Tksamtec, Why All the Tears?

I am definitely no Batman and my Bat signal has never worked at all.  Sometimes the trolls here get to me... and I (unnecessarily) respond back.  I have already discussed that privately with a couple members here.  I wish I had thicker skin.  Also, the trolls add nothing to the threads, whereas I thought I was being somewhat insightful or even somewhat helpful to others.  If that's not the case, I will crawl back under my rock or return to my lair.  I definitely am not trying to be anyone's hero or save anyone's day but my own.

Also, I have not been whining about anything that is not a legitimate concern... the bottom line is that some of the shit that goes on here is unnecessary.  I know its not my duty to clean it up, but those who don't fulfill their obligations as promised should be called out, no ?  I thought that's the way trading and sites like this work ?  I have had deals with you, and MANY others... and when things go right, I have no issues at all--look at the feedback I have and the feedback I have left for others... I am not hard to please nor am I playing the forum cop here.  But when communications are lacking or very poor (especially after I have sent money), I take exception to that behavior--I wouldn't do that to anyone b/c I don't think its right.  When I put faith in someone who I have never met, and send them cash through PP or via any other means, without any protection, especially since most transactions on PP here are sent as gifts, I do expect some level of communications and service in return for the trust that I put in the seller... that's all my point is and has ever been.

So, if that's not the way I am coming across, I need to change things up.  Obviously, after reading a post like this, from someone who I have dealt with in the past, and someone who doesn't seem to object to much that goes on here, I need to take a step back or throttle down, or whatever. Most of the threads here do get derailed, sometimes by other topics, and sometimes jsut by wasteful posts by trolls... just like the one you are referring to here.  I would never want to be compared to some of the troll loser's who dwell here, like Family Guy or CubanLover, I know their posts are meant to poke fun and try to get a rise out of anyone they can... I think most people know me alot better than that to even begin to make that reference that I am anything like those posters   And, unlike them, if I owe anyone/everyone an apology, then I will man-up and apologize for any disruptions I have caused...

For now, thanks for letting me know that my recent behavior has become annoying... its been noted, and I will definitely work on that.

Nice post T.

I was actually the one who bumped the BHK thread once I saw the Dunhill FS thread.  So I hope nobody is giving T shit over that.

I also put in two cents here and there. Can't help myself.
