US generosity once again shines through

Go back up & read the edit from previous post. I probably shouldn't have told him to butt out though.  His posts are just as obsure and meaningless as the rest of ours, regardless of how important he thinks the world may view any posts on this forum.

What was obscure about my post?

It wasn't a portion of your post that's obscure, it's the entirety of the posters & their remarks on this forum.  Your notion that any of our posts here could possibly capture the interest of any PR of note and rain fire onto HTC as a result of what we're saying is just ridiculous.  Yet you'd tell Skuzzy to delete the thread to deter the media-blitz? 

You ain't in the white glove circle around here.

Marauding Conan, are you by any chance Italian? If you don't mind me asking.

Perhaps, but your posts is in a forum run by HT, thus reflecting on HT. There are a lot of non-US users in both this forums and clients of HT.

Irelevant of the issue that you might not care about what the world thinks of you. People are taking offense on some of the positions stated here (Just look at Iena's post). And it can only get worst. For a company that has clients across the world, that is not a good position to be at.

I am not here to lecture people. But, in a tragic situation like the Italians find themselves on, I don't think you should throw insults at them (for that matter ever; but this is particularly sensitive time). For HT point of view's, this might not be good time to allow "your clients" to trade insults in an open forum. This sort of situations can quickly get out of control.

I am not Italian. I am French.

Your prior post stating that there would be a PR nightmare is a far cry from the post you've just placed.  It's a great thing to not wish to offend other posters on this forum; or anyone else for that matter.  It is indeed a tragedy that the Italians are going through.

As for insults getting out of control, you'll probably fare better checking yourself instead of the rest of us.

I find no insult in his post. He even compliments Americans.

My dear fellow human beings from the United States:

The situation in Italy, although tragic, is managable, and will be Italian government that manages it. Any offers of help, however insignificant or extravagant, are a normal human reaction to a tragic. Sometimes in difficult situations, we like to know that we have people standing behind us if the situation calls for it.And so, we let people know that we are there for them.

Based on the overwhelming popular reaction in this forum, one can assume that my fellow human beings from the United States lack empathic. I know that is not the case. I have lived in the US. I know that Americans can be the warmest and simpatic people when the situation calls for.

Now, remember, this is the internet. Anyone in the world can see what you are writing. And what you are writing reflects on your country.
