleep well at night, Extreme Gold Fan. How could you write stuff like that?"
Well, well, well….
I see the IGE community has been busy.
How could I write stuff like that? How could I? Well, lemme tell you this, Cary P: I write stuff like that BECAUSE I can write anything I want BECAUSE IT’S MY BLOG. This is not the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics where everything was censored. This is not the New York Times Book Review where scathing remarks come in the guise of tactful dismissal. This is Extreme Gold Fan’s blog and I will damn write anything I want with no BS and no sugarcoating!
So you got unlucky because you happened to pick my chat (ah, the lottery of life!). So I picked on you and insulted you and wasted your time. But I was testing your company’s customer support too, and you know what? I gave you five stars! Be thankful I’m more than satisfied with the way you tolerated my little stunt on chat, ’cause otherwise I can get really nasty with my reviews.
"Maybe you should order from us before you do that, so that you can make an honest assessment of our services and delivery guarantee." You’re damn right I should order from you people. In fact, I just have and here’s the evidence!

There! Happy? Now the proverbial ball is in your company’s court, Cary P. Show me what you’ve got - worry free delivery and all.
You’ve got 24 hours to impress me.

I agree. It’s your blog and you can damn well write anything you want in it. Keep up the good work!
