Revengeful heart

There was a certain person in a FB group that I have joined that was removed from the group for flouting the group's regulation. The group specifically stated that ADS from shops were not welcomed only personal items can be sold in the group. Along the way, there were a number of warnings posted to remind people not to place sales ads. Obviously, this certain person ignored the rules and thus was removed.

I did not notice this hate behavior till I saw the person posts in another group that I have joined. In the ADS post, the person specifically indicated that members from the former group cannot buy from the shop unless they "dislike" the group. I was taken aback. Why would a person go to such extend to jeopardize his own business by discriminating against members of a group?

I am amazed that his hatred of the group admin is extended to all members of the group. Well, it is his own business that he choose not to sell to a certain group.

One hour later he posted another ADS offering huge discounts on certain products and is available to the same group's members only. The condition is that the members must post a picture of the product and like it.

That again amazes me.  Has the person so blinded by hatred that he posts conflicting ADS? The first post stops all purchases from the group. The second post ask the same group to post a "like" before they can purchase with the discount. They are self excluding.

I posted a comment querying the conflicting message. The reply is that I am not able to keep up with the cyber speed. Without asking for clarification, I would assume that he invalidates his first post so that the second post can be viable within an hour. That brings another issue to mind. How would people knows your business trend if you changes your ADS that fast. Would your ADS become obsolete by the time I go to your shop? Furthermore, a black and white ADS is legally valid unless it is withdrawn. Of course, in this particular issue, the ADS is self invalidated by the second post. However, that does not clears the confusing message the person is posting to readers.

Business ethics is one thing. The point here is a person's rage could drive him/her to do unwise things. In the first place, you have violated the clearly stated group rules and ignored repeated warnings. Why do you fly into rage when your membership is removed? Clearly it is not the admin neither is the members' fault. If every one flout the rules then what is the rule for? Getting into a frenzy over your own fault is not a right thing to do. Jeopardizing your own business in this way is not a good way to earn a living either.

Hatred always follows by revenge. This is human nature. The urge to get back even is always one sure way to cause unrest. I am really sad to find such person doing unwise things like that.
