  1. It is but some are here to sell comics and the community is secondary. Can I ask where this blanket statement comes from? 1) I don't know of anyone selling to HOS members. 2) to say, if you are referring to me, that selling comics comes first and the community comes second, I suggest you take a look at the entire body of what I've done here. This is specifically why I defended clobberintime -- this is the half cocked way in which some people decide to take their holier than thou positions about right and wrong. Finally, on the issue of SAGAT, I think there's very clear evidence that he knowingly sold a restored book as unrestored. What list he ought to go on is irrelevant to me, except that people should be informed. If that means the HOS, so be it. Anyone that has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit for basically forum watchdog activities is more than involved enough in the community. But your case aside, there are lots of people that discover this place, immediately start selling, never engage the community at all, and cause a lot of havoc.

  3. The "legislative intent" of the probation list is to inform forum members of other forum members failing to live up to their promises or transactions. It is also there to warn and hopefully prevent other forum members from being pulled into a transaction, unwittingly, with the same problem forum member. Being stuck on the exact words of how people are added to the probation list is to be mired in the semantics of what's written instead of embracing the broader goal and purpose of the list, why it was instituted, and why it is necessary. When you have one forum member, ripped off by another forum member, and a third forum member can give 1st hand testimony that it is fraudulent in nature and they both come onto this forum to speak about it they have made it the forum's business, they have brought the transaction to this forum. So semantics means exactly what I think it means. The list exists to help and prevent problems and fraud. It doesn't exist to preserve its specific language or WORSE to let its language stand in the way of clear and obvious fraud and warning our members of the same in order to protect themselves. Would the word minutia be more to everyone's liking, being that they are now stuck on the semantics of the word semantics? Thank you Judge Posner. They must hand you his book when you pass the Illinois bar.
  4. Then change the wording. If the offense is a likely indicator that a future board transaction will go south, and the facts are relatively well proven, what does it matter where it happened? My point being.. If Sagat goes on, shouldn't robojo, and bijou baby etc? Robojo and Bijoubaby are not on here constantly trolling the WTB forum with ridiculously low buying threads and generally reducing the ambient intelligence quotient. SAGAT is. Does it matter? To me, yes.

  6. Only ten million people in London - you really should've spotted us by now. About the same for rogering the President. I figured you guys all hung out in the same pub and threw darts and stuff.
  7. I keep looking for you guys on the Today Show. All they are showing this week is London. I can't believe I haven't seen anyone yet . . . PS: Does anyone know what the penalty is for shagging the queen to be?
  8. Ill trade ya my 9.2 copy Great book!! I wonder what the most sigs is on one of those. I have 3 on mine, but I think I have seen one with almost everyone except Byrne and Don Martin.
  9. Thank you mighty Great spirit for TJ; he who fights mightily against wildly_fanciful_statement. He who rails against $5 charges for signatures, insuring that all may profit from an artist's name, save that artist. He who always clambers up the moral high ground like rabid honey badger. Please, Great Spirit, ease his troubled mind. Let him continue to shout from the rooftops how unfair it is that some signings are private, and how unfair it is that the wildly_fanciful_statement hype machine grinds its gears on these Boards. Keep his heart pure and his beard clear of crumbs, for it is noble work he is doing.
  10. No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind the keyboard No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated Behind the keyboard.
  11. Well, one of five... No, that's my fault...for some reason I was thinking that tied for top census was ok. My apologies. I'm going to pretend Like I have the authority to give you a pass, because seeing that book was. . . I just got my 1st Miller recently, but that book is envy-inducing.
  12. Mine was as blank as the day is long. It was the second book in, so very little suspense.
  13. And you are sure it's not Yanus? Maybe an apostrophe would help out? I thought I should be a little more subtle than YButthole.
  14. I will get a pic up on Monday. It looks a lot like Chuck's, but more deliberate.
  15. They should be called "vicious furry death machines." Then they might get more respect.
  16. Why, is it 10 times normal sized? It is ginormous and it looks like this: C A M P B E L L
  17. Black. Wait til you see the JSC sig from my set. It is insane. I would think it was fake if I didn't open it myself.
