linky dink You are mine you little, bitty troll. First I don't see this as trolling, I see that he busted you and you are upset. Wow that sounds like a threat on your part.

Oh now I've taken it too low into the gutter? I'm attacked for some ridiculous (and mind you innocent) edit in my post and somehow I'm a drama queen, etc? Where the EFF are any of you guys discussing the matter at hand? A forum member's life was threatened. That is where my head is at. All this other BS is just that BS. Cal's agenda? Who cares? I edited my post to make it more clear I meant Cal...who cares? None of it means anything except to a few lonely post count junkies on this forum who like to think they are better than everyone else because they happened to join the forum years ago and have a post count to prove it. It's all nonsense. I won't sit back and be attacked for nothing. Whenever someone stands up to bullies on this forum and calls them out on it...suddenly they are drama queens or cry babies. Well, I've had enough. I'll stoop down to the level that I see here on a daily basis if that's what it takes. And, as someone who actually thinks this forum has a lot of good to offer...it's too often guys like some in this thread turn it into arguing and bickering. I can only imagine what their home lives are like. Pathetic really. And if my life was threatened, I would be quite happy if someone on the forum offered to help me with some law enforcement officers. But hey, that's just me. Wow get real Harold is a little punk and would run from the first person that confronted him! He has sent me a PM before and I just laughed at him and he went away, how many times have he sent threatening PM's to people

Hey Mark 1 is also friends with Doug, I wouldn't expect anything less of him.

Then quote/reply to the right person you are referring to...you replied to Flaming Telepath not Calamerica. And also edited his post after the event. What kind of man tries to hide his mistakes instead of admitting to them. But you didn't say that, did you? You've just gone back and edited your post...but fortunately I'd quoted the original. I'm going to leave it at this... I changed it before I even saw FT or your idiotic posts trying to cause an argument. I don't read every little thing that spews out of your head onto this computer screen. Fact is...guys like you who hide behind computer screens can't see the forest for the trees. You attack the very people who actually try to make this community a true community. Instead of going after the real problems of this board you go after people who actually contribute and try to enjoy this place. It's a sport to you and to F_T and others to attack those who didn't happen to join the forum before 2010. You can try to attack me on things like changing my post to make it more clear or other superfluous innocuous and benign issues. Why not focus your detective skills and huge amounts of time spending on this forum to actually do something positive? You have the post count to prove you like being here...how about showing it instead of trying to make others feel like lesser members? I happen to know the answer already. Because you are so inept in your own little lives that the only thing that makes you feel better is to attack others. To try and find every minute detail that could make someone look bad...you get off on it. That to me is pathetic. So go on....focus on other issues that have nothing to do with the fact Comicdonna had his life threatened. That's not important...what's important is that I changed a few words in my post to make it more clear so fools like you don't try to attack me for it. Newer members have to walk on egg shells in this place every time they post something because the lame post nazi's like yourself have to jump all over them for it. I feel sad for people like you. Get a life and focus on what is important in this forum. Attacking others for innocent mistakes is beyond lame. It just shows how sad you are. Again, ComicDonna...I would be concerned if that happened to me and I'm willing to help you anyway I can to try and find that scuzz. FDQ quote of the MONTH

Then quote/reply to the right person you are referring to...you replied to Flaming Telepath not Calamerica. And also edited his post after the event. What kind of man tries to hide his mistakes instead of admitting to them. WOW people are in a fighting mood today.

Whoopdeefreakindoo

I wonder what happen to old Frankie? I also wonder if he ever got that Action Comics.

Anyone want to send me details please

1. you posting in here 2. I knew he would get called out today

It's about to get ugly in here.

I will not say! I'm not that good of a detective and I found it!

Beau, that sucketh. The loser population on the boards brings me down. I would have demanded he return the books and refund his money. I would then have reposted them auction style with a full explanation of why these are appearing again for the same charity. I bet the sympathy bids would have well exceeded the original. This (thumbs u Sorry to hear that someone diminished your gesture Beau. There are some folks (here, there, and a little bit of everywhere unfortunately) that fail to see the forest of helping hands for the fact that the tree has an extra spine tic or two. Mangled metaphors aside, some folks are determined to be short-sighted or interested only in themselves. I am glad that it did not completely turn you off to the good works and you are still participating in your own way. Hope that all is well on your end outside of the general bad taste that this left I am surprised at some of the major deuchebaggery going on behind the scenes. A little shocking and quite unfortunate but don't lose faith in everyone here, just weed out the undesirables....we all have "lists'' just like Cal does. The best thing, though, is that you did the right thing and made it meaningful instead of affecting someone who was in need. And for that, you get the first You would fall out of your computer chair if you knew who this was, because many of you clap him on the back all the time what a swell fellow he is. That's the real shame! I know who it is too surprised me, but low class on his part

A little while back, this forum did me a huge favor by conducting a charity auction in my name. After that, I made a promise to myself to give back when I could. Any time a charity auction came up for any forum member, I made sure I was 'Johnny on the Spot' with donations. That stopped when I offered up some sweet books at 33% of GPA, and 50% of OS from two years ago. It's for a good cause, right? The buyer got the books, and claimed that they were of a lower grade than advertised. What's funny is that if they were the grade he said they were, he still made bank. To complain about a minor grade difference in a charity auction seems pretty low-class to me. Put away the jeweler's loupe. It's one thing if I send you a rat-chewed book, but it's another if the grade is a matter of personal eyeballing between forumites. Anyway, I fully refunded him, told him to keep the books, and made sure the charity auction recipient got 100% of the original proceeds. I just wanted to be done with this guy. This particular forumite has a record of selling over-graded books, and complaining that the books he buys are weak sauce. He knows who he is. I was still recovering from my financial hardships when this happened, but I ate the $80 + loss & shipping. From then on, I've only donated directly via Paypal. For something like this he should be called out so people would be aware of this jerk!

