Yes, I'm aware they're real humans, but blasting someone, who specifically requests not to be blasted, with 10 texts a day, is emotional and mental abuse, and the human doing this is not a person a would ever respect (while I wish them no harm). I see these organizations only a couple notches above those asshole scammers. And it's because they're real humans that the berating actually works.

Also, I should clarify what I mean as 'berating' in this context: a simple "fuck off" or "who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you texting me?!". I do not mean that you should go calling them slurs or the like. Don't insult the person, only be extremely hostile in your response.

Do what I do with every aspect in life. Mix and match. Brand loyalty is for the 50s and should remain there. When brands are not loyal to their customers, their customers should not be loyal to the brands. Plus, you get better tools for cheaper, overall. Though, this works less with power tools due to the proprietary batteries...

Good points and all, but 2 + 2 != 2...

...how?

Damn, that mash looks tasty!
