However, I see derogatory terms (fraud, shady, sketchy) used a lot here.
They are referenced to specific agents.
Thats what bothers me.
These are often not framed as “is this acceptable or shady?” but more like “where do I report these shady deals and liars?”. (eg: this thread)
In most of the recent examples here there is no indication of dishonesty.
We are calling people liars without there being a lie. Considering that this has a direct effect with regard to them putting food on the table, I don’t see the benefit in jumping to conclusions.
Don’t get me wrong. I believe in airing grievances but I just think responsibility matters.
But TG is right, I should do better with delivery.
And for the record: I don’t know that this example is innocent. I just don’t see any indication of sketch.
