			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>WARNING: SHOCKING LANGUAGE FROM CUSTOMER BELOW</strong></p>
<p>Ok, so maybe the title was a little dramatic, but still, I didn&#8217;t know I was *<strong class="moz-txt-star">this* </strong><span class="moz-txt-star">awesome<span class="moz-txt-tag"> </span></span>at marketing <span class="moz-smiley-s1" title=":-)"><span> <img src='http://ravisrants.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>
<p>Over the weekend, when I thought of giving away my best-selling book on Amazon for free on the <a href="http://NBLEB.com/blog/" target="_blank">book&#8217;s blog</a>, I never imagined that my copy writing style &amp; marketing prowess would bring out such strong emotions in people&#8230; <span class="moz-smiley-s1" title=":-)"><span> <img src='http://ravisrants.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>
<p>So, on one of the email groups that I&#8217;m a part of, I announced that they could get my book for free. And apparently, one guy wanted to just buy a digital copy right away. And when he couldn&#8217;t find a &#8220;buy&#8221; button on the blog, here&#8217;s what he wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;You have no Fucking idea how to sell &#8211; you are a third world CUNT &#8211; when a prospect has already made a decision to buy you should provide the click button to buy &#8211; you have failed &#8211; because you &#8211; do not believe that you can succeed &#8211; am I right cocksucker?&#8221; </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Now that is an EXACT copy-paste from his email.</p>
<p>Now here&#8217;s my dilemma:</p>
<p>I was so furious initially, that I wasted most of my day yesterday plotting revenge on this guy, and how to ruin his career and online reputation. I wrote up an entire blog post spending several hours, detailing every email exchange we had. But didn&#8217;t publish it.</p>
<p>See, on one side, I wasn&#8217;t sure if going ahead with my revenge saga would do me me any good at all. Too much time wasted non-productively, too much negative energy &#8211; the usual &#8220;law of attraction&#8221; stuff.</p>
<p>But on the other side, jerks like this can&#8217;t go on without facing any consequences, and go on like business as usual after such a racist rant.</p>
<p>But then peace prevailed. And I have decided to let go.</p>
<p>But feel free to comment below and let me know what you think.</p>
<p>(Here&#8217;s the offer that started this all: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nbleb.com/blog/">http://NBLEB.com/blog/</a> )</p>
