"To deal with people in a patronizingly superior manner."

This is the oft-published definition.

What's the problem here?

"Martha", the anonymous, clearly did not read ANYTHING on biddingfortravel.

She is "not sure" because she expended zero effort to "help" herself.

She requested "other information you could pass on". Would that help Martha? Do you THINK?

I do not find Sheryl "harsh", rather amazingly RESTRAINED!

Anyone can choose to take advantage of Priceline or biddingfortravel or NOT. One thing is for sure. Anyone who just doesn't care to help themselves simply is beyond the assistance of others.

Condescending,

My real name is Martha! You need to go back and see what my second posting was. Frankly, I am sick of this post. Let's move on, shall we?

Gee, Martha, you didn't have to come here in the first place, not that anyone cared or was even interested. You can go anywhere you like, now or whenever. Gosh but no one is keeping track of your posts!

dear martha, you are a troll.

Here is your first message:

"Not really sure how this website works. If I bid for a hotel room and it is accepted, do I have to pay for it immediately? Or do I pay when I stay like a regular booking? Any other info you could pass on would be great! Thanks"

your second message:

"Actually, I never even went to the website. I, like most VP's, rely on those beneath me to do my menial work! You did not disappoint. Good work, boys!"

and your third message:

"Condescending,

My real name is Martha! You need to go back and see what my second posting was. Frankly, I am sick of this post. Let's move on, shall we?"

Martha, if you are so sick of this thread, why did you bother to return to post a response? Is it that you like to instigate arguments among participants on this board? You were trolling and you wasted a lot of people's efforts providing you with a lot of information, both pro and con about BFT and Priceline.

Martha, if you are not a troll, you are very lazy VP.

Obviously you are one of those VP's who won't last long. a) Relying on others, b) Relying on the unreliable.

Martha, I'd like to apply for the position as your secretary, because I'd love to make a reservation for you at the Roney Palace in Miami Beach. The perfect room for you would be a smoking room, next to the elevators, by the loud swinging fire doors, and with a view of the dumpsters in the parking lot.

To all,

If you go back to my original question, nobody among those that replied answered it. That is why I am the VP and you are all the p----s.

Martha, you're going to be an unemployed VP very shortly. Anthony, the first poster that responded to you, answered your questions.

He told you that you do not bid on Bidding for Travel. He told you that it is an online bulletin board for advice on how to bid on Priceline.

Since your questions were about BFT, and you were told you can't bid on BFT, your subsequent questions were moot and not answerable relating to BFT.

However, they could have been answered in regard to Priceline, had you asked about Priceline, but you never did.

Martha, you are not VP material. I don't even think that you are qualified to be a file clerk. You obviously don't comprehend what you read.

X,

Yada yada yada! I do, though, have the hottest topic going! Please enough already. Your poor dear husband.
