Well said! I am truly amazed how brave some idiots can be behind a keyboard.




Don't let the keyboard warriors ruin your time here. Keep in mind that 99% of the comments they make, are comments that they would NEVER say to someone's face. Unfortunately the internet gives cowards a voice, and they can type whatever they want without the fear of getting popped in the mouth.

The more you feed the trolls, the more they come back. Ignore the trolls and stay engaged with the true collectors here, in the end it will benefit you and the trolls will find there way back to the rock that they crawled out from.[/QUOTE]

Hmm... iPhone screen grab looks too small to read...

Here's a screen grab from the PC:

Woah. You should report that member for harassment. There's a report this message link in the bottom part of each eBay message. I think it's in the body of the message, not a button.

Unreal that someone could post that to you. The mods should def ban.

And no I'm not really back. Scan the topics 2-3 per month. So when u say the other boards are worse than here, you're wrong. Unfortunately this is by far the worst. As you can plainly see by the contributors and lack of posts. You guys make great points. The bears thread use to be awesome. Then fell a couple yrs ago to constant fighting insults etc. I don't know if it's because of lack of mods here or lack of time in Chris cavaliers life. One guy can't do it all.

I can't begin to describe how welcoming, helpful other boards have been. Also, there's a lot of self policing. Guys who don't know me from anyone have helped educate me, put up with my elementary questions, helped find items without anything in return. So much so I've been putting a lot of my money into other hobbies.

I know Goldin, who's great, doesn't want to hear it but people here have turned me off from winning anything in his past auction and I highly doubt will bid this Friday. My old passion would have had me in new York present for his live auction. I hadn't bought any GU in 6 months or so. In fact I won a gift certificate for this auction that someone else can have if Goldin rules allow it.

The only reason I posted was that I finally got an awesome baseball jersey 2 weeks ago. Unexpected. Then last week got a jersey that is immediately in the top 3 or 4 in my collection. Even my friends who have abs no interest in GU abs love this jersey. I have to admit it is awesome and wanted to share it with you guys.

Want to thank you guys for the nice words. And to the rest...whatever. Let's keep it fun.

And you're correct, there are a lot of quality awesome gear out there that aren't being posted. Oh, what happened to the "grouping" thread? That was becoming an awesome thread to look at.

Samets,

That's so over the line. It's embarrassing and blatant harassment. You should def report him to eBay, their messaging system. And I see he has a lot of feedback so your hitting him where he'll feel it. Which is deserved. Also, report him to the mod here. Chris cavalier should def act on this. He's just one of the problems here that drive people away.

Sorry for that. Unfort it seems to becoming the norm.

I look forward to seeing this new jersey! Considering your collection it should be something very special to be in the top 3 or 4.

Keep your head up!

You didn't last very long in the other hobbies Steeleraddict, guess it's not that bad over here after all. We all missed your entertaining posts, welcome back.

Nunnari, TOTTALY AGREE, Steeler your attitude is like the steelers record, pathetic. This site is a wealth of info despite a few bad apples such as u. Why are u pathetically passive aggresively threatening Goldin that u won't bid on his stuff because this site doesnt' massage your ego? Looks like mommy hasn't weeeened u off that milk. Time to be put on your big boy pants cuz here we play with pads; and your power collection and cyber throwing money around doesn't impress anyone here who earned their way and are honest fans not elitest bull sitters. Grow some grapefruits to replace them peanuts and u will fit in just fine.

And that's the bottom line cuz STONE COLD SAID SO q my music

Really?

In one post- you managed to prove exactly what he's saying.

Cmon man, grow up. Learn to express yourself with some type of intellect before posting stuff like "Cuz Stone Cold Said So".

Steve Austin was a redneck, but he was a smart redneck: He turned himself into a brand.

Your just turning yourself into a stereotype.

I will comment, since one of the examples given was my post. My post was strictly meant to get individuals opinions on what their thoughts were. I’m not an idiot and know how to use google, yahoo, etc. A few of us at work were discussing the issue, and many had their own thoughts on it, which I found interesting. Some were previously players too, so that’s what I was looking for with my post. To make smartass and negative comments, serves no purpose than just being a smartass. If you have something positive to add, then by all means, do so. If not, then don’t comment.

One of the main reasons I know longer post, is just that! The nasty attitudes and inappropriate comments made, when not deserved, and they need to stop. I miss many of those who were part of this forum back when I first joined. Most of them left for the same reason, which I find sad.

Behaviors like this happen, only because they are able to continue to do so. As I see it, it’s not difficult to squash it. If someone attacks or makes an inappropriate comment that weren't warranted, kick them out of the forum. The more you do this, the more will realize what will happen to them if they do it, and it will stop, and you’ll find that the members left in the forum, are good members. May not be a lot, but will make for a much better forum.

When I would post things about Arod, I would constantly get attacked. I get people don’t like Arod, but it doesn’t mean you have to express it in someone’s post. When posting about a game used bat I obtained, comments would be made about what a jerk he was, which had nothing to do with my post about my bat. So for this, I just don’t get it.

+1000000 there is a definite need for a change here.
