From the guy who has single handedly caused more people to leave this forum do to his constant fighting, antagonizing, and cyber-stalking?
It's easy to be Politically Correct on the popular buzz issues, but to claim a tolerant and compassionate personality it must show in everything you do.
Really?
Please show me the empirical evidence that I single-handedly caused more people to leave this forum due to constant fighting, antagonizing and cyber-stalking? I think that would be pretty hard to do. Did people like Rockintheretro, moneyfornothin, Drew, jrossjr89, craiglstauction, monkeybusiness, acman, leota, storme leave because I cyber-stalked them or otherwise intimidated them? My guess is that the bulk of the people I mentioned above (if not all) left the forum because they just got tired of the business or the forum (or both).
On the other hand at least one member here called me by name (my real name, not my screen name) and from what I could tell that information came from here not from anywhere else…and I wasn’t the one who provided it.
Just because I took the time to find out the eBay user names and view the Craigslist listings of members here doesn’t mean I was (or am) stalking them. I have never released any of that information to anyone either here or anywhere else.
The information I gained about those people was all freely posted by those people right here on the forum. Sure, I put the pieces together where other people might not have had an interest in doing so, but it was only to learn some new things about listing on eBay/Craigslist from people who are having success with one or other or both. I have also learned things not to do in my listings.
If I call out Travis for not fulfilling the terms of an offer he made about posting in a certain area you can be sure it was not uncalled for. If I challenge Alloro for something he says I do so because I feel it is called for…just as you are doing here in regard to me. I don’t ask you to justify it, you don’t need to..it is something one decides to do for any number of reasons.
If I pay you (or, anyone else, a compliment), and I have paid YOU compliments on a fairly regular basis, I do so because I think it is deserved.
Due to the nature of your response above, maybe you think I was calling YOU a bigot or intolerant, but that was not the case. I told p…man that he was entitled to his opinion and you are too. I have no problem with that. I still think it is wrong of anyone to lump an entire group of people together and attribute some aspect to them. I believe this not because it is politically correct, but just because it is correct (imo).
Let the entire community judge for itself. They don’t have to defend me or you or anyone mentioned. They can just make their own judgements about each person and react or not react in any way they feel appropriate.
