Joe Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Point taken about the packaging - it wasn't his fault, it was the handling. As to the freebies - whether I am greatful for them or not is my personal choice. I just find it annoying because I feel bad chucking plants that I don't have the room for. It was a bit of a struggle just to squeeze that L. arcuata in. Basically, I just want to recieve what I ordered. And I feel bad for the guy that sent them because he's losing money giving stuff to someone who chucked it out. I wish he had asked me whether I wanted them or not, instead of just sending them on the off chance that I might want them. He could have made money out of those selling them to someone who was wanting to buy those particular plants. Anyway enough about this. I shouldn't have posted it in the first place and I didn't know people were going to get upset about it. I apologise for what I have said and if it has offended anyone. I should probably spend less time on the forums and maybe stuff like this wouldn't happen if I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 au contraire monsieur... this is the What's Up thread, you can post what's up and we will rattle on about it as usual :smln: don't feel bad for the person who gave them to you, they did it for their own reason and it might not have been just to make you happy - could have been politely offloading stuff there was no room for, trying to butter you up for another sale, or maybe just misjudged you. in other news I have one more week at work and then 3 weeks off work on holiday :happy1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 One problem is the information that is being shared sometimes is total lies and fabrication that can cause the people it is aimed at a lot of grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Where's your proof? :lol: But seriously, I believe it should be to the recipient to use his or her judgement to decide whether or not such information is correct.
