Tksamtec, Why All the Tears?

[Starbuck]

Tksamtec,
 
Don’t take this personally bro, but what is with all of these whining posts the last few days and weeks? Honestly, I think many understand what your true intentions are and of course are meant in a good way, but damn bro your approach is just so wrong.
 
At times, your posts come across as you being the “batman” of OLH. You know when Batman sees the bat signal in the sky over Gotham City right? The same applies to you, except in your case it’s the “Cohiba” or “Dunhill” signal shining up over OLH. As a great cigar smoker once said, “there is a line between responding to the call in the sky to make sure others do not get taken and when you flip burgers by day and turn into the “Cigar Hero” at night”.
 
I got to agree with this Cubalover, Cubanlover, or whoever the hell he is, your posts are like a little kid crying over his team getting beat at the end!
 
I think the last thing OLH needs right now is another Batman (lord knows Fat Guy does a great job of it), or maybe you could be his Robin and help out the others, but there are enough Batman’s here to keep all of OLH safe and sound. Like I said, I get your point as to what you are saying and doing, but it doesn’t come across as you being the “Cigar Hero” of OLH. I think you just need to work on your approach and how you swoop into OLH and save the buyers from a deal going bad.
 
Also, for once, did you ever stop and think that maybe some of these posts are “just for fun”? Ever think it could be to lead people on and get them to respond to their posts? In end, they are the Joker and have accomplished their mission by getting a rise out of you and pissing you off even more.

Yes I believe so. I honestly believe he is just messing with people and laughing about it all the way.

Starbuck are you the guy who was charging exorbitant prices for Behikes claiming they where EMS when they weren't?

Sigh. Yes, yes that was me. Caught red handed my friend. In for sale thread I clearly said they were EMS, sold them, and shipped non-EMS sticks (sarcastically).

Jesus.... Three post in and an epic fail to keep the topic on track. Gotta love OLH baby!!

Be careful using sarcasm here, "the masses" (aka the people tksamtec speaks for) usually don't understand it.

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.

Tksamtec, Why All the Tears? becase this reject got thrown out of match.com. This is all he has and he's a fucken drama queen.  This place is his life and one day he will move out of mom's basment and get a girl.
