With the recent release of Beatification (as well as other highly rated beers) and the flood of ISO offers, I've seen a trend appearing. People like to include the statement "Since this beer is still available" in their ISO. I feel this is an entitlement statement. Yes the beer may still be available, but that doesn't mean some BA should run down there and grab you some. Just my 2 cents.
This isn't really entitlement, it's just that people will try anything to make their offer seem more reasonable. What's funny is that particular one probably backfires and makes people think they're a douchecock more often than not.
Why not? Your statement appears to mean you feel entitled to define words & phrases to your own liking. Seriously, though. I did this a while back. I think it was BA Blackout, don't exactly remember. But anyways, it was a release I assumed would sell out quickly, & I was hoping to get more than a bottle or two, i.e. someone who could run & grab me bottles rather than pulling from their own stash. IMHO, there's enough entitlement going around without imagining it in every turn of phrase.
To me, this just seems to imply that if there's some readily available by you and you don't want to buy it for yourself, if you pick me up a bottle, then I'll send you something you've been looking for. It really just strikes me a trying to make the trade convenient for the other person; s/he doesn't have to pull a beer from their own stash.
