USER ID DISCLOSURE...WHO ARE YOU?

644 posts in this topic

Whatever. You are not getting it.

 

If you really want someone to participate in this thread just PM them, but there is no reason to pressure this type of disclosure.

 

Can you not read? screwy.gif

Go back & re-read my posts. I have'nt pressurised anyone, just merely reacting to 'OldPie's' unsolicited views.

 

You are turning this into a fascist exercise and not respecting peoples' free choice.

Pick me up a pair of Jack Boots will ya', next time you're shopping at Wal-mart?

 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not sharing a bio in this thread, however brief...you are being aggressive and there is no need.

Again...CAN YOU NOT READ confused-smiley-013.gif.

Go Back and read my Posts about participation, I suggest you start at the 1st one......

 

Btw, I appreciate your efforts in keeping this thread on track

I was going to make a "point" and not post in the thread because I wasn't even reading it (and thus when I wandered upon Alex's musings, it made me chuckle b/c I wasn't intentionally doing anything until last night regarding this thread) as I'm doing a lot less posting or reading of the boards other than to stay up on them to communicate with CGC along with Scott and Brad. Then I thought, that's silly, because everyone knows who I am anyway.

 

Here's my brief bio, and it can be read by clicking the link:

 

http://www.bcoonlaw.com/attorneys/bio?bi...t_name=Ketterer

 

As a comic collector, I enjoy these boards but I see that it is less and less like when I first joined here, for better or for worse. A recent experience with another board member soured me when their tone turned accusatory -- and it made me realize that many of the people don't really know us, and we don't know them. Thus, my comment in this thread. I've met some great people and talked with others. I'm less interested in checking and reading the boards, and being away in Las Vegas highlighted this to me and just reading from a distance takes far less time and more than sates my comic internet fix.

 

Aside from the above referenced experience (and probably more important to me personally in my decision to spend less time here), you may have noticed that Flaming Telepath departed the boards as well, after some other debacle with lemur55 (without a DQ exit). In the end, this was another thing that made me realize that I've spent a lot of time here on the boards and people like to lash out at each other, and it's time to focus my attention on other things. While I want to look in and observe the boards and still maintain a relationship with my friends that I made here and the folks at CGC -- I did not want a drama queen exit -- because I'm not exiting, just stepping away from any sort of primary posting role. A few forumites mentioned to me my lessened presence, and since it will get less and less, I thought I'd post. Perhaps it will make me a better listener to the concerns the boards raises and in communicating them to CGC accurately and reporting back an accurate statement of their position.

 

Nonetheless, I still enjoy comics and the boards for what they are (Check out the Gold thread, just an awesome place to read some great comics history and fan appreciation for the medium), and will probably soon start a thread on where to post your questions or concerns you'd like to see Brad, Scott and myself pose to CGC so that we can get the answers to questions that board members have. Perhaps I'll still see some of you at cons or at forum dinners -- and even here from time to time on the boards.

 

Well said Sir...I mean that 893applaud-thumb.gif

you should list all the other board members who have yet to disclose and shame them.

 

That's not my intention.

If they choose not take part, that's their choice.

I must say I am somewhat nonplussed that some of the big cahooners around here have totally chosen to snub this thread.

Not picking on anyone, but all the Lawyers stand out for a start.

 

When you look at who is on the list, you can see the real players.

Respect to them for a distinct lack of arrogance hail.gif

Like I need to post a bio here for people to identify me. Just because I don't play your little game doesn't mean people don't know who I am. So zip it, tool.

Funny...really. Tool? bet your missus wishes you had one, that she could see anyway..

 

You really are a legend around here Big Man...in your own mind screwy.gif

While Alex's response is a bit over the top, I do agree that you come across rather pompous and self-important there, Scott. Best thing you could do is to just not respond at all.

I think it promotes trust & friendship & would eliminate al lot of the silly back-biting that goes on, and leave the field open for some fruitful discussions.

 

This thread could be a sort of referral for all members to see who's who, and promote greater trust I think.

 

I look forward to productive & fun discourse in the future, from all the real people.

 

Re-read your excellent start to this thread, some of which is copied above. I respectfully submit that your subsequent insults, belittlement, and coersion do not fulfill the objectives you articulated at the start.

You can read into my post whatever you want. My point is that most of the people who post here know my name, what I do for a living, what I collect, etc. The fact that I choose not to post my bio in this thread does not display "arrogance," as Alex suggested in the post I responded to.

 

And Alex, you really are a tool.

Gee such eloquence from our distinguished overblown resident windbag...

and definitely not the sharpest 'tool' in the box.

Here, here. thumbsup2.gif Can we please stop these verbal attacks? They are pointless and solve nothing. I don't care who started it. It's time to end it. If a person does not wish to post their bio that is their choice. Period. No reason for baiting or calling out. All it does is weaken validity and sour this thread.

 

Sorry for the sign-rantpost.gif

We now have a thing called 'Web Rage'. Interesting.

 

Wasn't that invented a few years ago by that MMMarvelous guy? confused-smiley-013.gif
