So you're saying
we should just roll over and take it then? Yippie, the corporate bastards win. Yes I agree my little protest did little to hurt them, (this thread is "Little Victories", but what if hundreds of people did this? Maybe the population of Egypt should have stayed at home, after all the it's not as if they could bring down a leader...

You know full well
that my 'protest' is nothing compared to what has happened in Egypt. It was an analogy. My point is that one becomes two, becomes four and before you know it people have to sit up and take notice. The humble individual can have a voice and can make a difference.

indeed, it's a well-known fact that supermarkets have little or no interest in attracting and retaining customers - hence their near-complete lack of advertising.
( Happy Phantom has been to Hastings, Brighton, and Eastbourne too, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 17:59, closed)

You make an excellent point.
After all, those adverts are clearly aimed specifically at this one individual to coax him back from his fifteen year girlie hissy fit. Every one of them. Costing them a fortune. Silly cunts. Can't they see that the lady's not for turning?
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 18:02, closed)

they're aimed at him as much as anyone else. Honestly, if your conception of the retail model has somehow passed over the part that reads 'actually, we could really do with selling some of this stuff', you might want to go brush up a little.

No, one customer is unlikely to have much of an impact on any large organisation - but they, unlike you, seem to understand that enough instances of 'one' add up to 'more than one'. This is why massive companies like Vodafone will bend over backwards to keep your contract, even though you're more or less irrelevent to them.
( Happy Phantom has been to Hastings, Brighton, and Eastbourne too, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 18:12, closed)

Thanks for brushing me up. Quite arousing.
It's odd that you should choose vodafone as your example though given that mobile operators famously have the worst customer churn of any comparably sized industry.

I mean ... if I were a horrible cynic I'd almost be tempted to think you were trying to bluster your way into appearing to be some sort of expert on the subject in a slightly needy attempt to back away from the obvious daftness of your previous post. But that can't be right. That would be silly. Clearly you're the big fucking cheese here and I should take my whuppin like a biatch.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Sat 12 Feb 2011, 18:15, closed)

are you suggesting that only industry experts have ever heard of Vodafone? I'm fairly certain that's not the case.

I chose them as an example merely because I recently cancelled my own contract with them fairly recently.

Yes I remember when I went to renew my vodaphone
contract, which I had had for 12 months and always paid in full and they told me that they would need a deposit of £150. Not for the phone, and they didn't ask the same of Mr Entity even though he had the same contract and history as me. The reason was that I hadn't used the phone enough. It was a fair few years ago and the free minutes and texts were small. Because I had only used my free minutes they decided that I wasn't worth the bother as they weren't making any money from me.

So I went to Orange.

Yes, anecdotal evidence from someone who can't even get the company name right completely invalidates any suggestion that Vodafone attempt to retain any customers, ever.

Yes, I suppose coming in from the pub on a saturday evening, checking b3ta (and posting a whole 24 mins after you), playing a bit of l4d, checking b3ta, then going to bed is the hallmark of a very sad life. Far worse than being up in front of the keyboard, bitter and seething, at half seven on a sunday morning.

Wow, you managed to breed. That's some pretty high-end stuff right there - really, very few manage it at all. For what it's worth, so have I - is there a prize?

Odd you should suggest that those who have been unable/unwilling to reproduce are 'losers', though. That's fairly arrogant, rather self-absorbed - 'they're not like me, so they must be wrong'. Shows you up as even more of a dick than I'd previously expected.

None of your responses can be classed as amusing. You are way too quick with the personal insults.

I have read with alarm stories of the legal establishment trying to take over the internet. Just this week Twitter posts were legally classed as public domain. Do we really want the internet to be policed? Then people like you come along, intent on causing disruption and I start to think that something needs to be done. Internet freedom will only work if everybody plays nicely.
