@Etoile308, I understand completely. You know, because I’m not a jerk.

I so agree that it is just unnecessary to say anything that might hurt another person.  You can say “not my style” etc.

without attacking another person’s taste.  It does get personal.

@Etoile308   I've wondered the same thing when I read some responses on these boards over many years. I agree with your view as that is the way my parents raised us.

@Etoile308   I totally agree.  It is painfully obvious by reading comments here that some folks do it intentionally to get attention.   Pathetic!!!

Shoes, shoes, shoes! I love shoes! I used to go shoe shopping once a month. 😱 I think we all have something we love to buy. I've only bought 3 new pairs of shoes in the last couple of years! That's a record low number for me. I don't watch the Q to buy shoes. I need to try on a shoe first.

@wilma, I agree about trying on shoes before you buy.  I have had poor luck in buying shoes without a tryon.  And when it is QVC, it is an expensive deal, with shipping both ways.

Perhaps it's just me, I would think the classy thing to say is simply that they are not your style. I think many comment display an insensitivity towards others who may be interested in these items. What a boring world if we all had the same taste.


Very well said @Etoile308 and I believe that most would agree with you.
