"The Track at Centennial"

[~Barn~]

He can't even write back with a brief, "Thank you for your time, but it is something I do not wish to pursue."


What kind of amateur "business man" is this dude?

[Bueller]

Dude, no one posted this up as a bitch. The thread was resurrected, and the current state of affairs was laid out. We gave up on this a while back, and at no point did anyone send him a negative communication. Everyone is aware he can do what he wills with his track and it is not a huge loss to us. We offered an additional source of business and through his lack of response we took it as a no. Case closed. And this would have ended at post 14 except for you jumping in defending his actions. I don't know the guy and expect anything special from him, it was a proposal for a mutually beneficial relationship. And we don't "need" him, we have gotten along all this time without, so it is not like we are losing a track.

The kind of amateur that invested over a million in the track.

Maybe he needs to spend less time at his job and more time on the internet.

Guys, we can go back and forth all day like this. I remember sending him an email once too. No answer. Oh well. Then, each time I go out there if he's not in the middle of something he's very easy to get along with.

"Dude". Haha.

Spending money (or having it to spend for that matter), is hardly indicative of having any great knowledge of people skills. So fine… we concede the fact that he’s made his own investments into the track, and he’s entitled to do whatever he pleases. Fair enough.

But to not have the general respect… No-no-no… the FUNDAMENTAL courtesy, to offer a quick response to those customers who have made his venture a success, hints of something either very negligent on his part, or very naïve; one of the two. Nobody here knows of course, since nobody other than him, can speak to his motives.

Regardless though, it doesn’t take an etiquette expert to see that his continued “non-replies”, are seriously damaging to his reputation as somebody who is supposed to be taken seriously.

So defend him all you’d like Pilot. And continue to cleverly remark about his investments, the way he conducts his business, and even the off-handed notions about spending more time on the internet. But understand that coming from somebody who once asked for themselves to be put on self-ban, because you caught some flack about how in-love you once were with your car, only adds to the comical nature of how your friend conducts himself.

That should be, "an etiquette"...

[~Barn~]

This is true.

Fixed.

[Bueller]

Someone is veeeery bored

[~Barn~]

Yeah, but at least we found something for Dean to do!

But seriously though Pilot. (What is your real name, by the way...?), I don't mean to be a dick about it, and be all toe-to-toe smartalec, but come on... Let's be realistic and practical for a moment.

As somebody who I give credit to, for being at least reasonably bright, don't you figure it might be somewhat prudent to stop defending him so fervently, and take a step back and say... "Hey... maybe they're right. Maybe he probably could/should have taken a minute or 10 out of his day, and responded back to these people who are trying to correspond with him, cordially enough."

I mean this is personality 101 Pilot. (What is your real name, by the way...?)

See how easy it is to "change the subject". The self-ban didn't have much to do with the car. But, if you want to drag up the past, I'm sure we can have some fun with that. I'd prefer not to go there. Besides, I move quickly from the net to face to face discussions about certain issues. I find it better to look someone in the eye.

Trust me, I know this.

And I didn't mean to change the subject so much as I meant to take your little "spend more time on the internet" quip, and flip it back on you. Granted, I don't know your friend from Adam, but from what people are saying of him and how he communicates (in a professional arena), I still think he sounds like somebody acting sophomoric at best. I don't take that back. [calling him an amateur].

[pilot]

Yes, it would be nice if he responded to the previous email. As I said, he didn't respond to mine either and I asked him about that. I think he mumbled something about problems with his email. Who knows about that. All I can say is that he is available for personal discussions at his place. Been there, done that.

Dave ... you are a beacon

That's a new one!

[Bueller]

That's a new one!

You just have to keep stirring don'tcha?

It could happen
