    But, I received a message from TCR, which really upset me.

    " Whatver dude. A simple 'no thank you' would be fine. You broken english has wasted my time. I have never had this much back and forth over a fricking link sale.

    Shit or get off the pot."

    He claimed that his site PR5 I just mentioned that I could see only 4. This message was his reaction against me. Fine, I understand it, my English leaves much to be desire, but is is very rude to say me such words. I am writing to ask people for favouir, please, do not use bad words against any one at least in this respectable forum. For many of us English labguage is only language of our business, but not life, but all people deserve same kind of respect.

    There are, and always will be people who prey on the feelings of others, via e-egos. A good peice of advise would be to just suck it up, and ignore it. Afterall, there are thousands of great users here.

    It doesn't matter where you go, there is always going to be a minority of people like this. There really is no excuse for it, just don't let it get to you and if it carries on you can always give him red rep

    Pardon me. I just came upon this thread.

    @BLACKSNOW - We were having a private exchange. Why would you go and post it in a thread? In any case, did I get fed up after numerous messages back and forth over a $30 link? Perhaps I did. However, I was super patient with you man. I post all pertinent info in the offering thread. I answer questions as needed. But if you cannot understand me, then I am sorry. Here is our private message for you to re read.

    I think TCR was way out of line. However in any language getting a pm that says only
    would be inflammatory. The comments aren't a question, they're not a "thank you for your time, but I'm no longer interested". They're just comments. TCR wouldn't know what the point of the message was.

    Remember when you are doing business to be very clear in each and every communication so that the receiver understands the information you are trying to portray - be it questions, sales pitch etc.

    If you can do that then the lack of english becomes a side issue as the meaning behind the words will still be understood.

    But I did not want to say no him. I pointed him, that he claimed his site PR5, but it is PR4 in real and I wanted to know why and start asking for lower price. This is a market place.

    I think your English is better than most 14 or 15 year old Americans. I can say this because our school systems are horrible.

    Yes you did, but you didn't make it clear why.

    He was left guessing
    • were you declining the offer because you disputed the PR?
    • were you using it as an angle to get a lower price?
    • were you just making a comment and happy to proceed with deal as negotiated
    I hope you can see that while his reaction was unprofessional you could have avoided the whole thing with clearer communication.

    I have also seen many people insulting/making fun of others for poor english. I agree to Blacksnow in this. English is not our primary language, still we speak it this much. But none of you will be able to speak our language. So if you find it difficult to understand a post, why can't you ask politely to explain it? If you find it difficult to do, plz plz plz ignore it and do not insult the poster.

    Look - I think everyone is being a little over sensitive to the english remark. Is it true that there was a communication breakdown? yes. And Blacksnow - The site that I ORIGINALLY offered links on, the site the thread was referring to, is PR%5. The only reason that we were even talking about any other sites with less PR is because you got mixed up.

    LESSON 1: THE BURDEN OF COMMUNICATION RESTS WITH THE SPEAKER.

    I was clear. you were not. I am a human am I am allowed to be frustrated. I did not use an ethnic slur against you, I stated fact. Your English skills, which you should be proud of as the are very good, were poor enough to extend our talks considerably. 17 private messages for a link is unacceptable. It is not worth it after a certain period of time. So with that said - Get over it now. This is getting silly.

    SarahK, how can you say I am in the wrong? Is it my duty to make sure no one is offended? I was patient, I got fed up. This guy starts a thread about it? C'mon.

    Someone please show this guy the proper etiquettes of forums - he is now in my thread trying toscare away business with his posts.

    Aragorn - I agree with you. however, these were PRIVATE MESSAGES, and not posts on a public thread. It was a transaction that became cumbersome. I am not going around making fun of peoples english.

    Blacksnow - stay out of my thread and quit telling people my site is PR4. It says PR5 on my tool bar, and everyone else can make their own decisions. I will soon leave you a negative feedback. Please stop.

    TCR wasn't totally wrong he stated a fact, the broken English had wasted his time. I can see him getting angry with the OP, he didn't dis anyones religion, culture, or education.

    Infact what I said was not about you. Since I saw a similar thread, I thought about posting my view. I think I can understand your feeling :)

    Look, please, feel free to do everything what you want. I spent on you two hours as well. But I did not pay you back with the same coin. What I have been asking from you just to say sorry, That is all. Just say sorry FRIEND I was not right with my words. I am intellectual person, but you took my time and I was really upset eith it and I will answer your SORRY MY FRIEND too. Is it easy for you? I do not want to spoil your business, but, indead, all my checkprogramms show that your site has PR4.

    Bro - my pagerank display says pr 5 and so does EVERYONE ELSES. But that is not the point, is it? You want an apology from me. After our exchange went south, I said this to you:

    End of story! I wished you well! I said good luck! I did not take your time up at all man. I stand by what I was selling. Please just end this and go on with your day. I am not going to apologize any more than I have, nor am I going to call you friend. I wish you good luck in all of your ventures. Now off and have a nice day.
