It's ridiculous to jump to conclusions based off a blog post that doesn't even post a copy (redacted if necessary) of the allegedly offending communication.
- kintamanimatt 14y agoPayPal is evil. They're not evil because of what they charge, they're evil because they treat their customers with utter disregard and contempt. It appears there's an internal lottery that all their customers play without their knowledge. If your numbers come up, the fuckup fairy will come visit your account and you will have little to no recourse.
- jayfuerstenberg 14y agoAgreed. If you have a website dedicated to chronicling just how badly you suck ( http://www.paypalsucks.com http://www.paypalsucks.com ) it probably means you're doing something very wrong.
- auctiontheory 14y agoOr it means you are a large company, or are in some way interesting. Google returns many hits for "Apple sucks," and "Amazon sucks," and "Linux sucks." Seriously, if you don't have pages devoted to how you suck, it means you haven't done anything noteworthy
- kintamanimatt 14y agoThere's a difference between doing something noteworthy and having some irate customers, and doing something noteworthy and almost routinely actively fucking over your customers. One's inevitable, the other's just unnecessary.
- fnordfnordfnord 14y agoYou're right that we shouldn't condemn [company, person] because somebody made a blog post after [company, person] did something that upset them. But, you've taken on a big job sticking up for PayPal. It doesn't take a Google-fu master to find copious examples of PP behaving inexcusably.
