I certainly said I did NOT call you a fanboy a second time. I was told not to do that.

You wrote 7 (SEVEN!) paragraphs on how someone is led to believe they are saving $140 dollars, but really saving nothing with a $70 dollar gift card. Think about that for a moment.

I say you are basically saving $70 dollars with the purchase, as you can use that money to spend on other items.
(That's it. One sentence. It's NOT THAT COMPLICATED.)

You also completely shut down my argument initially by saying "No it doesn't depend on the customer." No, "I could see how you see it that way", or "Some people might view it like that", just a straight "nope, you're wrong." You started all this, not me.

First, you really really need to calm down.  Second, you asked me to explain how I got to $140 so I did.  My apologizes that it took me seven paragraphs for me to explain the scenario when in the end, you still didn't understand it.  I guess I should have written a novel for you next time.  

Second, I never once told you that you are wrong.  I even said that you got part of it correct in my long winded (SEVEN!!) paragraph post.  Me saying "well you got part of correct" means "nope, you're wrong" in your eyes.  Got it...

Well then let me rephrase:
It does depend on the consumer.  Those that get tricked by the retailer and those who don't.  Better?

So you're basically still saying anyone that thinks they are saving $70 are too stupid to understand they aren't?  

The reason I originally called you the dreaded "F" word was because the other possibility (the fact that someone actually believes they are saving no money) seemed too crazy to be true, and that you were just trying to spin it for your own cause.  I apologize for giving you the benefit of the doubt on that one.

A novel would not help.  What I'm trying to say is that if it takes 7 paragraphs to explain something as simple as a gift card, you're probably overthinking it.  You are certainly entitled to your opinion, it's just not one that I believe to be correct (as most would agree).
