Q Talk

[Spurt]

This is afterall a Shopping Channel Forum so there are going to be opinions about product, programs, personalities.....that comes with the territory....

But one tried and true rule on forums is to direct comments about the TOPIC rather than the PERSON writing the post.....  Too many times snark is aimed at the author of the post, and the person is scolded or lectured.....Customers should be  allowed to vent their issues/feelings about QVC....isnt that why the Forums are furnished by QVC....I dont quite understand why people have a hard time understanding exactly what would be written about on a Shopping Channel Forum....

Differences become conflict when emotions get involved. Dr. William Ury, co-founder of Harvard's Program on Negotiation, is one of the world's leading experts on negotiation and mediation. He is currently a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Harvard Negotiation Project. 

It's fine to have differences. Once the line has been crossed and conflict happens -- then someone's emotions have taken a negative turn. Why does this happen? Only the aggressor knows for sure. Thankful we can draw boundaries and refuse to bicker. Bad reactions perpetuate conflict.

Personally, I'm tired of the complaints about absolutely everything.

And I'm really sick of seeing the complaints about the shipping.  If I was having that many problems, I'd quit ordering.

Hi SuzyQ3 - 

Since I'm a kid I've been snarky - I'm old now and snarkier than ever!

@Shanus. There is a way of expressing an opinion without being snarky

@Lipstick Diva. Or you could stop commenting on the complaints or stop reading them

I had never had any problems with shipping until it happened to me. 

I try my best to walk a line here on the boards, even when I have a different opinion, I try to make a generalized statement instead of attacking the OP.

I posted a complaint a few weeks ago in regards to shipping in the customer care section, and was surprised at some of the sanctimonious responses that I received. One poster even responded that it was my fault since I must have seen all the complaints about shipping. I am paraphrasing.

Once again it had not happened to me, so I took the complaints with a grain of salt. 

I detest snarky (rude) comments, its just not necessary.
