I'm referring to Twitter, Facebook, review sites and their own community forum- take a look on there.
|
So you've gone through their community forum for complaints. Did you bother asking for help at the same time?

You do that. That reads to me that I've proven you wrong and now you're backtracking. I did what you asked for. You asked for it.

I know the answer to that. Of course he didn't. Went to ofcom instead which is common sense

You sure about that?
What he means is for you to know the VM Community forums is littered with complaints, you must have been there. Why did you not ask for help about your issue on the very forums?

FFS Richard, give your crusade a rest. You never know, you might feel better for it.
You know dam well what I'm talking about - go back a page or so and read my earlier comment. I'm sure even you can manage that.

There you go, the same thing rolled out again, always trying for the sympathy vote.
So just so you are clear, no, Im not going to respond to you differently because of your "disability".

No I don't, I am actually neuro diverse following a brain injury, please explain what you mean properly. I am not on any crusade, I have now received my new box and the finer points will be dealt with this forthcoming week. I am merely responding to further comments (including those made by yourself).

What, exactly, is your issue with disabled people? Most right thinking people are more than happy to help those with disabilities and, even if not, certainly wouldn't go out of their way to try and upset them.
Disabled people have nothing to be ashamed of and need to make people aware so that they can respond accordingly, this has nothing to do with courting sympathy.
It's similar to you saying that you wouldn't raise your voice to help someone with hearing difficulties and that if they made you aware of this, they were looking for sympathy.
Is calling another member a 'bell end' now deemed an acceptable way to interact?

You were giving the help you were needed over the two threads on the subject and simply ignored the more helpful posts.
There is one very simple solution, leave VM. You've been told this for years. Stop locking yourself into contracts.
It's no more worse than calling someone's post "meaningless drivel", especially when you asked for it to be posted.

Re: Petition to highlight/embarrass Virgin Media into improving the way that they tre
Hello everyone
Can I suggest if someone is annoying you with their posts, just ignore them. There is an option to block certain users why not use that.
People (eg me) may wish to read this thread about the petition. Instead its just become hijacked by name calling and petty argument.
Please, please, please, do not reply to my post (ie what you are reading now) with any history of this shenanigans I am not interested. If you wish to discuss the merits or otherwise of VM etc brilliant.
Are there any mods that look after this website? If so, please delete all these silly, irrelevant and off topic posts (including this one).
Thanks

You get bad service, you complain on here, people try to help, you throw every excuse back, your contract runs out and as if by magic, you get such a brilliant deal, better than anyone can get and you sign back up for another 12 months.
Though for reasons, I'll keep out of here, I personally can't believe some things that come out of your mouth.
What happened to the person you knew that was high up in VM?
|
I posted him a great offer for SKY in this very thread which he ignored so i'm calling bs on him.
Also i have a disability but i don't use it as an excuse or throw it around like he does.

I never saw that, though i'm now staying with VM and have already explained why.
Explain how my disability has been used as an "excuse"? The effects of varying disabilities are fact eg would you criticise a person with dementia for forgetting things or repeating themselves? How am I "throwing it about" after simply answering a question posed by Hugh?
I'm speaking to Ofcom this coming week anyway about something else, so i'll let them know how harmful & upsetting such posts are for disabled people. What's been said and the fact that they've been left up says so much.
Hopefully this sort of thing will become a thing of the past once user generated comments become regulated. Perhaps the minority that do it are aware of this and are having one last bout of bullying? NB being disabled oneself doesn't preclude one from disability discrimination or any consequences thereof.

Mods have the ability to ban users - there are a couple who certainly should be banned (even temporarily to see if on resumption they stop their feuding).

You do know this is technically a privately owned forum and Ofcom can do nothing against it or its posters right?
You throw the fact you have a disability around a lot on here and on another forum.
But anyway i'm glad you finally got your VM issue sorted hopefully now you can enjoy the services you are paying for, you should still seek a refund though for the time you was without such services.

I don't agree with that - a small percentage possibly, the vast majority definitely not.
I spend quite a lot of time talking to foreigners in the course of my work.
