Are you really forgiving when you know something "isn't quite right?"

    ((I'm trying to ask a legit question without 'pointing to' a specific DP member in a harsh way.
    If you 'know exactly who I'm talking about', please, don't mention them by name))

    Quick Highlights related to the main question:

    • A new DP member has a very generous offer which includes 5 free domains (nice deal)
    • I'm happy and grateful to get 3 free .coms and one .net (instead of 5 domains)
    • I took the time to conceive of and 'research' the availability of 5 domain names
    • A couple were 'too long', but useful for Chicago area sites
    • Only 1 of the 5 was a 'valuable gem', a short, powerful, unique, fun , great .com name.
    • That great one is 'mysteriously' not available anymore, and the person making the offer "doesn't know why."
    • It was registered just yesterday, and now belongs to someone else. :(

    I have plenty of domains, no shortage of other original ideas, and happy to get the four free ones.

    I own the .net version of the 'great domain', and would really like the dot com.
    If the nice new member giving away domains, finds the .com is suddenly available and 'still doesn't know why, or what went wrong', I'd be really happy to own my original concept.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    To all:
    (I ended up with a pretty good deal, but) Are you really forgiving when you know something 'isn't quite right?'

    Ummmm. This is a deal where you get something for nothing? I would be completely forgiving even if the guy stuffed it all up and could not offer anything at all to you. In my opinion of course.

    Col :)

    Yep, something for nothing is usually a good deal. :)
    In this case my 'great domain' went to someone else (oh well)

    If I see that the member did not do this on purpose or made a mistake due to negligence, I can forgive him but just for once. And of course, I should not be losing a lot of money.

    I'm both forgiving and grateful for the good deal.
    At the same time it is one heck of a coincidence for a 'unique, great, new domain concept' to go from:

    1) Never (ever) being registered in any extension, all available
    2) Then the .net is still available, shortly after another human sees the concept for the first time.
    3) The .com gets taken by "someone else"...,
    ...right ;)

    "...one heck of a coincidence" :) (meaning someone "did do this on purpose")
