Got this off the discussion. It's a reply from comic book guy to fithelere:
Quote:
I suggest you find a way to make peace with the Browncoats.
With Nathan Fillion, perhaps. That's not my thing to do, though, so I'm not going to worry about it. As for the Browncoats, you guys have been spamming our email and fax machine, and haven't exactly been polite about it, either, so...
So, basically he considers people telling him about his business practices spam. Sorry buddy, but that just ain't true; it's legitimate email. Just because there's lots of it, doesn't make it spam.
Now the sheer fact that it's a landslide of email... That should make you think.
Point of fact, you reap what you sow.
Point of fact, you can't justify being an a**hole because people are being a**holes to you after you've been an a**hole.
Point of fact, not everyone is being a**holes in there email/faxes; polite criticism (or just criticism) is not being an a**hole.
Who does this guy think he is?

Some mere employee that only caught half the story while he was responsible for the phone? As far as I can tell, Darryl didn't and won't make any statement OR read any of the angry mails, because he is the owner and can make his employees clean up his mess.

Can people try and remember that the livejournal entry is NOT a reply to Nathan's comments on the UB. They are NOT by the person responsible, they are NOT the owner, they are the comments of someone who worked in the store and wasn't present to the incident with Nathan.
Some browncoats have been going over there and talking s**t to the guy for just posting about an incident that happened at work like the guy's the devil and making all browncoats look like jerks in the process. He has a right to be pissed off, people aren't thinking about what they're posting when they're going over there.
Please read all the posts before you even think about commenting because we really are coming off badly in this.

Well, threatening someone's wrong, and no real browncoat would do that. Let's just make a point of that.
Callin' him on bein' a jerk I think we all have no problems with.

I would hope that Browncoats are conducting themselves with restraint and honor and not coming off as rabid fans attacking this guy blindly.
I understand Nathan being upset, and I fully agree w/ a boycott of the business by all Browncoats willing to participate in response to the obvious price gouging of fans. The complete lack of courtesy and disregard for customer service of this comic store employee should result in an apology to Nathan and the fan community. Less than that & we should not lift the boycott.
I share the concerns of Chronic and others that directionless attacks will do nothing more than make an already bad situation worse and make the browncoats appear in less than a favorable light.
Please try to word your emails constructively and in a coherent and professional tone. What you say & do not only reflects on the fanbase but on the cast, Joss & Universal as well.

If this goes in any worse way than it is now, it will just put a black mark on our brown coats.

Worry not browncoats! I shall avenge our captain. I live in Edmonton, but I still never ran into Nathan. But his family should have warned him not to go to warp one, it's just a big rip-off, the guys who work there are complete a-holes.
So basically, me and my friends are going to make that man think twice next time he tries to rip off a captain. I'll even record the event. Don't worry, nothin illegal.
Keep flyin'

Just don't do anything immature or that will make us look bad! We really just want them to understand that their business practices are irresponsible, not "get revenge" or anything like that...

From the LJ:
"What you Edmonton browncoats should do is hold a protest outside the store on their busiest day. Contact the media, because they'll eat that stuff with a fork. The money he loses from lost business should make up for the years and years of price gouging."
I think if that was done in a responsible and proffesional maneer, that this would be the perfect oppertunity to let those guys know not to mess w/ the browncoats. Let's see what Mr. Gouger has to say then!

Hello everyone.
I am very sorry to hear about this situation.
I have been buying my books from Comic Fever in Edmonton for nearly two decades and have NEVER had a problem. (It's hard to complain when everything is 25% off for file customers with 20 books or more!)
We at comicbloc feel your pain and invite you to come check it out starting with this thread;

Nathan, it would be great to hear from you on there, plenty of today's best comic creators are regular posters but I don't think we have a film star yet!
See you in the Funnybooks! (Because I shop at Comic Fever!)
P.S. - ITV did a story on Warp and this situation tonight, Nathan knows what ITV is! :p
