....The ham community is small, so if you criticize HRO, "friends" of employees or owners will drop out of the sky blaming you for the problem.....
Do you honestly believe this? Wow. A vast coordinated effort to defend HRO to the end....pretty good deal for them, I guess.
"The ham community is small," that part we agree. What people don't like are postings that hammer one of the very few remaining dealerships who try to provide products at reasonable pricing to our small community. Try going overseas OM, and checking out what gear costs there, if you can even find any. But, that would get you out of your little cocoon of comfort, obesity, and complaining. Can't have that.
My response to you ignoring your insults, is this:
When these companies fail to meet the expectation of their customers- they are fair game. They exist to make a profit to be sure. Though without the customer that goal cannot be met.
When someone complains they are doing the company a favor. The company can take it under advisement, make it right, or ignore it at their peril. It also serves to let other customers know what is going on with a company- and perhaps what problems they may encounter.
And yes... this community is very incestuous when it comes to business relationships. And for those hams who are not "important", well known, or have a lot of time or money to throw around- a bad review of a company can be the only recourse.
So please... take the "oh the poor company" lie somewhere else. It sounds like socialism for companies. Maybe you ought to take some tissue to your friends over there. Maybe you can drop the name of an employee over there you do business with?
Speaking personally, I'm sick to death over how you guys attack people for expressing their dissatisfaction, and do it on a forum intended for reviews.
Oh.. and yea- I'm fat. That can be fixed. You... you'll be stupid forever
