Back and forths like are annoying and make this community look pedantic. You know damn well you sometimes deal with people who simply don't respond to your niceties. It's a fact of life, and the commenter was simply pointing that out.

You don't know the situation. Why does it have to be his fault? Some people out there really are assholes and really do just want to take advantage of people.




> You know damn well you sometimes deal with people who simply don't respond to your niceties.

Commenting is not the way to handle this then. Downvote, or flag if you think it's not appropriate. Commenting, however, signifies what I said contributed to the discussion. If it didn't, then any reply would be equally worthless.
