On your site, how many phone orders did you receive that were smart enough to see the large letters? I'd guess it was more than the e-mails you got.

Large numbers of humans are stupid, I get it.

However, getting lumped in with the bottom 10% because you happen to be in the same species at the same time also gets old.
I guess it's not really the dumb 10%. It's really how much fucking overall static that small number of assholes can generate...the negative din really can overwhelm the positive.

Your business is different I'm sure. But this guy seems to be complaining about the same thing that made his business. He isn't the first company making t shirts. He pushed buttons. Thats what some people loved and others hated.

I hate hearing about business failing. But this one didn't fail. He just is tired of what made him the money. So I don't feel bad at all.
