Lmao wat. How the fuck does a company making gaming peripherals rack up a $70 million dollar debt? Pretty rough though, the CEO who ran it for 25 years got stood down over it so maybe he got complacent.
Fanatec is basically sponsoring a million different things, so that’s probably part of it. There’s only so many F1 fans you can sell a steering wheel to.
Curt? Would you have preferred I elaborated more? I feel like that would have been more condescending. I did not answer your question because I did not have an answer for it.
Given your other reply I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re being genuine. Curt, rudely brief, emphasis on the rude. There are only a multitude of ways to correct someone politely; especially if the correction changes practically nothing about the original comment. An easy example is “hey just so you know…etc”.
Also, I think if you’re going to reply with a correction an attempt should ideally be made to actually engage the comment rather than just driving by with a list of corrections. Also, a personal preference, avoid the list. You’re not my employer or my lecturer and those are one of the few people I’m enthusiastic to receive an unsolicited list of corrections from. Tone doesn’t travel great over text so it did come off a bit catty. Certainly wasn’t the worst I’ve been spoken to on the internet so it’s whatever.
That could be it but text certainly doesn’t help, since it’s difficult to convey and interpret tone. It’s a widely acknowledged issue with text based communication. I think the correction plus the to the point structure of the correction might have been it. Even just prepending a padding statements like FWIW are the social lubricant needed to ease the tone into friendly/neutral territory. That’s just my opinion, if that communication style works for you that’s fine too.

First, you don’t need to say dollar if you use the dollar sign before the number. Second, it was euros, not dollars.
Great, neither answer the actual question I asked in jest. I appreciate the correction though, however unnecessarily curt it may be.

I’ve been told I speak to strangers in a very matter of fact kind of way. I don’t think it has anything to do with text.
