A newer member here, pc1009, started a sale recently (ASM 129 + others) and it didn't go over very well. Anyone see it? Comments?
He broke a couple of rules. He was asking for offers on his books. (Later, it was shown that he was also trying to sell the main book on eBay.) A couple of us pointed out the infractions and gave a link to the selling guidelines. Then the pile-on happened. Questions about where the book came from, I don't know if they were answered or if they really needed to be answered. He was attacked for his spelling, grammar, and poor English skills. He was called a person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point and piled on some more. He fought back, the mods were notified and the thread was locked and deleted.
Yes, he broke a couple of selling rules. Yes, he was shown the guidelines for selling. Shouldn't it stop there? Did the rest of that train wreck really need to happen? Was the belittling necessary? Personally, I felt badly for the guy.
What do you guys think? :shrug:
