He graduated Harvard College. He has a Ph.D. from Harvard University, and a law degree from Harvard Law School.

Think I see the problem right there.

The guy is a complete total jerk. But then, what do you expect from Harvard? A president?

The restaraunt guy sounds like the Chinese business that I deal with in china for purchases, everything seems fine until they make a mistake or send you damaged goods, then the “game” is on.

They just will not just make it right.

I have seen a number of retailers cheat our forum members for minor amounts and then get kicked off the very sites of the hobbyists that they need to sell their product to and be badmouthed by the entire customer base, it is bizarre.

They will do the back and forth game, forever, days, weeks, even months as happened to me, and in a circular fashion, they will go down a path to a point, and then start back at the beginning, wearing you down over a minor refund or adjustment.

This should disqualify that douche from ever working anywhere again. But he will probably be able to work in academia, with Gruber. Especially in Boston.

What an a-hole. Even when he knows his email string is public he has no clue what a jerk he looks like.

He also seems to have a lot of free time. Not surprising.

Duan admittted that Sichuan does not have the budget for teams devoted to public relations or a website that is updated as regularly as it should be.

He is in the wrong. Pay the prof his $4. It doesn't take a team to update the prices. He's scamming his customers. False advertisement.

More proof that common sense is non-existent in liberals, especially the educated idiots.

Ran Duan looks like he could pop the profs head off with just a pinch of his fingers.
