Um just me or is something weird here?

[Sparky]

Why are you so angry.. Jealous of our gang? Hahaha it's no gang man it is a common sense club... Don't sell things at eBay prices here, be a nice and friendly guy & don't come here thinking you know it all, just keep an open mind. And It's that easy to fit in.

Many new guys have come here and I have got hooked up and jumped right into the "gang". We have a lot of passion for our systems and we stick up for it whether it be pricing or what games you should get. You sure won't find this over on Digitpress or any other forum... At least here I know these are people I can trust and I value there opinion and will be truthful whether I want to hear it or not.

Your first post was so negative what do you expect in resposnses? Your angry cause no one wants to trade with ya is that it?......with only 7 post in, patience man but it may be to late if you don't lighten up.

Lets see so you guys think that you are a gang and everyone has to pass an initiation? That it?

Last time I checked, you become a "respectable member", not through an initiation or a test, but through acting like one.
Some here have sharper fangs than others, but most of the time they mean well. Unless you decide to, oh I don't know, deliberately piss them off : /

Things get heated in the ebay thread, there's no question. I don't think anyone's been treated unfairly though. If it concerns you, avoid that thread. There's lots of other discussion going on that is in no way hostile. Why not tell us what you've been playing? Or ask about the system capabilities? Maybe pontificate on some obscure part of the system's history? I checked your post history and no one has been hostile towards you. In fact, most of your posts are thanking members for helping you out. Be friendly and helpful and you'll receive the same in return.

So lets see my posts up till now have been polite and thankfull. Must be my imagination that you are a jerk? (hmm had some xtra posts in here sorry Sadler not you so for you are cool) I just dreamed of you guys ganging up on the new guy? Oh wait all you have to do is scroll up lol so um whatever dude.

Trust is earned, and a majority don't know you from Adam...so you expect to be trusted with open arms....especially after  douchey posts like these...good luck.

Funny (as usual) almost all new members have no issues, it's the idiots that come on flailing their arms and spouting nonsense that have the issues...coincidence?

Huh? Where did I say I was to be exspected to be trusted? I did the trusting first, sent my equipment off, and some cash. Maybe I did not become a member by your standards, but who exatly the heck are you? So really you trying to tell me yall aint ganging up on me its my imagination? Are the "issues" because of me or because of you? Again just scroll up. You dont trust me who cares, but it is good to know you cannot be trusted. What you are upset because I said your boards aint so awesome? You treat people like they are trash then get all butt hurt. Look in the past posts it happens and it is no way to treat someone. You could be above all this and take with a grain of salt like a man, But no not yall, have to gang up on someone like the schoolyard bullies. And you guys say i act like a high schooler.

Niche community forums are usually located in the internet Bayous and they all exhibit the same bullish small town, "we don't like your kind here" mentality.

It is nothing new and to be expected given human nature. Use the ignore list function to disregard the most noisome members and otherwise just take it easy. Its an internet Forum, mate, nothing to get worked up about.

No one would've had trouble with you if you only discussed the problem and let off the 'tude in your first post of this topic. All it takes is a bit of tact and thoughtfulness.

But no not yall, have to gang up on someone like the schoolyard bullies. And you guys say i act like a high schooler.

Well, no offence but, your posts could use a another read before you submit. They're hard to to follow.

Edit: And well, yes, there is a bit of an anti-ebay thing going on here. But for good reason. eBay gauging isn't limited to just TG16/PCE stuff, of course, but that's what we can fight off here. If you've read threads where you feel someone has treated another member unfairly in relation to this, we could use some links to that so that we can evaluate this better.

And while some of us might be hating on eBay, it would be foolish of us not to take advantage of it as well. Not everything is insultingly overpriced and there are deals to be had. It's a kind of love-hate relationship. I'm sure you understand?

