Consumer Strikes Back at Crooked Online Retailer

BigBadLad writes "Seems like customers are at a huge disadvantage when dealing with dishonest retailers. This is the story of a man who had a horrible experience with an online camera retailer. In short he was lied to, yelled at, and threatened to be sued if he posted the experience on his blog. He was also persuaded to sign an agreement that would allow the retailer to charge him an extra $100 if he left bad feedback."

    I'm pretty certain that your letter didn't have a greater affect because it was so goddamn boring. Do you really need to go into an exposition about your whole life story in order to make a point?

    Put up a blog if that's what you're into - keep it out of professional correspondence. I started skimming the first five words of every paragraph just to see whether you would eventually talk about something interesting.
