porchlight Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 This is prettttty hilarious. I called you "Mr. Trump". That should have been your first clue into the fact that it was a joke. Second of all, my business has been around and done well for 4 years without your support--so thanks for nothing, Mr. Trump. Lastly, lots of bands that you and I probably both really like (hardcore bands, punk bands, indie bands, metal bands, etc) stop in and say hello whenever they're in town, so I'm probably not too much of a real life jerk. Just because someone runs a business doesn't mean they will kiss your ass. I especially won't kiss your ass when you can't understand a blatant joke, that wasn't even very insulting. To make up for this giant misunderstanding, I will offer you free shipping via Media Mail if you pre-order the next dump that I take. chipfondoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not defending his reaction but I did think his question was valid regardless of how it was worded. Remember, when you answer a question about a product on a public forum, you're answering it for the individual and whoever happens to read it. And FYI, here's a pic of my setup. Not only did I order one I linked your site to a friend who also bought one. Based on what I'm seeing from you in this thread, I will not be a returning customer. Whether that means anything to you doesn't matter to me as a consumer. Congratulations on making some really cool designs that I enjoy and good luck to you in the future.

I'm really happy that you did buy a slipmat and shared a link with your friend. Thanks! But I have to seriously ask: how can you be offended by such a blatant and lighthearted joke?

trevorxramage Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 But I have to seriously ask: how can you be offended by such a blatant and lighthearted joke? Dude, nothing on the internet can be blatant. I have no idea who you are or what kind of personality you have. I read your initial comment in a tone I thought fit. If I was mistaken I guess its sort of on both of us. But with the amount of snarky people on these forums could you really blame me for reading it the way I did?

raidenradio Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 But I have to seriously ask: how can you be offended by such a blatant and lighthearted joke? The first "Mr. Trump" comment didn't bother me that much, but your second response definitely turned me off as a consumer. I feel that people who come here to sell their products need to have more tact than your average forum member (see Travis). This is a totally free forum that anyone can use to promote their products and while I know many forum members can be jackoffs getting into an internet pissing contest doesn't make you look any better. trevorxramage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejesseb Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If anything the original Trump comment makes me want to buy one of these. I thought it was lighthearted and hilarious. Porchlight, you and I would get along. toxicity and maxnadz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porchlight Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yo... Do you think you can print that whale slipmat on a black mat? Maybe at some point, but we just got another shipment of 'em on white. If anything the original Trump comment makes me want to buy one of these. I thought it was lighthearted and hilarious.

runforcover Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 porchlight, you are a prime example as to what's wrong with this forum. Really? Because I would argue that you are actually a prime example of what sucks about this forum. This dude is creating a cool product people want at a reasonable price. You're just some dude acting like a complete baby because he responded jokingly to your useless post about his product not being good enough for your standards. Ordered the whaleship slipmat as part of a gift for someone, it came yesterday and looks perfect. tokimedo, paintedinexile, thejesseb and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangsAnalSatan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Jesus, did it really take ~6 months for the slipmat to make it to New Zealand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andynz Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hah, no. They only recently came back in stock and I picked one up. It usually takes a couple of weeks for stuff to get all the way down here. The Porchlight guys (Zack) were great to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangsAnalSatan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I wasn't assuming it was porchlight's doing; I just figured your postal service was abysmal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
