Default Wow, my first rude question from Ebay!

Well, I must have arrived! I've gotten my first rude "question from a
member" on Ebay! I feel so honored, LOL!

Actually it wasn't a question so much as a brief comment. And I quote:
"Raku is a clay process not glass!!!!!!!!" (Please note the severe
overuse of the exclamation point) That's it. Well, hm. I'm perfectly
aware of that, you D.A., thanks for nothing! :P

Here's my response - which I haven't sent off yet, as I'm trying to
bite my tongue, virtually speaking...

"Well, for your information, I am fully aware that raku is also a clay
process, since I ALSO make clay beads. The name of the GLASS frit that
I used on that set of beads is called "Raku Jitterbug" and most
lampwork bead buyers are familiar with this fact. So the name of my
bead set happens to be completely accurate. At last search, 59 other
beadmakers also used Raku in the names for their beads. Did they all
get the same scathing comment or am I the lucky one today??

In addition, if I want to name my beads Raku, Terra Cotta, Crackle,
Stoneware, Earthenware, Porcelain, or Solid Gold Wrapped In a Hundred
Dollar Bill I am perfectly free to do so. Please find a better way to
use your time."

Grumble grumble grump! Someone tell me not to send that, or I'm
gonna...

Send them this -- they don't deserve more, or less, from you:

Solid Gold........oh honey I like you.
I wish I could tell you not to send it, but since I'm ****ed at an eBay
seller right now, and want to send my own scathing note to her, I'm just not
in the mood to be eBay friendly;-)

I agree with Sooz. You never know where someone so rude as to post that
message might also post your reply. Better to take the high road here.

For what it's worth, I love your beads and I especially like the look of the
Raku set. I would bid on it, but I've already spent this month's beading
budget...and wire budget...and clay budget. Well, you get the picture.

Also, I don't know squat about lampwork (yet) but I've seen metal clay
projects that mimic Raku, so I knew what your title meant even without being
familiar with the glass frit that you used.

I think that whoever sent that post must have had a bad day. As we say here
in south Georgia, the person who sent that post needs some sugar!!!
