  1. TFL stiffed someone to the Nth degree. I'm not disappointed Frank's on the list, but he did not arrive there via the proper channels. The Doc has a point. If board members can vote people in then why note vote yannis in? Is it because he's more popular with board members? In Yannis' case there is a wronged party - and it's up to that person to decide whether he goes on the probation list or not. So, in the absence of the wronged party stepping up, then we should just throw his name on a ballot and let the chips fall where they may, right?

  3. I agree and I think it's dumb that someone is added by popular, or in this case unpopular, vote. If the wronged party doesn't have the wherewithal to do it, then tough titty. Really? but tough titty to who?(or is it for whom?) the next guy? that doesnt seem right either. Welcome to the gray area. I'm not a fan of Dr. Frank and I'm not here as his champion, but addition to the probation list based on popular vote isn't right.

  5. So close. u, Caira Wow, the greggy mating call witnessed in the wild.
  6. I have been thinking about that possibility. I even suggested it as a possible solution. It seems perfect because, according to this thread the book was sold to Bat-Man for $100 less than what Matt was going to pay, so if Bat-Man sold it to Matt at the original price he would get $100 for his trouble. However, it has been gnawing on me that we have no way of knowing is that is true. That is was sold for less, that it wasn't actually sold for MORE to Bat-Man that what Matt was going to pay. Saying that it sold for less certainly would alleviate some of the ire of some members and I don't know if there's any evidence, outside of a couple of comments, to prove that this was the case. The selling price to Bat-Man is irrelevant, and I personally believe Matt should consider himself fortunate in this transaction.
  7. Don't sweat it. I'm sure a nicer presenting book for the grade will come along before you know it.
  8. To be fair, it has been really quiet on the boards till Frankie and his shenanigans then Trey and now this The rule of three.
  9. more food for thought...and a new twist...wow It doesn't seem so unreasonable that he'd put up a pic of his new comic ten days after "buying" it. If the deal was agreed upon on the 18th, maybe loot was sent on the 19th, comic shipped on the 20th or 21st, it's easy to see the second buyer not getting it until the 27th or 28th, then scanning it and getting it in his sig. I'm definitely leaning towards condemning the seller, but not at all convinced that the second buyer did anything wrong. I hope not. why would the seller sell it for less money than he had previously agreed a sale on? Especially as the original buyer still wanted the book. Doesn't add up. Maybe the seller is kookoo and not greedy. I guess that would be easier to forgive.
  10. You did nothing wrong! Sounds like Seller got a higher offer than your and reneged on deal. I have been tempted to do that but karma has always stopped me. Karma? What about just the old fashioned act of keeping your word?
  11. I have a feeling you're going to be better off in the long run. (thumbs u
  12. What?? No refund yet? Paypal said it would be in the acount till Monday is this normal??? OH great now i have something else to worry about What do you mean by that statement?
  13. I believe he admitted to more than one, although maybe not intentionally.
  14. You're doing an excellent job and I appreciate being along for the ride.
  15. These guys are spewing stuff that they've heard in, well, the media, in an attempt to sound enlightened and informed and sensitive toward women's issues. It is, therefore, ironic that a woman is giving them the business on this point. I bet they never saw it coming. They are also under the belief that the majority of folks (in this case the majority of the female gender) is so weak-willed and sheep-like that they are brainwashed by advertising, tv, movies, etc. To recap: 1) these male posters are trying to make themselves look good; 2) these male posters think the folks are stupid kitties Do you all see what happens when we let women post? now I get why there aren't many females in this hobby (thumbs u Yeah, lack of patience. you've never seen me at a con..I am the the poster child of Patience Would you be willing to give joeypost a few lessons?

You explode in a sticky mess of male chauvinism that covers the entire computer screen? She's going twist my posts regardless of what I say, so I'm just giving her what she wants. Danimal, control your woman. that statement just shows me what kind of man you are. He's kidding. If you haven't noticed by now, COI is a button pusher. He's does it to all of us, but he's a good guy. Oh, and Danny, just breathe, buddy. We don't want you kicked out of the hockey game at this stage. 99% of this is just fun.

  19. For the love of God, people. It's personally, not personal. I'm not taking this personally. Please don't take this personally. She's not taking this personally. Get it? And yes, this is a personal issue.
