(Putting this in a new thread rather than mucking up WANNAVEE's thread further.)
I thought you blocked me? Guess not. Anyway, you might want to rethink those words friend, last interaction we had you very quickly degenerated to attacking my intelligence and character when I kept presenting you with facts and logic and then ended the conversation in a huff because you apparently didn't want to admit you might have been wrong. This time around you didn't simply say you didn't like the camo, you told him he destroyed the vehicle and made it pretty clear you were upset that he ruined the exact thing you were supposedly looking for. That wasn't constructive criticism in any sense of the term. This is the exact quote of the so called "constructive criticism" you gave WANNAVEE (and other than your snarky reply you gave me, the ONLY thing you said to anyone in that thread):
So no mention of camo, or that you wouldn't have done that if it was your vehicle, or educating him on just how rare good examples of CE's are and that it would be appreciated if he chose something less rare to do this to, or anything like that. It was just telling WANNAVEE that he 'destroyed' and 'ruined' a limited CE, apparently just by putting Plastidip on it and repainting the calipers and removing interior pieces that can easily be put back in. Which guess what? That's not constructive criticism. That's just demeaning him for his choice of what to do with his own property. People can buy what they want and do what they want with it. Sure, you can make comments about it, but you really should rethink how you word them. You don't have the right to treat someone poorly just because you don't agree with what they did with their own property, and then falsely claim it was constructive criticism when you get called out for it.
Constructive criticism is meant to help someone improve and be better, not tear them down and demean them (which is all your comment was doing). I know very well what constructive criticism is, having been management for customer service roles in several companies including American Express. They make absolutely sure you know what constructive criticism really is since it is a huge portion of your responsibilities. Agents tend to react poorly to non-constructive criticism.
I guess you're old enough to know better, or at least that's the claim you've given me. The only person here who apparently doesn't know the difference between constructive criticism and being a prick is you. If you really want to show me how to act like an adult, you can start by being nice to those around you, even if you don't agree with them. Treating them poorly shows that you don't know how to truly be a mature adult, rather that you know how to act like an immature excuse for one. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say about this. Live a good life my friend.
Being able to accept constructive criticism and not simply expecting everyone to agree with however you think is called being an adult. Saying I don't like camo on vehicles is a personal opinion, saying I don't like camo on vehicles and your an idiot for doing it would be demeaning. Learn the difference.

Wow. I've been looking for a nice low mileage CE for 8 or 9 months and you destroy one. Could have just found an Alpha with lockers and saved ruining a limited CE.
