These two things really annoy me.
There are two things that I’m really, really… really tired of.
The first, is campers who don’t get their way and therefore throw a tantrum like a two year old child. Okay, so maybe it doesn’t go quite like that, but people get mad and write ridiculous letters to us and to our headquarters. If people want to make legitimate complaints, that’s totally fine and I can understand. But when they’re ridiculous and they lie in them, that really pisses me off. They make up a completely different story, just to make us look like the bad guys and to make them look like the helpless victim.
It’s like that guy who posted a review about us on this RV Park Reviews website. He gave us a one and made us look bad. But he wouldn’t accept any of our help. We asked him if he wanted to change sites, and he said no. We asked him if he would like all of his money back, so he could find somewhere more suitable to stay, and he said no. There’s not much more that we can do if you don’t want to cooperate whatsoever.
Whatever. People are lame.
The second thing that I’m really tired of is people stealing from Shattered Tranquility. Like, blatantly copy and pasting stuff from us and not giving us any credit. I’ve been finding it all over the place recently. What bothers me most, is when I know someone has taken something from us, but then they change a few words to make it look like they did it themselves.
Come on, that’s just really pathetic. Changing a few things like September to Sept, and 6:00 to 6PM does not mean that you wrote it yourself. Maybe it’s just because people are uneducated and don’t understand what theft and plagarism are. Or maybe they’re just lazy. Maybe they just want all the credit for themselves. I think S-T has been really good at giving credit to people when it’s due. When someone sends in a contact form, we credit them. If we find it on an LJ community, we credit them. So I don’t see why people can’t pay us the same respect.
Yes, the site is a lot of fun and I enjoy working on it. I don’t regret starting it and I don’t plan to give it up any time soon, but at the same time all the people who keep taking shit from us make me want to give up completely.
Oh and P.S. when you post something right after we post it, and it was something that was out weeks ago, we know you took it from us. I know you’re an asshole, so you’re not going to credit us, but I wish you would… or at least stop posting stuff from our site. Your Japanese isn’t that good nor is your English. So you’re not really doing anyone a favour.
That’s all.
