"Clete"

What a glorious day, I saved the cash from my slush fund and bought
both my kids iPods for Christmas, even got them engraved with their
names. Now I need to save some more cash to buy them some iTunes
Cards.

I also came to the realization that I spend way too much time on this
site.

I have therefore decided to move on for good.

If any of the HATERS or SCABS takes the opportunity to antagonize me
via this post, I shall return with a vengeance. The ball is in your
court!

In conclusion:

Sioux Fan I wish you the best in your studies, I think you will make
a great pharmacy technician, just be yourself and don't let anyone
tell you what is and what isn't right. Follow you own heart.

Erik I claim Victory, pack up my army and head home to the victory
parade.

Motorcycle Lady I know you secretly like me, it okay!!

Flea Keep up the good fight!

To the rest of you SCABS, take a deep breath, this is only a webpage,
take it down tomorrow and the sun will continue to shine and the birds
will continue to sing. Is it really worth all the grief?

Feel free to contact all the "regulars" who ran off with their tail
between their legs and invite them back.

To Quote a Leader: Mission Complete!

KING CLETUS

I claim VICTORY over Angry Erik!

I have outwitted, outlasted, and outed Erik; He has been voted off the
island!!!

CLETUS is KING

As funny as it seems, I originally used this site to send a letter to
Continental Airlines, I still have their e-mail response with a ticket
number, but nothing more. Then I made my big mistake... I sent a
letter to Target inquiring about the Salvation Army... Game On!

I applaud the administrators for their support of my post and I thank
them for the outstanding site they maintain. I only wish everyone took
such a balanced view of my writings instead of reading them through
venomous filters.

I think it is a fair assessment that my letters made a difference and
I made A LOT of valuable inputs to the letters of others, but a
certain group of "haters" provoked me at just about every turn. Take
the time to read and you will see that most of my writings are in
response to a vicious attack or un-called for name calling. I surely
didn't start the rants, but I had no problem joining the festivities.
Funny thing, someone starts a thread, then gets mad when I don't roll
over and accept their comments. Not Gonna Happen!

I have one more letter to write, a NASCAR letter to Bass Pro, and then
I have better things to do. Actually my job is taking me away for a
few months and I will have limited access to the net, but don't
despair my friends, I will be back to ring in the New Year.

Can't wait til' February, the start of the new NASCAR season, I am
already working on my protest letter to whatever company sponsors
Michael Waltrip!!

It begins with a simple letter to Target asking a question about the
Salvation Army, a letter which generated 122 responses, mostly
negative. Had I known what I know now, I would have just written a
letter and dropped it in the mail.

This site provides a good service and an easy way to contact
companies, but it has probably migrated into a statistic gathering
device instead of the "voice it was intended to be.

I admit I got wrapped up in the game as well; I couldn't wait to
"hammer" a letter writer or comment on a post. My level of
one-upmanship grew to an embarrassing level.

I started writing letters with good content, but crafted them in such
a way that they were sure to cause controversy, and it worked for a
while. Not only was it fun, but it was a bit therapeutic.

Suddenly, I am banished and no one wants to post to my letters, this
only gives me cause to post to other letters, and I post some doozies.
Think of it as, when a door is closed, a window is usually opened or
water always flows to the area of least resistance.

I have been referred to as a slack jaw, a yokel, a bumpkin, an idiot,
an a-hole, etc.... Most of this was directed at the name I created,
but a lot was probably personal attacks. I am amazed at the level of
hatred generated by simple letters.

I have one suggestion. When a OP is creating a letter, he/she should
be queried about their interaction with the manager. I can't start to
count the number of responses that begin with "did you speak to a
manager?"

I find that I am spending way to much time on this site; I am not
leaving, but I am no longer going to fill this site with my writings,
it just isn't worth it any longer.

I do wish you all well and urge you to examine your personal post over
the past month or so and ask yourself "am I being helpful or
spiteful?"

For the record, I posted on 57% complaints, 35% compliments, and 8%
questions; 23 letters with only 2 responses. One from Domino's and one
from Target; I recommend you patronize these stores.

For all of you that think I am an uneducated hick; I have a college
degree, as does my wife, I have made life/death decisions throughout
my career, in 2005 & 2006 I made 36 platelet donations to a blood
donation center, look up platelet donation on google to see what a
huge commitment this was. I honestly feel as though my platelets saved
lives. I don't let my kids kill anything they aren't prepared to eat,
I believe every living creature has a right to live until it is ready
to enter the food chain. Yes, I catch bugs in my house, but I always
take them outside and let them go.

I have one more letter to write, then I am going to make cameo
appearances, not the daily barrage I am known for.

