If I've learned anything from my forum experience here it's that no one can please everyone all of the time. So, I just speak my mind based on what I believe and that's it.
Anyone who resorts to petty insults in an argument is nothing but an witless idiot himself or herself. It shows a lack of intelligence, and a lack of creativity. It's the last resort of the dull mind.
There are diverse interests on this forum, as they are anywhere. That's the way it is people, and I think that's just fine.
And no, Carson, this has nothing to do with our emails. Nothing at all. I enjoy relationships with many, many of the folks who are on opposite sides of this debate. It's not a matter of choosing sides - that's pointless. It's just how I feel.
Yes, I delete things I find offensive, such as pictures of boners, which have no place here, unless they are on a Polish poster. That's ok. I delete things like calling Rich Dick when we know fucking well his name is Rich. Does calling him Dick support your argument somehow? I can think of names I'd like to call most of you from time to time, but I don't. It's pointless, and it's boring.
The beauty of this forum, like Thierry and I have said before, is that he and I don't have any expectations or concerns about participation. He and I would be just fine if we were the only two "members" and we just talk shit and show posters and the like. That there is even a SINGLE member here is a bonus for us. We enjoy the friendships, and the debates. Thierry has always laughed at all the bullshit. I'm catching up to him. I doesn't rile me any longer.
So, have at it, folks. Leave. Stay. Whatever. Just don't be hypocritical.
And on that note, yes, I think the thread was originally about POST auction analysis, meaning after an auction ends, Mel. But, things change. It went from that to discussing things pre-auction, mid-auction, what have you. SO WHAT? Are we so rigid in our views that anyone with contrary views is poisonous. If you feel like that, then get lost. Please.
And what about the ones who stir the shit just for the sake of stirring the sit, like the last guy with the "vintage" poster bullshit opinions? Everyone railed against him, but there's those of you now doing the same fucking thing. Grow up.
