See Ya Guys
 

I'll make this short. It has become apparent that while this forum is fun and I do truly love posting on here, maybe I need to cut back and just watch from the side lines. It became evident when I got a very very nasty PM last night at a little over midnight with the title "Don't Respond"

it read..

Between you and me you are an insult to every decent person on this site.

Never had contact with this person before, however I think it's time to just cut back and say goodbye for a little. I am a over the top young kinda guy (my old job called me the cowboy cause I was wreckless lol) and it seems like my style may clash with a lot of people here.

Please feel free to contact me if you ever need any help with Robinson items. I have come a very long way with him. Also, If you ever have any stubs or programs I would be your guy too.

I'll read daily like I always do.

Have a great day guys!

I know how you feel. I have two guys jumping all over anything I post. I don't need to mention any names because those two jerks know who they are. I wish there were more forums like this one it's great but you always have some jerks that say stuff. Don't let the couple of stupid people chase you away.

Agreed. Some don't like me because of all the "prayers and help" posts, but the GREAT majority on here are awesome, helpful members and customers, and people I have bought from. This is a wonderful escape for so many of us that share a passion for what we love. I hope to see more of your posts and such too. Take the good and put the bad ones in the mental shredder:cool:

10 people could say they like you and if 1 says they don't, guess which one we think of?

We are funny as humans as we should only be thinking and be thankful of the 10, but most of us dwell on the 1 wondering why they don't like us?

This is a open/public forum and some will rub each other the wrong way. That's just the way it is so don't let the thoughts/opinions of others sway you into quitting/frequenting the site if you are not personally ready to do so yourself.

Funny
 

Funny, I got a similar post a couple of years ago after trying to buy a card from a member. He said almost exactly what your PM read. It was a Friday night and I assumed he was drinking so I walked away. Other guys on here you start a conversation and they lose their mind because your not reacting quick enough for them on either an offer or a response to an offer. I enjoy the forum but as you have taken a step back on the everyday posts simply because I have many other priorities and if I am going to lose sleep over something it won't be this forum or the people on it.

Never thought of myself as a Pollyanna type but when people complain about problems they have with others, be it here, or ebay or elsewhere I always think "man why don't I have these problems?" Maybe I do and I just don't sweat them. That would certainly be my advice to you stephen. We've done some business on here and I've enjoyed having you around. I do admit to thinking some of your asking prices/trade expectations are on the high side but I'm entitled to that opinion as you are entitled to try and get the best deal you can. I certainly would never insult you, especially since I can just choose not to be a part of any deal that I don't feel is good for me. I can only imagine that the negativity was in response to your 60's 70's lot trade. Lot's of guys have been complimentary, let me put it right out there, you KILLED it with that deal (and frankly I don't know what the bullpen plate is worth and don't care it was a great deal without it!) and deserve congratulations, not vitriol!

I am surprised that I haven't received and "you're a cheap bastard" backlash myself, cause, well, I am. :)

Spam block the tool and stay around!

+1

Don't go anywhere, just block the guy and enjoy the hobby in YOUR way. You seem pretty passionate (which is a good thing) and this community always has room for passionate people. Don't give them the satisfaction of bringing you down.

This!!! I've blocked a couple tools that still reside here and continue to enjoy the site.

You should to the same.

I agree. Ignore the scoundrels and stay!

Stephen--I agree with Rhett, Adam and the rest. Maintain your passion, spam block the idiot, and ab-sta-freakin'-toot-ly stick around.

Cheers,
Mike

Come on..block and move on

or grit your teeth..and start one of those " 2000 + looked at posts" that would get juicy and entertaining

Its only baseball cards !

Agreed....i got kicked off the PSA forums because of 3-4 AbSOLUTE ASSHOLES kept attacking me!!!! PSA kicked me off, and I was the one being attacked!!! Jackie thought it was the "right' thing to do because I was leading them on (sorta like when a woman dresses provacatively, she is begging to be raped) by defending myself. The ironic thing, is all 4 of those losers have since been kicked off PSA (I think 1 remains). Long story short, DON'T LET LOSER ASSHOLES GET YOU DOWN!!! You know your own self worth.

Ignore it. I've never seen any of your posts that seemed out of line.

What I'm growing weary of are the folks who need to point out some stupid error in your post, whether it be spelling, grammar, or just an obvious error, and pounce on with some lame joke and/or a heaping dose of ridicule. And then three other people pounce on the joke and try to one up it. I know this is rampant all over the Internet, but man you think people would have gotten over it by now.

um, damn, I'm definitely guilty in general, though I prefer factual errors.

No one should be followed and hounded.
 

