Ha, first off; I love that you say "I'm not going to bore you all with the details"-twice in an eight paragraph post!

And then you talk about childishness-while posting a flaming attack on somebody from a completely different website! Brilliant. I wish I could write situations that funny in my scripts.

Guilty. (although more than just I share complicity in what occured a few years ago)
And I have certainly tried to leave it all behind. It's just some clowns that won't let that occur.

Do you know the best way to get away from a past you've moved on from? STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! Seriously, it seems rather insincere when people say stuff like "you can trust me" or "I'm very respectful of authority"-the problem is that if you have to state it, it comes across as untrue.

so why are we supposed to care

I really do hate that line of reasoning. If you don't care then why did you bother to comment?

That is a great point. I love that people complain when they can just look the other way. I try to offer some helpful critisim, but if you've got nothing, why say anything at all?

1.) Yes I find it stupid as well that he won't sell to you.

2.) He has every right to do so no matter how stupid anyone believes that it is.

3.) Unrelated, 4Chan is far from a haven for hackers and illegal content. It's far too famous/infamous now for stuff like that. If you think that, well I don't know what to tell you.

4.) /tg/ is a very good source for gaming info and content, despite the good amount of stupid as well.

Sounds like you are the eBay idiot here.

It seems foolish that the guy won't sell to you, TR. I didn't realize you were another USENET refugee.

I don't think it's appropraite to call out t-tauri here on Dakka, as he's not a member. I also think that if you do get a friend to shell bid for you (go ahead if you need the models) that posting a picture of you with models is doing nothing but inciting flamewars on various forums. That seems like it would be a bad idea.

Just my $0.02

Also, if you do reply, don't call me 'son' unless you have DNA evidence to back up that claim.

Apparently, he IS according to Iorek.

Not an active member, then.

I don't think it'd start a flamewar, but it would just show how petty and childish Trenchraider is. I mean, if for whatever reason, I refused to sell something to someone I didn't like, and they went through all that trouble to get the thing anyway, and sent me a picture of them with the stuff? I'd bust a gut laughing at just how big of a loser they are. How self-absorbed and clueless they are that I would even care. Woo-hoo, you got my stuff, and just how much extra work did this ...'victory...' cost you?

Actually, rereading TR's OP, I don't believe this is happening at all. It's got to be a wind-up, because just read it over - it's like a step by step checklist on how to identify TFG.

He is a member and last posted on Feb, 14th, which is most certainly recent enough to be considered active.

But whether he posts often or not the same rules apply to everyone, there is no reason to post insults. The same discussion could be had without them.


And more to the point, I'm not entirely sure why this is up for public consumption. This sounds like an issue between the OP, the seller and Ebay.


I'm locking this thread now because it is inappropriately insulting to another member of Dakka.
