It's like you're in Kumbaya Day Camp and can't understand why the bus doesn't just wait for you while you dillydally at the flagpole retreat at the end of the day.
Marriott Vacations Worldwide isn't our doting grandma and it doesn't exist simply to make us feel loved.
It's a timeshare company that was developed and must operate in compliance with and constrained by all the laws and regulations that relate to timeshares.
It's a publicly-traded company that has to balance its responsibility to Owners with its fiduciary duty to its shareholders.
Owners aren't due any more or less than what's bestowed or withheld by virtue of the governing docs.
Not one person in the history of the world has ever been forced to purchase a Marriott timeshare.
"Buyer Beware" is as much in play with timeshares as it is with any other purchase that's protected by legally-bestowed rescission rights, and it's not MVW's fault if people are too ignorant (in the truest sense of the word) or too trusting to avail themselves of protections that are available upon every direct-purchase of a timeshare. MVW is even less responsible for the ignorant purchase decisions made in the external resale market.
(Yes, I feel strongly enough about all of this to answer in bullet-style.)
I, and the many others who are sick to death of you turning every thread into a tirade against Marriott's timeshare management, don't feel as you do that Marriott is a bullying overlord. Some of us have a long history of taking our reasonable questions and concerns directly to the source with the reasonable expectation that we'll be heard, and although we don't always come away from those queries with the answers we want, we're not ignored when we're reasonable. We don't expect "compromise and mediation" from MVW because that would be a fool's errand, as much as it would be to expect the same from the banks that hold our home mortgages or the electric companies that provide us with light after dark or the oil companies that fill our tanks before winter sets in.
Your expectations are, IMO, completely unreasonable. You do not appear to have a basic grasp of how timeshares are legally-structured or how the budget administration works. If you feel "bullied" by the company(ies) that developed, sold and currently manage the timeshares you own, and you can't attribute it to violations taken by any of those companies against laws/regulations, it's probably best for you to get out of the timeshare playground. And quickly - before the bus leaves you behind!
And now as Moderator: I've lost count of the number of threads in which you have commented about Marriott's perceived wrongs done to its thousands (millions?) of Owners. You need to be done turning every thread into your personal grievance outlet. Fair warning, I'm going to start enforcing the 'no duplicate posts/threads' and 'stay on topic' TUG Rules. If you have a problem with that, feel free to Report this post so that the other mods/Admin can weigh in.
