Domainers - why the attitude?
WTF is it with a lot of these domainers (people who buy and sell web domains) being total arrogant, narcissistic assholes?
Seriously. It seems like no matter where I go, what forum I’m on or at a convention a lot of these people act like they’re god’s gift to humanity. People, you’re not. Get your head out of your ass and smell reality.
I’ve seen some high-end domainers tell people that they are not worth their time because they didn’t know an industry niche acronym. I spent the day being flamed on a forum because I asked of a domain I registered could be considered typo-squatting (registering a domain that is a common typo of a common one, say mocrosoft, and trying to make money off of it) while “private” forums in this forum PROMOTE typo-squatting and tell people how to get around it. Talk about hypocracy.
Also, a friend of mine (who is a very knowledgeable person in his field and well known in it) got .com’ed by someone who is profiting off of my friend’s name and also possibly tarnishing his reputation by posting links and ads to sites he wouldn’t approve from (plus illegally publishing books with stolen money).
Why the hell do we have ethics and karma? Hell, people who do things illegally or shady make it big and live a life of luxury in their homes in the Caribbean while people who try to do things the right way have a hard life living off of Ramen noodles and macaroni&cheese.

The last sentence in this post is so true, Ramen and Macaroni and Cheese is all I eat!
I have a lot of problems with people that are arrogant selling to me. A lot of people have never taken a business class in this niche and many other online business and don’t quite understand “the customer is always right” and “customer is king” concepts.
