ok, so after weeks of back and forth with a regular futueshopsucks.com contributor who claims she is not a FS employee I have a hunch as to her identity(I say ’she’ based on her writing style…50/50 shot right, lol).

We all know her matter of fact, smells-like-corporare responses and many of us have responded to her with outright accusations that she is a FS employee.She denies it every time but it wasn’t until she responded to the accusation in one of the recent posts that it dawned on me.  PRIONS is not a FS employee as she notes, and I tend to believe her.

She writes clearly  with a limited number of errors and as stated, in matter of fact style.   PRIONS never curses or even raises an ire in any way to direct attacks.  I’ve looked back to past posts and she’s been on this site for a while.  When posting a response, she seems to zero in, not on the actual issue which is generally related to service but moreso the ‘easy-out’. 

 ex:  someone buys a TV and is told it does X. [NOTE: After buying 2 computers, I can personally say the average sales rep knows little more than the specs on the box] A month or so later when customer tries to do X, he/she finds out the TV does not do it.  Customer returns and explains situation and wants some sort of reparation and is immediately told the exchange policy is 30 days, too bad so sad.  After waiting what feels like hours and being passed off to different people, a manger arrives and does nothing more then reiterate the original response.

Someone buys a $1,000+ TV based on bad info and nothing eh?  Not in my Canada damn it!   PRIONS will point out that the exchange period passed and FS was in the right.   Sure,those are the facts but the issue is, and seems to always be, the behavior and more so the behavior of the  poorly educated sales rep.  But PRIONS can’t comment on behaviour, that wouldn’t fit with a standardized response.  Any posts that straight up call FS employees liars are dealt with delicately but tend to point to yet another standardized response or attack the customers experience.

What am I getting at? 

PRIONS is most likely a PR account rep.  I’ll even go further with a theory that rivals anything Dan Brown could write… PRIONS is a rep from ION PR. http://www.ionpr.net/

I don’t have any proof but I do have this to proclaim:

Her ability to actually do any PR and curve the anti-FS sentiment in anyway is limited at best and I wouldn’t pay her a dime if she is paid in CND $, this is a pure outsource job.  I was in communications for 3+ years and she doesn’t even follow the basic rules to tackle negative comments on websites, whoever is paying her needs to stop.    Being so transparent only adds fuel to the fire, heck,  after I posted I would’ve left this site alone if it weren’t for my special friend PRIONS. 

If you are in fact PR.  Get off the blog.  What a waste of a limited communications budget.

If not.  Get off of the FS ’sauseege’ because unless you two are dating, there is no reason to  take the side of the  illegitimate son of Satan. Seriously.  You won’t win.  I won’t let you win.  I’ve got this shit on my mobile devices, laptop, desktop, cattop(my netbook strapped to my cat…).  Typing is easy and effortless and if it becomes too hard, I’ll outsource if I have to.  Whatever it takes.  I made my fortune raising guinea pigs so I got the time and the money. 

My point is, why fight the inevitable?  Resistance is futile.  Vive la revolution!!!!