Ok Sparky let me see this is not my first post. Oh bout a year or so ago you sold me some of your famous stickers. Got the whole set and I might add awesome they are. Dunno If you remember but at about the same time a gentleman (ok very loose translation there lol) decided to sell heck dont even remember what. He was way overpriced for this boards tastes. Do you remember what ensued? All the cursing, nasty posts, ganging up. Kinda like what is going on now, well minus the cursing. Hmm interesting though cant seem to find hide nor hair of those posts. Turned the whole boards upside down lol. All someone had to do was thank him for the chance but none was interested. Yea but that was not what happened was it. I have got to say you are a cool dude, even though I put down your beloved board you are not acting like a jerk. And you do know what I am talking about, no? Sorta am hoping its not too late but what will be will be.

[SMF]

WOW just WOW im i reading this right. Hes calling us a gang then bullies. Dude whats up your ass? The people ive talk to or delt with are all f*cking awesome. Ok so you sent your stuff off to get modded thats cool and thats how you work up a rep on here with the other members. NOT by calling them out or insulting peoples family (Bernie's wife) I for one have no respect for some noob trying to preach about who we pick and choose who we let in our "gang". You sound like someone that has major issues to me. Sorry if we all didnt open you with open arms and welcome you to the fold when you didnt get any takers on your trades. SO what do you do? You blow up at us lol. What are you 10?

I remember something like that happening. I'm not sure we're thinking of the same thread but I'm pretty sure it was a case of the price was so off, it kind of became like an insult. Like if someone is questioning your intelligence. I remember this thread about a guy selling boxes for ridiculous prices. It's things like that. In that case, it was alright to get angry. A little of the top maybe, but that kind of response was to be expected. Whatever good intentions the guy had was blown away by the price of a box that was eerily near it's sought after content.

.  You have to be more specific. The situation you described has occurred about once every two months for the seven years I've been here.

[CAS]

Lol vestcoat please you will make my point lol. It does happen and yall expect people to just take it? No way to treat someone. Well as for Bernie I do owe his wife an apology, but he in no way had the right to tell someone to go to hell just because they do not believe the same way he does. Oh wait this is America he has the right to believe how he wants to. Oh so that meens that I have the right to believe they way I want to. Is that right? Well not on your boards anyways. And to think this all started out mostly as a jokish kind of thing. kamiboy and Ji-l87 thanks for your input. I will take into consideration. Got to admit that the potshot I took at zeta was prob a bit much, and I dont care how beloved that dude is he has anger issues or something lol. But it is nice to see that some will give advice and not just be well, I dont know how to put it properly. Dont need anymore angry citizens.

I'm being supported by eBay? Hm...I must be hella rich.

Hmm you are surprised when someone puts up a negative post after receiving one? Really? The point of that being who exactly do you figure you are to pick and choose who should join your boards and who should not? At the time of my first posts someone could have posted something but no you being the supreme well whatever you are decided that I am not up to your level. Someone posts something, even if you are not interested, could post something anything so they dont feel like the redheaded stepchild so to speak. Nice to know that whoever become your friend you will back them up even if they are wrong. You really surprised that someone would post something negative when ignored? Could be wrong but I think this is a public board, which means open to the public, which means you will get all kinds. Me I just would like to know where the measuring stick is to see if I might someday measure up to your standards. And really telling someone to go to hell because they dont see eye to eye with you well just aint right in polite society, not that anyone would ever mistake here for that.

[Bernie]

Hey CAS, f*ck off man.  Nobody gangs up on anyone here.  You came here posting shit, you get shit.  So, f*ck you.  And oh yes, f*ck you again.  I never said I was cool with my beer, and MY WIFE, you f*ckwad.  And as far as BlueBMW being cool with you, I am positive even his patience wears thin with your ignorance.  IF, you had actually posted like you had some sense, maybe you would see a lot of us here are "good  guys", including myself.  But, for you all I have is this...  f*ck YOU.  Dont need to be cool, aint saying im cool.  Just f*ck YOU.
