What are you basing this on?!?!? Word from lemon? Talk is cheap, and you have no way to tell if he is lying or not.

Dude dont be so naive. Dont always believe what you read, or what people tell you.

In English, that phrase means to die. To use it in the context above would appear to be a translation error. You are saying, "Good job!" <You> would be sad if he died. And then you offered him a beer, apparently after his death

I teach ESL to persons from Asia (Vietnam, China, Laos, Burma, Cambodia) at the collegiate level. You sound like you're translating. Idiomatic expressions are very problematic when translating.

You also have no basis for your belief that he is doing a good job. Your hype is even less supported than his hype.

@ Jerrry -- Yeah, it has occurred to me as well.

Peace,
dave

There is the live chat system that he could have contacted us on for an immediate (or if we were offline) faster response.

Guilty until proven innocent in pessimistic eyes.
I have had many private messages of people saying "good on you" and "don't worry what others say, just keep your head up." These are the optimistic, supportive people.

One final time:

Believe what you want, you'll soon see BeamCheap is a good company.

I refuse to pointlessly defend myself any further.

Thanks to all those of whom are supportive

It originally said died where I highlighted left

So Lemon's edit left Cooler "out of context"?

That could explain the awkward use of the idiomatic expression.

If that is the case, then I am sorry, Cooler.

I went with what was in front of me.

If Lemon is editing posts, without notice, then he is even more suspect.

Cooler still has no basis to support him yet.

Peace,
dave

Tyler used to do stuff like promise people (mostly NooB's) that he would give them better deals or "hook them up" with the best product if they would publicly support him. Of course we all saw how he treated people who did not publicly support him.

This is not just for you Cooler.

Why do people assume everybody is supposed to be nice to them?

Was that written into the constitution in a clause I missed?

Peace,
dave

lasersbee · 02-11-2010, 01:30 AM

Yeah... here it is....

Amendment #127 Thou Shalt Be Nice...

Tech_Junkie · 02-11-2010, 01:31 AM

Well that explains why we Merkins can expect "niceness", but what about the rest of the world?

Of course you already know from the graphic I posted that Canada is just a northern county of California, right? (Just above "Coffee.")

Peace,
dave

lasersbee · 02-11-2010, 01:36 AM

Nah...Nah... Nahh...
Like I already posted.... California is a new province of Canada......

Well... never mind I have nothing to say..

If things go on like this, California will break away from North America and hang out with New Zealand, cuz they're awesome!

IceNoise · 02-11-2010, 01:39 AM

Wow, I was pretty stoked at first about beamcheap. It looked like it had promise. But maybe not so much.

If it is true that Susie asked lemonwonder not to sell to LPF, yet there are several posts here making us aware of the site. It seems rather bad form to go against the wishes of your 'sister company'.

Its such a shame to fall so close to the start line....
