Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

Your logic is faulty. You, he and she are not the sole arbiters of what the author intended. The author is entitled to have a say as well and I doubt very much they would say that is what they meant. With justification too. What possible reason could they have to be deliberately misleading in such an obvious fashion that they're bound to get found out?

I suspect in this case it's just a sloppy, badly-worded piece of work by VM's marketing dept. It wouldn't be the first time.

Response from the author Steve Stewart Managing Director, Customer Care who signed the letter.

That makes it ok then.
Is he going to send out a less confusing letter now as that one has caused confusion as to what it means?
No, best to keep it sloppy and badly worded as normal.

Are you saying that those who have received the letter, and those that question the letter, are not the ones who should judge what the letter means?
Who should be the one to judge what the letter means?
And you say my logic is faulty?

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

I very much appreciate the fact that you agree with me. It's very noble of you to admit you were wrong in such a public fashion. :tu:

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

:wtf:

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

Indeed. This would probably be much the same Marketing Dept who proudly wrote to all ex-videotron customers in London announcing they could get broadband some three years before they could.


Anyhow, Virgin probably have some sort of get out clause on this..

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

I love the way you use irony to demonstrate that you agree with my point.

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

I'll make use of the smilies to better express what I mean.

<removed>

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

But I know what you mean. You're using wit and irony to say that you agree with me, and you are wrong. Your meaning is abundantly clear to me.

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

You don't fool me.
You're trying to get me to use one of them smilies again, aren't you

:xmas:

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

No, I'm trying to get you to see how ridiculous it is to suggest that someone reading a statement has more right to interpret it than the person who made the statement.

You say one thing, I take it to mean something else, I insist that I am right and you are wrong, you get completely P***ed off.

Geddit?

Happy Easter by the way. ;)

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

The person reading the statement interpret's it the way it reads.
To say that the only person who knows what it means is the person who wrote it, is just plain crazy. Especially when there's quite a few in the virginmedia feedback group querying what it's supposed to mean.

Geddit?
Good.

Oh and I'm not p***ed of at all. It takes a lot to get me p***ed off.

And :xmas:

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

Virgins legal people are now looking at this :)

Re: Oh dear someone's in trouble
 

Haven't had this letter... dont suppose someone wants to scan it in.

If it says what you have said it says, it sounds like false advertising

I would run up a massive bill courtesy of richard then argue it out in court clutching the promotional leaflet.

It is from VM?

And like the adverts in the press offering customers the ability to download as many music tracks as they like unlike sky as vm put it.
Somewhere along the line the asa has to take a look at vm's dodgy tactics.
