To think this "sage and savant" is a nutter?

I was given a peek at an email sent from an irate customer to another company. In it the customer says, "I must warn you that you are dealing with a sage and a savant."

This is business to business, not a random member of the public. Am I missing something or have they just made themselves look like a complete weirdo?

Yes, he should open a trinket shop with that name. Or a childrens clothing company.

PandyMoanyMum · 20/12/2023 08:09

LOL, yes, but see if you can take your post down as if the sage comes to hear you have been writing about them in a negative way on a public forum you will be in trouble

It's the title of a monthly steampunk podcast - The Tales of Sage and Savant is a monthly audio-drama podcast where Dr Petronella Sage strives to understand the power of Transmigration–the ability to transport her conscious mind through time and space into the bodies of dead people. With her friend, Professor Erasmus Savant, Sage explores past, present, and future, in a wild journey to prove Death is no barrier to Science.

Maybe it's a kind of in-joke between people who know each other? Or, of course, the writer is a twat.

I hope it was a joke. No one who was genuinely wise would use a phrase like that!

NotTerfNorCis · 20/12/2023 08:43

Sounds like Donald Trump, the stable genius.

Sounds like he could be a Twat too

posh way of saying don't mess with me!

BlowDryRat · 20/12/2023 11:50

Posh or just bonkers? It sounds like he's threatening to perform witchcraft on the person who's annoyed him!

Luckily I'm not involved at all (was shown by a person in the trail) so no chance Mr Sage-and-Savant will come to haunt me.

It's terrifying how many complete crazies there are out there, in responsible roles sometimes.

Sounds like David Icke!

People who words like that to describe themselves are usually horrible pretentiousness with an overflated sense of their own cleverness. Will just keep on and on in an argument, convinced by their own righteousness and won't give an inch because to do so is to have their whole identity fall around their ears.

Thank you for reminding me of this - any excuse to watch it again!

Maybe they're trying to warn the recipient that they're likely to find it difficult to communicate. Most savants have quite severe learning or social impairments and struggle with language and comprehension.

You have the address the reply

Dear Mr Sage-Savant,

(whilst using many alliterations in the reply eg thorough and thoughtful, sympathise and support etc)

I once got an email from someone telling me that he knew that I knew that he was connected the government and affiliated worldwide governments who, on religious grounds, have pursued a highly personalised campaign against him due to his close association with the spiritual workings of the universe and the fact that a plague was unleashed on the world the last time someone failed to address a complaint he had.

I bet he's one of those Magna Carta Freeman of the Land nutters too
