'Cause that just ain't Paul's MO. He claims he has no axe to grind yet here he is, 12 pages on, railing on with the same tirade, about the same subject with people he refuses to name yet clearly is directing his agenda towards.
Please don't go Paul. I have some questions i'd *really* like you to answer.
Seriously why don't you quit hiding behind it all and come out and name the people you clearly have a problem with. Who is it Paul, that is
labeling and shamelessly self-promoting themselves to such a serious degree causing you the need put us all through this? Who is it who claims to have such a fan base and wield such rampant fame in the hobby?
It's no secret that you and i don't get along. Your vieled pot shots here on Hisstank before i was even member, your recent attempts to bait me on yojoe and RS and our long history are, at the risk of sounding oh so vain and famous (that was sarcasm, BTW because you seem to have a hard time reading it), strong indicators that you *might* be referencing me.
So i'm gonna play your game, calling you outright and i hope that you answer me directly instead of ignoring outright points that prove you wrong, as you've been so apt to do in the past. Now, let's compare me against three people you clearly admire (and that a case could be made that you are a FAN of) being that you've referenced them in this and previous threads in the past.
Ron Connor:
-Has a handful of submissions to yojoe.com (a site you have revered in the past and blamed me for not contributing to ad nauseum despite me repeatedly telling you i have sumitted a lot of stuff that didn't go online when NO ONE WAS UPDATING THAT SITE).
-Runs his own website where he shares photos and info of the items you think belong to everyone.
-Has written books about toy collecting
-Rarely posts on message boards but does help when he sees the threads
-Gladly answers questions in emails when people ask them of him
-Doesn't publically share every item in his collection

Dan Moore:
-Worked for yojoe for a short period but quit after running into the same problems that plagued yojoe for years.
-Instead has his photos on his webshots page
-Starting a new Joe website dedicated to stuff not dealt with on yojoe.
-Gladly answers questions in emails when people ask them of him
-Doesn't publically share every item in his collection
Shane Turgeon:
-Offered his services to yojoe to help them revamp their pro-prod archive but withdrew the offer after over a year of getting no response
-Instead has his photos on his own website
-Has been helping Dan Moore get his new website off the ground for over a year
-Gladly answers questions in emails when people ask them of him
-Doesn't publically share every item in his collection
Mark Bellomo:
-Has no submissions on yojoe
-Has written books about toy collecting
-Gives presentations at conventions
-Rarely posts on Joe message boards but does help when he sees the threads
-Gladly answers questions in emails when people ask them of him
-Doesn't publically share every item in his collection

Both Kevin and Peter have similar stories to mine and solid credentials themsevles, be it their work on yojoe.com, projectpdd.com, Kevin's interview with Ron Rudat, etc...
So there are the stats Paul. Why the hard on for us? Why the clearly veiled agenda against a handful of us? Is it because of our charm and good looks or is it because we're the only ones who actually publically defend our position against your rantings?
Don't hide behind it anymore. Don't try to wind people around with circular posts for 12 pages. Don't hide behind socio and psycho rhetoric. You crave clarity and "open discussion". You claim to be a "new" Paul, trying to turn over a new leaf. So man up and prove it. Let it out Paul; it'll be cathartic.
