+1 for you Vaporizer wish all LPF members thought like you.
Inevitably, things like this will happen. People do make mistakes, and sometimes without knowing too. It's unreasonable to immediately blame the seller if the part breaks, especially if the process in which the parts where handled and assembled were questionable.
Plexus, you are nothing but a lowlife asshat.
First of all, the public forum is not the place for your pathetic attempt to extort free stuff from either flamingpyro or Jayrob. If you have an issue, you PM the seller first. Only when the seller refuses to respond do you take the matter to the open forum.
Secondly, there was a damn good reason why they didn't offer you anything. You were responsible for the death of both the driver and the diode. I, and along with any other person who has their head screwed on right, do not see why the seller should refund/compensate you for your failure to look after the parts.
Not only that, you refused to accept the fact that you were the cause of the parts' failure, not the sellers. You refused to listen to anyone on the forum, most notably the ESD issue.
It is blindingly obvious that it couldn't have been bad handling by Flamingpyro. A diode that has been affected by ESD would have in no way lasted a full hour, especially at the currents you drove it at.
Did you consider at all the effect of de-soldering and re-soldering the driver and diode assembly, including attaching that stupid LASORB? Did you possibly consider that the heat involved in the constant soldering could have you an effect? Oh, wait, you're always right and everyone else is always wrong. You're perfect. So it
couldn't have been you.
Did you ever consider the effect of ESD while the diode was in the module? A LASORB won't save your diode's ass from ESD. Just because it's connected to a driver and a LASORB doesn't mean it's magically immune from ESD. It doesn't take a lot to zap a diode, and it's more than possible that your diode was fried before it even made it into the host.
If the diode indeed was killed by FlamingPyro, there would be no way it could have lasted for one whole hour. ESD damage does not suddenly manifest many hours later. I'm sure that if it was his fault, and if the diode did die in minutes, or instantly, FlamingPyro would have replaced it immediately, and it would be extremely damaging to his LPF reputation if he did not do so.
I'm also sure that Jayrob warned you about the driver issue with his SS kit. It was up to you, as the buyer, to take heed of the warning. He warned you, and you didn't listen. So it's not Jayrob's fault, it's yours.
On top of that, you say you only want 'customer service', not free stuff. So why did you ask for compesnation for your time in the earlier threads, then delete the requests after everything started to heat up? And what else would your so-called 'customer service' result in other than compensation for your own mistakes?
There's no point in lying. You did the wrong thing, but you decided that somehow it wasn't your problem, and you decided to drag Jayrob and Flamingpyro through the mud for
your own mistakes. You knew well that doing that would result in some form of compensation from either seller in an attempt to get you to shut up and to protect their reputation.
Worst of all, you lied about it all. In your second thread, you specifically asked for some form of refund from the sellers. When it was clear it wasn't going to happen, you simply went through and deleted all your posts to cover your tracks.
And you also -repped rpaloalto for pointing out the obvious. He didn't misquote you, he never quoted you to begin with. He was only pointing out the truth. And I suppose you, much like wannaburn, don't like the truth out in the open forum, especially when it's potentially damaging to your cause. So you try to cover over it in any way you can.
Nor do you address any of the issues raised by any other members. You just let their posts fly straight over your head, without even attempting to address their concerns. Yet you expect everyone else to listen to you. The irony, it kills.
Paying back Jayrob $13 doesn't make you any better of a person. You're essentially paying off half of something you should never have taken. And that makes you a good person again, how?
Don't think that we can't see what you're doing. Unfortunately, most people here aren't dumb enough to fall for your tricks.
Lowlife scum with no sense of morality like yourself is not welcome here. Perhaps when you realise that you aren't always right, and when you can act ethically, you'll be welcome back here.
Jayrob, you did the wrong thing in falling to his extortion attempt.
He clearly did the wrong thing, and he admitted it in multiple threads (which he has since deleted). It was his fault, not yours.
Nor it was your responsibility to compensate him for his own mistakes. Although you may feel bad about not talking to him enough, it makes no difference. He was at fault, and the fact that he lied, and tried to blame you, makes it no less acceptable. Most other sellers would have just ignored him, and perhaps even dragged him out into the open for a round of name and shame.
By giving him another driver, you're surrendering to him and in effect reinforcing his sense that he is right, when he isn't.
I can understand the desire to shut him up and protect your own reputation, but it wasn't necessary. Everyone's already seen what he's doing. FlamingPyro did the right thing and simply ignored him.
Sooner or later he'd have gotten banned, and the threads removed. By giving in you're simply encouraging him.
What that does is simply open the door to more people dragging others through the mud for their personal gain. It'll be the new scammer game, and it's best not to encourage this sort of wrong and unacceptable behavior.
TL;DR: Plexus is a pretentious, immoral asshat and Jayrob shouldn't have given in to his demands.