No one should be followed around and hounded on this board. Period. One of those two Stephen mentioned has been asked to quit. Why only one? Because only one is known. A moderator is always only a PM away to help.

.

Good to know that you are around but it only takes one of these morons to attack your threads you put up selling cards and ruin your chances of selling your card. The two I am talking about are still here and still post. Mean time they think that they can post anything they want they are nasty people who don't belong here.

Not sure why anyone would say that to you. Seems to me like you're a good fellow who wants to be super active in the hobby, wants to pick brains and educate himself. Keep on truckin', as they say.

If you quit whoever is harassing you wins. Don't let that happen.

See ya
 

There are some as*h@le$ on here. Recently a card was listed for $1200 on BST I ask him if he would take $1000 and his reply was make me another offer when you become a real collector dirt bag. I just laughed it off these idiots are everywhere.

That is a ridiculous thing to say to you. Not that a moderator should get involved very often but I wouldn't mind asking that member to explain that comment? You guys really need to let a moderator know if someone is acting way out of line.

I just finished reading through this thread and just wanted to thank everyone for the support. I didn't realize I had that many people here that wanted me here. I am going to stick around because you are all right... I should not let one person ruin it for me. I do love this hobby too much.

I've enjoyed your posts and your passion and hope you stick around. I know that new people can sometimes rub people the wrong way leading to some personal attacks, but I think you've settled in nicely and are an asset to the board. I'd try the best you can to ignore people that are negative and just keep being you.

Good!

I'm mostly a browser, only an occasional poster, but amongst the many friendly, informative members there also seems to be a fair amount of arrogant and/or cranky members, and those who are both are brutal.

Just remember that it's a hobby and supposed to be fun and fulfilling. For those who are arrogant/cranky, it is probably neither. Sure, they may have an impressive and valuable collection, but none of us can take this stuff with us, so if we're not enjoying it, what are we doing??

If you're enjoying it and having fun with it, let that be enough :). Let those other folks be miserable if they want to.

Good decision.

The diversity of interests and opinions is one of the strengths of this board.

I'm sure the moderator could help if someone is out of line.

Well, a quasi welcome back, Stephen!

Occasionally, we all have to put on ear-muffs or grow thicker skin.


Glad you're staying.

I agree with Leon. If that happened to me I would post the members id and the message to let other members know who they are dealing with. I've had plenty of deals that didn't go down on both the buyer and seller side. I've never been insulted like that, or felt the need to insult someone else for their offer.

Glad you're staying and I would think your experience now will be even better as more people will want to engage with you. Good decision.

Great ! :)

I agree; don't let the fools win!

Steve

I'm sorry, but in this age of social media, the English language is going to shit. So yes, call me a "grammar Nazi", because I care to a certain degree. Do I comment or jump down someone's throat? No. I make errors myself, but a polite comment could never hurt... especially when it's grammar dictating the assistance is warranted and greatly needed. How will people, including myself, ever learn?
....just my opinion my friend.

Brent

May I introduce you to Jake? :D

+1 plus that guy that pmed you said " your an insult to every decent person on the board" ? there arent any decent people on this board so dont worry about that

Generally speaking, and I mean this in the most polite way that I can, if somebody has a problem with anything I post, they can go f themselves.

And, they can post a contradictory opinion which might actually cause me to say something to the effect of "wow, I'm a complete idiot, I have been wrong", stranger things have happened.

Like a reality TV star being elected president.

Note that the previous sentence makes no reference to who I voted for.

Insert smiley face here.

I love your posts Stephen, and I have enjoyed our off site communications, as well. I hope you stick around.

Doug "wow, maybe I'm a complete idiot" Goodman

:(I thought you made a post a couple of weeks ago telling Leon you wanted all of your posts deleted, and were leaving N54?? Damn!

I have spent time with Doug and he is not a complete idiot :)

Stephen, don't let one person ruin your enjoyment. Stick around, please.

Why is it any of your business?

Note to self.... if you intend to leave a chat board forever, don't tell anyone.

Partial idiot, maybe? Just checkin'. I am about 63% myself.

And to put it another way Doug, If anybody on this board( not you Leon) doesn't like what I say, my offers or asking prices....They can kiss my ARSE and call it a love story!!!

haha...big +1!!!!

Not a slam against the OP but I often wonder why some members feel the need to announce to everyone that they are leaving the forum.

I would guess most really don't want to leave and are just seeking attention.:rolleyes:

? Ben I was not seeking attention.

I agree Ben, I think the correct word I'm looking for is "lame".

What is "lame" is any fellow member of this board private messaging another member and telling them
"Between you and me you are an insult to every decent person on this site."

The person that did this is "lame' in my book and a 24 karat jackass to boot!!!