Sagat is buying? Hmmmm Sagat

What about Batman 222, its a very hard book to find. You have comic collectors and Beatles fans going after that book.

Actually, adding to the existing list makes as much sense as a separate one. I have updated the Probation List, added a notation about "Off-Board" and added SAGAT. If there are issues with this please take them up here and not on the formal Probation List thread! I thank you. Was this transaction done before they were board members? Didn't he give twisty back some of the money to make up for it being restored? I don't know if it was before they were boardies. And yes, he did give a partial refund two years later. Why do you ask? If it was done before they were on the boards, why would he be added to the list? He still gave a partial refund. I'm not defending his actions and I think he was wrong, but he gave him a refund. Why punish him further for something that he did make right. The only way to get off the list is either completing the transaction or make it right. Didn't he do that?

No you are wrong, the guy that bought the book from you is still on the forums and has not had any problems "except with you" his friend brought it up! I for one will never buy from you, I don't trust you.

And Paul... you sir are the "go to" man for sweet GGA books! As well as a super nice guy! I can only hope to attain your greatness sir He has a good attitude? If so the why is he taking shots a Green in his sales thread? Bio is wrong on this matter 100% Here is Bio taking shots at Green ... and that's what Green said. 8mile I'm just having some fun, man. My whole new sales thread is built around how ridiculous this all has become over what boils down to the fact the man was too lazy to push a few keys on his keyboard. What I'm doing is no worse than you bashing me over the Thing stuff, is it? That chip is causing you to lash out sir. I gave Green as much of an apology as he deserved at your request eariler. If he wants to throw shots at me in his sales thread, I'm all for it. Why can't you just sit back and realize that even Green got in on the joke and was the 3rd or 4th post in my hokey sales thread in question. He knows I'm joshin and its all in good fun. You may not care to know this but 2 different people PM'd me after your little rant about working at McDonalds. One person had a kid working to go to school and the other worked there because that was all that was available. They didn't appreciate you belittling them and thanked the members of the board who thought what you were doing was in poor taste. Even sent coupons! How nice is that? Very nice sir! Is what I'm doing kinda immature and jabby.... sure it is. I'm just making light of a bad situation between me and the man. I'm not attacking his place of work, his family or his way of life. I had a great Teri Hatcher gag using Green and everybody had fun with it. My Indian rant... priceless! The one you quoted above... simple, yet effectivly humorous. You are one of a few people who jumped in this thread that want to light the torches, grab the pitchforks and run a monster all the way up the windmill just to tell him that you just don't like silly ole monsters. And you guys do it to every monster you come across. I'm not the monster you're looking for 8mile. If Green is mad, then I hope he puts on the "RuPp ScrewDed mY Brainz oUt wiT His Funky Englash" sales thread and gets laughs at my expense. He could do "RuPp ReadeRz for meaniE Nutzheadz" or even a "Bio BucKedeD Me inda TakEit AreeA". Its totally up to him and I'm all for it. Anything to get this torch bearing bunch to loosen up a little. I invited you to come and have some fun and you still got the chip. Lose the chip... practice putting out the sign like I know Green is... and just relax buddy. It's almost Christmas too. Funny thing is I was going to buy some books until I saw what you said, you should of just left it alone and not said anything.

And Paul... you sir are the "go to" man for sweet GGA books! As well as a super nice guy! I can only hope to attain your greatness sir He has a good attitude?

No sir I'm not going against the community... of what is now? 36 or 37 people? With a 60 / 40 split? Maybe I'm newer here and Green just has more friends than I do? Maybe the 16 or 17 votes I have are mostly from dog lovers who really think that I have a cute puppy. I would like to think they see my rule was in place and really think that Green should have just taken the 2 minutes it would have taken to post those signs and avoided all this. There are thousands of members here 8mile... get them to all vote and then tell me about the "voice" of the community. Had Green completed the transaction by doing what was asked of him... politely I might add... then he would have had them. It doesn't matter that I said "sold" to him. Our conversation was in a PM and first TRUMPS ANY & ALL PM'S. Sure you can disagree with that if you want. You can't disagree with the fact that we were talking in a PM, dealing in a PM and coming to terms in a PM. Unfortunatly for Green, first trumps all PM's 60% of people who voted think thats wrong and I respect their opinion. But since it's my sales thread and my rules... then my opinion in how I would have looked to Kawfeadikt by backing out of a deal he made with me (by following the # 1 rule of my thread) was more important than Green's feelings since he couldn't follow my posted and requested rules. Just beg to differ 8mile. Hope you take the time to put that chip off your shoulder towards me and my fast food loving friends and join us at about 10pm est when I start my Silver Age readers sale back up. I'd love to sell some to you... just please post the sign. I have no chip on my shoulder towards you, but you are wrong. you told him sold in your PM that means they are sold easy as that.

