Get Marwood & I Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I broke my own preemptive strike rule in Cal's thread yesterday and didn't feel good about it afterwards if I'm honest. The trouble with his posts is, like Stu's, they are so cloaked in rancour, aggression and a general lack of class that any decent points within them are lost. There was actually a reasonable question hiding in all the dross, which didn't get answered before the thread was pulled. If Cal had simply posted the question "why, Timmay, did you buy three of my ebay lots if you have stated publicly on the boards that I am a poor grader / unreputable?" he may have kept his thread alive long enough to get the answer. But instead he posted personal details, threatened legal action and offered out Transplant for a fight. His responses to my gentle digs were humour / wit free. So you have to question whether we are dealing with someone who is the full shilling. The tag on this thread is 'loon'. If he is a loon in the medical sense, what does that make us for entertaining / baiting him? I see he is still logging in, but has likely been served a temporary ban as he's not posting. What more does one have to do to get a full ban from these boards? Surely it would be in everyone's interests, including Cal's, for the relationship to end now?

He basically accused one or more boardies of attempting to ruin his eBay business, by stating he overgraded and shills his auctions. A boardie, who he said has disparaged him here, apparently bought some books and he didn't like that as he assumed the boardie would say he overgraded them and leave him negative feedback. Some of us thought he should ship the books anyway and post images here and we could determine if his grading was accurate and if the boardie(s) in question just had an axe to grind with him. His thread was definitley over the top and preemptive in nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Oh, Cal. take it somewhere else. you know, like you keep PROMISING? if i had a dollar for every threat to leave made by you over the years, i would probably have enough for a decent meal at a family-style restaurant. I'm not sure what you are getting out of being annoying to strangers on the internet, but I am sure you could find someplace more worth your time. maybe somewhere over the rainbow there is a community of people who will find you sympathetic and not at all annoying. well, at least for the first month or so. get out there and be somebody! somebody else, preferably, but that might be asking for the moon and you'll want to start off slowly and pace yourself being no spring chicken these days lizards2, chrisco37 and comicdonna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
