Well, now that the evil Carvin thread will hopefully die it's time to redirect.

The last few days, the Carvin guys have just been little angels. I'm sure they know it's me calling...but they've been very nice nonetheless.

I called for a UPS pickup last week, UPS told me two separate times that it had been picked up when it was sitting in the guys hand at Carvin as we spoke. I have redirected my venom to UPS... and they now are clearly givng Carvin a run for their money. No call backs, no accountability, no nothing. Whereas the Carvin guys defensively just lied about me cursing and yelling, I ripped UPS a new asshole today, and they deserved it.

Maybe Carvin and I can and will smootch a bit in the near future- someone has clearly usurped them. With their new tactic of being absolute angels to me, it's hard to hold a grudge. Do you think it was 'cause I said my name was Rodney King when I called back? :)

Stop that for a start.

We live in a troubled world. Someone asked me the other day "Where is the outrage?" I grew up in the '60s, a time when the status quo was not considered a given, and, generally speaking, it was thought that individual voices could be combined to bring political and economic change.

After we bounced back and forth 171 times over the improvements Carvin might make in its customer service generally and its shipping policies specifically, we have now turned to the shipper itself.

Let me suggest that the tenacity and enthusiasm we showed in the "Carvin Shipping" thread be re-directed to issues like the unfortunate war we have been in, or the awful state of our balance of trade, or the consequences of political actions on the poor of our nation.

In other words, lets get mad, but why pick on UPS when there are so many other worthy targets, so many other issues that need our support?

This thread, and all like it suck.

Thank you for your insight... and your right- posts like yours suck.

As for more insightful posts like this, I share your desire for tenacity and enthusiasm. I spend days driving to state capitols and legislative events, I donate time and energy to my profession and my patients and generally represent the kind of attitude you are talking about. I'm the one that usually spoils the conversation with politics, and I am the one that seems to beat things to the ground because I care about them.

Sadly, the original post was supposed to be about why snerdly attitudes like that shouldn't fly, and why you shouldn't take it- regardless of personal economics. Instead, it turned into people arguing over what was being argued about.

Fortunately, however, overhang dawg put it in perspective.

More so, I don't talk about Carvin with my patients, and on a musicians chat line, musicians should be passionate about issues concerning music and musicians.

So whadaya think about that? :)
