[Histonet] Reliable Histology Team Member to embed and cut for you.

[Contact HistoCare]

I'm sorry you feel that way but my responses have been respectful and courteous even as I have been attacked for making a service available to those who need it. If my advertising was not of interest to anyone in particular it is easy just to ignore.

I'm just not understanding how someone can tear down a person for mentioning an available service and in the course of defending my business I get backlash.

I didn't ask to be singled out in a derogatory manner on a public forum.

And I should have allowed someone to throw their personal fit at me for the second time whom I had absolutely no ill feelings toward? I just don't get this at all.

This could have been handled easily and privately by respectfully being asked if I was aware of the histonet 'custom' of not advertising and that it would be frowned upon since this isn't a forum for commercial interests.

I would have relented and moved on.
