Port-In Delay
Phone port finally went through this afternoon after I took up my case with three or four of Smarty's webchat agents. They escalated my case after I badgered them yesterday citing technical issues on their end.
Took a whole week. Good luck to anyone else doing number ports.
Jaybird, might I suggest reading the House Rules.
Your "port delay concerns" are not a problem at all, I perfectly understand them. I can appreciate wanting your port to be in place for your call later today.
I have been asking for clarification of what you have been posting as some of your words have been open to interpretation.
If you feel that that request for clarification, and my other responses, make you feel like you need to walk on eggshells, then perhaps you need to consider "how you would feel" if someone had posted in a similar manner, with you as the object of the comments.
In your post above you say "Far too much hassle already to be dealing with overtly-sensitive readers lecturing that my port delay concerns can 'cause offense'". This, to me, is passive aggressive phrasing.
If you don't like being held responsible for the words you use, then either stop using them, or consider their effect on others (whether that's on forums or at work) before using them, and if needed rephrase your comments.
Although you don't seem to like my responses, they have made me wish I had never tried to help. If you treat others in a similar way, some will stay silent. Others will stand up for themselves, just as I have done.
Good luck with your call later today.
I have read the house rules and I'm curious about your continued overreaction to my comment when it was a generalisation and nothing more. I can delete it if it upsets you so much. I'm sorry you seem to taken such personal offense to something that, frankly, isn't there.
If my frustration over the situation is coming across as passive-aggressive to you then noted, but it's not aimed at any one person. So telling me to read the rules over something you see and something I didn't intend at all seems a little patronising. I really don't appreciate your lecturing and if you say I don't seem to like your comments, well I certainly don't now?
Perhaps you should hold your own feelings accountable before you jump in pointing the finger at me for my broad statement. I realise now it could have been misread, as you've most certainly proven, and I'm sorry for that. But that doesn't mean I need to go reviewing my own responsibilities for my actions. Pot kettle black here as far as I'm concerned.
Have a good day.
Good luck with your call, if you ever get it. I hope you use a better attitude with new customers.
