Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

Joel really has no idea what the word debate means, yet he's the self-proclaimed master debater.

Soon we'll be seeing his classic debate move, where he announces that this thread is done and that he's gathered up his toys and is going home.

Groundhog Day, starring trsent.

Pretty soon he'll be leaving the board permanently...again.

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

WHY? Because this serves no educational purpose and got off on a horrible tangent. It is just a ridiculous back and forth like elementary school kids.

Why don't you and Joel and anyone else that wants to duke it out do it somewhere else and trust me, I am speaking for the majority who is sick and tired of this moronic behavior. Joel has provided his email so do it off the Forum.

This is about "game used" and interesting OT sports topics not about bullying and mother-in-laws, etc.

Andrew, I emailed Rick Moore twice. The first email I was sworn at and attacked with a crude, playground expression. The second email I was told to keep my views and interest to this gentleman on the forum, that he would add my email address to his SPAM folder.

I tried to take the concerns of Rick Moore off the forum, but he wants to have a public, internet only hanging of me for giving my opinions and replying to people often addressing them by their full names.

Sorry if some find this bullying - I am just trying to address those who make opinions.

If he cannot handle a "debate" with me, life will have to go on, because I am not going to be bullied by a guy on an internet forum who cannot debate like a mature gentleman.

Why does everything have to be a "debate". You have used that in so many Posts.

Can't you start taking these debates off of the Forum?

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

When someone is losing an argument, they attack the person making the argument by calling them names and resorting to swearing and bullying.

Richard L. Moore emailed me at 6:49AM Central in response to my mature, grown up email to him. He called me a rude swear word and used profanity to attack me.

If he cannot handle a "debate" with me, life will have to go on, because I am not going to be bullied by a guy on an internet forum who cannot debate like a mature gentleman.

Walter Payton would be depressed to see such a man unable to discuss and debate topics who has to resort to petty name calling and swearing and threatening because he doesn't like one's debate style.

I have done nothing wrong, but personal attacks and offensive language are not allowed on this forum, and per the forum rules, ignorance of the rules will not be a defense.

Finally, if I have lost business because people do not like my debate style, I am really sorry. I have bought and sold items from many forum members over the years and I believe I have a solid delivery-payment record. You do not have to like my debate style, but at the end of the day I sleep well.

Finally, I will call the moderators of this forum to take action against those who have abused forum rules. I do not appreciate being called foul names on this forum and then after the moderator removed the post - The guy posts about it again. Why are there rules if the moderator doesn't properly punish those for abusing them?

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

Why?
Based on the responses thus far I'd have to say that is the monority opinion. People are simply speaking up (finally) regarding a glaring issue on this forum.

If people have somthing to say, let them say it.
Bullies shouldn't be tolerated in any aspect of life, be it the streets, the internet, or wherever.

34swtns, you are astute and articulate. Don't relent in making your very apropos observations.

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

As a longtime member here who comes to learn I'm not sure why topics like this are allowed to continue. When they get off topic the thread should be locked, and when it happens enough it would deter people from arguing.

It's Christmas. Peace.

you have to love internet bullies, who probably couldn't punch their way out of a wet paper bag in real life.

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

34swtns, I could not have said it better myself. Truer words have never been spoken. I will stand up and agree with you. I think if he continues the way he has, this forum would be a better place without him.

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

sure, he's done the same with responding to some of my posts as well. It's a shame though because there are six or seven Bulls jerseys on Ebay I was going to purchase but wil refrain from now.

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

You want maturity? Try some of this.....
The reason there's no need for you to email me is simply this, if I have anything to say to you I'm going to do it in public to your face without fear of retribution from any of your buds who might be moderating this board.
The bottom line, Mr. trsent, is that you use proper speech as a cover to enable yourself to come off as an ASS.
You speak to people condescendingly, you act as though you know everything and your purpose here is to "school" all of us with your perceived vast knowledge, but I do believe that a lot of people here would agree that you mainly succeed in making yourself look like......well, an ass.
You seem to patrol this board like some self-appointed "sheriff" trying to pick a fight, any fight, with any number of board members every day.
I imagine there are several members who agree but won't stand up to you because of your perceived "position" on this forum......know that I am not one of them. Your replies are increasingly inflammatory, patronizing, and generally $hitty in tone and I, for one, am getting sick of it.
I absolutely detest bullies and even worse, "internet tough guys".
I would suggest you govern yourself in a more socially acceptable manner, i.e., bring yourself back down to earth with the rest of us.
You are not all-knowing. You are not omnipotent. You are not above anyone else here in this forum. Start acting like it.
And don't bother with the "I never said I was above anyone else" bullcrap. Your actions have already and repeatedly spoken for you. My final suggestion to you and I also suggest you take it to heart is that you make a heartfelt, sincere apology to the members of this board, in general, most of which you've offended with your self-righteous rhetoric at one time or another.
Now, before you start typing what I'm sure will be a vast diatribe of self-promotion and damage control aimed at belittling myself and this posting, I would also suggest that you read this again.....slowly, taking in every statement that was made and when you are done, actually think to yourself, "is it possible that these things may be true"? If you can do this, and I hold little hope that you can, you will have taken the first step toward rejoining the rest of us mortals back here on earth.
Seriously, try it. You'd be doing us all a favor.

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

Wearing it in Vegas was my way of marketing it...and it worked. 6 years ago I owned Mannings Citrus Bowl jersey from his days at Tennessee. It was amazing! I wore it in Bellagio also....and was offered 2500 cash for it. I later sold it for more than that...but the point is wearing it in Vegas is the best marketing I can think of.

lots of ways to sell or market a jersey. heck, cutting the thing up into a thousand pieces has worked out pretty well for some. but i think most collectors at this forum prefer when a piece reflects its original condition, as in when it left the player's back or the team locker room. short of such provenance, i think most collectors would like to at least believe that an item was handled in a manner that would preserve its history and integrity. so, needless to say, stepping out in vegas wearing such an item probably doesn't make most collectors at this forum feel warm and fuzzy - nor would i think it would make them overly eager to purchase items from you. jmho.

but, hey, to each their own - just ask american memorabilia!

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

Why do so many post on here get derailed and off topic? In this case Loomis was man enough to admit and error. I see Rudy's point on wearing jerseys and creating additional wear, but it really is the owner's choice to do what they want with them. In a perfect world, we would have autheticators that could determine the use was not consistant with game usage and take a few points off here or there. In the end, I would bet that Loomis would still wear them around Veags if it meant the value would drop.

Otis, I love your sense of humor. Just be careful or you may get someone coming back at you with full middle name included....just like your mamma did growing up.

Oh great, now I'm going to get called out for refering to your mother...oh well.

The thread was derailed because an immature member of the forum called me a name in a post, which the moderators immediately removed. I hope they suspend this immature user for bringing the topic back up again. I do not believe people name call when they do not like one side of the mature debate that was in progress.
