It was your choice to wait until then to message me. You could have at least said we'd talk later about it. When I can't follow through with a conversation, I show people enough respect and courtesy to not leave them with a feeling that I don't care about what concerns them. I happen to value that part of polite society, which unfortunately is falling by the wayside more and more, evidenced by the disregard people here have been expressing for the common courtesy thst I've described.

but you weren't having a face to face conversation. i've had broken conversations via email before, but i've always waited at least 12 to 24 hours before worrying about it, and usually my short wait pays off and i hear back. lots of people go to work, go to sleep, have to pick up their kid at school in an emergency, take time off their computer to gig or eat dinner with relatives and so on. not every person is a great communicator, but that doesn't mean they're a problem, so i try to be patient.

Is it really so unreasonable to expect even the smallest courtesy, like "can't talk now, but we'll iron it out later"? It takes like 2 seconds to perform an act that can hold inmeasursble value.
I don't know who you are, but the way you have handled this thread is awesome. I heartily LOL'ed at this post.
This thread pretty much blows that theory out of the water!
Yes, it is unreasonable. I just realized the other thread you started not so long ago. Your expectation of electronic communication needs to be adjusted.

I'm still trying to figure out what the problem with the item was. Was it malfunctioning or broken? Or did they buyer just not like it or know how to use it correctly?
So rather than get back to you in a timely manner, you would rather him have waited till this evening (now) and give you the whole story?
that would fit with your criteria.
Your "Feelings" are not under someone else's control or influence. Your feelings are your CHOICE.
Oh and by the way "polite society" that you refer to is a matter of perspective.
This was "polite society" too. Invalid Link Removed
Yes, you are being unreasonable. Now you have this big, ugly shart of a thread on your permanent record.
This thread does not serve any purpose whatsoever at this point. Please let this be the very last post, for the good of everyone.
Peace.
Peace.
@4string4ever you can clear all this up since you resolved the issue.... message a MOD and ask them to delete the thread, before this just gets to be a bigger mess.
you got what you wanted right?
If there was something wrong with that particular pedal, that's fine, but if you're basically using the Classifieds to try out pedals and expecting a return if you don't like them, then that makes selling here far less than appealing for sellers. If the seller broke the pedal or didn't disclose that a knob was missing, that's something they should have done. But to expect the seller to leave a full review, I think that's a bit much.
I've been playing since the 70's, I'm not a newbie. The pedal caused severe hiss that could only be alleviated by turning my mids and highs all the way down. Thst rendered the pedal quite unusable.
