Everybody knows who "realitycheck" is. He's been a regular poster here for over a year. If someone impersonates him, everybody gets confused.

I agree with realitycheck that Adm does, at times, come off a little high and mighty at times. It’s just a silly website, people. And most of the posts are not constructive. They are, for the most part, just mindless chatter: “Who’s the new ARM . . . which female has the nicest ass in group 41 . . . or so-and-so thinks their Branch Manager is a penis.”

Like I said, no real content. Failing Enterprise’s main function is a place to vent about this horrible company or gossip about its horrible employees.

So there really is nothing to be arrogant about. And I wouldn’t really feel that I had achieved much. Yes, you’ve had some Enterprise representatives come and talk to you. They accessed you as not that big of a threat. That’s why you never heard from them again.

I’m sure you’ve got contingency plans in case they brought you to court, as they probably have one for you. Rest assured that you’ve been deeply discussed amongst their horde of lawyers. But you just don’t pose as big as a threat as you’d like to think you do. And, as long as Enterprise makes their money, they could give two shits about what gets said here. Yeah, they might not like it . . . but they also are not trying their damnedest to shut the site down. When they start fighting you tooth and nail, then you’ve really done something. Until then. . . .

And unless you’ve arranged for some financial support in your efforts to topple ERAC, you don’t have a prayer. Not even a good, old-fashion Christian prayer. This is America. And, sadly, the peons (me, you, and pretty much everyone) get fucked by the upper one percent.

Before you start thinking I bleed green, know that I hate this place with every bone in my body. I’m only here to pay my bills.

Yes, ERAC will fall. It will fall b/c nothing lasts forever, just like Wal-mart and McDonalds will fall eventually. It will not go under b/c of your (despite how much you want to believe it) efforts.

I agree, to a point. I don’t see Adm as arrogant, just dedicated.

Unless Enterprise starts lying to their stockholders (Enron) or begins to draw national attention because of their bigotry (Denny’s) it’s not going anywhere. This site is basically a cyber soapbox to air out the injustices handed down by this company.

And it really looks bad that you still continue to use them, Adm. I mean, if I had launched an assault on a company, I’d never use their services or purchase their goods again. At least, not until they straightened up. But, you just proved one thing: That people are not brand specific. They are bargain motivated.

And Enterprise is heavy in the philanthropic scene. They donate vast sums of money to certain charities. Are they really sincere in their raison d'être? No. But people will lap it up. And ERAC knows this. It’s very similar to John Gotti throwing lavish 4th of July parties in his neighborhood. “Look, I’m not a thug. I’m a hero!” It’s all a big smoke screen to cover their shady deeds.

So unfortunately for all those who have been fleeced and those who will be fleeced in the future, ERAC will not be changing their policies any time soon.

But I haven't rented from them since I started this website. Read the FAQ.

Thanks for a well-written post. We need more like this.

Also a well-written post; thanks.

You seem to make a habit of pissing people off and then mocking them for their reactions to you. It's just adding insult to injury.

Let me get this straight: I'm silent when you piss off other people but I push back when you do it to me, and this mystifies you?

You are seriously lacking in social skills.

Here you go again. You intentionally piss people off and when they get angry, you put all the blame on them, hoping to persuade everyone that they must be unusually sensitive or something. Take responsibility for your actions! If you're going to piss people off, when they get mad about it, just quietly think to yourself "Yup, this is what I get".

So you know how you come across, but I don't know how I come across?

The only things that get a lecture from me are things that could either generate nasty letters from humorless attorneys or are racist, gay-bashing, or getting too out of line talking about women's sexual history. Everything else is generally fair game, even your postings.

How is this reality somehow in conflict with what you describe as "you post a ton of shit that doesn't contribute to anything". I disagree with your description, obviously, but even if your description were accurate, how is any of this even remotely in the category that generates an effort at steering the conversation from me? You're mixing apples and oranges here.

It's not "challenging" me that I object to, and it disingenuous on your part to suggest it is. There's a big difference between challenging someone, which I heartily encourage, even if you're challenging me, because I might learn something, and simply being verbally abusive and causing people to throw up their hands and log off.

If you don't recognize this difference, then you need to turn off your computer and do some serious thinking about your relationships with people. I think you do recognize the difference and you're testing here to see if you can blow smoke and get away with it. Has no one else ever challenged you on this stuff?

If you disagree with some of my arguments and ideas, that's fine, but please don't try to confuse that with your intentionally being an asshole on the board. The first is a battle of ideas, and the second is a battle of people.

For starters, you intend them to sting so bad, right before you throw out a variant on the "Just kidding" line.

And of course you think people "take things way too seriously". People are pissed off at you and you're trying to dodge responsibility for it.

Because you're such an asshole in the way you do it. There's a huge difference between saying "I disagree with what you're saying" and just trying to pound on the other person. No adult ever scores any points by that second approach.

Oh, and here we go again: I object to your postings, and you say I "throw a hissy". Have you ever reconciled a conflict with anyone by trying this approach?

Maybe it's just the anonymity and cover that this discussion board provides that lets you try out and explore this way of interacting with other people. If you did this in a work environment, you'd be fired.

Get it out of your system. We're a community of adults looking to help each other out. Why don't you join us?

Reading some of your retorts cause me to lose brain cells. You should consider being a psychologist or a politician when you retire. Thanks for proving my point about taking things too seriously. Do you think about my frustrating posts when you're not logged on? You....you don't dream about me, do you?

There's really only been a handful of people I've been excessively sarcastic to. I think you're just mad that you're now on that list. Because you seemed to encourage it before when you weren't. Gotta go. Got some work to do with regards to my social skills.

You know what, realitycheck? This site would be a lot better if you weren't on it.

I think the longer this site stays up and running, the more of a chance that it COULD make somewhat of a large difference. The mere existence of this site annoys the green. They thrive on public image (bullshit donations, gay commericals with harmonious background music, misleading homepage). This site isn't doing anything wonderful for their image. The only way they may do something is if their image or their profits take too big of a hit. Then they will react moreso than they currently have. They still probably won't "get it." They will just make their efforts to eliminate this site more intense.

If they're in the "Today I want to be an asshole" part of your brain, then this is probably good news.

Thanks for proving my point that your primary defense when people point our your bad behavior is "You're taking things too seriously".

Other people don't push back on your bullshit, and this is my problem?
