Re: Thanks

As I mentioned in another thread, I have been sick recently and am trying to catch up on some things after being very busy with our auction. At this time, we are closing this thread as we don't see its current value as it pretains to the discussion of game used memorabilia. We will also be looking into this thread and a few others to see why some continue to take things to a personal level. If you are going to continue to post here, please note the following forum rules:

No Personal Attacks. Do not harass, belittle, threaten or “flame” another member. Do not call other members names, even in jest. You may dispute opinions and facts, but do so with facts and not by taking it to a personal level. This forum is intended to operate in a positive environment. Please help us achieve that goal.

It is expected that all posts are to be created with a sincere attempt to benefit the hobby. Any posts which the Administrator deems as a personal attack or an attempt to unnecessarily discredit others will be subject to the administrative rules of the forum.

Also, please note that all member participation in the forum are subject to all of the forum rules stated here and that we reserve the right to determine who may continue to post here based on these rules:

BIGTRUCK-I just thought it was funny to judge me (or anyone) from my grammer on a forum.I mean i could understand that if the person is maybe speaking "text" and can't use complete words.I mean my daughter will show me messages from her friends and her on her phone and i have no clue what they are talking about.And i tell her at least when we were teenagers we used complete words to communicate.I know "that's a great story grandpa".But anyway,you say that "we all have sort of issues on here".And as yours is "personal reflection".I guess mine is defending friends.And also just common decentcy towards others on here would also be a issue of mine.But then i have more issues than a newsstand.I understood where you were coming from also.I am glad to read that you emailed bob and expressed yourself to him.And its' all good with me and you as far as i am concerned.Thanks for another yoda moment.And your line is religion and mine is politics.

Just thought I'd add another Yoda moment
I talked to Bob via email, and it's all good. He of all people understood where I was coming from. Sometimes friends come in different packages., with different messages.

And Joba - no big deal about the grammar. We all have some sort of issue here. Mine is personal reflection. You guys are fortunate that I draw the line at religion here...we could get really deep.

Much respect to you all.

Re: Thanks

I just read my post from last night (drinking) and I have no idea what I was talking about....

Gotta stop drunken posts

Re: Thanks

Can we preview our posts before they're submitted? This thread is crawling with html issues.
I hope Bob comes back. He seems like a good guy. Then again, I hope that the many members who no longer post will return with some keen insight about game used stuff. But then again, it's just a stupid message board. Tears dry.

Re: Thanks

I am glad to read that this has become one big joke to you guys.Don't maybe work on making the forum better.Just keep making your little jokes and belittling people.Thats the way to go.And you find that you will just become a bashing forum with noone actually discussing topics intellegently.Bob had a valid point and most of you are missing it.This site used to be a forum where you could express your points of view in a mature way.But not now as you get bashed for that.And again bob did not quit cause "someone hurt his feelings and was mean to him".He left because of this kind of silliness on this last page.Keep up with the jokes though.Man you guys are funny!!!

Re: Thanks

Again 3arod13 i agree with all you are saying.I will even go a step furthur.Why post on this thread with a negative comment.I mean kicking someone when they are down is just plain uncalled for.Yes, its a forum and yes,i understand people have thier right to express thier thoughts.But i guess i don't understand it.Bob is not the type to do this for attention he was just letting people know he had enough and is leaving.I am sure he will be back but that's his choice.I think he even started the thread in a way to show his dissapointment on how this board has become a bashing forum.And the only reason i even posted on here is to show bob that he had a friend in me.And i just have to say that you you state things just like i would about this.It's not so much what you say,but how you say it.quote=3arod13;171575]People have different mindsets, positive and negative attitudes about different things, and see things differently, which is fine.

But how we choose our words at others and share those thoughts, makes a big difference. For those who want to add a positive and supportive comment to this thread is great. But for someone to then take those supportive and positive comments and state, "In my opinion the whole goodbye thread with everyone wishing and hoping he comes back is so melodramatic and over the top....", is a slam against those who made those comments.

Even if you personally think those comments were "melodramatic and over the top", there was no need to make the comment against those who were supportive.

Again, it's called being a friend!

Re: Thanks

If were gonna get into grammar, I will state, Tony incorrectly spelled definitely.

Now should I sue him, or consign my next auctions to him?

Re: Thanks

I wanted to let the board know that the 5 -1's that Tony gave me were very hurtful, excessive and upsetting to me. It is common on message boards to add only one + or - to a post NOT 5!....Ive had enough of this abuse and am officially calling it quits as senior memer of the board.....

If your going to retire please start your own thread

I want to officially apologize for hurting your feelings and upsetting you. Please don't go! You're a great guy and we will miss you if you do

[3arod13]

Re: Thanks

What is a -1?

I assumed +1 means you agree, and -1 means you don't. If I added 5 -1's, then I was simply stating I totally and definately agree with the comment.

This is the only message board I particpate in, so I'm not up on every and all rules like this.

As the young people say, "My bad."

3arod13-All i know is i understood what you ment and i agree with you.

People have different mindsets, positive and negative attitudes about different things, and see things differently, which is fine.

Re: Thanks

bigtruck-Seriously,grammer on a measage board.My grammer makes me sound like a kid, that's fine.As i am sure all you other grown men on here all use proper sentence structure.And thanks for gving me premission to be offended about it.And who cares? i guess bob did.And my point about "real life".All i was trying to say is that he like myself come on here for enjoyment and to get away from stress of the day.But thanks for the life lessons i really do appreciate them.You are like the yoda of this forum. hey it's ok i put a smile face,that means it's ok to take that shot at you.[quote=bigtruck260;171452]

And i am a grown man so there is no need to talk down to me as "i know how life goes sometimes"quote]

Here is another situation Joba - I did not think you were a grown man. I honestly thought you were a kid. You can get offended again if you like, but your posts...including the one above in response to mine is a long, rambling paragraph.

This is what I am talking about - you never know who is really behind the keyboard. You can't always tell what the intent of a post is - even with an emoticon.

BIGSTIG said that Bob rubs people the wrong way. He might have made an error in the context of 'people' - but I got his point.

Again, Joba - I am only responding as a person who generally lays back and does not get involved in controversy...however, in this case - there were 20 positive comments and ONE comment that you didn't like. Like I said, there will always be a person (or people) who disagree with what you think...or say. Who cares?
