So much for that

Turns out I can't transfer my photo ops unless I don't go to the convention at all for JiB Con. I asked the staff to be sure, and got capslocked at for my pains. Seriously, who does that in official correspondence? I was courteous in my inquiry, and got a response that was bordering on rude, though I suppose some of that can be attributed to lack of familiarity with the English language.

There are courses and tutorials on how to be polite in official correspondence. I really wish more people would take them and take the lessons to heart.

I'm off to go find something else to do so I don't dwell on this and have it make my afternoon unpleasant.

Sorry to hear that :( I hate rude correspondences.

Is there are rule that you have to be the one in the picture? Maybe someone could still buy them off you and you can work it out that way?

Wow. Capslock. I'm so sorry. *pets* I agree. Some people really need tutorial help. Or at least remember what was said in said tutorial.

If it helps any, I'll be posting my [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time comment-fic either tonight or tomorrow-ish. YAY FOR FERAL [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique prompts that turn into 'verses on you....

Sorry to hear that.

Wow, so much for politeness and professionalism.
Capslocking is pretty much universally known as textually 'shouting' so that was pretty rude of them :S

I hope your afternoon got better! :)

Guess, you really catched them in a bad moment with something that has been asked over and over again from people who would not understand even if you screamed it at them, so you ended up getting the emotional Italian side of them, when for you a simple "sorry, can't do that" would have been the better way. Usually they are really good about answering questions.
I mean, other con-teams in Europe will not answer you at all and refuse any selling forward even if you can't come at all.
