NoMan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Have you ever gotten so pissed at an unreasonable customer that you've wanted to throw a slabbed book at their face? If you did throw a slabbed book at them would you take the time to find the lowest value slab or just grab the one closest to you to cause the most damage? Would you then retrieve it and have it pressed and reslabbed? Edited April 25, 2020 by NoMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMan Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 I don't know what day it is trapped in here. Two things happened: 1. - I saw the blender/McDonalds footage and 2. - I saw a customer at a convention about two years ago act towards a dealer like he'd never been punched in the face before and needed a serious punch to the face. I put two and two together and asked the question. Also a third thing happened: my wife put Ozark on pause to take a long work call and I had time to kill to ask the dealers here the question. Back to Ozark where one improbable thing happens after another. It's still better than Stranger Things which I refused to sit and watch with the wife. I went to my office/library and played with my books and comic books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't me. Short and rude is not my thing. Perhaps you should make sure before you speak wrongly of someone. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised he hasn't been banned yet. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicdonna Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The posts aren't here anymore but, I have seen this guy go into the comic events section and attack a reputable dealer in a really bad way. Nothing sparking it, just out of the blue. I have also seen him post some pretty disgusting stuff that don't belong on a comic forum, or any other forum for that matter. Sad.

I thought he redeemed himself. Too bad. I don't get the Lucas thread... why he would do that... whatevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA! This is not true! Quote from Dale at me at a con: Me: "May I please see that book on the wall." Dale: "Of course, that's why I brought them."
