So my new laptop is showing a minute little area of wear from where the screen apparently touches the edges of the mouse pad when it is closed (I carry it around a lot). So I decided to buy a screen protector. Lotte Mart had a few different models. One for 10,000 won, and another for 15,000 won. The 10,000 won one looked really dark, so I didn't buy it. I got the more expensive one. I got it home and took it out. Installing the thing was a royal pain in the butt. Pulling the plastic off of both sides of the thing was damned near impossible, without leaving little strips of sticky stuff on the plastic protector. When I finally did get it on, I noticed how horrible the image on my machine looked. Terrible, in fact. Much darker, and blurry. I pulled the thing off, and the darned piece of plastic is not even close to clear. I just got taken out of 15,000 won. We'll I'm going to try to carefully repack it and see if I can't a refund, although I know I shouldn't. All I needed was a nice, thin,, clear piece of plastic that I could tape up over the screen with two little pieces of tape around either edge. What a joke! My big mistake.

Did you buy something to protect the screen from damage, or to protect what's on the screen from prying eyes?

OMFG!!! That is unbelievable. I can't believe the mods allow that guy to continue to exist here. And that post is over 24 hours old and hasn't been deleted. I turned the whole thread into a PDF file and sent it to a group that is about to rip Dave Sperling a new azzhole for allowing that to exist on this server. Make a negative remark about Koreans and get banned but accuse jews of benefitting from the holocaust and nothing happens????? WTF???And if I'm banned for this post so be it. As a jew I am deeply offended and never thought I would see something like this posted in anything but a skinhead hate forum

While Mr. Igotthisguitar's post is indeed deeply offensive and disgusting, you are aware that the mods can not police EVERY post on this forum? It is possible that they are not even aware of it. That's why we have a report post function on here so we can report posts to the mods that contain this kind of nonsense (kindest thing I can call it).

You don't get it hack. Bulsajo is sharing your outrage at IGTG's claim that is mentioned above. He is not stating it.

Of course, if you are talking about IGTG, my apologies for misunderstanding your post. But that post is pretty bad.

Simply report the post. I doubt the mods spend all their spare time looking for posts. They are people too and have a life. Report the post and then if nothing is done you will have support for your position.

I did that (reported the post) before I posted my reply to igtg, but in all fairness to the mods these things do take some time- it's a sticky situation for a number of reasons which any regular user here is/should be aware of.

Also I'm not looking to have igtg's post removed so much as I want people to be aware that he is not just some silly eccentric poster who is a bit whacky, as I believe is the general consensus of him here.

You should read The Holocaust Industry by Norman Finkelstein. The whole book is about how Jews benefit from exploitation of the Holocaust survivors and from the Holocaust as an ideology.
