Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

Joel, I posted what I believe to be the appropriate name for you to sign at the end of your own posts but it appears to have been deleted.

Suffice to say, the person who deleted it might possibly be the only person on this board who would disagree with me to that end.

I emailed you personally - If the moderators removed the thread and then you post it again, I assume they will consider suspending your account. I do not appreciate the personal attack and if you were a man you would refrain from the immature, childish, name calling.

I 100% stand by it. And don't bother emailing me.

Sir, who are you to call me names in public, like an immature little child, picking on an honest man who likes to reply to people by their names so that the proper people understand my comments are directed to them?

If you cannot talk to me privately about your concerns, you are basically telling me you are a worthless contributor to this honest forum that cannot handle adult debate.

Please return to the Chicago Bears Fan Forum and whine about Lovie Smith or whatever they do there but this forum is for adults who do not name call and insult like immature children do not like people who give their views on various adult topics.

Aren't rules meant to be followed?

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.

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

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

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

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.

TIME TO LOCK THIS ONE UP!

Re: I Sold A Fake Kobe Bryant GU Jersey

TIME TO LOCK THIS ONE UP!

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.

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

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.