8mile I do appreciate your concern for Green and your immediate "fling" of the probation thread. Perhaps you care more for the rules of this board than you previously acted like you did in our last conversations. Remember when you were mocking people who worked blue collar jobs like at McDonalds? I think I read in a thread where you got "schooled" for making those comments and they came back to haunt you... something about your job at the post office? Can't remember right off... I'm sure someone does tho. I put the "1st take it trumps any & all PM's" rule in place to prevent this kind of thing happening. I asked Green to post the "take its"... he refused. He lost. I've got to address a few things... Those who say I need to maintain my thread more properly... all this occured over a 12 - 15 min time frame. In the minutes waiting for Green to answer me about why he wouldn't post the "take its" is when the other buyer came into play with his own "take it". Really no time to get there first... but I wouldn't of posted them for him anyway. Why? Because as the seller of MY merchandise, I personally WANT the buyer to place that "take it" sign as public proof of our transaction for everyone to see. Now I'm hearing I backed out of the deal to make more money. What was the difference between the Thread price and what I quoted them to you for with all the extras you demanded, Green? Something like $7 or so, not counting the 3 free $2 Hulks you wanted? So figuring those in... it's about $1 extra I made by selling to the person who could take the time to post "take it". Is $1 really an amount worthy enough to tear me away from a deal with Green... who had already spent $100 in another thread of mine? So let's just nip that assumption the "Bio got greedy" right here fellas. $1 won't hardly get 8mile to hand me 3 stamps at the post office, let alone make it worth losing a $100 sale over. It wouldn't matter if Jesus himself told Green to post those signs. I could tell by his attitude toward me from his first response about posting them... that it was beneath him to do so... and I also feel he was offended I even asked. Why I don't know. He has stated that he read my request immediatly and then went to lay down. Why? I as the seller of MY goods on MY thread with MY rules asked him to do this. He didn't do it. He lost. Since I am the seller and those were my rules, it really doesn't matter one way or the other how Green, or anyone else, interpretated it. Green has backed out of the deal we had and I let him do so. The $100 worth of items that he could have had and the other items that he could have secured with a "take it" sign are on their way to someone who didn't have a problem throwing up that little sign. 8mile all you have to do is cast your vote... X amount of people think I'm right and X amount of people think Green is right. No biggie unless you continue to add to it. If he feel shafted, then Green, I am sorry you feel that way bud... hate you lost out on a great deal due to what ever reason you had to not post those signs. No hard feelings on my end. First i was making fun of the fact that thing was calling you a kid working at McDonalds not blue collar works. Second you said sold in your pm to him! Whats so hard to understand? Second the vote is in favor of green not you, does that mean that you "the same person who was defending the community by slamming Thing because of what he said about the members and the community" means that you are going against the communitys thoughts?

The problem is that he did no such thing, though - if he had specifically stated that Green needed to add the "takeit" to the threads to confirm the deal, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Green obviously read Rupp's reply as if this was a courtesy and not a requirement. And, to be honest, if I had been the buyer, that's exactly how I would have read it as well. Thats the way I saw it also. I just bought a cap 110 from jive turkey, in the pm i said I'll take it, he told me to put it in the sells thread to make it official sale. He didn't say sold or nothing in the pm, but he made sure I put it in the sells thread to avoid confusion. So I did. Thats the way it should of been handled.

Oh nooooo - you don't hold any grudges. It's not a grudge at all. He sold it to green then sold it to someone else! Whats so hard to understand. I read the whole thing and Bio was wrong and his attitude towards Green is also wrong. I don't even hold a grudge against you (thumbs u All this situation has done is brought a strong education to the overall forum (even Green will tell you this) that too many different standards are going around concerning what confirms a sale. And the opinions being brought to bear in this situation especially proves this out. What you interpret as cut-and-dry seems to be a different cut-and-dry for others. Bio-Rupp told Green SOLD, but then included a polite request for him to post a TAKE IT in each thread to confirm the deal. Green, in his own words, read this and decided not to do it, but rather went to watch TV because I believe he is taking medicine right now and felt he needed to lay down. It sounds like the ball was dropped on both sides. So how do you toss out there putting Bio-Rupp on the probation list with this situation? Maybe a little overboard on my part but Bio should of marked sold "its his sales thread" and not sold to the other person. His bad attitude towards green is just wrong. He should sell the books to Green, if you look at the vote results, it shows favorable towards Green. I do feel if Bio doesn't follow through the sell, he should give green a public apology.

Oh nooooo - you don't hold any grudges. It's not a grudge at all. He sold it to green then sold it to someone else! Whats so hard to understand. I read the whole thing and Bio was wrong and his attitude towards Green is also wrong. I don't even hold a grudge against you (thumbs u
