> If that is the case, then everything is emotional. For all practical purposes the state of the world is encoded into the universe. Relaying that state does not require emotion to carry into the message. If I exclaim 1+1=2, what emotion can you extract from that? The motivation for suggesting that 1+1=2 requires emotion to be present internally, but those emotions do not leak into the information presented. > Do you…

We are talking about support, not complaint. Those are very different letters. Are you suggesting I should sent a complaint about the support to TMobile to get it in line with my expectations? That I can do. I will need to sleep on that. Something feels off about the argument, but I can't put a finger on it. If it is all just 'pipes' and phones and Twitter is in the same category, then the difference is that it is a…

As before, "should" cannot be answered in good faith, but a request for support ("Can you help me with my problem?") is very different to a complaint ("You have not resolved my problem."). People are going to do what they are going to do, but traditionally people will request support first and file a complaint only after that request failed to achieve resolution. Have you first requested support for the problem you have with support?

And different companies go to where their particular customers live. If customers live on social media, social media is where the company will place their effort. That doesn't mean there won't be any effort to try and help others in other places, but there is only so much time in the day.

Small claims is definitely less than $400k. In Texas the limit is $20k. It probably doesn't really matter though. Your contact with Stripe probably requires arbitration but that isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Check out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31567673

Do you still technically have a contract with Stripe after they've suspended access to your funds? I'd assume yes, but it seems weird to have a contract still in force with a company who refuses to do business with you...

You can literally claim 'breach of contract' and force them to perform under the contract. Stripe can stop further processing under the contract by all past actions until their notice of termination is going to be under the contractual terms as prior agreed upon.

I think I will bow out. We are going in circles without a clear way to reconcile differing views. Lets agree to disagree.

Where do our views actually differ?

My only takeaway from all this is that you don't like the way things are with respect to how T-Mobile conducts support. That cannot be disagreed with. What you claim is your opinion can only be taken for what it is.

How would one even begin to disagree with that? "No, that's not your opinion! You actually feel this." I have no way to actually prove that assertion, leaving it to be an illogical statement and a bad faith response.

And that is your opinion. The response was a bona fide response, but I am no longer inclined to indulge this sophistry. You are wrong even in the summary itself. I provided reasons and rationale for why a given opinion is held and your response was to indicate that it is 'wrong opinion to hold, because A', which itself is just an opinion. In short, our views differ, because you hold an opinion that I hold the wrong opinion.

It is impossible to argue with that and so I will not spend more time on this thread.

Fare well.
