Is there another way?
I am seeing an increase in the number of negative posts between representitives fighting back and forth about who/what is better. Even worse is this is not limited to competitors, but to reps in the SAME company. It is not a matter of who is better, because the point is NO ONE CARES. No one wants to read this crap and if you have nothing better to do, that is my problem and I do not want to see your stupidity on here, nor does anyone else. We're all humans and most of those involved in this obnoxious crap are working fo rcapitalists out to to make a buck with little regard for their employees, I work for a wireless service provider myself. Besides that, we all deal with the same sort of customers and maybe we should try acting like huma...

you are right, I agree 100% with you on this subject, it is getting a little out of hand as the days go by.

Kind of reminds me of the scene in Billy Madison where he is in the tub arguing with himself. "Shampoo is better" "No conditioner is better."

hahha. i like that movie.

8th.. so you lie then? you told me that you wont be talking to me tonight. "begone" was your word of choice.
sad.

nextel18 said:Your post on Sprint and Nextel's coverage improving drastically right after the merger was erroneous. So I decided to talk with you again. Satisfied?

i never said that coverage will improve RIGHT after the merger will happen. it will obviously take time.

What we would like is for this back and forth to be communicated privately through direct email instead of via these posts.
Most can be satisfied if the posts are kept to fact, technical opinions or useful resources. This does not include personal attacks, guessing at the future or sharing your opinion just to be different than someone else.

yea, i guess so. i try to post factual information then others do personal attacks to me then i attack back.
i just dont understand why i post information and then they attack me. i dont get it. maybe you can help me understand it.

No it actually was a weak stab at humor. You guys are annoying each other but you are being civil, which is the "other way" spoken of by Liam20. As long as it is civil, disagreement is why we go to these forums, like it or not.

The other forums seem to be reasonably peaceful in comparison to this one. It seems that posts about phone and service issues get ignored while the flame wars go on. I don't know who to blame, maybe all of us. The trollers don't help.

hey verizon wireless guy, muchdrama and that other person attack me so then i attack back. i have tried ignoring them, but it didnt work. i think i will have to blame those 2 and also myself for going to their immature level. you are right, however, this board is only about personal attacks not about phone issues, competition etc...
i guess its a bad thing.
maybe, you can lead the way by being the moderator and keeping this board civil.

Don't put that on me. I don't have enough respect from the others to extend that much influence. I have had to change my ways in the past because I too got caught up in the flaming.
One thing to consider is that all of the wireless carriers offer a product that they deliver with a degree of skill. One carrier will not meet all needs so we have this wonderful thing called competition. Every carrier does something better than another one does. It doesn't make the other ones inferior overall. If someone makes fun of or disparages something you believe in it feels like a personal attack and makes you want to react accordingly. Remember that when you post.

maybe we can ask Rich to help us.

Think about your motive. Do you want to show the Verizon people a thing or two or are you wanting to add to conversations? If your motive is the former then they will see it for what it is and feel the same way you do when they attack you.
You often bring good information and I believe I have complimented you on that. Sometimes the only problem is where the information is posted. Pro Nextel/Sprint stuff posted here is not particularly productive, like it would be in their forums.

yea, i agree with sometimes i by accident post it on the wrong board. thats true, and i take 100 percent ownership for that. but i think it should be important to see what verizon is doing vs the rest of the providers and vice versa with nextel/sprint etc...
but, i do agree with you. i will take that in account the next time. thank you.

i dont remember too be honest.
look all i am saying is that we can have a lot of fun discussions as long as you dont do those things that you have been doing.
if you are civil then i will be civil too. and you have no right to say that i dont know anything, when i know a lot of things especially more than you. i appreciate some of your comments, but not all of them.
again, keep it civil then i will too.

I'm keeping it civil. Do you see me yelling, screaming, or swearing? Nope. Civility is my middle name.

of course you were violating TOS rules. you defamed my character, you slandered my name and you insulted me. if you read the tos rules those are all violations.
now, keep your word and stop talking to me.
