RockMyAmadeus Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just now, I like pie said: 46 minutes ago, RockMyAmadeus said: I've done business with Unknown on at least two occasions, and was quite satisfied with the service I received. Same. Not many but no problems and all the raw books purchased through them have come back 9.8. Yes, I am very, VERY pleased that the couple of times I ordered from them, they didn't send me the junk books. I pre-ordered, so the books they sent me were, for the most part, 9.8s, with just a couple of 9.6s sprinkled in. I know several outfits that cherrypick the books, then send the drek out to customers. Not them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do not care and I am not surprised. After all, I am dealing here mostly with citizens of the USA, a country where facts have become irrelevant and twisting the truth has become a form of art. To those: feel free to doubt what I say and believe what Darren says. Buy comics at Unknown and see what happens. However, there has to be a silent majority of boardies who read these messages, compare them to other bits of information and make up their own mind. If there is just one person who becomes more careful about ordering at Unknown then this is worth it. Oh, and Darren. Nice try. Look in the mirror and try saying aloud: "I am NOT a liar" Now, now, the U.S. citizen thing is a little below the belt, and does not add any credence to your position. In fact, it alienates reasonable people. Such a response is completely unecessary. You had/have a problem. Work it out. Pouting and derogatory responses are the responses of a child, not an adult.

I mean, you're not wrong. But lumping us all together and throwing shade at fellow boardies isn't exactly the way to win people over to your side of the agreement. If anything it just lends credence to Darren04's side of the story (in particular the character image he painted of you based on your conversations). I haven't dealt with either of you so I really can't make a judgement either way, but you could probably afford to be more tactful in your handling of it all.

I mean, you're not wrong. Sure he is. This isn't new. It's just human nature. It is true everywhere, at every time, in any place where humans have been. It happened in Greece, it happened in Rome, it happened in Sumeria, it happened in Thebes, it happens in Paris, London, Berlin, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Phnom Penh, etc. It's hardly unique to America in the early 21st century.

Yeah, but one would hope that as time goes on, we as a society would expand our knowledge. The last 30+ years has seen a dumbing down of American society that is boggling and troubling. I know Canada and Australia and France and England have "fake" news to an extent, but its acceptance as fact seems far less than what we have seen from the American public (especially of late). Any time someone mentions "flat earth" I just have to wonder how someone of the 21st century lacks a basic understanding of something that was known to the ancients. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time someone mentions "flat earth" I just have to wonder how someone of the 21st century lacks a basic understanding of something that was known to the ancients. I don't disagree with you, but I suspect that the reasons why would be hotly debated, were such debates possible on this board (they are not.) And it's been over 100 years in coming, not just the last 30. I've seen people I think of as having "considerably above average" intellect spout the most ludicrous, backwards, utterly-opposed-to-objective-reality things...and, no doubt, they've had the same reaction to me. When people can't agree on fundamental principles, much less the finer details, the civilization falls.When "your truth" is more important than THE truth....and, in fact, when a large section of any society maintains that there's not even any such thing as THE truth...that civilization fails. It happened in Egypt, it happened in India, it happened in China, it happened in Rome, it happened in the British Empire, it happened in France, it happened in Germany, it's happening in the US. After all...Neal Adams believes...despite all scientific evidence to the contrary...that the earth has "expanded" over the eons. Neal Adams is not a stupid man. But that's tinfoil type stuff, as we currently understand physics, both classical and quantum. Sadly, the only solution after the line has been passed is bloodshed. That's humanity for you. When we no longer have anything in common, there's nothing left to defend but ourselves. mysterio and lizards2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
