My letter to Dick's Sporting Goods
Upon hearing that Dick's had decided to suspend sales of AR-15 rifles, I decided to write to their customer service. I welcome constructive critique to improve how I represent our community in the future.
There are some silly typos and it's on the short end. since I had to write the letter in one of those postage-stamp sized comment boxes. Quote:

I'm not sure what you're going for there. "I strongly suggest", maybe? If that's the case, it should be something like, "I strongly suggest that management reconsider this decision." Also, the "personal guarantee" of loss of money from family and friends is not something I'd include. The last part, I know for a fact that companys consider MASS quantities of these types of letters but a single letter by itself means nothing. They don't really believe that most people will really never shop there again and they certainly don't believe that most of your friends and family won't either. They'd be right too. Most people who make these "promises" will be back in a few weeks/months. I'd leave that part out entirely, it's only for dramatic effect and rather hurts the credibility more than enhancing it.

Dicks Sporting Goods pulled guns off their shelves in stores near CT. Dicks Sporting Goods is reconsidering the sale of so-called assault rifles nationwide.
THIS IS AN EXTREME REACTION TO A CIMINAL WHO COMMITTED A MASS MURDER. I will never buy another thing at Dicks' Sporting Goods. |

Brian's critiques are well taken.
Since we have two thread running on the issues, I'm going to close this one and suggest it continue there. GEM
