Hi

[sharkegg]

Yes iam cathy from ft, I was told about your website by a good friend of mine, when i read all the things that you people have written about ft i could not believe it. Awilda, i can not believe you would tell such a lie if i remember right when you came into ft we would always talk, especially when you told me of your illness, and how we were going through the same thing. I remember the 155 bow sale and how you just wanted us to drop it on your front porch because you had some fireman friends that would help you get in your house,because it had to be brought the window and i told you we could not take a chance of breaking your window and you said thats why you had some friends that would help you, I also remember not charge tax and only $50.00 for del. because i thought we where friends.as for the man selling corals in front of ft you should tell the truth you where not swapping since you where the only one with the cooler, and recieving the money, all i asked is that you not sell in front of the store,thats like me selling tv in front of pc richards they would call the cops i chose to ask nicely you where the one who called me a fat white bit!if that is not racist then what do you call that as for all you others like the man who said i use to flirt with him till i found out his girl was asian, are you kidding me iam happily married for 19 years.. I am sorry for you people who only like to hear one side of the story and believe it all i can say if the truth hurts what can i say , as for the people who think i was going under the name catfish i really hope you dont think iam that stuipd to use my name did you ever think it was some one making you people think that it was me! i hope this post reaches all of you who think you know what really happened on sat. the man was selling frags in front of ft not a few doors down and when asked to please do it some where else if said fy there are always to side to a story yours mine and truth yes there where people who heard the truth !!!! what u choose to believe is up to you thank you cathy

If alot of people have the same thing to say...most of it must be true....its too bad these things are happening cause alot of people here arent buying from you guys...

I think you misunderstand something. If I want to give something to someone or sell it to them I can do it wherever I want to as long as the item is legal you can't say anything about it unless it is in your store. The street out front isn't your property, it's OUR property. The words you use are derogatory and disrespectful modes of address and you get called on it then you play Snow White being victimized by the Witch holding the apple? Come on we're all smarter than that. You have had nothing good to say about this club and it is stupid to alienate a 3000 member plus part of your customer base.

Oh BTW selling a TV from one person to another in front of PC Richard and calling the Police.......... use a better example next time been there done that nothing the police can do.

We know who the evil Witch and Snow White really are here at MR. You unfortunately don't.

Did you forget your other user name Catfish1, or just the password?

There Are Two Sides To Every Story And I Was Just Here To Tell Mine...thanks...

 

[sharkegg]

Like I Said Maybe Just Maybe It Was Not Me Did U Ever Think About That?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

In this case there are several sides with the same experience, and your little BOO-HOO post shows us nothing. I think you need to change our thinking and mentality and show people here that you are willing to work with us and maybe people will believe you in the future, it's highly doubtful but miracles do happen.

All the horrible, unforgivable nastiness aside, don't you realize that if I arrange to meet X to exchange some frags in front of your store that I and X are extremely likely to enter the store and thus are far more likely to buy something as we are actually in the store at all? Why do you think "we" chose this location to meet in the first place? Wouldn't you rather have me come inside even if I just bought some frags from a fellow hobbyist? As the owner of a niche business, you don't seem to understand your customer base very well at all.

Agreed Here. I have met other members there myself, done my dealings and have walk into the store and spent over $300.00. I was just there the other day and spent $160.00...

Like I Said Maybe Just Maybe It Was Not Me Did U Ever Think About That?

And when exactly did you say that?

I did give it some consideration, and rejected the notion.

I wish I could say I would never shop in your store again due to this episode, but frankly I stopped shopping there long ago.

:wow: in wRiting too... i'd have to side with Awibrandy on tHis. besides, i'm aSian, and I REALLY despise peopLe who hate my bRown sKin.

I cant wait foR this to be a major scandaL on maybe, ummm, Help Me Howard. They LOVE stoRies like this, especially when it deaLs with RACISM

 

[Awibrandy]

As to your comments to us being friendly. You are absolutely correct. Although my first impresion of you left alot to be desired, and for a while I wouldn't give you the time of day. Yes, we did share on our experience with cancer treatment. Hey, I even remember you telling me that your dad is an oger. I always thought, and said Mike (your dad), does come across that way but that I have never had any negative encounters with him. Mike even helped me out ones with taking my suv out of a tight spot in your father's lot. Yes, your father's lot as I do not believe you to be the owner of fish town usa.
Did I lie about the delivery problem? I don't believe I did, in the very beginning of my thread I STATED that I had told you that I would only need for it to be dropped off onto the porch. But that upon speaking with a buddy that would not be a good idea. So how did I lie?

Fish Town refuses to bring tank in house.HELP
Yep, just as the title says. FishTown USA refuses to bring tank into my house. I paid for delivery, initially I told the salesperson that they could leave the tank on the porch. But after speaking with Slamajam I learned that the silicone on the tank would seperate in the cold weather.
I spoke to George the manager, I explained the situation with the weather, silicone, and that my entry is a little tricky and they might have to bring the tank in through my window. George said nothing about extra charges. Owner's daughter just called me and told me that George denies the conversation, and that $100 delivery charge is for drop off only.

The tank is a 155gl.Bow Front 72 1/2" X 18" X 24" the center which I will call the belly is 24".

Can anyone help me by picking up, and bringing into the house? Obviously a single person cannot do this.
I'm in Far Rockaway

I will continue not to patronize your father's store as long as you are there.
I am glad that you came, and posted so that I could respond to the garbage you have been posting.

catfish1 not you? Then who, since the only other customer in the store was a woman with a small child, whom I would not believe to even think of using the type of language you used.
I did want to respond to those post as well, but the thread was closed before I had a chance to do so.
Well, I wish you all the best, and sincerely hope that what ever it is that is troubleling you so much will come to it's head that you may feel better. May God bless you!!!

[Chiefmcfuz]

Actually you need to look up the meaning of slander, oh and also look up the first amendment when you get the chance you will be surprised at what you will find there.

Hey can you explain what the truth really is? What rational explanation do you have for using racial epithets and slurs towards people? I would really like to hear that explanation.