Domino's Pizza and Michael Waltrip Racing to Part Ways After 2007
Domino's Remains "Official Pizza of NASCAR®" Through 2008 Season

ANN ARBOR, MI, Sept. 13, 2007-Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ) and Michael
Waltrip Racing have announced their intentions to part ways after the
2007 season following Domino's first season as primary sponsor of the
#00 Toyota entry in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series.

The #00 team has been under the ownership of first-year team owner
Michael Waltrip, and led by rookie driver David Reutimann who
currently sits 40th in NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series points. Domino's Pizza
will continue its sponsorship as the "Official Pizza of NASCAR"
through the 2008 season.

"We are thankful for the efforts of the entire MWR team, and
appreciative of our 5 year relationship with Michael Waltrip," said
David Brandon, Domino's Pizza Chairman and CEO. "He has been a great
brand ambassador and partner, and has been instrumental in connecting
Domino's with NASCAR fans. We wish him and the entire MWR team well as
they continue to work towards success in this highly competitive
sport."

Reutimann qualified for nine of 12 races with Domino's as primary
sponsor, with the team failing to qualify for the NNCS races at Las
Vegas and Bristol last March. After a strong practice session at Texas
Motor Speedway last April, the weekend qualifying session was rained
out, forcing the field to line up based on points - and sending the
#00 team home for the weekend. However, Reutimann generally
outperformed other Toyota drivers, and showed promising ability with
some strong runs - including a 13th place finish at Richmond earlier
this month.

This person has demonstrated he has has nothing to offer here, and
that he would like to use the site in a very selfish manner. First he
says (in the Target stole $35 letter reply maybe a week ago) that
"Target is the worst store on earth." Yesterday he said he will plan
to shop at Target this Christmas season, in a *letter* to Target. A
poorly written letter, with an offhand reference to the pharmacy. No
supporting interaction or experience, just a comment. He also said he
was leaving here for good, and came back a day later. His words mean
nothing. I trust not many people here have any use for such a
person's presence.

He is clearly trying to manipulate this site to his own purposes - get
attention. He wrote that particular letter (and others) just to see
them in the top whatever list. He admits that above. This isn't a
place to play such juvenile games. The site has a much grander
mission - allow consumers to send meaningful comments to companies.
The "reply" function doesn't interfere with that in any way. The
companies don't see the replies, unless they have a lot of time on
their hands and come here to look for them. It does allow people with
valid complaints to get assistance from people who go out of their way
to research companies and policies, and then post a response. People
with baseless complaints or bad attitudes are not treated with kid
gloves. You are right about that. A lot have worked as CSR's, and
have dealt with this stuff all day. So they have a nose for what is
right and what isn't. There are cases of "high fives", which I guess
is somewhat human nature. My first letter had a response like that,
but I didn't take it personally. I lurked sometime more and figured
out that people are really very helpful here.

However, if a person wants to come here and act like an ass, he/she
will be treated like an ass. I don't know about you, but I show
little attention to my ass. Except, of course, when I am dressing up
for my ass clown routine.

You need some cheese for that wine, and you have no idea what an ass
clown is, trust me, it isn't a good thing to cling to.

"It does allow people with valid complaints to get assistance from
people who go out of their way to research companies and policies, and
then post a response." Most of the regulars only go out of their way
to find information to either bolster their their own arguments or to
attempt to invalidate the OP's complaint. For the most part, unless
ies one of their own, they ignore compliments and do little more than
question the OP's right to send a letter to the almighty god
"Corprate".
Personally, I have been visiting here for over a year now just to
watch the AC show.

You really follow my writings closely, I am flattered!

Clete

I Have decided to return, I could care less what anyone of you think,
feel free to post all your garbage if it makes you feel better.

Even though I didn't post for a while, i did read and I owe it to my
fans to continue my work here.

I am going to start with a new letter to Target this afternoon, be on
the look out, it is going to change the way you shop at Target in the
future.

Clete

It seems as if everyone dislikes what I post, but these same people
can't wait to read and post comments, sounds like a double standard,
BUT

I have decided to abandon my contributions to this site, the people
that post here need to contact Jerry Springer, it would make a great
show.

I hope all you Ass Clowns (AC) enjoy wallering in each others filth,
as for me, I wipe the stench and move on to better things.

This has nothing to do with the urgings to leave, I have just become
bored with the format. Look for my book!

Oh, and when the traffic drop too low on this site, the administrators
of PFB have my e-mail, they can always invite me back...

Good Day Skeezers!

Clete

I don't see a need to wait until Friday to make the announcement.

I want an award and I could care less what some foul-mouthed
troglodyte has to say.

To those of you that are civil, thanks for showing that our
educational system does work for those of us that put in a modicum of
effort.

Clete

I am considering a move to a different consumer site, but I need some
feedback first.

I will take the opinions of everyone who post to this blog, and if
more people want me to go than to stay, I am out of here!
