You get no arguements from me on all points. About time someone told it like it is. Hats off to you Mr. C.I.A.D.

I guess I've been guilty of a couple of those points. I'll stop. Or in the very least, I'll be more conscious of it. I've only been here for a short time, but I've grown rather fond of this place...so let's keep it nice.

C.I.A.D., I applaud your post. I've been trying to say the same thing for quite some time.
Reading some of the posts, I think we need to be sure to make a distinction here. I don't think we need to full-on discourage whining in general - after all, pissing and moaning about Flint's sleeves and gloves, and the Zartan/Serpentor updates (along with the question from yours truly j/k) got us the promise of fixed versions coming soon. I'm hoping if we keep whining about the movie, they might try to make that a little better as well. Some negativity, especially when warranted is just fine. What needs to be curtailed is the personal attacks, which is what I think Erick was getting at. Like Compulsive pointed out, the crap that happened to poor FireFly's personal AFA collection thread was uncalled for and ruined a great thread. Members angrily hurling "scalper" around at every sale thread asking for anything above retail gets old fast. And especially the "your an asshole because you got two Target HISS tanks and I haven't yet" stuff. That's the stuff that's gotta go.

Well done Erick! It's about time some of us get called out for peeing in the pool!
I joined this board almost a year ago out of sheer excitement for the 25th line. This is the first toy/collector/fan site of any kind that I have ever been a member of. The last time I had a "friend" that I could talk about joes with was more than 17 years ago. Through many posts, conversations and dealings with members of this site I have amassed a squad of new friends from all over the country to share the excitement of this hobby with. For that, I am eternally grateful to the 'tank. And as for you C.I.A.D., ........ You have my sword, sir. Lead on |

I think Derek's post is chock full of WIN. I wish I could've said what I wanted to say that quickly. I seriously type too much.
All in all, thank you all for your positive responses. To those that pm'ed me, thanks for sharing your ideas. I'll take your points of view in to consideration in the future. Now that this love fest is in full swing...Let's stop talkin' & do it |

I totally agree with you C.I.A.D!
I am not a fan of someone purchasing an item and then jacking the price up in order to sell it, however, it is their right. Just as C.I.A.D. said the best way to deal with this is not to purchase what they are selling. I have seen threads in the Buy,Sell, Trade section with people selling Joe items for an outrageous amount. The thing that has ticked me off is when people go on there and ridicule that person for jacking up the price. Those threads are for someone to sell their items and wait for someone to post back (or PM) that they are interested in the said item (if it happens at all!). If someone doesn't agree with what is happening then don't go into the thread and post. The best way to deal with it is ignore it. If no one posts then the seller might get the hint. Hurling insults will just bring the wrath of the moderators and a locked thread, which the seller was justified in opening in the first place. Once again I am not a fan of this practice but I do recognize a person's right to choose to do this and they should be able to advertise their goods without fear of retribution. We live in a free market society so hopefully we all can respect that. |

the tank is a refuge from the cess-pool of daily-life. there's no need for jerry springer-like behavior. i welcome your pithy observations of negativity C.I.A.D, and i thankyou. i was starting to get a little tired of the personnal attacks and childish behavior directed at one another.
the tank is the best, let's keep it that way with class! |
