I gave Hollywood good advice. He completely ignored it.  

That's a whole other story, I tried to be nice, but he kept on trying to get close. I believe he tried for a while but if he had to go then there you have it. In short me too

I do not see you as some delicate flower that needs protecting.  When I joined I was piled on like none other.  I was accused of being 3 different shills.  Hundreds of pages were devoted to excoriating me.  I stuck around, learning as I went.

But you are a shill.  :baiting:

Certain mindsets cannot listen to advice.  Some actually get angry when it is given.  Why would you get angry if someone gave you advice?  Just ignore it if you want.  Maybe they see it as the other person saying they are much smarter than you.  Which is indicitave of other issues.   I've had solid advice from children.

Buzz gave me a lot of advice that I did not aks for.  I did not go MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS YOU $#@@!@!! CONDESCENDING *%$#!.
It was taken in and completely rewired my world view on moderation, which I had believed was out to get me, biased, and stupid.
This is the ONLY way rewiring happens.  You cannot do it by 'self reflection', because your mirror is a fun house mirror.  You have to take outside evidence.  Someone who sees what is happening, from the outside.  This is the whole point of Sufi and Zen and other such groups.  

This I didnt know. And regarding my post, I suffered to be nice to holly when he latched on to me, but I could tell, it wasnt going to end well, I let that go too.

So hopefully me and you ar ok. That whole rooted thing was therapeutic and some justified, yet I think at least we came out better people for it. @Buzzetta

For those on this thread with positive comments . . . thanks! :D

 

I'm assuming the post above was about me.  If not than forgive this rant.

 

Trouble with the internet is words come out totally wrong.  First, I never accused anyone, and certainly never mentioned a "robojo" unless that's the name for Kellyssuperheroes on this forum.  Here is what I said:

and then I said this to JJ and it came out all wrong.  I should never have said "prove it".  What I meant was can you explain to me what you are seeing that makes you say it's not the book I thought, but it came out as a taunt:

Then came some back and forth about whether or not I was holding a book from Kellyssuperheroes or not that really had nothing to do with my original post which was to bump an 8 year old post about an Ebay seller who may or may not be using unethical sales methods, but whose listings do seem odd even today.  The accusation in the thread is that they are books taken from slabs that cracked and sold as higher grade.  I did not make that accusation, it is in the thread. Now the other problem was I broke one of my Cardinal Rules: Never Drink and Post.  There should be jail time or something so people like me remember to stay away from the computer after drinking.  I thought the book I photographed that night came from Kellyssuperheroes, but in fact it did not.  I have since had a long email back and forth with Kellyssuperheroes and he has been immensely gracious and simply cancelled the order after reading the thread here on CGC and realizing my intention.  He went further in offering to help with advice on any of my future purchases.  Anyways the point is 1) I did not accuse anyone of anything I said "if" it's true then I would rather not buy from Kelly again, but as he has been so gracious I find I am willing to reconsider buying from him in the future, and 2) I was confused about which book I had, but that was so ancillary to my desire to bump an important thread, and once I woke up no longer under the influence of alcohol I simply felt it wasn't worth discussing further.  I had bumped the thread and that was enough.  Now, however, it appears folks feel I accused somebody of something.  If I did, it was not my intention and I am sorry and apologize.

 

As for this thread and the two sides.  Fear not - at 55 I have super thick skin (maybe too thick in the head at times) so I intend to stay . . .ohh . . . and one last point.  Someone posted I did not take the advice I asked for in the MoonKnight/ water damage thread.  I totally disagree.  All I asked was can pressing repair the damage.  I never asked for opinions on what I should do with my book that I intend to keep, but I got plenty of "hey dude, your book sucks, go buy a better one and don't waste money repairing junk."  Well, like the Cap thread it's my junk and my money so I plan on repairing it whether dollars make sense or not (but I still think I will come out ahead in the long run :D   )

 

That was one long post . . . from a not so lurker anymore.  Peace y'all.  Hey I found another "Key" today in my collection!!

Kellysuperheroes is robojo or Dupcak.  He has a long history in the hobby and on the boards and it's pretty dark.  My best advice regarding him is to avoid him.  I've had very good experiences with mycomicshop, bob storms, and greg reece.

As you say words come out wrong on the internet and I'm no exception.  I was incorrect when I said you accused robojo of being dishonest and I apologize.  The issue was your claims of receiving books that you could not receive and I appreciate that you've cleared that up.

Welcome to the boards

Because it's non-stop? Just like your 'that's what *** said" posts?

And now you're following me and  dragging it all over the boards incessantly? First in the WC and now here?

That post wasn't meant for you. Kav is indirectly chastising me all over the CGC boards currently.

Nonsense... feel free to ask because sometimes the answer changes over the years or new information comes to light. 

Very true. Look at how much fluctuation there’s been in the comics market since CGC started.  It’s very dynamic, in many ways.
