More H-S Derision

HS Precision responds, by basically not responding:

To Our Valued Customers:

H-S Precision has received comments relating to individual testimonials in our 2008 catalog. All of the testimonials focused on the quality, accuracy and customer service provided by H-S Precision.

The management of H-S Precision did not intend to offend anyone or create any type of controversy. We are revising our 2009 catalog and removing all product testimonials.

Sincerely,

The Management of H-S Precision

Yeah, that's hardly acceptable. "We're so sorry you got all offended"? I used to work for a guy whose apologies all consisted of "I'm really sorry that I said you were an idiot, while standing where you could hear me. That was poor judgment on my part, I really should have said it in front of your coworkers." I hated working for that smarmy prick, and would never give my money to anyone who acted like he did.

H-S Precision just made the very short list of fully-irredeemable companies, for apologizing only because his mom was standing right there telling him to say he was sorry. I hope that FBI contract from 2006 makes up a lot of their business, because the civilian shooter knows a total lack of sincerity when they read it. What Tam said, get a McMillan stock, and keep H-S Precision on the permanent boycott list. The entire staff can all go collect unemployment, just like everyone else who makes stupid business decisions in a bad economy does. Stupid ought to hurt.

Sent them this via email, feel free to borrow it.

To My Stock and Rifle Supplier:

We have received your so-called apology for using Lon Horiuchi, a man who murdered Vicki Weaver under color of law, as a spokesman delivering a professional testimonial for your products. All of the so-called apology focused on the the fact that you didn't mean to offend anyone, but you'll take it back because we're touchy.

Clearly, the management of H-S Precision did not intend to actually apologize for a gross error in judgment and taste. We are revising our 2009 purchasing plans to include your competitors, and will boycott your products wherever they are offered for sale.

Sincerely,

The Prior Customers of H-S Precision
