If I offended you in any way I do apologize. As with you I had no intention of getting personal. I was simply trying to respond to some of the negative things being written.
BS on the apology. You had every intention of making this personal. You've taken this whole issue to the level it is now. You posted the information about the owner's supposed illness & pleaded for some help in patronizing the business. Fine. Bully for you, the wonderful friend that you are.
You had a bad experience with Homefront. I had a good one. I'm quite certain there are dozens that will claim the same on both sides. I don't defend poor business practices that end up putting the customer last. I'm not convinced Homefront was on a mission to do this. I am convinced they made mistakes and will be held accountable for them.
I felt that I had a duty to also let the BUYER BEWARE so I simply posted MY experience. I have never cast aspersions on the owner of this business. I didn't say "oh, don't go in there & buy from those crackpots". I didn't say "danger! they're crooks and liars". Each consumer can make their own decision.
I posted the outcome of my experience with this business. I stated that they have attempted to right the problem I had. I have not misstated my situation at all.
There are some folks that don't know where condemnation ends and forgiveness for the sake of healing begins. For me these things go beyond marking them as simple business transactions. In many instances I have made friends in a business transaction even if I didn't get everything I expected. This is when furniture just becomes furniture and nothing more. I certainly don't expect you or anyone else to see things this way but in reality, when I'm 80 I don't want to say "I wish I had handled this differently". I mean what will you have to say at that point?
"I fought for that furniture."
or
"I fought for that person that was suffering".
I know... all touchy-feely... But no regrets.
There are some folks who don't know when to quit. I left this thread back after Homefront told me me they were delivering my furniture. YOU are the one who came back & attacked every person who posted their negative experience about this company. You decided to post the derogatory comments & accuse people of ulterior motives when your ego was wounded. In each and every reply you've made to me, you've attempted to demean me & impugn my integrity by implying my experience was out of the ordinary - when there are others posting here with similar experiences.
And your last paragraph is completely out of line - you're on some kind of self-aggrandized high horse doling out guilt-trip judgments as if you're the go-to man on moral authority.
Well, here's something your friends can thank you for - thanks to your incessant attacks & personal slamming of each poster who tried to honestly give their experience with that proprietor & their business: I won't ever patronize them in the future. I won't step foot in that business if it were the last furniture store in Southern Md. and in the future, if I found out one or the other of them owned another business - I probably wouldn't patronize that business either.
You sound like a family member with a very large axe to grind or the owner himself. There's just no reason for you to have taken this to the level you did without some kind of personal attachment. You can claim to be a loyal friend and some kind of pious being for your compassion - but that is just a load of bull.
