Harri Rautiainen wrote:"If I learned anything during my years in business, it was that anytime I hear from the customer, it is good for me (as a seller). A grievance and angry complaint represents the lowest point in the customer relation. Once I'll be able to address the complaint things start to go better. Once I solve the problem satisfactorily, I'll get a loyal customer who always turns to me first for new business. Then again, I was not in saxophone business..."
 
But Harri does abide by his own advice through his actions.  I forwarded Harri examples of the sexist statements on his website, but he did not care to hear it, so he "banned" me from posting on his website.  So, why does Harri promote a sexist agenda on SOTW?  Is Harri Rautianen a male chauvinist?

What do we know about Harri?

Harri Rautianen is a Finnish published writer and owner of the internationally acclaimed "Sax on the Web" (SOTW) forum. He posts publicly searchable and available statements on SOTW almost everyday under his real name.  Strangely, however, Harri publicly advertises himself--both on Facebook and SOTW--as "a wealthy man who spends his time enjoying himself, esp. one who behaves irresponsibly or is sexually promiscuous." 

After all, isn't this what a "playboy" is?  How creepy is that?  Some might see an older man acting like this in an amusing light; after all, old men often escape ridicule for being perverts, correct?  But this stereotype does not justify sexism, gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and the objectification of women!  Why does Harri post objectionable images of women and enable his loyal SOTW "moderators" to promote sexism"?

Is this a man you want controlling a public forum your young daughter has access to?  Would you trust Harri with your 12-year-old daughter?

On Thursday, January 26, 2012, Harri Rautianen, published author and owner of the internationally acclaimed "Sax on the Web" (SOTW) forum publicly proclaimed, "Jrjen nt Amerikasta!" (Voice of Reason from America!) in response to an radical-leftist American's statement comparing murderous and kidnapping Somali pirates to the likes of former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson and former U.S. Senator Prescott Sheldon Bush.  This came just days after U.S. Navy SEALs bravely rescued two kidnapped aid workers from the hands of these murderous criminals.  Shame on you Harri Rautianen!

#3 General Comment

How were you ripped off?

AUTHOR: TheTruth411 - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, May 25, 2015

 Not liking comments on a website and being banned from a forum has nothing to with being ripped off or scammed. I would agree with the owner. This was clearly done in retaliation from being banned from their website or forum.

#2 Consumer Comment

Harri Rautiainen and Michael Semann of SOTW are Cyber-bullies

AUTHOR: Baird Liszt - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, February 22, 2012

The highly-educated woman who provided the captioned complaint against Harri Rautiainen's sexism/bigotry/chauvinism is absolutely correct in filing such against Harri, Michael Semann (SAXISMYAXE) and their SOTW. I hope more women are brave enough to come forward and prove that Harri Rautiainen truly does have a gender bias and anti-American sentiment.  Also, I can confirm that the images proving Harri's sexism are indeed legitimate.

Unfortunately, SOTW is a gender-biased website where derogatory comments regarding women are tolerated; I have personally witnessed such posts, and such posts are readily viewable on SOTW.  

My main complaint against SOTW concerns that when Harri's band of Administrators are challenged regarding their bias, the SOTW member is "warned," "disciplined," or "banned" from the website.  Harri considers any challenge to his authority as an "infraction."  This is not an issue for me, but SOTW sponsors should be aware of SOTW's Cyber-bullying and sexism.

Sax on the Web - Report: #838856

AUTHOR: Sax on the Web - (Finland)

POSTED: Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Reported By: Harriisabigot (I do have his real name)

This person was banned from Sax on the Web Forum for multiple rule offenses and for harassing the administration staff. This Ripoff report is his way retaliate and it is complete unfounded and fabricated. 

I see that you have real consumer fraud reports. Publishing Harriisabigot's nonsense does not enhance the reputation your service enjoys.
