The whole point of my reply to the other poster was that he/she seemed to complain about having to PAY a late fee. A classic whiner. No matter which way you cut it. Whether or not Bockbuster was aggressive or obnoxious in their application of late fees is not my concern. They had a late fee policy. Live with it, don't complain or don't rent from them. Seems simple enough to me.
I do believe that is what I said. I do not like their late fee policy so i decided not to rent from them. I was not whining, I was stating a fact.
If I wanted to whine, you would know it. I just don't like the Blockbuster late fees.
If that's all you said, I would have had no problem with you. But you went quite a bit further than that. No, the point of your reply was to excoriate the poster under a false understanding of what constitutes the "rules".
Furthermore, it's entirely reasonable to whine about rules if you're obeying them anyway. It's the folks that don't obey the rules and complain when Blockbuster terminates their contract that ought to tick you off.
As I said in my earlier post, Blockbuster's initial late fee structure was IMO quite reasonable, and it benefitted their bottom line to boot. Their more recent late fee structure was ill-conceived. And since I never attempted to circumvent it, I'm quite justified in complaining about it.

Ah, so it's a policy now? So do you concede, then, that if I accept the terms of their late fee policy, by paying the fees when appropriate, that I am not "breaking the rules" simply by keeping a video for an extra day?
