???? Why the hell are you now talking about other disks?!? What
exactly are you trying to spin here? This has nothing to do with the
rest of the disks on my queue, you galactic MORON! This is about
"Superman the Animated Series Volume 2". If you want to leap to
Netflix's defense by attacking anyone who was screwed over by them,
could you at least stay "on topic"? They told me they had the disks,
they kept me waiting for months, then they suddenly claimed the disks
are unavailable. PERIOD!

One. "The Triangle". I checked all the "very long waits" in my queue
and discovered that "The Triangle" had suddenly become unavailable too.
Whatever pro-Netflix point you are trying to make by this is not
clear.

Saying a disc is "unavailable" when it is still in print and

Yeah, it's all my fault. It probably became available the second after
I deleted it. Perhaps I'm being too hard on Netflix. Maybe I
should've given them ANOTHER couple of months to figure out whether or
not they carry the movies they claim to have available.

So the articles about Netflix's throttling tricks, and the non-stop
class action suits are the product of those without a firm grip on
reality? Really? Funny, I thought they were hard fact.

By entering this thread to attack people for insulting your precious
Netflix, Jeff, you're just as much a whiner as I am, if not more. I
started this post to exchange grievances. You came to act like an ass.

Yep, Jeff, you are totally right. Corporations love us, and never
engage in unfair practices in pursuit of higher profit. They never fix
prices, deceive the public, or hide unethical practices. All
medications are priced as low as humanly possible, and gas prices are
so low that oil companies barely make a profit.

We must all exercise blind trust, even when we encounter blatant proof
that we're being jerked around. We can't have Jeff making any asinine
comicbook analogies about us, can we?
