Top 5 reasons your post was subjected to hostility:
5. Google "vaguebooking." Yes, it's common enough on here. But if you do it, don't be surprised when peeps are annoyed.
4. As someone who does not frequently post on the board, you are subject to being treated as an outsider. I'm not saying this is right, just that it's a predictable phenomenon.
3. Your post was instantly suspect given easily-researchable information on your own website. I know you have asserted a semantic difference, and you are probably right -- having specials listed does not automatically indicate more specials will be negotiated. Nevertheless, it just makes your position look faulty, flawed, and facetious.
2. The fundamental theme of your post was to criticize a hobbyist. Whether he deserves it or not, when you attack that side of the community, you have to expect an attack in response.
And the NUMBER ONE REASON:
1. You're not really hot at all. Guys will put up with so much more from a hot chick than from an ugly one.
Hope these sincere comments are useful information for you.
